Is the manuka DC better than the Hi po one?I'm scratching everything I posted before.
Some of it I obtained since posting, such as the Conair Wave clips and the EarthTones Naturals gelly. I have decided for 2018 to focus on personalizing a CurlyProverbz-inspired (ayurvedic) hair regimen, so my desire for other products is dissipating. I ordered a sample of the Amika RX DC that Naptural85 super DUPER raved about. I've been wondering about it for years!
So this is all that is currently on my hair products wish list at the moment (I know this is subject to change):
- Pibbs hair dryer
- Rhassoul clay
- Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Smoothing Lotion (reup; best shower detangling conditioner EVER! Will be the base of my CurlyProverbz DIY Henna Gloss)
- Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil Masque ( I'm pretty sure I'm going to give them coins for this )
- HairPrint Chelating Shampoo (reup)
- Lavender oil
- Helichrysum oil
- Fractionated coconut oil (reup)

Does it perform better than CRN coconut water and Mielle DC?I never really used the hipo one to DC (maybe a few times of which I don't recall the experience), but only as a prepoo.
The Manuka one is the best DC I've ever used. I improved my DC technique since first using it, and when I tried it again with that technique and rinsed with cold water . . .
And the results/effects are the same EVERY time. It wasn't a one-time deal or about the product combination of that day.

Since my hair wasn't impressed a lot with Mielle and CRN, I may try this Shea Moisture one out. Many thanks!Has less slip than the Mielle Organics DC, but otherwise blows it out of the water on my hair.
And, if in my hair CRN coconut water is an 8.5 on a scale from 1 to 10, SM Manuka on my hair is a 9.5.
It contains protein but on my hair only feels like a moisturizing DC.
Smells yummy (sweet) though a smidgen strong. It fades yet lingers. DH adores it.

I'll make sure to do that except that I can't return my products because I'm not in the United States unfortunately. Do you still prefer to apply your DC on Dry hair that has old product on?If you do, rinse cold. Try both with and without heat (I almost always use heat). If it's not impressive, return it to Target or WalMart or Sally's.

Perfect! I also prefer to oil rinse before I cowash. The oil rinse functions like a pre-poo but I oil rinse on water-rinsed hair. So it fits in my regimen to apply the DC after I cowash.My first DC application, yes. I do a DC-wash-DC method. The first DCing functions as my prepoo. The second DCing functions as my DC, is post wash on as dry as possible but clean hair, and that is when I use the SM Manuka Masque.
I have 4 big plants of this growing in my yard. Have to figure out some great hair recipes using it though.A fresh aloe vera leaf
You are so lucky!!!I have 4 big plants of this growing in my yard. Have to figure out some great hair recipes using it though.
I want KCC shampoo, their leave-in and their hair gel.
I also want to try out hydratherma naturals. Has anyone tried this line before? If so, how was it?

My list may change closer to black Friday so will update if it does.Got everything so far except the triphala powder and hops. I don't think I will be needing those two anymore. I did add some moringa powder and got that one already.
Now I only need:
Rose Water
Curry leaves powder
Naturelle Grow Vanilla Fig Moisturizing Conditionernot getting this anymore
Naturelle Grow Pink Clay Masknot getting this anymore.
APB Keratin Conditioner
APB Not Easily Broken Conditioner
SSI Coriander Fig Balm
SSI Peach Conditioner- don't really need this one right now.
SSI Marula Hemp leave in
3 bottles of Vo5 Moisture conditioners for cowashing out my ayurveda treatments.
Not sure I'll be getting any Naturelle Grow anymore. May replace it with Kindred Butters instead.
I totally forgot about Mielle Organics Babassu Mint DC as well - want 2 jars depending on the sale.
@Nightingale, thanks soooooo much for the rhassoul clay!
I visited Henna Sooq's website for the first time the other day.
Let me re-evaluate.
You're welcome. Coincidentally, I was on Henna Sooq's site last night. I want to buy their henna, but will wait to see if they have a Black Friday sale.
What were you interested in?
I want the entire professional size kitOlaplex n°2, the 2L bottle
Cocoveda Shampoo Bar
Soapnut Shampoo Bar
Sweet Honey Enriching Hair Nourisher
Organic Zizyphus Spina Christi (Sedr)
I’ve used this before. My curls were pawpin’!!!!!
I did a treatment, just ziziphus mixed with water. A few weeks prior to doing it I had done my first full strength henna and my curls were loosened. At the time I didn’t know that the loosening was not permanent and I panicked. While doing research on how to “get my curls back”, I found Ziziphus. I did a treatment with the ziziphus alone. It was very hard to remove, but I loved it. My hair was dry, but not overly dry like hardcore henna. I loved it. I honestly forgot about it. I also remember doing Amla and ziziphus together, I do not remember how that one went, but I’m sure it was good as well.Oooooo! How did you use it? As a cleanser? As a treatment? As a hybrid cleansing treatment?
What was your method and recipe? Was it hard to remove? Thanks in advance for any insight you might have to share!
