what just does not work for you but is raved about on this board?

[Bmm]

I am just curious about all the things that are advised on this board but just does not work for you.

I know for me I can't over do moisture...but then again I can't over do protien.

I def, cant co wash every day either. nor do I want to

I can't not trim. I know that I dont have to trim every time I relax...but I cant wait months to trim.

That's the exact thing for me too!

[Candycane044]

I have a problem with doing protective styles especially if they're not braids.. i just don't like pulling my hair back.. it makes my face look HUGE hehe.

 

[Plenty]

aphogee treatment took my hair right out!

biolage ultra hydrating conditioner

10 en 1 super conditioner

Kenra poo & cond- extremely mediocore

condition washes

pre-poo

streching relaxer more than 8-10 wks

 

[asubeauty]

Protective styles made my head hurt, and conditioner washes don't work well for me. I also can't stretch my relaxers past eight weeks or go for months without a trim.

 

[nurseN98]

Coconut milk to soften didn't work..horrible
NTM...awful
Detangling when hair is soaking wet or while in the shower....terrible
Surge...didn't grow anything like it said it would

there's others, I just can't remember them all right now

 

[auntybe]

Infusium
Glover's

 

[melodee]

1.Baggy method. I get breakage.

2.Phyto Defrissant- did nothing but give me flakes ( no straightening whatsoever for me or my curly haired daughter)

3. Suave or VO5 Condish- unless it's the Suave Humectant

4. Surge- gave me a big ol' burn/scab

 

[secretdiamond]

-not trimming for extra long periods like a year or something--- I just can't do that
-surge for growth--- didn't work at all for my edges, but I try to make other uses out of it

 

[ClassicChic]

Thumbs down for Surge, conditioner washes, cocunut milk. There is more and I will edit later.

Those Dominican Conditioners just don’t do it for me. I tried 10 en 1, the sole cinnamon one and the Emergencia one. They just don’t give me the softness I look for.

Also, my hair does not like Nexxus products. I tried the Humectress and the Keratese – still – hard hair.

Also, I have SO MUCH trouble using the MTG. I tried it once or twice, but just makes me feel nasty and oily.

Also, all the vitamins – I just can’t do it. I tried that, too. Now I am down to my once daily multi-vitamin and my once daily Biosil capsule.

Low maintenance with fewer products is working much better for me anyway. I am down to 2 or 3 products that I use on my hair and it is loving me for it.

 

[miracle]

Conditioner Washes, NTM Products, Not Trimming, Kenra, Suave & V05 Conditioners.

 

[lav123]

Stretching relaxers - lot of breakage
Creme of Nature
Olive Oil - tangled hair

 

[HoneyDew]

Guys, I agree about those conditioner washes - no good!!

 

[zoj2]

Surge and I bought Humectress Therappe and Emergencee (Aphogee is much better IMO) two months ago, all three were nothing to rave about.

 

[NYRICAN1]

Guys, I agree about those conditioner washes - no good!!

what kind of negative effects do you guys experience with conditioner washes?

 

[CurliDiva]

The conditioner washes did not work for me either!

I now just dilute my shampoo.

 

[carameldiva]

olive oil- did not work for me at all-it just sat there on top of my hair

 

[sweetpeadst]

I have a problem with doing protective styles especially if they're not braids.. i just don't like pulling my hair back.. it makes my face look HUGE hehe.

Me too!! I think my head is to big!

 

[Candycane044]

sweetpea hush it you are a gorgeous girl, but I do understand.. i really think i look a mess in buns regardeless of what others say.

 

[WesternEyes]

V05, it feels like i'm not even putting conditioner in my hair. I tried to like it because of the wonderful scent and extra cheap prices, but alas, my hair told me to stop.

 

[HoneyDew]

what kind of negative effects do you guys experience with conditioner washes?

For me, it may be that I have not found a conditioner that will give me a better effect than my CON Ultra moisturizing. My hair always feels hair and tangles with every conditioner I've tried. The closest I have come to finding something good are the Lustrasilk ones in the tubs. But, even still I like the suds of my CON, so I still follow it up with that. The CON Ultra Moisturizing is like a conditioner anyway, so in thery I guess I AM doing a co-wash, if you think about it like that. But, otherwise, they all give me tangles.
