November Hits& Misses

[Ayeshia]

Hits:
Kinky Twists...I thought my hair was going to be really dry and brittle because I was not moisturizing them like I was supposed to. But I just took them out and my hair has grown a bit with absolutely no breakage just massive shedding of course /images/graemlins/smile.gif I will definitely be getting them again in January before I go back to school from winter break /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hit: Phytorelaxer Index 2

Cont of my October/November Hits& Misses

Hit:
Phytorelaxer Index 2
Phytospecific Milky conditioner (was included in the kit)
Nexxus Botanoil Shampoo


Elasta was my October miss. Elasta's results are the reason I had to get a touch up sooner.

 

[reformatio]

Hits:
Nexxus Botanic Oil
Nexxus Therappe
Nexxus Humectress
ORS Olive Oil Crème
Extra Virgin Olive Oil [as hot oil treatment]

Misses:
ORS Olive Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion
Elasta QP Mango Butter Moisturizer

 

[Nyambura]

Hits:
* Asha's Naturals Mane Attraction (it's a hair creme)
* Asha's Naturals Sun Kissed (it's a pomade; it's got a beautiful scent but pregnancy has made me somewhat scent-intolerant. /images/graemlins/frown.gif)
* Platinum Hair Pomade for men (great for making waves on new growth when I'm wearing it slicked back in a bun)
I'm quite pleased with all of these. They're *truly* natural (unlike Aveda). I intend to shop there again. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

* Salerm 21 /images/graemlins/clap.gif Beautiful twist-outs; moisturizing; not too smelly.

* L'Oreal Smooth Intense hair serum - works as well on my hair as NTM's Healing Serum but comes in a bigger bottle for a lower price (Target special)

Misses:
Miss Key 10 en 1 conditioner - the smell makes me want to pass out; it leaves my hair feeling coated; right now, it seems like nothing more than a heavily-perfumed cholesterol conditioner. /images/graemlins/barf.gif

L'Oreal Color Vive conditioner - too runny, not moisturizing, left my hair tangled (much better w/oil added for CO washes)

Jury Still Out:
NACIDIT olive oil conditioner

 

[Chaya]

Hits:
Keracare Humecto in the 4lb TUB: Im in love
Motions Herbal line- shampoo, conditioner and mango butter
Essations Moisturesheen conditioner- no great smell but moisturizes like nobody's business
Rollersetting with just salerm 21 and water- no setting lotions

No misses!!

Are you on a challenge, or have you bought everything you could ever want!

 

[Laginappe]

Re: November Hits& Misses

Hits:

Vidal Sassoon Steam Roller Ion Hairsetter - Big hit. Purchased for $20 at Ulta.

Remington Heated Rag Rollers - These are really great. Perfect for travel because the case zips up and is very compact. They're soft bendy rollers, covered in a smooth (almost satiny) cover. I also purchased these at Ulta for $20.

Misses: None!

 

[sassygirl125]

Late addition:

Hit: Sally's Generic version of Aussie 3-Minute Miracle. $3.49 for 24 oz vs. $5.24 for 16 oz of the "real thing".
