Re: It\'s that time again! November Hits & Misses

Well, I haven't purchased any new hair care products because I'm on the hair care product challenge (and doing well as always).

However, I did get a free sample of a shampoo that I will try in a few days and post a mini review.

How time flys! And for the first time, I have only made 1 purchase this month, and that was LUST, which was just ok.

<ul type="square"> [*]L'Anza Protein Plus shampoo (old formula, w/o SLS) [*]Elucence Moisture Acidifying Shampoo [/list]

Misses
<ul type="square"> [*]Back to Basics Sunflower Detangling and Conditioning Spray, with Natural Vitamin Complex A-C-E (it's a leave-in conditioner) ... it's ok, it definitely detangles but I like Elasta QP H-Two Leave-In better. [*]Vaseline all over the hair, instead of just ends (too drying for *my* hair) [/list]

Re: It\'s that time again! November Hits & Misses

Hits:
Ion Moisturizing Treatment
Profectiv Damage-Free Leave in
Profectiv Long 'N' Healthy Mega Moisturizer

Just Okay:
Generic Extra Gentle Shampoo--it's fine, but nothing super duper special. At least it's gentle

Beyond the Zone Acid Shock--again, it's fine, but I bet there's something better I could be trying. Or I could just get a conditioner that already has low pH and not deal with all the mixing. Have I mentioned that it smells bad?

Misses--none

Re: It\'s that time again! November Hits & Misses

Hits

Pantene Pro-V Relaxed &amp; Natural Wrap &amp; Set Lotion (for weekly roller sets - smells really good)
Pantene Pro-V Relaxed &amp; Natural Oil Cream Moisturizer (for daily moisturizing (watch out UBH . . .this feels and smells fantastic))
Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil (for daily massage of my hairline . . . i know it may sound unbelievable, but i've got new growth in a week's time in that area, so i'm going to keep on using it)

Misses

Smooth 'N Shine Spray-On Polisher (it was working fine, but noticed one day a white film that had developed on my hand where some of the serum had dried . . . just thought that it might be forming a similar film on my hair)

Undecided

Mizani BotaniFying shampoo, MoistuFuse conditioner and ThermElastic leave-in (bought yesterday, used for first time today, but think I need to use again before can render final evaluation)

KeraCare Hydrating Detangling shampoo and Humecto Creme conditioner (bought yesterday - haven't used yet)

Other

I've added the following to my previously minimalist (multi, biotin) supplement regimen. It'll take a couple of months to notice any effect (or so I've read):

Spectrum Essential Ground Flaxseed (1-2 tbsp/day)
Barlean's Flax Oil (1 tbsp/day)
Whole Foods Fish Oil (2000 mg/day)
GNC Women's Ultra EPO (2600 mg/day)

Yes, yes . . . maybe a bit of overkill on the EFA, but from what I understand ground flaxseed/flaxseed oil, fish oil and evening primrose oil, while all are good for healthy hair, skin and nails, they have different fatty acids which serve different health functions (e.g., EPA and DHA in fish oil good for concentration/memory, GLA in EPO good for relieving PMS symptoms, etc.).
