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

ORS pack- smell was too strong and made my throat itch and it didn't do anything special for my hair

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.
