^^^ I really enjoyed this post! :)lol: @ I'm looking at you, Oyin)


For reals, Oyin! I don't understand why their products are so heavily fragranced! It's inexplicible! I really want to try the Hair Dew but after nearly passing out and almost being banished to the couch by DH for using the Honey Hemp as a leave-in, I can't do it :nono:!

But much love to Oyin and the folk that love 'em!

Ok, I'm done!

If you couldn't take the somewhat fruity smell of the Honey Hemp, then the heavily sweet caramel aroma of the Hair Dew might have you reaching for the smelling salts.:lol: It worked SO WELL as a next day refresher, but I couldn't get past that smell.

Hits:

Nuance Intense Hydration Mask
Nuance Smooth & Shine Conditioner

Misses:

Original Moxie Hair Bling High Shine Pomade

This stuff is too light and feels more like I'm using plain oil than a pomade. It doesn't do a thing for sealing in moisture.

Oyin Hair Dew

I don't know why, but this stuff isn't moisturizing my hair anymore. It leave my hair very dry now.

Alaffia Shea & Virgin Coconut Hair Lotion

This stopped working for me also, left my hair dry.

Another hit...with a story lol

So as previously stated I'm trying to use up my stash. So I started massaging my scalp with oils and cowashing every other day. But when I airdried, my hair would bush up. So one day I cowashed, rinsed, applied my leave in, then gently brushed the hair straight back. And just cuz I'm trying to use it up, I sealed with CHI Silk Infusion. No bushiness!!!! I'm doing this until I run out of the CHI. I figured since its main ingredient is a cone, it would be good at locking in moisture. I have also increased my shampoo from twice a month to once a week to combat the cones. My hair is sooo soft and my ends are actually staying attached lol

Continued hits:
Coconut oil as an overnight prepoo: this works wonders. split ends down, breakage down, retention up!

New hit:
Bear Fruit Hair Desert Moisturizer Leave-In: when i put this on my hair and gently run a comb through it, the comb went through easier than KCKT!

New MEGA hit:
detangling my hair before shampooing. The coconut oil makes the hair so soft and the comb glides through like butter. :yep:

Misses:
Well, not so much of a miss, but now that I detangle before shampooing, I have no need of Kinky curly knot today anymore. Too bad I have two bottles of it :nono:

MISS: Lush Curly Wurly shampoo

Talk about bits of coconut oil in my hair! I thought it would melt...it didn't, must be something else in those bits.

Qhemets AOHC and MTCG- layering these two gave me perfect results A+

Miss:
Botticelli Botanicals Brulee (2nd jar)- the scent is awesome, but I noticed off top the ingredients in the 2nd jar were totally different from first jar. I didn't think this would be an issue but it was. Let me tell you my hair felt like straw, and since I put it on the length of my hair some of my ends were stuck together:nono:. I am really disappointed in this jar, and it almost lets me know that she has consistency issues with some of her batches and I say this because with my first order she told me that I didn't have to tell her what additives I wanted because she just adds the scent to it. If that's the case then the ingredients in the 2nd jar should have been the same as the first jar.. So I'm definitely side-eyein them right now fa that.

Using CJ Smoothing Lotion and QHHB. Nice and moisturized twists for days.

Mixing sulfur oil mix and Megatek togther. Cuts down on the smell tremendously.

Miss:
Even with the discount getting Qhemet during today's sale would be more expensive than getting it at the health food store it's sold at. Somehow I thought there would be a difference.

Big HIT:
Brown Butter Beauty Babassu Butter Love DC (say that three times fast!)
-- Texture is like vanilla pudding. Applies and spreads easily on wet hair. Let it sit in my hair w/plastic cap for ~1 hr. Hair was super soft and easy to detangle. My hair was sooo soft after rinsing it out, I was amazed.

Hits:
Silk Dreams Whip My Hair (cleansing creme) and Vanilla Silk DC
Donna Marie Super Buttercreme -- happily surprised that the strong fragrance does not linger
Applying conditioner in sections
