[divachyk]

Mane and Tail Deep Moisturizing Conditioner for a C/W -- yikes, hair felt like a horse -- like straw.

 

[lushlady]

Hit-Not wearing my hair down for months. I had it straightened recently and it was thick through the ends.
Miss- The decorative bobby pins I bought from Sally's. The coating chipped off after my second use.
Miss-Wearing my hair down "just this one time". I could hear it snagging on my shirt I put it right back up.

Hits:

Eco Styler gel, krystal clear.

First off, let me say I am not a gel person. But I LOVE this gel. It gives such a soft hold. And its soooo moisturizing! I've actually been using it as a moisturizer along with my S-curl for the last few days.

Suave Color Care conditioner:

Excellent for co-washing out henna. I don't normally co-wash because it leaves my hair feeling coated but this condish is the bomb. Leaves my hair nice and soft with no build up feeling. I love it as a leave-in too. I'm going to try the Humectant next.

Continued hits:

Ceramide oils
Henna


No misses recently, the last 2 months have been good.

 

[lovelexi]

Bee Mine Cream Balancing Moisturizer (I know that name is not perfectly correct but you guys know what I'm talking about.)

 

[Shay72]

Lovelexi is it a hit or a miss?

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Hit -

Gleau Oil - Not heavy at all, my hair feels AMAZING (soft, moisturized, strong) after I use it, either on wet or dry hair. Shine is ridiculous. My new HG oil. Ingredients are outstanding.

NTM Conditioning Mask for wash n go's - This was the only condish I had in the shower randomly last week, so I used it for a wash n go (sealed w/ the Gleau oil). Curls bounced, popped, locked and dropped it. I'm in lurve.

Biolage Cera-Repair Treatments - I recently texlaxed using Phyto I, and my hair was dry, breaking. I was so distraught because I had gone from natural to relaxed and felt like, dayum, did I just make a huge mistake?!?! But I stalked Taz ( ) and realized that I needed moisture and ceramides in my life. So I ordered this stuff. I swear to Moses, the second it touched my hair, my hair felt so extra strong, but so soft. It changed everything. Def getting added into the weekly rotation.

ACV rinses - Because I used a no-lye relaxer, I've been reading that I need to chelate more. I'm kinda iffy on chelating every week, so I decided to chelate every other week and alternate that with ACV rinses. So far, so good.

Simply Love-Leigh Whipped Hair Butter - (http://www.simplylove-leigh.webs.com/) This stuff has crack in it, melts into my hair. I normally hate hair butters, but this one is so amazingly lovely. I use it on my ashy knees, too.

FHI Platform Flatirons - So in love with this, glad I bought them.

[kellistarr]

HIT~ Proclaim Argan Intensive Moisturizing Conditioner- My hair adored it!

Hit~ Creme Of Nature Nourishing Conditioner (Chamomile & Comfrey) - One of the best leave-in's! My hair and hands felt no residue!

HIT~ Motions CPR Hair Lotion- Good shine, Good Moisturizer, Good value, you only need a little and Good price, on sale $2.69

Miss~ Lacio Lacio concentrated silk protein leave-in- too watery and too pricey for 7 oz.

 

[PinkPebbles]

Hit:
Wheat Germ Conditioner - great Dominican conditioner that strengthens the hair and adds a natural shine.

 

[Aggie]

I was eyeing this conditioner and had it in my wishlist cart for a long while PinkPebbles. I think it was Terri who first told me about it. Thanks for the review.

I'm not a gel person either, but I was trying to find one that doesn't leave flakes or leave my hair dry. I'll have to give this a try.
