My hit is:
Beach Blond Life Preserve hair conditioning oil - smells nice and I think it would be great for those who find coconut too heavy and oily but I could be wrong.

Are you using it as a hot oil treatment, or just as a moisturizer?? /images/graemlins/confused.gif I checked "Makeup Alley" and this stuff has gotten a lot of rave reviews... /images/graemlins/up.gif

I just bought some from Big Lots in MD for $1.99!!! I was planning on saving it for next summer (the label says to apply it before going out in the sun, or swimming) but maybe I'll crack it open before then! /images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif

Same price in Chicago. I'm thinking about using it as a hot oil also. Great minds think alike /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

2. Garnier Fructis deep fortifying conditioner.

HUGE MISS:
Shea butter. When it dries or settles my hair clumps and it becomes impossible to detangle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Have you tried adding olive or coconut oil to the shea butter? Once my shea butter is creamy, I apply it to damp hair and add FOTE gel.

Another Miss /images/graemlins/frown.gif --

Fantasia IC Pure Tea Shampoo. I diluted it and it was still waaaaaay too harsh for my hair.

 

[EXSQUISIT]

Finally tried the Africa's best hair mayo again. It's really good and detangling. It also moisturizes well for me. /images/graemlins/up.gif

[Tracy]

Hits:
VO5 Stawberries and Cream Shampoo /images/graemlins/love.gif
Pantene Hydrating Curls Conditioner /images/graemlins/love.gif but I may like the RN and DMR better. We'll see.

Misses:
Elasta QP Shampoo for Relaxed Hair (just didn't QUITE do the trick).



Verdict is still out on:

Design Essentials Stimulations Conditioner
Design Essentials Deep Cleansing Shampoo
ResQ Leave In

The jury's still out because I used the DE stuff for the first time while also using the RESQ for the first time in a long time. Something went wrong and I ended up with sticky, gummy, dull hair with little movement. The comb keeps getting stuck when I try to run it through. Usually that problem is attriburtable to a leave in, so I'm assuming for now that it's the RESQ. But since I've never used the DE before I'm still not sure. I did LOVE the tinclging action of that conditioner tho, and the fact that ingredientwise, it's comparable to the UBH comditioner, which I considered trying again lately and haven't yet because I'd rather not order it online if I can help it. I'm pretty sure it's the leave in tho. I had almost a full bottle of it after about a year, and when I like a leave in that is SO not like me. I may have SOME, but usually not ALL of it. I'm gonna shelf the RESQ (again) and try the DE again to see. I'll let you know what November brings...

I used this for a little while. It didn't take long for me to not like it any more.
