[mkstar826]

You ladies are going to make me get that Cherry Almond Bark!

GET IT!!! I wasn't expecting it to be so moisturizing but is and it's nice and thick too so a a little goes a long way for the price.

I will be seeking out these clips.... need something like this, non metal

They are really good. They don't snag like a lot of the clips I've used.

Okay...I had to add my last few products in here for the month.

Hits:
Fantasia IC Aloe/Vitamin Deep Penetrating Creme Moisturizer. Good stuff.

On The Fence:
Oyin Greg Juice. It's okay. I am not crazy about the smell. It was good on my wet hair. ONce it dried, I am not so sure.erplexed I do not think I will buy this again. Every time I turn my headI get a get whiff of it. The smell is not working for me. Sure I could add EO's to it, but if I do all that, I can just make my own.

 

[CarefreeinChicago]

[LovelyLionessa]

So you know this one will magically appear in my stock right?

Fo' sure!


Hits:
Thermasilk Straight & Smooth Leave-In Cream
I used this before Maxigliding and it made my hair straight and silky.

NTM Mask as a pre poo: I know this product gets mixed reviews and a whole lot of hateration, but I had some of this lying around and decided to use it mixed with Suave Milk & Honey. It made my hair feel so good, even after shampooing and before deep conditioning.

Bunning: Whether as a protective style or to re-set wild airdried ends, this simple style works wonders.

Hit: Hollywood beauty olive oil creme

Miss: A, get this, comb-happy stylist. I couldn't get her to stop raking with one of those extra-fine tooth combs!!! My hair was freshly relaxed so she wasn't breaking any hairs, but I only run my comb (wide-toothed)through my hair once a day, max, so I was really uncomfortable erplexed

I'm on the fence about the Olive Cream Detangler. I'm not sure how to use it on my hair. When I tried to use it on my damp hair to detangle, it didn't seem to do much. I LOVE the Amla Oil Pomade for my scalp/new growth, though.

 

[LaShanne]

HITS:
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Extra Strength Serum! (Thanks Sylver2) My hair has never felt so soft and smooth. I cant keep my hands out of my hair.

Dabur Amla Oil: I use it as an overnite pre-poo, (courtesy of DLewis) I dont know if this why my hair is so shiny, but I'm 6 wks post relaxer and so far it's keeping my new growth in check.

ON THE FENCE:
Reshma Henna: I love the color and strength but I experienced major shedding/breakage. I'm giving my hair a 3 wk henna break but I'll try it again. I really want it to work.

MISS:
Nexxus Aloe Rid: It left my hair tangled and matted. It was my first clarifying experience so I thought thats the way it was supposed to feel. I didnt like it, though.

The detangler cream had the same effect on my daughter's hair that the BTZ Noodlehead had on Pokahontas' hair....amazing waves and curls, the BTZ Noodlehead has the same effect on her hair also

I'm looking forward to checking out the Amla Oil Pomade.

[YellowButterfly]

HIT:
Giovanni Sunset Styling Lotion - I use it over the Direct Leave-In conditioner and do the ponytail method of air drying or allow it to dry under the hair dryer. Results is silky smooth bouncy straight look with just the right amount of body with no need for any other heat application. I can take it out of the ponytail and comb it down and go. (sometimes I add a roller to the end of the ponytail and sometimes just shape it with my hand). It is way better than when I tried to flat iron my hair because it just would not lay right and I felt I was damaging it. So the ponytail method is a hit too.
Thanks to whoever invented it.

ORS Replenishing Pak
