September 2016: Hits & Misses

@mzhotniz86
Ms. Hot - which product is this?

The marula hemp hair cream

 

[Lissa0821]

Continued hit: Garnier fructis sleek n shine leave in cream. Nothing gives my hair moisture like this. Nothing. I've strayed to other leave-ins but I always return to this no matter what. I can go a full week without remoisturizing. I don't know why I keep looking for something "better".

 

[JerriBlank]

Hits:

Nuance by Salma Hayek conditioners

This is actually from earlier this year/late last month but both of the conditioners I used from this line (one deep and one rinse out) were really good. And they're reasonably priced/on sale often so that's a plus. They make my hair stronger and manageable but with just the right softness

.

Those Nuance conditioners have always been nice! They saved me for a while. Good prices, and awesome ingredients. I need to revisit once I use up some condishes.

 

[Aggie]

Hit: Spraying my 6 chunky twists (which have been residing beneath my wig during the day) with APB refresher spray. Finally I see the use of sprays! (My dense wash-and-go's were NEVER impressed with nor affected by sprays. Lol!)

I agree, refresher sprays are awesome to spray on braided hair worn under wigs. I love my wigs so these sprays do come in handy especially on days when I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like unraveling my celies to moisturize them one by one.

 

[Aggie]

Official HIT for sure:

Bekura Palm Tapioca - I used it on my hair yesterday, came home this evening, check my hair and it is STILL moist. Wow, I don't have to remoisturize tonight. I am really happy about this

 

[Saludable84]

Hit and Miss:
Sarenzo Twisting Frosting and MHC Buttery Soy.

I don't they belong together. The Frosting is good and creamy so it's not light enough as a leave in (for me) but not heavy enough to use alone. The Buttery Soy is moisturizer worthy and so I think it was like using two moisturizers. Next time, I will use the Frosting differently.

Yassssss!!!!! Weather dropping to the 50-70's next week, so I'm breaking it out soon enough.

Question for you ladies that use the Qhemet Amla and Olive oil heavy cream, how do you use it? Is it used like a butter to seal or do you use it a primary moisturizer? Thanks!

I use it like a heavy sealing butter. Only in winter though. It's really heavy.

Girl @Saludable84

Listen to me!

That cream is the bomb.com. I will be getting more of that, I can assure you

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Both but I only use a tad bit and sometimes mix it with the lighter cream because it's greasy if I use too much.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Daina
I use it for both. Fall/Winter. It is exactly what it says: "Heavy Cream" so please bear that in mind while using.

 

[blackeyes31626]

Continued hit:
Oyin J&B with Bekura/Bask palm tapioca hair buttercream.
I gotta try it without the j&b though.

*adds palm tapioca to me short BF list*

 

[Daina]

@Saludable84, @IDareT'sHair, @shawnyblazes, thanks ladies I've been dying to try it but the weather here is still warm. I'm going to Chicago next week so I may try it then but will definitely use it sparingly.

 

[CodeRed]

Hit: Mizani Botanifying Conditioning Shampoo

I used this years ago. Not sure why I stopped but it's great. Love it. Doesn't dry out my hair but gets everything clean.

Hit: Smooth N Shine Instant Repair Hair Polish

Does indeed provide smoothness and shine. It's thicker than the GVP Silk Remedy or Chi Silk Infusion I was using but my hair is really soft and I can find it in 8oz bottles for about $7. I really like it. Will finish out this 4oz bottle to see if it's consistently good.

Meh: Aunt Jackie's Girls Super Duper Softening Conditioner

I used it today... It's really a take or leave kind of thing. I like it but in order to make it "great" I'd probably have to add some hemp or grapeseed oil to it. It smells great though - like candy, and I'm kind of happy about it because my head was smelling like garlic and onions (my house too) so it banished that well

 

[Beany]

Hit:
Jane Carter frizz free style smoother (something like that lol)

This is super light and perfect for rollersets. It literally absorbed on contact with my low porosity hair. Not alot of slip, but I detangled during the prepoo and DC sessions.

Continued hit:
CD styling foam. Great on wet and dry hair for rollersets

Yall my hair is so light and has body ody ody. I wasn't getting this with kckt and CD foam so I'm guessing it the jane carter stuff.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beany
Sounds great Ms. Beany!

 

[KinksAndInk]

Miss: raggedy vendors and their raggedy thrown together sales knowing darn well they don't have products in stock. You will not be getting my money to go purchase your ingredients so you can whip up what you didn't have to offer from the beginning and make me wait forever and a day to get my products. NO!

 

[vevster]

Reusable latex gloves from Sally's. My wash and go was so defined this morning.

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

Hit: Creme of Nature Coconut Milk Detangling and Conditioning Conditioner

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

HIT: Nutress Hair Moisturizing Protein Pack

HIT: Bantu knotting to help manage wash day sectioning

HIT: Husband who helps detangle

MISS: These darn SSKs

 

[sarumoki]

@CodeRed How do you use the Smooth & Shine polisher?

 

[CodeRed]

@CodeRed How do you use the Smooth & Shine polisher?

I put some in the palm of my hand, spread it all over my hands and fingers and run it through my wet hair after conditioning. I concentrate on my ends too.

Hit & Miss
SM peace rose oil cream gel. This is an awesome styler. Provides a decent amount of moisture and defines curls very well. The scent just lingers until you wash your hair. My girls wash n go lasted all week but they smelled like a flower shop for the entire time.

I want to try this so much but that smell
Their scent department really needs to check themselves cause that rose smell...

Ditto! I actually get good moisture and decent light hold, but the smell

 

[Beany]

@Beany
Sounds great Ms. Beany!

It is, but I have at least 10 bottles of KCKT
I'll be sending some to my mom, sister, and cousins.
Definitely buying more of that JC stuff. My hair is so bouncy. I haven't had bouncy hair since my relaxed hair days

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Hit: Mastering a bun with these Marleys, so convenient
Miss: Realizing this is not my hair and knowing I have take them down to use up stuff sooner or later

Ugh. I can't even imagine. So not a fan of most of their scents.
