Don't mind the small amount of permed ends left!

Dc'ing right now with The Pomade Shop's Coffee DC on one side and Marie Dean's Coffee Dc on the other side. I also shampooed with The Pomade Shop's Coffee shampoo.

I'm curious of your comparisons.

I like that it comes in a jar for easy application to the hair. I apply conditioner like a relaxer so the jar makes for easy application. The consistency is rather thick which made application a little hard to do on wet hair. After it was applied it was fine. When rinsing condition out I always do a cold rinse. During the rinse I noticed there was very little slip. I did not like the feel after the conditioner was rinsed out.

The Pomade Shop
This Dc comes in a bottle which I do not like. I had to squeeze conditioner out into an old jar t make it easier to apply. The consistency is nice, it is thick but not as thick as MD. I actually like the consistency of this conditioner better. When I rinsed this conditioner it had more slip than MD but not as much as other conditioners. I applied Hairveda's Moist 24/7 to both sides of my hair to give it some slip. At 11 weeks post I need all the slip I can get.

Conclusion for Now
I like the feel of both conditioners when they are on my hair after steaming but I have to say I would rate The Pomade Shop better because it was easier to apply (except for the bottle versus jar), i like the consistency better (not too thick) and had more slip. Next time I use the MD I think I will add oil to it to make it easier to apply. Also, The Pomade Shop is more economical.

My hair is still wet right now. I have a towel on my head to allow it to dry about 75% before applying the rest of my leave-ins and detangling. I will let you know how the hair feels after it has air dried.

You just ordered more MD Coffee & Kokum. Are you going to try to change your order?

You are right, The Pomade Shop's Coffee is more economical.

I should try to Transfer some into Jars.

Lord knows I have enough empty Jars around here.

Looking forward to try both the Coffee & the Herbal Blends DC'ers I got from the Pomade Shop. Also the LinoMoist Crème.

Rozlewis &IDareT'sHair I've eliminated MD's coffee DC because I prefer TPS better and that it's more economical. I used this year to narrow my MD selection down.

I was going to order that DC, so glad I read your post. Question: What is TPS? I'm new to LHCF

IDareT'sHair, produce junkie that I am I did place another order for the MD Coffee DC and I will keep it. However, I will most likely add oil to it. In addition, I will probably try to layer the conditioner. After I steam in the DC I will probably add a layer of oil and another light-weight conditioner that has lots of slip. I will most likely not order the MD again.

Girl, let me tell you, the LinoMoist is delicious. I have been using it for the last month and I love, love, love it. I use it when I do the LOC method. I currently use:

L = Komaza Care Vitamin Reign
O = Hairveda's Jardin oil
C = The Pomade Shop's LinoMoist

My hair loves this stuff. I am so glad she sells this in the 8 oz size now. Plus she gives a nice coupon when you purchase 5 pomades. In addition, I have the shelf-life times for all of her products and all of them can be extended by refrigeration. I purchased a small refrigerator for my basement that is exclusively for my hair goodies.

Also, my hair is about 90% dry now and it feels good. The MD is not a bad conditioner at all just for my taste it was too thick, not enough slip, and pricey.

I can't wait to try my LinoMoist.

I think I will also try the CeraMoist (hope the citrus doesn't bother my scalp)

I know. I used my x5 time Purchase Coupon on my last order.

 

[Rozlewis]

IDareT'sHair, I have the CeraMoist in the fridge waiting to finish the LinoMoist.

I have a cart full of TPS stuff waiting until I use some of my stash. I can't wait to use my coupon.

Let me know how you like it when you use it.

Rozlewis...I have a plan to obtain a refrigerator for my hair products also!

 

[Rozlewis]

felic1, i am glad I did it. I had items in my kitchen refrigerator but I was always afraid that someone would mistake it for something else. Now I don't worry because the husband and kids know it is mine. Hands off people.

I DC on this past thursday and oh my my hair has never end came out so soft. The bad part is I used so many products, I am unsure of what exactly gave me such good results

I recall washing briefly in the shower with GVP nexxus humectress , left in on for 3 minutes. Then I dc with Kenra MC for 30 min with heat and then I rollerset my hair with Elasta QP smooth as silk and used a little Paul Mitchell Supper skinny serum. I left out my shampoo process and pre poo but thats minimal.

 

[Froreal3]

Dcing with SD Vanilla Silk for about 30 minutes to an hour (depending on how lazy I get) under my Hair Therapy Wrap. This is the right consistency and amount of moisture for me.

 

[karlajamaica]

Yay! I have been sticking to my routine of Trader Joe's Nourish conditioner on dry hair layered with coconut oil and my hair is responding incredibly well! I am so happy! My hair is soft and supple and my ends look great. I hope this continues to hold true... I know hair can change it's mind about products :-/
