Hey divas

Pattern Beauty detangling nectar. Made my hair dry as straw. Yes it's slippery and it detangles. BUT. ..my hair doesn't feel good at all. Back it goes. I would rather use my credit on another bottle of Melanin leave-in

Hit: Joico Defy Damage Protective Masque: I have had this in my stash for quite some time and wow did it deliver. Why didnt I use this sooner?! No heat required and my hair felt awesome after 5 minutes. Too bad it only comes in a small container. I may only get 2 uses out of it.

Early Hit
Adwoa Beauty Blue Tansy Reparative Mask
Only used it once so far, aka today, and man it made my hair sooooo soft. And it glided through my hair like a dream making it easy to detangle. Excited to see if this stands true after another use.

Hit
Ion Hard Water Shampoo. I was surprised how gentle it is for a hard water shampoo. Hair felt clean and soft, not stripped. It's a keeper! It just may replace my beloved ORS aloe shampoo. I still love that one, but it's becoming harder to find in stores since ORS came out with their rice water shampoo.

Miss
Proclaim spray on glosser. Everytime I spray it on my hair, it looks dull which is the opposite effect I'm looking for, lol. So strange. Planning on exchanging it for something else.

The Doux Push it Braid and Edge gel

Okay. I have to take the, The doux Push it product off the miss it. My Braidout softened up. It didn’t feel gummy and there was definition today. It’s not an amazing hit because of the texture but it will do if I need a non watery product for hold in the winter.

BIG MISS
Being so lazy with my hair for so long that I definitely caused some damage when I finally got back to doing it

Huge Miss
Cantu Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream with Argan Oil
This stuff is terrible. My hair felt nice for the first hour or so but after that it felt like my hair wasn't moisturized at all.

 

[Napp]

Hit: Taliah Wajiid Moisture Bamboo & Coconut Milk Strengthening Leave-in Conditioner: long name but this works so well. my hair feels moisturized and soft for days plus it smells so good. This will replace scurl for me to moisturize my hair in braids.

Hits
The Doux Mousse Def and the BeeGirl Crazy Sexy Curl Setting Foam: these are excellent for wash-n-gos. Medium hold and great definition, and work well regardless of if I'm using a cream or gel for my style. Don't like them for twist-outs though - they seem to reduce the amount of hold/definition I get.
