ORS Replenishing Pak-I just didn't work for me.

[LocksOfLuV]

And I wanted it to work for me BADDDDD. It has wonderful ingredients plus I liked the smell and the fact that you can find it at the drugstore.

But that was a year ago and I haven't used it since then. It just made my hair hard and I got NO slip. I am gonna try it again next week, this time under my dryer for 30 minutes. I am kind of scared because I don't want any set backs anymore. Anyone had this happen to them? Did you try it again?

 

[Starian]

It gave me zero slip. I had to use a detangling conditioner as a followup.

I used a few more times after that, but only because I was sure my hair was conditioned in spite of it being tangled.

The one that comes in the bottle works better on my hair than the individual packs.

 

[vivadiva85]

Hmm, I never noticed this. I will use it today. I will tell you what happens.

 

[BrownSkin2]

It made my hair hard too, no slip what so ever. I used it twice.

 

[LiberianGirl]

It did nothing for me either. I bought two packs so I will go ahead and use it but will mix it with another conditioner and some oil.

 

[LocksOfLuV]

Wow, so maybe I shouldn't give it another shot....

I just KNEW I was the only one.

 

[Arcadian]

If it dosen't work it dosen't work.


Forget who did this but some have used it as a prepoo. (I know my SO does it this way but well...you know...)

Also, if you use it as a deep con, maybe wrapping a hot towel around your head will make it work better for you.

My hair love it like its crack Even more so with the hot towel method. I also add a few things in it though (keraphix, coconut oil) since I generally have to do those things anyway.


Ultimately it just may not be what your hair likes.

Dang, this is the KING of all my conditioners

 

[WomanlyCharm]

Sorry Locks, I can't believe the ORS pak doesn't work for you. It makes my hair slip like nobody's business, but again, everyone's hair is different.

For example, I can't use coconut milk. I tried twice...and each time my hair was a matted tangled mess.

 

[LocksOfLuV]

I still think Imma give it one mo gin.

Last time I used it, I didnt use it with my hooded dryer nor did I rinse under the shower head.

My hair usually like what your hair likes MizA (from reading your posts).

 

[HoneyDew]

It did not work for me either. I tried it several times. I ended up giving my supply to KhandiB.

It felt good during the rinse, but I could tell during styling and in the days following that something wasn't right.

Just wasn't for me, I guess. I think it left some kind of filmy stuff. My hair doesn't like that. That is why I don;t use CON either. It gave my hair the same problem.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I think clarifying first and using heat helps out alot to determine if a new conditioner will work for you. I've never used this particular conditioner but normally when doing those 2 things it make a big difference. Also, sometimes it take a few tries b4 seeing any benefits of a product. But if you really didn't like it I wouldn't give it another try since set backs are just too much to deal with.

[senimoni]

I only prepoo with it...I just bought some the other day just for that reason.

 

[glamazon386]

Aww Locks I'm sorry. I love the ORS paks.

You didn't rinse it?
So did you let it in your hair?

 

[LocksOfLuV]

No I rinsed it in the sink.

 

[hopeful]

Aww Locks I'm sorry. I love the ORS paks.

I love them too. I add warm evoo to mine, as well as a creamy moisturizing con and leave on with a shower cap for about 45 minutes. Any longer and my hair gets really dry then I have to follow with even more moisturizing con. I think you only need 15 minutes under the dryer or no more than 45 minutes without heat. This is not a conditioner that the longer you use it the better, at least with my experience. I only use it maybe once a month and it gives my hair strength. It doesn't give me slip though, but then nothing really gives my hair great slip.

Dang, this is the KING of all my conditioners

I like it a lot too, but I've never used by itself. I always add it to my Moisturizers DC

 

[asubeauty]

I love ORS paks. I use them without heat 45 mins to an hour. They didn't really work when I tried them under the dryer.

I also only use them after clarifying because if I don't, it does seem to get kind of filmy...

 

[PinkPeony]

No I rinsed it in the sink.

Hmmm... I'm sorry it didn't work for you b/c ORS combined with CON RED as rinse gives me MEGA slip

@ASU
Ditto to your whole post,just when i airdry I LUV the filmy feeling I get

Me too, this is my tried and true, never fails, hair combo

 

[SweetAKA]

Yep, this didnt work for me either. I bought a pack from the BSS, and loved the smell. But when I put it on and rinsed it out, my hair was hard and detangling was a mess. erplexed

But the smell..... I loved it.

 

[Mestiza]

I used the ORS Replenishing Pak and my hair absolutely hated it!

I sat under the dryer for at least 30 min. and my hair felt so hard and tangled when I rinsed it. I thought about giving it another try, but I don't know.

I used to use this conditioner every wash and after the awhile I got the same feeling. I only use this when I clarify on a regular basis.

 

[metalkitty]

ORS paks don't do much of anything for me either when I use it alone. But I use it with a dab of my trusty Porosity Control and my hair comes out really moisturized. I just don't like dabbling with the little packs.

 

[Lusa]

Locks, if it doesn't work for you don't force it. There are many other products that could do for your hair what ORS replenishing pak isn't.

 

[prettypuff1]

yeah.. somethings don't work for us all . i love this stuff, but there are other things i used that didnt work for me... dont force it

 

[Ladylyn]

If you just leave it in with or without a plastic cap like in a pre-poo it will make your hair hard. Personally I find it works better if you mix a little 100% protein conditioner then sit under a hood dryer or heat cap.
