Pricy Product didn\'t work/inexpensive that did!

Recently I decided to blow dry my hair and wanted something to give it a sleek look. (Haven't use heat for a long time now) I found KMS Relaxing Balm (Flat out ) the cost $26.00. I decided to give it a swirl.
To get to the point.. I was better off keepiing the $26.00 and tangling my own hair. Can you say Elmers Glue? What a waste. Steer clear of this product. I had heard so much about this product...and it was definetly all talk and no action.

I love and will continue to used The Regis line.
Regis Hydrating Balm quenches your thrity, dry, brittle, frizzy hair. It is excellent for softening, smoothing, detanlgling!!! I love this conditioner. (POROSITY) If you're looking to heal hair ...this is the ultimate DEEP CONDITIONER.It caresses every strand. Their reconstructor is EXCELLENT. Does a wonderful job at yeilding breakage. Just enough protein to nurse hair back to health!!1

For an inexpensive choice I give my hair and my girls hair the "TCP" (TWO CONDITIONING PUNCH) This method knocks out all of our hair woes. Without a doubt!

I don't use shampoo that often, but when I do I love Soft Sheen's Carson BreakThru Moisturizing Shampoo. It feels like Creme of Nature but dosen't contain Sodium Hydroxide or the SLS. Very low sudsing. It detangles, softening, moisturizes. Definetly one to try. It claims to decrease breakage by 65%. It does an excellent job on my girls hair. Type 3a and 2. My hair as well! Two thumbs up!
Then I do the "TCP" method. I will use Optimum's Stay Strong Conditioner. This is excellent for strength, detanling. I allow to stay in hair for 8 mins. Rinse. Then I apply John Freida's Glistening Creme. This product will detangle, smooth, soften, make hair SLEEK, defrizz..oh did I say SOFTEN. Try John Freida's Glistening Creme. WONDERIFIC!!! (Is that a word? I used this method on my daughter's hair. Type 3a. Left in hair for 10 mins. Rinsed and blotted excess water with satin slip. I applied Africa's Best Ultimate Oil w/a smidge of Jojoba. I then pulled her hair straight back into a ponytail. I used non catching rubberbands down the entire length of hair. (about 30 inches she has natural) I then wrapped with a satin scarf and allowed to dry all the way. The next morning I removed the rubberbands her hair was SLEEK, SOFT, NO FRIZZ, SUPPLE, SMOOTH, OUTSANDING. It looked as if I had pressed her edges. The hair had soft waves and that was only from the rubberbands.
Method I will kepp.

4a/natural
medium texture
growing like crazy

I'm not a fan of pricey products.

Re: Pricy Product didn\'t work/inexpensive that did!

I intend to check out that Regis line in the future. What kind of non catching rubberbands are those? Are those the little black ones sold a Sally's? And you placed the rubberbands loosely down her ponytail all the way to the bottom? I may try this technique. Did her hair turn out straight except for the wave from the rubberbands? Thank you so much for the info!

Thanks for the reviews, sterry!

Sometimes I am so tempted to try something expensive, but I'm more interested in finding cheaper stuff that works well on my hair. That way I know I'll be able to buy more when I run out without having to take on a second job

Oh yes, that Glistening Creme works wonders. I think when I run out of Aussie Moist (really good stuff too) I'm gonna get some of the GC again. I tried it once long time ago when there was just the one original Frizz Ease line--I remember the conditioner was in a metal can (I'm glad they've changed it since then cuz it was a bear to hold on to in the shower

). Do you use the regular kind or the extra strength (in the purple bottle)?

You may want to start another thread on the airdrying technique you described for your daughter's hair. It's sounds like a really good one!
