Hits & Misses April 2014

[IronButterfly]

HITS
HH customer service! When my package arrived...the envelope was empty!erplexed There was a big ol' hole in it. The mail carrier didn't find the bottle in her truck either.
HH contacted me almost immediately after I sent her an email. Then she called. Next week she sent me out a replacement bottle plus a bottle of her cupcake lotion and a jar of the new banana dc.
This time she double-enveloped it!

CONTINUED HITS
HH Liquid Gold -- Best smelling cupcake/batter cake/whatever cake ever! And the moisture is sublime.
HH Pink Mimosa and CM
HH Lemongrass Panna Cotta
MISS
APB scents. They are hit or miss with me. Pear Apple, Birthday Cake and Hibiscus are the only ones that I can stand. This Iced Carrot Cake is repugnant and permeates the air around my head. Strange, though, because it smells fine in my hand. Too bad since I find the hair crèmes very moisturizing.

I need you to order that new Curls Blueberry Control Paste and let me know if it smells offensive. I love smell of the original, but the new one has new ingredients.

Hit:
Using Ors products on my natural hair, I'm really liking a lot of the products from their line. Which is rare for me usually I only like one or two products. I like the creamy aloe shampoo, ors replenishing conditioner, and both ors lotions. It's funny because I didn't pay these products much attention when I was relaxed, I just used them once and left them alone. I plan on trying the uplift shampoo and the olive oil repair masque.

 

[chebaby]

Avocado butter

@chebaby, you changed my life with this butter

im so happy to hear that. i forgot all about sending you that butter

Hit and a Miss:

Jason Vitamin E oil, major hit for my skin and a major miss for my hair. My skin is soft and supple, my hair dried out to a whole nother level. I will not repurchase this ever again once I am done.

 

[emada]

^^^ Interesting! I like it on my skin but I just found it a bit 'light' for my hair, haven't noticed dryness.

Sorry to hear that Lissa0821 about the Jason oil.
I haven't tried it on my skin but my scalp and NG loved it! When I rinsed it out after pre-pooing overnight with it, my NG was super soft. Similar to emada, I thought it was "light" which is ok with me but I haven't experienced any ill effects from it.

NaturallyATLPCH are you low, normal or high porosity by chance?

Jace032000, I am low porosity.

Revisited Hit:
HH Jar of Joe -- no backups so I gonna make this goodness last

 

[Jace032000]

Jace032000, I am low porosity.

I need something that will OPEN my strands up so that my hair can soak in all of APB's goodness. (I've tried ACV…). Her hair butters just sit on top of my hair… even after shampooing…not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Well I've just tried her hair creams. ACV is a cuticle closer. So if you apply them after that, it will sit there. Cuticle closers are acidic, like ACV and AVJ, which are lower in PH.

Jace032000, Do you mist or apply a liquid right before? I know if I apply a butter or anything that is not water based to my hair, it just sits on there too. Water based things are the only things that sort of soak into my strands. Water is also more alkaline than your hair so it will open up your cuticles slightly (it's a ph of 7 and your hair is about a 6). Anything greater than 6, even though 7 is neutral, is leaning more towards the alkaline side (14) which will open your cuticles.

Hits: Using up my products and not buying anything new since I have my permanent, Holy Grail of hair care products.

I have too many products, so I don't need anything else.

The great recession is making me think twice about buying anything.

 

[prettyinpurple]

I'm feeling meh about the BASK Yam DC. I wish it had more slip. I'm not noticing any spectacular moisturizing qualities. I plan to use it exclusively for the next several washes, will use it up and see how I feel about it. Still prefer my beloved babassu dc from brown butter beauty.

I won't repurchase that BASK DC.

@prettyinpurple

WOW!

I'm about to use YAM for the 1st time in a few minutes under my Steamer.

Nice Review though.

If you decide not to replace Jar of Joe....

Liquid Gold's Whipped Java Bean is a nice replacement. 15% LHCF Code too.

My skin loves it but its best on my scalp/newgrowth mixed with jbco!

 

[Babygrowth]

Major hit: Mizani Butter Blends relaxer in mild! I will never use another relaxer

Millcreek Keratin Conditioner as a mid protein step- I almost didn't neutralize because this made my hair feel extra good! I will continue to use it for that purpose.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Babygrowth

Good for you! What were you 40+ weeks Post?

 

[prettyinpurple]

@prettyinpurple

WOW!

Nice Review though.

Thanks!

I will say that it does emulsify nicely once it hits your wet hair. I rubbed it between my hands before applying to my hair too. Also follow the directions and apply it in sections. That is a good tip to follow.
