I hear you, 72792. I'm a mineral oil/petrolatum type of person.
Biotion also did not make my hair grow any faster.
Question. What do the following stand for?
HE
LUST
EVOO

karonica,
HE= herbal essence
LUST= loreal unfrizz smoothing treatment
EVOO= extra virgin olive oil

Stretching out relaxers - My hair broke off (but luckily not too badly). I can't go past 6-7 weeks
Elucence shampoos and conditioners - Nothing special about them with my hair
The wet/wavy look - Forget about that
Putting nothing on my scalp - Big no -no for my hair. It must have moisture.

Lye relaxers - My hair just doesn't like them. They never really straighten my hair (even super strength) No-lye is for me.
LUST - Didn't really soften or smooth my hair.
No mineral oil - My hair looks frizzy without some kind of product that has mineral oil in it.
Coconut/Jojoba/carrot oils - Too oily, too messy and they never leave my hair feeling soft and moisturized.

Re: Board Recommendations that didn\'t work for you
<ul type="square"> [*]Pantene Smooth & Sleek - made my hair tangled, hard, rough
[*]S-Curl No Drip Activator - always starts out great but then fizzles.
Winds up drying out my hair eventually - same with Care Free Curl Gold Activator. I think my hair dislikes glycerin.
[*]ORS Carrot Oil Creme mixed with WGO or any other oil.
[*]Nexxus Ensure Acidifying Conditioner/Detangler - my hair hates Nexxus anything, although this one worked better for me with castor oil mixed into it when I wanted to use it up.
[*]Proclaim Activator Gel - broke out my scalp (yuck) [/list]

I agree with the all the above. I'm sighing with relief. I thought I was the only one on the board.

Ooh yes I forgot about those hot oil treatments , I *must* be doing something wrong.
And someone asked about the drawstring pony tail... now maybe I bought the wrong kind but it didnt stay on right and to get it to stay on right I had to go through too much trouble and I was worried about if falling off...it just didnt seem secure. But maybe it was the way I put it on...I may give that another try, although I am not crazy about weave.

Elasta QP H-Two: Didn't detangle anything
This is all for now. But I don't blame anyone in here. My hair is just different.

Revlon Creme of Nature Shampoo - no glorious slip as experienced by so many others
[/ QUOTE ]
Which formula did you use? Some of them do have sulfates and/or other harsh detergents. I know the extra body formula has sulfates. IIRC, the moisturizing and the regular formulas are the ones that are sulfate free.

I agree this was a great thread! I thought I was one of a few who didn't dig LUST and Smooth n Sleek. I guess there are more people than I thought <giggles> maybe we just aren't as vocal.

I definitely think you are right about that, Tebby! It seems like a lot of the LUST and Smooth n Sleek users are type 3 people.

Well, I guess everyone's hair is just not going to agree with the same hair care products. In the famous words of Supergirl ' Has everyone clarified lately?'

I couldn't help but laugh a little when I read this. It is so true!

Re: Board Recommendations that didn\'t work for you
My hair did not respond well to the curl activator. WGO made my hair clump together. After a while Elucence didn't work wonders either. CON wasn't good for me either. And wrapping my hair didn't work either. Lol...and I forgot the conditioner only washes didn't work for me either.
