HIT:
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner - I didn't care for it as a conditioner, not a lot of slip/softness, but as a leave-in conditioner, it is AMAZING. It feels like a salon quality product. I'm not saying I like it better than the leave-in I was using beforehand-- but it made my hair feel like I came out of a salon. I also like the smell. Reminds me of Carol's Daughter Coco Mango Lotion.
Still on the fence:
ApHogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer - I need to use as directed before making a decision. Will use alone tonight and post review. I used it on a braidout and of course it left my hair dry.

Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair - left my hair super smooth and soft
Continued Hit
Tension blow drying with cold air - really making managing 23 weeks of NG bearable
Miss
How long it takes me to tension blow dry - I really need to do better and get faster; 2 hours for 8 sections of hair is unacceptable :hardslap:

Hit: Using Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner as a leave-in/styler.
Results: super defined, curly-coily twist-outs, moisturized hair, and easy detangling. I also like that I can find it in local stores and a little goes a long way so one bottle will last me 1-2 months when used as a leave-in/ styler.
Plus, as a fine-haired natural, the protein in it adds some strunff to my fragile strands.
I'm over here retainin' like a mug,

I liked the satin roots a lot the first 3/4ths of my transition, but then I needed something a bit more substantial. I was looking at their newer gel that's glycerin free (I think it's called curl factor?). I may give it a try this summer

Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk. Left my hair fluffy and soft after washing it out, and the best part is that I didn't really have to use heat.

Continued Mega Hits:
APB Leave Ins, Creams, and Puddings
Nothing else...NOTHING else has touched my hair ALL MONTH LONG but this line. That is HUGE for me!
Oh and I would just like to add that after selling the majority of my stylers/moisturizers and replacing them with these, nothing else in that category will touch my head but this line. My hair is just too moisturized to risk it.

I would have to co-sign on EnExitStageLeft 's hit…Hair Infinity was a MAJOR hit for me this month. My hair grew AND RETAINED about an inch-and-a-half of growth….that doesn't just "happen" for me.

Hits
Shea Moisture Tahitian Moni and Monois Smooth and Repair Line
The products work well individually as well as in a system. Blow drying and flat ironing was easier and faster. I do think the rinse out conditioner is the stand out product from the line
Redken Shades EQ color gloss
I tried the onyx with the violet kicker. Hair was all black (no hint of purple anywhere) and no dryness or breakage
Renewing my LHCF subscriptions
Misses
Ion Color Solutions Healing Leave-In Treatment
Doesn't do anything for my hair except leave a white residue
On the Fence
My current rollersetting technique
I think I used too much oil and should have used a gel for more hold.

ORS Nourishing Conditioner - I was scared when they bottled it bit it's just as good but now more economical for me!
Aunt Jackie's curling custard (as a moisturiser) and whatever the blue jar is called as a cowash - love love love
Almond oil - light oil but don't have to worry about melting like coconut
Frequent detangling

I really like the ApHogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer! After my hair dried, it was a little hard, like using setting lotion. I added a touch of Silk Dreams PRE to my hair and it looked (and felt) fantastic!
