This month i'm going to make a decision between Aunt Jackies Quench and Miss Jessie's Leave-In Condish. I've been going back and forth for a couple of months cause my hair seems to be doing well with both. But Aunt Jackies is 1-2 $ cheaper on average and I feel like it has a touch more slip than the Miss Jessies. The Miss Jessies product has gotten me 3 days out of a wash n go while i've gone to 5 days with the Aunt Jackies. ...it's good to write things out. I've made my decision! Aunt Jackies it is!

How is Elucence as a cowash and a general conditioner? I've always wanted to try it and it gets nothing but love on the board!

I actually really did like the Moisture Repair as a Treatment. (It gets mixed reviews).

This will be my 1st time using the Moisture Balance, and as a Cowash.

When I was relaxed, I used the Acidifying Shampoo as a Neutralizer, Chelator, Clarifier and it was also pretty good.
 
Okay here goes...

Duafe Naturals Protein Rich Hair Milk
CB Smoothe Styling Creme
Blended Hairitage Hibiscus & Coconut Conditioner
4 Naturals Curl Craze Curl lotion( all of these I am trying to use up get rid of)

HH Sticky Honey Hash Conditioner
CB Smoothie Coconut Hair Milk
Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave In
K Organics Oyl
Coconut oil
HQ Honey Pineapple Hibiscus Mask
 
My bottle of Redken Time Reset Shampoo has salicylic acid in it, who knew it was an exfoliating shampoo? Well it did leave my hair feeling squeaky clean and it smelled like it had rosemary in it. I need to go read the ingredients list again.

I followed it up with the Time Reset Conditioner and it felt better. I think even my moisturizer has better staying power after cleansing with the Time Reset poo and conditioner. I like them, I like them a lot:yep:. Too bad they are discontinued. That really sucks!
