Hit ~ Curls Curly Q's Coconut Dream Conditioner
Huge Miss ~ Naturalee Mango Vanilla hair butter and Coffe Twisting Cream...both sat on top of my hair, left it dry, and made my hair white

 

[Britt]

Just ok - CJ Cleansing conditioner
I used it as such and my hair didn't really feel any cleaner or more moisturized, just didn't feel right. I think I will try it as a regular conditioner and poo beforehand, i'll prob like it better that way.

[InBloom]

Hit (I've been sleeping on it) JOICO KPAK Reconstructor..wow

Style hit - flipping the bottom layer curl up rather than under on my shoulder length hair. That simple move has changed my look and the way my hair falls on my neck.

Miss
Giovanni Direct Leave in - Not really moisturizing

Hit
Hair one Tea Tree - It actually does clean.. will replace my shampoo for the most part

 

[tiffers]

Lita I really like it. It was a lot thinner than what I was expecting, kind of more the texture of a hair milk or something of that nature. Softened my dry hair on contact and it was soft and fluffy after rinsing the conditioner out. If BFH has another sale, I'll definitely buy more.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

MEGA HIT: LA Looks NutraCurl Gel! I spit on EcoStyler...mlah! This gel gave me curls all over the place, and no crunchy hair. It's thinner, so it spread easier, and holds really well. Any frizz I have is from hand in hair disease...

 

[Lita]

tiffers thanks..I will order when the next sell comes..

MrsJaiDiva Im going to try that La looks curly gel..

Im so happy. 1 year into my natural hair journey and ive already found what works for my hair. Im sticking to this, it will taking me to my goal. And luckily im one of the few that dont suffer from pj-ism lol so I can stick to this regimen.

Miss-
-Eco styler olive gel
-Giovanni leave in (giovanni anything really, nothing from them works on my head)
-Aubrey Organics Honesuckle rose ( smells obnoxious, expensive, and does nothing i cant even detangle with it)
-Queen helene and lekair cholesterol thing
-Wide tooth comb
-Finger detangling
-cocnut oil. My hair hates coconut oil, it feels so squeaky and drying. I can only use it with my pre poo.

Hits
-Qhemets biologic Brbc
-Taaliha waajid curly curl cream. I think thats how its spelled. I LURVE this thing. As soon as my BRBC finished i will not repurchase, i'll stick to this guy here. Its cheaper and gives me the same great moisture and definition.
-Aphogee 2 minute and 2 step. I always loved these guys.
- Nexxus Humectress . Pretty sure i spelled that wrong. This makes a perfect DC when i add a little castor oil.
-Shea moisture shea butter and the coconut shampoos. All i have to do is dilute these guys. 1 oz of shampoo to 7 oz of water and i have a sudsy shampoo. It also helps the bottle last longer.
- Ms. Chicoro's moisture drenched prepoo.
-Castor oil
-Box braids for long periods of time. Just took out some that i had for 4 months with great results. I have another set in now, plan to keep it for another 4 months.
-Denman brush. Must have for detangling. My hair is too dense and kinky to deal with fingers and wide tooth combs. The denman gets all up in there to get the shed hair out and doesnt cause me any breakage.

@Lita

I Agree. The ingredients are amazing and my hair is preforming very well with this product.

I could kick myself for not pulling it out sooner and putting it in Rotation (then I would have stocked up) SMH SMH SMH

She should really think about bringing this one back.

btw: I also really love: Afroveda's Moringa & Ginseng Detangler and It's Perfectly Natural's Turn Me Loose.

(these two are very similiar/close to Claudies Leave-In).

Smooth touch olive lotion ,it's rare i use stuff like this but i wanted to try it .it ended up in the trash after one use .My hair was dry ,crispy and gummed together ,yuck.


Hits: Ecostyler Argan i finally decided to buy this product after reading all the raves,it's a very good gel ,doesn't make hair hard and dosn't leave residue ,it's easy to rinse out and ot gives natural,polished look.

Syntonics detangling shampoo : Excellent ,doesn't strip at all and leaves hair soft .
Bee mine moisturizer its not a new hit but i lt worth mentioning ,i use it every other day .

Ojon repair oil: Nice little product comparable to moroccanoil but much less cones.
AlfaParf illuminating Conditioner :left my hair moisturized ,soft and incredibly shiny .

You talking about that Argan Oil mess? I tried it too. I didn't make a bit of difference with my hair. It didn't feel stronger or more moisturized. Nothing. I got the trial size. I won't be repurchasing.
