Hit
Rene Furterer Karite Nourishing Cream---love, love, love this stuff
Mane and Tail + EVOO for prepooing
Biolage Detangling Solution- the 2nd best thing since sliced bread
Denman brush- I finally got one and it's all I use

Miss
ORS Hair Mayonaise- and I really wanted to like it too

Mixed Bag/Reevaluations
Aveda Anti Humectant- the still makes the hair shiny but it's kinda heavy and keeps the hair from swinging
K-Cutter- I still use it but not as often as the denman. I think the steel is a bit unforgiving.

[HoneyDew]

Hits:
-Double Drawn (vs. single drawn) 18" Indian remy straight for my micros - I am lovin' these braids and the hair
(will post pics soon) and will NEVER use anything else.
-Sulfur 8 medicated scalp solution - nice applicator helps me avoid getting the solution on my hair.
-ORS Hair Mayonnaise - My hair was so soft and ready for braiding (I did mix it with Miss Key 10 en 1 , Emergencia though)
Misses:
-Nexxus Hummectress and Keraphix - HATE THEM BOTH! (gave them to my boyfriend and he loved them )
-Keracare shampoo for relaxed hair - this sample did nothing - was rescued by my old faithful CON Ultra Moist (which, incidentally, makes this Indian hair feel do good and so soft).
-M-T-G - I love my MTG, but I have been feeling too sexy to deal with the smell build up - taking a break.

[Angelicus]

Labett is the QUEEN of PJ. I cannot beat her.

Hits: Mane 'n Tail Deep Moisturizing Condtioner. Ew, don't get this on your scalp or back, it is a slimy mess. I love the smell of it and It weighs my hair down well (some of you may not like that).

UltraSheen Super Setting Lotion. I stopped using it for two years and finally went back to it because it is cheap. I mixed 1 part water + one part Ultrasheen + one part of my Infusium solution (1 part Infusium 23, 1 part water, a little soybean oil and few drops of peppermint oil). My hair stood up to 100% humidity with this product and am happy it's back in my regimen.

Miss: Generic Nexxus Humectress Conditioner- Ew. Now I already knew that Nexxus didn't work for me so I don't know why I tried this conditioner. No slip, no softness, ew. the smell was fake ew.

 

[carrie]

Hit: Aloe vera gel

Jury still out:MTG, waiting to see my progress with this.

[LiLi]

Hits (or more like revisits since I'm trying to use up the 200 bottles of products that I own )

1. Nacidit Olive Oil Rinse (I have finally found something that's inexpensive that works on my newgrowth and my relaxed hair)

2. Aquage Smoothing Shampoo (the smell is intoxicating)

3. Jamaican Mango and Lime - No More Itch spray (This is perfect for the section of hair that I keep braided)

4. Pantene Light Detangling Spray (I use this on my nieces hair after I blow dry. I use Salerm21 for heat protection but her hair has no movement after I blow dry. I spray this on her blow-dried hair and flat-iron it and OH MY GOSH ... it was so so so so so silky and had alot of movement). I also use this spray when I am taking my braids down and combing them out. I just wish they hadn't changed the scent and formula. So far I have found 5 old bottles of this stuff and hopefully I will find something to replace it (doubt it since it's been an on/off staple for 12 years) before I run out .
