September Hits and Misses!!!

[kitchen_tician]

I know it's only the middle of the month, but for those who have discovered your hits and misses, let's name them.

Okay, I'll start....

HITS:
*Kera Care 1st Lather Poo: It worked well for getting rid of build up and it wasn't too drying. I followed it with Kera Care Hydrating/Detangling Poo

*Loreal Feria Color Moisturizing Treatment: I'm in Love, So in Love with you!!! This stuff is absolutely great! I will be buying more of this, because I only bought the sample packet.

*Nexxus Emergencee: I'm not sure if I was supposed to expect something or not. I wasn't experiencing any breakage so I didn't notice any immediate effects, but it's still a keeper.

*Nexxus Viatress Biotin Creme: I love how my scalp tingles. I'm not sure about growth increase, but the tingle is good enough for me.

*African Royal Mink Oil Gel: It's also a keeper. It worked well for my braid out and it's not very drying. I think it would really be good for natural hair also.

Hits:
Kan Kanechomn Jaborandi Deep Conditioning Cream

La Bella Styling Gel--I have always been curious about these giant, very cheap tubs of gel at Walmart.

A rediscovered hit: Biosysnthesis Phinish Leave-In Conditioner. It's comparable to Lacio Lacio, IMO.

Great thread!

Hits: Alter Ego Bright & Shine (great SMELL and temp shine if you want to keep your bounce, didn't weigh my hair down), CON conditioning shampoo (made detangling effortless), Biolage Dehydrating Hair Balm (what a difference 5 mins makes, hair felt very soft and smooth even 3 days later)

Hey Sassygirl, I've never heard of this brand before. Could you tell us a little more about it?

 

[sassygirl125]

I had never heard of it, either. Sickbay.biz sells a lot of the conditioners. They are similar to the Skala cream conditioners. Only they feel more slippery on my hair.

They have a website , but it's in Portugese. /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif

 

[NAY007]

Hit:

Aussie - Forgotten Knot Detangler

Works like a charm

 

[Kalani]

One big hit!
-Aveda Sap Moss Nourishing Concentrate

Used it as a pre-shampoo treatment, left it on for about 20 minutes with a shower cap then rinsed it out and washed my hair with the Sap Moss shampoo. LOVED the results!
I wasn't that crazy about the Sap Moss conditioner but that Nourishing Concentrate is the bomb!!!

 

[DahomeyAhosi]

misses - none

 

[deedabug]

HITS:
Vo5 conditioners--tangerine tickle and strawberries and cream...THE BOMB DIGGITY..besides smelling edible...they leave my hair soft and the smell lasts...i use these daily for con. washes...lately i have been leaving them in...why didnt i discover this before??? i dont like their daily hair treatments (that grease in a tube) so i have passed this brand up for years

Boar bristle brush: i had no way to sally's so i found a knock off at walmart...it makes my son's hair less fuzzy and i like using it when trying to smooth my hair back

MISSES:
Fx curl booster fixative gel--umm that silicone crap makes my hands go crazy when applied wet...either wet or dry i didnt see a curl hold nowhere and i had crunchy hair with the stuff..i may use it again later(juss cuz i have it) or give it someone...

Jury's still out:
Kenra moisturizing shampoo and conditioner i got as samples..there isnt much in the tubes(i only used a lil didnt want to use it all at once) but i didnt notice anything spectacular..i would need a liter bottle of both it seems tho to saturate my head...but i may finish the tubes off later on

[Leslie_C]

WOW, I am amazed that I actually have nothing to report for once...maybe my pjism is getting better! Ive pretty much found a good system with what Ive got and dont see a need to experiment...if it aint broke(dont fix it).....lol.

My staples are now: Nexxus Therappe and Humectress, Salerm or NTM leave in, Elasta QP recovery as a moisturizer, and Africas best herbal oil. For deep conditioning I love salerm wheat germ now. For protein Nexxus Emergencee. I cant believe Ive narrowed it down to less than 10 products...this is a milestone!

[sithembile]

Its only the middle of the month, give us a chance to shop!!!

 

[ChildlikeEmpress]

Hits:

*Suave conditioners! /images/graemlins/grin.gif I don't know what happened to my hair between March (the last time I tried them) and now, but... wow. I loveLoveLOVE the Citrus Smoothie and Milk and Honey varieties. They both leave my hair very soft and sweet-smelling.

*Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave-In Cream! Okay, so I first tried this out in August, but it's still worth a recommendation. Not only is it good on its own, but it seems to make my other products work better!

Misses:

*ORS Shea Butter Lotion. /images/graemlins/angry2.gif That crap should come with a warning label, and whoever thought that selling it was a good idea should be beaten with a frozen fish. It claims that it makes your hair soft and shiny, but it made mine dry, frizzy, dull and completely unmanageable. /images/graemlins/wallbash.gif
