Misses: New Lustrasilk Aloe Cholesterol. Why did they change the formula? I was so angry that I wrote them a letter /images/graemlins/mad.gif
NTM Shampoo: If I wanted something to tangle my hair, I would have bought some cheap VO5 shampoo, not that expensive stuff. /images/graemlins/swearing.gif
 
HITS:
Oyin Greg juice--a no oil moisturizing spritz
Cinnamon, EVOO, honey added to any conditioner

MISS:
Lustrasilk Aloe AND reg. cholesterol-they leave my hair hard and greasy! /images/graemlins/down.gif
 
I can't rinse Surge and Hawaiian Silky No Drip Activator out of my hair with plain water or conditioner. But my clarifying poos are too strong to use every other day or two and my regular poos are too gentle and I have to lather 3x-4x to get all the goop out of my hair. /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif So far only my Ampro Cream Fluff meets my needs. But I'm paranoid about it being discontinued or not being sold in my area anymore. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif So I have been looking for a cheap, mass distributed shampoo that I can use often w/o dryness. So far I have found two--

Hits:
Pert Plus 2 in 1 for Kids
Suave for Kids Dragon Fruit Shampoo (it's $1 cheaper than the Pert /images/graemlins/sekret.gif )

(I dilute them and only lather once)

HITS:
Elucence moisture balancing conditioner
Elucence moisture benefits shampoo
VO5 Pina colada conditioner

UNDECIDED:
Biolage ultra hydrating balm
 
I second the VO5 Pina Colada Conditioner! I finally found it... (CVS stores in Florida are carrying them now) and it's great stuff!

Glad you love the Elucence, Den1! I have a liter of the shampoo myself. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
hits:

vo5 extra body conditioner: even less frizz..i use this conditioner as a leave-in like i do all other vo5's

softee coconut oil &amp; cocoa butter i mixed (i melted these 2 in the microwave and mixed together...when i run out of this coconut oil i will go for the organic kind...this mix makes my hair really shiny and weighs my hair down better than shea butter and also straightens when i brush this mix thru my hair with a boar bristle brush)

creme of nature mahogany permanent dye--i should have bought 2 boxes cuz i almost ran out...but i had no burning and it went pretty well...i follow perm. dyes or rinses with a deep conditioning

pink perm rods--curling the ends on big hair days


jury is still out on:

coconut milk and lime: its hard to find coconut milk around here so i took instructions i found online to get the milk from the bottom of a cream of coconut can and mixed with milk...the mix was ok but i will have to try again later when i decide im gonna make coconut milk...instructions can be found via google /images/graemlins/smile.gif

i can't believe thats all i bought this month /images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
I gotta try that pretreatment Anky. Thanks!!

HITS:
Pantene S &amp; Sleek Serum(Dimethicone)
Sally's Humectress(Leave-In)
Aussie 3MM(I'm thinking COs)
Suave Pro Therappe

MISSES:
Garnier Fructis Fortifying Con. It felt cheap on my hair. I'll pass.
 
Hits:

Creme of Nature Nourishing Conditioner as a Deep Conditioner.

Miss:
Dudley's Fantastic Body Setting Lotion, I've used this several times and the only thing I like about it is the excellent slip it provides on wet hair, other than that its not worth it.
 
Another hit:

Cristina Satin Nites Extra long satin scarf. My hair seems to stay really moisturized when I use this one compared to my silk scarves.

ditto!

Whole Foods was out of the GPB so I figured I'd try the Honeusuckle. I loved it! My hair felt soft and the feeling lasted than other conditioners' results. It must be the shea butter. /images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif

I bought three bottles yesterday. I'm hooked! /images/graemlins/up.gif

Faith, I was checking out your new pics in your album. Your hair is looking good girl and is it ever growing! what kind of texturizer do you use and do you use the baggie method most days? I need to check out your regime. Do you take vits? Have you been steaming your hair as well? Whatever you are doing it is working for you. Keep the progress pics coming. Bonjour
