@Froreal3 , you are definitely on it with the Cupuacu Hair Milk. I have been seeking out things with Cupuacu Butter in them and this one is definitely a keeper. Oh, it's a hit.

And the Pink Buttercream scent? I hope I don't hoard those and the Hair Creams.

Major Hit: Beautifully Bamboo Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamins
Ladies, my hair is definitely more dense and thick! I don't even have to use a pick to disguise my parts anymore. I just separate, fluff, and go. I've been taking these for over 6 months and don't plan on stopping.

@NaturallyATLPCH, I hear you on the Beautifully Bamboo vitamins. I am definitely sold on those. I have about 8 months left:yep:

As for the cupuacu butter, I might be looking into getting some from www.newdirectionsaromatics.com.

I get pretty much all of my butters from them now and of course some favorite essential oils to customize them to my liking.

Do you guys mix your butters or not? Are you following some kind of recipes? I think I might start buying my own as well....
I just don't know how to mix, and every recipe I have seen calls for Shea butter which my hair doesn't really like, I mean I can use a little but not alot of it....

No special recipe for me. I just buy my butters and add various essential oils depending on the resulting fragrance I want to achieve. The butters I buy already have their own specific properties so all I do is change up the scents a bit. Shea butter is only one of the butters I have. There are tons out there. Check out www.newdirectionsaromatics.com for some of the many butters out there. Look under "raw ingredients"

I do plan on making my own exotic butter mix once I use some stuff up. It will include Cupuacu and Murumuru butter.

Cupuacu and murumuru butters are expensive but they are in my wish list also for my next butter and oil purchase:yep:.

I can't wait to try them both. For now I have 12 assorted butters I will be using up.

I will combining some of my butters that I know work well together like the olive, soy, and aloe butters. Great combo for my hair:drool:.

I'm crazy about rich oils like ylang ylang extra, vetiver, and sandalwood essential oils to add to my butters. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

Continued hit:
Organic creations conditioner base (daily use)

I usually mix this base with oil, marshmallow powder, and honey, but today I used it on it's own on dry hair and it worked well and I was able to detangle with it. I'm glad I have a gallon of this. Hopefully she doesn't change the formula *fingers crossed*

On the fence:

Njoy hair growth oil but only because I was expecting a real tingly feeling on my scalp and there was none. I do like the smell however - floral fantasy. I might have to add some essential oils to it to get my tingle going.

@Aggie
If you want TINGLE (On Steroids) you need to try: Kj Naturals (ETSY) Tingle Oil.

Kj Naturals Tingly Oil will definitely give you the Tingle of Your Life!:laugh:

Sleeping with a silk scarf vs the bss scarves. I am preferring this to my chermuse satin scarf. Silk is so light but great for keeping moisture it.

I was given a beautiful silk scarf for xmas when my uncle went to Japan. It's so pretty and delicate I feel kinda bad using it to tie my hair up but oh well at least I look good sleeping

Hits:

Sally Beauty Supply (the store). I don't shop there often, but I am astonished at their selection of products catering to natural hair (and in Oahu of all places). They are about to be my main go-to store for my hair.

Shea Moisture Curling Gel Souffle. This is better at keeping my hair moisturized than their JBCO leave-in and their smoothie. It doesn't do much for hold, but I'm okay with that because my hair stays soft all day long with minimal product.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I have been using this consistently on my scalp and ends. I haven't had as many flakes, and I've noticed less breakage.

Clairol Natural Instincts Color Treat Conditioner. The demi didn't do anything in my hair, but the conditioner is luxurious. I wish I could buy this stuff by the bottle. I'm seriously considering buying this stuff on eBay and using it as my main conditioner.

Miss:

Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Hair Sheen
. Such a meh product. The spray is a little too narrow for me, and the product doesn't actually add much sheen to my hair. ORS Nature Shine is so much better for a fraction of the cost and a much larger bottle.

Girl, if you like that conditioner, go get the Feria Color Moisturizing Treatment. It comes in their hair color container and it was SO popular that they made it available in a large size. It is actually BETTER than the Clairol Color Treatment. They have it at Sally and if you don't like it, you can always return it. You can find it here: http://www.sallybeauty.com/color-moisturizing-treatment/LOREAL40,default,pd.html#q=feria&start=2
