Kindred Butters Green Tea & Babassu DC
I used the version that had the exact same ingredients as NurCreation's avocado and green tea DC.
This one was a very whipped, frothy DC whilst NC's is more of a wet mud like consistency. That is the only difference between the two. I used them side by side to get a good gauge and they both performed the same. Both went on smooth and absorbed nicely. Both had decent slip to detangle if that's your thing ( I don't detangle with DC's) and both left my hair very well moisturized and shiny upon rinsing. This will be replacing NC's version since her shipping is ridiculous. I'm hoping the agave and protein version performs the same.

The Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian Anti Breakage & Repair Antidote Oil
Nice mid weight oil that absorbed nicely without leaving my hair feeling coated or greasy. This is a keeper.

The Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian 24Karat Glistening Twisting Gel
Both my daughter and I tried this in different ways. My daughter used it for a wash n go and I used it for a braid out. DD didn't use any LI, just this product and a bit of the oil from the same collection. She reported that her application was smooth and that the product gave her nice " hang time". Her hair is still damp but she feels as though this may not be as moisturizing as she hoped but will report back once her hair is fully dried.

I used this on top of my regular M&S routine. I used shake n go as my liquid LI, oyin's hair dew as my creamy and heavy sealed with HH sprout. I detangled and added about a nickel size amount to each braid I made. This did turn white initially when I added it to my hair but it seems to be dissipating as my hair dries. I also got some elongation of my curls when I added this to my hair which is rare for me as my hair shrinks no matter what I put in it. We are both experiencing some "drippies" even though we both applied this to damp hair and not soaking wet hair so it seems this product turns into a watery solution after application.

I'll report back when our hair is fully dried.
 
Laaaaadies! Miss you girls! I've been MIA, but since I'm done with school and with the school year I can be more active. My stash has dwindled down to literally almost nothing since wearing these wigs, but I got a Mother's Day order from APB and got a lot of nice goodies.

I'm feeling the Silky Soft Serum because it's a castor based oil that smells amazing. Love the Creamy Oil as well. That Ultra Hydrating Souffle stuff though...wow I love how it goes on and it packs a powerful moisture punch too! She has a bunch of new scents that I'm feeling...Pink Vanilla Kiss, Geisha Girl, and Morrocan Argon... :lick:

One thing that I am loving a lot right now is an old fav: Qhemet BRBC. So soft and moisturizing and keeps my hair moisturized for days. Love that stuff. A new one (to me) is the CTDG. It's really softening for my 4b and dd's 4c hair. Love it.
 
Ok divas so for Bella's wash and go she got really nice definition but doubts it will last her usual 3 days since the hold is light. She also recommended using a light LI as her hair isn't as moisturized as she'd like. It greatly reduced frizz and slightly reduced shrinkage so she'll be using it under her HG gel eco styler.

My braid out turned out really good. I got the same results I would have had I done my two step routine which is to allow my hair to dry stretched first then go back and add a styler. For that reason it is a keeper for me as well. My hair also has a lovely shine to it and minimal frizz. The hold is light but I think I'll get second day hair.

Off to church so I'll chat with y'all later.
