Misses:
Desert Essence Shea Butter Conditioner
Giovanni Direct Leave-in Conditioner


Undecided:

Elysian Isle Avocado Oil. I love this stuff! So far I've only mixed it into some conditioner. But it works much better than olive oil on my hair.

Fantasia Tea Tree Natural Conditioner. Very tingly! Adds a little "oomph" to my conditioner washes. (Thanks Brownie and Peachtree!

Earthly Delight Conditioner. My cousin didn't like the ED shampoo, conditioner and pomade, so she gave them to me. I love the conditioner. The shampoo is ok--I can get the same or better results from cheaper products. But I like that it's all natural. The jury is still out on the pomade...

Final rinse with distilled water. It really does make a difference!

Aura Rosemary Mint Shampoo. I found an unopened bottle in my product graveyard. I thought it would clarify my hair. It just made it feel very rough and tangled.

It didn't even tingle!

Aubrey Organics Swimmers Conditioner. Great for post-exercise conditioner washes, esp. when left on for a while in the steam room.

MISSES:

You're welcome Brownrelaxedhair. I'm gonna look into the Aubrey Organics Swimmer Conditioner.
The Nature's Therapy ended up on my miss list last year. I'm mixing it up with oil for hot oil treatments to get rid of it. I hated this along with Redken Allsoft Heavy Cream.

Kerastase Masquintense
This was on my "Miss" list after I used it with heat the first time and it seemed to make my hair "too soft." I tried it this time w/o heat and did a twist-out. OMG, my hair came out so soft and it didn't tangle up at all!! This will be awesome for airdry days.

Misses:
Elasta QP Intense Conditiner - Gave me no slip at all
Elasta QP Cream Conditioning Shampoo - my hair just didn't feel clean after using this
