October 2017: Hits & Misses

[IDareT'sHair]

Hit & Miss:
Texture Me Naturals Henna & Amla Deep Conditioner

Hit:
It's full of Ayurvedic ingredients (as most of her products) - BAQ, Amla, Shikakai, Bhringraj, Brahmi, Hibiscus, Neem.

Miss:
Not sure what it's suppose to do. I used it as a DC'er and this week I used it as a Pre-Rx (on dry hair) and it performed the exact same way.

What Blow-Fryer is this Ms. Imaginary?

Hits:
Pooka pure and simple butter (omg I have slept on this for years. It is the only thing that has made my hair soft and moisturized lately)

Doing gradual trims on my hair. I have been trimming every few days as I could not bear to cut the 6 or more inches that was needed from some sections in my hair. My hair is looking fuller and fuller. That’s how I transitioned too. Over time. I have to have all the bad ends out by the end of the week though as I will be protective styling for the next few weeks.

Sarenzo quinoa protein treatment (I finally found another holy grail protein! Claudie’s has been my only one for years!)

Miss:
Lottabody hold me custard. It left residue in my hair. I only used it around my edges. If it did that to my edges I can only imagine what it would do to my whole head if I used it for a braid out or as a full styler. I may give it another try before I toss it. It was only like $4 or $5.

Nothing.

Miss:
Tresemme Heat Tamer spray, it felt like like alcohol on my hair. I hated how my hair felt after using it. I am so over spray heat protectant.

I saw the Ashiest One Yesterday dipping into her's proudly sitting on her Desk.

She is the one that buys Family Dollar Lotion and ALL things generic and off-brand.

Both Ashy's got the nerve to work in the same Department. I think Ashy #2 took hers home.

If she would have left her's there Ashy #1 probably would have been using Ashy #2 because she's a cheapskate.

All things generic and off brand lol!! Girlllll I can’t stand folks like that!! Got a whole job and acting like they’re in the projects somewhere lol. All products are not created equal!

 

[Nightingale]

Surprise Hit: Renpure Bamboo and Coconut Water Conditioner + olive oil as a DC. Good detangler and left my hair very defined.

She used to always wear these ran up Knee Highs to work, (had 1,000,000,000) runs in them so I gave her a pair and the BW on her staff got mad at me because I gave her a pair.

Yeah because she can definitely afford to buy her own. Smh. No pride whatsoever.

She spends all her money on stocks, investments and property (so she says).

Hit
Shescentit Papaya Ultra Nourish Conditioner - crazy good slip & softness; I've been using it as a detangler and I'm a fan now; cannot speak to its merits as a rinse out since I don't use it in that way

I think you mixed me up with @IronButterfly . You really had me trying to remember when I called my dryer the best and formulating an apology. That dryer does look interesting though

Ya'll have me rolling!!!!

Well, thanks to @YvetteWithJoy I acquired this long armed blow dryer for myself and finally got around to using it. You use it like a brush. My hair was left soft instead of cardboard dry. Out of my entire head, about five hairs snagged which is considerably less than using the blow dryer attachment with teeth or using that flat iron brush. I have a blow dryer glove and even that snags my hair. So, yeah, this contraption here is the best blow dryer I have ever used. Evaaaahhhhh!

Miss: The Mane Choice Egyptian Collection Leave In and Twisting gel
These smelled amazing but I was not amazed. The leave in didn't have that much slip. So back to Sally's they go. I've been in the natural game long enough to have zero patience, it better give me a good first impression or it's going back to the store .

Girl, I was squinting up one eye tryna' read the name on the side. .. Putting it under a 200 Watt Bulb etc...

Okay Gurl.....So what did you put on your hair? Any Kind of Heat Protection, Blow Dry Creme?

Thank you!

ETA: Is there a Heat Gauge?

 

[Colocha]

Hit: Other members of my hospital team telling me they could tell my hair was long despite it being in a bun. I have finally reached the goal I set in 2013 when I started paying attention to my hair. I have a cute, professional protective style that I can wear out and it's easy to do.

ETA: Is there a Heat Gauge?

No heat gauge. Just cool, warm, and hot. I used the warm setting. I shampooed, deep conditioned (all Joico products) and as my leave in I used Redken anti-snap on top of the Joico balm heat protector (forget the name). Then on top of that I used Carol's Daughter chocolate blow dry cream (which I normally hate!).
Since my ends snag no matter what, I made sure I went over them first with a comb and Denman.
Then starting at the ends, I used the blow dryer. I think next time I'll use less product, but all in all, it was great experience.

Thank You Sis. Placed My Order.

Will keep your tips in mind.

What Product(s) would you eliminate next time?

No probs. Hope you like it as much as I do. I'm not sure what I will eliminate next time. I was actually trying to recreate one of the Glamtwinz's routine's, but I need to create my own, especially since my hair is finer, kinkier and thinner than theirs. I normally don't blow dry my hair because of the stiffness and issues with my ends. But with this here new brush thingy , I'm thinking of doing it more often. The warm setting should keep heat damage at bay.
