October 2016: Hits & Misses

[Saludable84]

And this was my concern when I ordered it. Will that darn aloe prevent anything from penetrating. Maybe I will try DCing overnight too if that will help.

The overnight DC worked. I usually get scared because of mushy hair but this looks good. I pulled a strand and it was resistant.

When I used the Komaza, my hair soaked it all in and when I went to rinse, nothing really came out.

I believe its also a term for storyteller....

It's a 10 LI is > CHI Keratin LI

It's a 10 has way more slip,

It's funny how different everyone's hair is because the CHI has way more slip for my hair than It's A 10. I ended up selling the It's A 10 and repurchasing the CHI Keratin. I love it for roller sets.

YOU came up in here yesterday and blew this thread up! BOOM!

I'm over here thinking they can't really be that slow.

This is on their page. Either way, as revamp might need to happen.

Obia (pronounced "oh-bee-yah") means first daughter in the Lokaa language, our founders native tongue. Obia is from the Yakurr people of Nigeria, located in Cross River State. And yes, she is the first daughter of her family

After reading the about us section, it's clear that Obia has a different meaning depending on the language spoken. I saw that Obia means girl in Igbo and there are so many languages spoken in Nigeria so obviously the same word could have different meanings.

I still think the dc is crap though.

I had come to that conclusion. Unfortunately, the worse definition comes up at the first search.

I did not. I just gave some advice. Inquiring minds wanted to know.
And that's how the fire started lol...

That's how SSI Okra was for me. Hair soaked it all up. But it still didn't really do anything.

Hit: Satin Lined Caps
I am definitely getting more colors, these things are so great.

SSI did the same.

Girl, my hair is hard. That Komaza showed itself. I'm not happy with the aloe at all because my hair is tight but I'll sacrifice it to prevent breakage. The DC I used tried real hard though. My hair is still hard.

Likewise. I need to find my pal @rileypak so we can have all the colors

Me too! I'm planning on buying the black and purple during their next sale.

@Beany

I think she'll really like it. I might have to get my dad one too smh in case he tries to take it. there should be code somewhere for these things, right? I got mine half off I think. I'm gonna look around for a code .

Haha, Its just that I'm a research scientist so stuff like this doesn't phase me. I assumed that it was a word from a language I wasn't familiar with and I'm not going to fault the vendor for my ignorance/bias. BUTTT...

Miss: The bagasse DC itself isn't that good anyway for my lo-po strands on its own.

Sorta Hit: Obia babassu DC mixed with rosewater and honey works pretty decent. Not a repurchase though as there are cheaper things that work just as good without doctoring

HIITTT: LRC shake n go. I would wine and dine this leave in

I wonder if we work for the same company, hmmmm....

Anyway, I've never been moved by Obia. I work with so many Nigerians and Ghanaians, so now, I'm going to work tomorrow asking many questions.

New Hit

Netwurks21 Hair & Scalp Cream- I absolutely love this as an overnight treatment. I've been using it for the past few weeks and it just makes my hair so soft and pliable and there's very little to no breakage . I feel like I'm going to have to hoard this stuff

Continued Hit

APB Pumpkin Seed Mask- I can't even say enough about how much I love this DC. The slip, moisture, and softness I receive from this is nothing short of wonderful. Once a DC makes this picky heifer I call my hair bow down, I become ecstatic since my hair doesn't love too many things. Come BF...my APB cart will be popping

Very Nice Review

New Hit:
Cream & Coco's Tincture's (non-greasy)

 

[halee_J]

Possible Hit: Kenra blowdry spray

Don't want to get excited just yet, but, I like it. If anything it gives majur slip, great detangler. The medium rattail had significantly less trouble going through this 6 months post hair.

Normally hair takes about 1:20ish to dry with mesh rollers, possibly with a few damp spots. Today, 1 hr and I was dry. Like, spring off the rollers dry.
(not that mmm it's aaaalmosssst dry but dammit I'm tired let it airdry- dry ). Lol I acutally took less time to dry my hair than to set #iwaswatchingneflixtoo #dontjudgeme

Hair feels good. I will use it a few more times before I give a final verdict.

How does this compare to Jakeala's Hair Glaze?

Totally different product Read up on the Tinctures.

I scanned the listing for the 8 oz and she used the verbiage "hair glaze." That's why I asked. I'll go back and read the whole listing.

This sounds wonderful. I still want to hear how you feel about it after another try. Thanks so much for sharing hon.

@MileHighDiva
No, the two (Jakeala) are nothing alike.

The tincture has a whole lot of "stuff" in it and feels almost weightless (as it doubles for an after shower oil).

ETA: I still want that Jakeala too

 

[CopperRose]

HIT: Air-drying in perm rods instead of in twists/braids. Hair was softer for some reason :/.... Only issue is that I cannot sleep with those things and woke up with a headache

 

[Aggie]

Just got in from work and trying to catch up with all the postings I've missed. I see we were still discussing the Obia fiasco from yesterday. I think because of @Saludable84 review of the Komaza protein DC, i might want to add that to my BF list. I'm certainly now thinking about it for sure
