What worked wonders for others but did nothing for you?

There is almost nothing sadder than readnig rave reviews about a product and then trying it yourself only to realize that it is just not for you.

When have you had this experience?

For me, it was ORS Replenishing Pak. I wanted to love this stuff. Unfortunately, even though it made my hair feel like butta, I couldn't use it because it made me itch.

Also, BT didn't do anythign for me . . . I wish it did, though. I still have my container sitting right on my bathroom counter because I know sooner or later new testimonies will start popping up and I'll be itching to give it another try.

What about you?
 
Boundless Tresses- Didnt see increased growth
Salerm 21- My hair felt really thick after i blow dryed it. Maybe its because it should only be used with rollersets.
 
Airdrying---did absolutly nothing for me.

Coconut oil & Vatika oil---made my hair hard.

EVOO---just sat on my hair, and ran down my scalp on to my neck and down my forehead.

Cheapy Conditioners---don't penatrate my strands, therefore they do nothing for me.
 
10 in 1- i really wanted it to work but it never game me enough slip my hair was hard to detangle after using it total bummer
 
Vatika Oil- I'm still trying to make this work but honestly I don't think it will pass the grade.

Baggying- Did it once and I will never do it again.
 
Shikakai Shampoo Bar
Aritha Shampoo Bar
Anita Grants' Babbasu Shampoo Bar
Coconut oil- just sits on my hair.
Roller- setting (cause I'm:drunk: spastic)
I do love coconut oil when its in other products
 
-ACV! breakage and dryness city. Did nothing for flakes
-too many products to name
-bantu knots. man i love em but I had to cut back on how much I did this style cuz of breakage.
-stretching fiftyeleven years. breakage city
-honey added to conditioners. Just awful. Yes, I warmed it up first.
-mango butter was like 2 applications away from causing me a setback.
-taking fifyeleven vitamins (don't need em)
-ingesting coconut oil. I didn't lose weight but my skin looked great
-my hair laughs at EVOO

I will be back with more

NTM :sad: just didn't give me that moisture factor as a leave-in like it did for others

Lacio Lacio: I wanted to love this stuff like so many others do, but it just didn't do anything for me:nono:

Una (La) Bomba Conditioner & Rinse:nono: That stuff made my hair as dry as a wild fire out in california

Keracare Hydrating Detangling Poo: there was nothing hydrating or detangling about that stuff for me. If anything, it made my hair dry and coarse

Noodlehead - I had no curl definition afterwards

Aloe Vera Gel - my hair was stiff as a board

Natural Glycerine - a nightmare

CON Shampoo - another nightmare
 
Miss Keys 10en1, Sarlem 21, BB growth stretch creme, oil rinse, coconut oil, lacio lacio.
 
Henna- hair was hard and dry, regardless of oils added to the mix

BT- scalp broke out in hives

Conditioner washing more than every other time I shampoo- hair is too moisturized, almost mushy

Baggying- ends are a damp mess

All Garnier shampoos and conditioners- Hair is dry, scalp feels stripped.
 
Dabur Amla oil(purple)-migraine inducing, just like glorified baby oil on hair
Baggying- too moist, breakage waiting to happen, luckily I stopped

hello hydration= goodbye hydration for me:ohwell:

NTM: leave in, and both conditioners hard, dry tangles in clumps:nono:

Cantu Products=hard and dry hair

Capilo Sole and Cinnamon DC:-does nothing for my strands

Sedal leave in (ceramidas)-hard hair

Pantene relaxed and natural (although I am going to try the breakage defense mask as a prepoo on dry hair)

acv rinse: just:nono:

CON: I just hate it!

Really? I been wanting to try it!
 
ORS pack- smell was too strong and made my throat itch and it didn't do anything special for my hair

Elasta QP Mango Butter- whatever:ohwell:!

There are others but those 2 stand out the most.

Henna didn't go well the first time, but Ima give it one more chance.
