NON-Growth Eqyss Product support thread

I thought it would be an idea to create a seperate thread for the NON-growth related Eqyss products a lot of us have their eye on or are currently using from the Eqyss range like rinses, mists or shampoos.

I ordered samples a few years ago but cannot remember for the life of me how they worked. The shampoos contain SLS and really don't want to be back on those again so I'll stick with my SoftSheen Breakthru and Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Shampoos.

But the rinse (I'm wondering if this is comparable to OCR (Ovation Creme Rinse) and the rehydrant and avacado mist.

I actually ordered the Avocado and Rehydrant Mist, along with the Creme Rinse.... Somebody help me!

Annnnyyyhhhoooow.

They shipped them out yesterday, but I doubt I'll get them in time to try out during this weekend's hairisode.....

And I was for real checking out the Marigold Spray too - I HATE wearing Off!

LondonDiva,
I use Micro-Tek Gel and Micro-Tek Shampoo on my dog and they are not for human use- at least that's what the bottle says.

Have you heard differently?

There are 4 I want to try

This sounds like dry natural hair's dream product Esp in the humid summer!! WOW

ETA: It really seems that any dryness problems caused by the extra protein in the growth products would be off-set by a product such as this!! Protein / Moisture is always a winning formula!!

You are SO right - that's exactly why I got the Rehydrant Spray!!! I was eying the Detangler, but I really think I've got my detangling issues under control, at least right now.

These products sound to good to be used on horses!

Avocado Mist Spray sounds interesting

Someone here bought the avocado mist. Hopefully she will write a review here

Ya'll need to shout out to Sareca on these. She can give you the low down cuz she is the original LHCF Eqyss "Queen". And I think the Premier shampoo for Color Treated Hair is the Ovation shampoo.

Hey Sareca where are you girl !!!!!!

Speak Vixxen, Speak!!! Messing with you & her is what finally got me head over heels with henna - what's up with the Avocado Mist? How do you use it? What's the biggest benefit you've seen??? I know I'mma have my hands on some of my own in a lil bit, but - a sista needs to know what she's looking forward to!

Hey long time no see!

Do you think the Avocado Mist can be used as a leave in.

I've used the avocado mist and the rehydrant spray. THey are almost exactly the same except for one ingredient. The avocado mist did not work well for me and about a year later I tried the rehydrant, which was only slightly better UNTIL I diluted it with filtered water. After that, it was just wonderful -- soft, moisturized, detangled hair. I do use it as a leave-in. I extrapolated that experience to conclude that if I had also diluted the avocado mist, it would have worked wonderfully for me as well. I did try the Mega-tek a couple years back, but it worked almost exactly the same as the Cabellina Del Caballos mane and tail conditioner (from Wal-mart), which is one of my staples, so I never spent the $18.00 for a 16 ounce bottle again when the Cabellina is $8.00 for 32 ounces.

This is scarey, I swear at lunch time, I thought to myself the Rehydrant needs to be dilluted with distilled water to be just perfect... The thought just popped into my head out of no where....wow! I was going to post that thought but I went to a meeting this afternoon.... Wow, I'm ordering now....thank you

Did this help speed your growth?? Or did you just use it as a conditioner?

I voted for the survivor detangler. I ordered it a while back in lurk mode when VWVixxen was singing it's praise (along with the mega-tek, avocado mist, and rehydrant). I love the survivor detangler, it's all I use to seal my hair and the ingredients are FAB. My fine stands hate oil, grease, and pomade etc......As far as the avocado mist and rehydrant It didn't really do anything special for me. I was to watery. Just broke my mega-tek back out until my OCT arrives.

I'm thinking out loud again... :scratchch Please anyone correct me if I'm thinking wrong.

Kelly your hair looks relaxed, so are you able to use the Survivor when you are doing a roller set or a blowdry / flat iron style, etc.

Therefore, a natural who wears their hair straightened the Survivor may be the best leave in choice. For a natural wearing a wash and go, the Re-hydrant or the Avocado Mist would work better due to the moisture properties... I'm thinking this would make a straightened style revert....Let me know if I'm off base on base with my assumptions.

I just use it as a protein conditioner. It has keratin protein, but also olive oil and coconut oils, so it never made my hair hard. It also has horsetail and panthenol, which are two of my favorite hair friendly ingredients. It would be the perfect product if it also contained aloe vera, but I just add AV to it. (I am PMing you the rest of my post as it got rather long -- so I just cut it and will paste it into a PM -- and was a bit off topic since I went into detail about my homemade aloe vera scalp concoction that I use to speed growth.)

I may have to try my dog's Micro-tek gel the next time I get itchy skin....just to see...

Anyway, I have the Avocodo Mist- it was okay- and the Rehydrant- it worked well. I just don't like having damp hair in the winter so I plan to really try them out this summer.

Hi AtlantaJJ,
Sorry for not being clear in my post. But the Survivor Detangler is and is used like a serum (Chi, Paul Mitchell Super Skinny, etc) without the cones. Amazing slip.... I think it would be great for naturals and relaxed.

Don't even get me thinking....Damn! I gave my last 2 bottles to my friend and have no bottle to do an ingredients comparison. I good results from surge. BUT if I can use this safely on my hair and scalp then I can use it to tame thr growth from the Mega-Tek and hopefully adding a tiny growth boost to it also.

SURGE AND AVOCADO MIST INGREDIENT COMPARISONS (ingredients or similar ingredients in both products highlighted in bold)

SURGE
Water, Cetrimonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Muccopolysaccharides, Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Polyquantemium-7, Biotin, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Aloe Barbadnesis Gel, Propylparaben, Citric Acid, Sodium PCA.

Avocado Mist
Deionized water, DL panthenol hydrolyzed Mucopolysaccharides, tetrasodium EDTA, cetrimonium bromide, Allantoin, hydrolyzed wheat protein,sodium PCA. Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80, Methylparaben, DMDM hydantoin, extracts of avocado and aloe vera, fragrance.


Looks like a good Surge comparison to me.
