[KinkyGenius]

Miss: Bee Mine Deja Hair Milk
I really wanted to like this product but when I applied it as a leave-in to towel dried hair it went on a bit....sticky? gummy? I'm not sure which word I'm looking for, but it just wasn't a good feeling. And once my hair dried, my hair didn't feel moisturized at all. I used it 3x just to be sure that it was a failed product for me. Plus, the smell is a bit too sweet smelling and strong for me. Thankfully I only ordered the sample sized.

Miss: Kukui Nut Oil as a sealant
My hair felt SO coated and greasy even when I just used a little bit. This oil sits on my hair it doesn't absorb at all. I'm now using it up by mixing it in my DC and so far so good. I'm sticking to Camellia Seed oil for my sealant, no oil has proven to be better than this one for me.

Hit: Redken Anti-Snap
I bought this awhile ago but then read a few reviews on here that it dried out your hair, so I just stored it. It actually leaves my hair feeling very strong, not dry at all. I'm noticing far less breakage and split ends as well. I'm currently 4 months post relaxer and the extra strength I get from this is right on time.

 

[chebaby]

hit: kinky curly knot today. i love this stuff almost as much as i love kbb hair milk. it is a staple. makes my hair so soft and defined.

 

[Dayjoy]

HUGE HIT--I rarely come over to the hair side any more and post even more infrequently, but this was so great I had to come tell it! Miss Jessie's Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo has CHANGED MY LIFE. I bought this for my 4B natural DD and it made our hair time better and quicker than ever before. I have never, EVER been able to detangle and get her hair done this easily and quickly. It made her hair super soft and smelled really good too. I it! I found it at Target for $12.

 

[SelfStyled]

MAJOR HIT- Elasta QP Elucent Gel-the best brown gel ever! Hold like no other, defintion like no other, slick I mean really slick my 4 a/b edges down. The best part no protein in it either. The best 4 dollars I ever spent.

 

[MSLONG]

Hit:

Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer

I used this last night before my rollerset and got amazing results.
I'm going to use it again the next time I rollerset to see if I get the same results. If so, this stuff is going to become a staple for me. I can't believe I slept on this one for so long!!!
