My M-Day list might have some "different" things on it that I haven't bought in a while.

Like: N'joi and some others Naturelle Grow, Marie Dean:yep:

At least right now, that's my plan. :look:

But of course it will all boil down to the Discounts.:rolleyes:
 
Since people were talking about Shea Moisture up-thread and I recently made a Shea Moisture purchase from their kid's line I thought I would do mini reviews of everything I have tried from their hair line:

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo: It was pearlescent and golden in color with a creamy texture. Very cleansing yet equally gentle. It actually does have a lather. I can't stand the smell of it though and it is not as detangling as what I replaced it with, the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture Shine Shampoo. The CON Argan oil is also half the price of the Shea Moisture.

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner: It had a decent amount of slip, not great but decent. It was definitely moisturizing and set wet hair very well if used as a leave in. On the other hand it left a waxy residue once my hair air dried with it in. All in all it was a decent conditioner. Not great but good. The same scent as the rest of the shea butter line was in this also, so I was not a fan of that.

SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque: It was tacky, waxy, and hard to distribute through wet hair. I may repurchase to retry as a styling agent for braidouts/twistouts but only if I am clean out of all my other butters and I need a stop gap quick.

Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk: This was definitely good. Very moisturizing. I was not a fan of the scent in this either (think pina colada fake tropical scent) but it was subtler and didn't last long. This left my hair sheeny, elastic and well defined when used for braid outs. I also loved using this as a refresher. Also it is easy to get and economical to obtain. Two things though, when applied on dry hair I had to wait for it to absorb for a bit as it took a while to fully absorb into my hair, and it had glycerin in it so that well defined style I was talking about earlier would be gone once I left the house whenever it was humid.

Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie: It is creamy, thick, and lasts forever. It also has a good amount of slip and helps to retain moisture in my hair whenever I use it on wet hair. Here is why I don't have it in my stash and will probably never repurchase, when applied to wet hair my hair would take forever to dry and when applied to dry hair after the initial moisture and softness my hair would experience, there would be a stiff dry film left behind on my hair. The only time this was not the case was when I used it exclusively to either retwist or rebraid twist/braid sets. I never found myself turning to this product after a while. I do however wonder how it may work as a moisturizing deep conditioner. It may actually very well for that and I *may* repurchase it in the future in order to try it that way.

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Souffle: This was sticky wet and gummy. My hair is not a fan of gel and not a fan of flax seed gel in particular so my experience may not be typical.

Shea Moisture African Black Soap Purification Masque: I have extolled the virtues of this product in this thread before so I am not sure if anyone wants me to get back into it here. Suffice it to say it is my favorite product out of the Shea moisture line and I consider it one of my Holy Grail products.

I have yet to try anything from the Yucca line since I don't have fine hair, and I am only just starting to experiment with the Shea Moisture Kids line.

I have not purchased the black soap shampoo because I have heard it is stripping and while the rinse out conditioner from the African Black soap line seems interesting I wonder whether it would be a redundant inclusion in my stash since I already have and use the black soap masque so often ( I use is as a prepoo and detangler every wash session and in addition to this I use it as a co-wash mid week).

Hey :wave:! Thanks for that review on the As I Am Co Wash! Saved me a trip to the drugstore (especially seeing as I already have good co cleansers and didn't really need anymore :lol:)!

It's mediocre at best. (Compared to most of the other ones out there).

But granted, Please keep in mind, I tried it when the Line first Launched.:look:

IMO: The Cleansing Pudding was the Star of that entire Line.

And trust me, I had all of it (at one time).:drunk:
 
I got my Liquid Gold Butters. The java smells like coffee. The Marshmallow smells sooo freakin good, like buttercream/marshmallows. I will use it to seal my Oyin. It's already a staple. They are nice, whipped, and soft.
