Miss: OGX macadamia conditioner and OGX argan oil conditioner. I did like the macadmaia a bit more than the argan oil one because it was less thick and had more slip but they are both still misses. After using them both for a few weeks I was not satisfied with the way they made my hair feel.
Miss: CON Argan oil 7 in 1 leave in- not a good fit for my hair
Miss: CON argan oil conditioner
Hit: ogx hydrating coconut oil spray mist- adds great shine, smells good, great for taking down twists and separating them. fine mist doesn't add too much product at once. love this stuff.

Hit: Redken Color Magnetics Shampoo. I'm glad I tried this sample. It's sulfate free. Lathers really nice. Kinda reminds me of Elucence Moisture Benefits. Only negative... I'd never buy it full price. $18. But there was a sale and I had a coupon and Ulta points.
On the fence: Jakeala Honey mask. I've never been lightweight scared to use a product lol. It's the consistency of syrup. It's kinda sticky. After applying, by looks, you can't tell anything is in your hair like you would a creamy conditioner. BUT it rinsed just fine, no sticky residue, and no ill effects on my hair at all. I wasn't wow'ed or anything though. I'll give it a couple more uses.

IDareT'sHair. Haven't gotten around to trying that yet. She does say in the product description that it has a syrupy consistency so I wasn't shocked but kinda like Lord please don't let me end up with sticky hair lol. The ingredients are great though. The first two are honey and Rhassoul clay.

b.a.s.k. YAM is super syrupy/sticky Honey-like too.
But upon emulsifying with water it turns into a creamy froth.
My Tutti Honey (Jakeala) should arrive today. If it is like b.a.s.k. YAM I will use it to mix with something.
Tutti Honey also said it could be used as a Cleansing Conditioner (which is why I actually purchased it in the first place).
So, either way....we'll see.

Please report back when you use it. I'd be curious if it can used that way.
Misses:
- Browsing a vendor's website and not seeing any ingredient listings for the products advertised
- After emailing the vendor for specificity, being given ingredient lists that include the terms "special blend of organic butters" and "special essential oil blend"
WTH? Am I being punked?

It's a vendor from the monthly sale thread. My conscience tells me I should place a brief warning under her sale advertisement.

I hate when they are shady like that. Asides from that, it seems like her shipping takes awfully long. I'd love to find another vendor with oils and butters with the variety of scents she has

Continued Hit: Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shampoo. Always clean, non-stripped, soft hair. 
Neutral: Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil masque. This was just ok. Soft hair, but it wasn't super juicy like my HGS give me. I'd get it in a pinch since it's on the ground.

Hit- OGX (formerly Organix) Moroccan Argan Creme Conditioner and the Keratin Oil Conditioner.
Miss- SM Moisture Retention Shampoo. I've been using this stuff for a couple of years and they completely ruined it with this new formula. It's too mild, barely suds and feels watered down. Off to find a replacement...

Miss: Trying be the thrifty on eBay. The listing said 100% Silk. However, this is what I received
If you can't read the tag in the photo, it says "100% Silk Feeling Polyester"
I have requested a refund. This is a misrepresentation. In addition, they didn't include one of the items I ordered.
