Continued Hit turned MISS:
CHI Silk Infusion Serum.

Everytime I do my hair without it I realize more and more that I don't like it. Now what am I going to doing with the more then half full 12 oz bottle and full 2 oz bottle I have? :look:


HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Activate products. I like the shampoo, conditioner, hair repair, and leave in (on my ends) I am all late on these products. Now that I am down they decide to only sell them online. :look:

On the fence:
Robert Craig Hair color. You get more color than Bigen and it is easier to apply since it includes a color bottle. The Black color is more natural looking than Bigen, but the color bled badly since I applied it. It took clarifying a few days later to stop it.
 
HITS:

-HE Long Term Relationship Condish
-HE LTR Leave-In
-HE Break's Over Leave-in
-Conair 100% Boar Bristle Brush: Brush is soooo soft!


MISS:

Major Hit: Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm

When I purchased this yesterday, I told the stylist that I love the SS serum and he said that the relaxing balm is the like serum but on crack..lol! He said it is perfect for our type of hair (he's black) and that is really good! Anyhoo, I am 11 weeks post and I did my normal wash and deep condition. For my leave-ins I used the SS Relaxing Balm and followed up with the SS serum. I air dried and my hair came out feeling sooo smooth and silky. In addition, my new growth is so soft and the curls are loosened; I love it:love:! Also part of my hair is texlaxed and the balm seriously relaxed those waves as well. I also flat ironed a small section (just to see how it would work with heat) and the hair came out so straight and smooth; including the new growth. I seriously think I'm going to take the plunge and transition because I just love the way new growth looked and felt. The comb also just glides through my new growth when my hair is dry; not just when wet. And if I want to straighten, I think with the right products (the balm plus the serum) it won't be a problem. I definitely plan to repurchase!!

Other Hits:

Goody Oucheless Detangling Comb
Goody Oucheless Conditioner Comb

I love these combs and love that they're seamless! I really needed some seamless combs because I suspect that that my other combs with seams played a significant role in some of the split ends I had been seeing.

I finally broke down and bought a liter of Elucence MB conditioner due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews i've read (it took me 2 whole years yall!!).

Haven't used it as a straight up conditioner yet or as a co-wash but i am loving it mixed in my spritz bottle and as a leave-in :grin:. it's pricey though so my V05 won't have to worry about losing it's place.

sidenote: curlmart.com is da bomb w/ordering and fast shipping :yep:

Qhemet Biologics: i ordered some products for the first time from her and am anticipating the products :lick:. Will post an update after i've tried them.

Jojoba Oil revisited: i'm using as a scalp moisturizer/conditioner and so far it's really effective on my eczema!

Herbal Essences LTR conditioner - i read the reviews and liked the ingredients. Picked up the last bottle on the shelf (it was the big one) - haven't tried it yet, hope it's good cause that bottle is huge. It does smell really good :grin:
 
Hits

Nexxus phyto organics Theratin poo
Nexxus phyto organics Hydraide con
adding Lacio Lacio to my spray bottle for rollersets
 
Hits: CHI Silk Infusion with Fantasia IC Gel! This combo gets my curls pop
pin! (Natural heads, don't sleep on this!)

Miss: Cantu (anything) It leaves white residue if I combine it with any product.
 
Hits: TRESemme Anti-Breakage conditioner. I ran out of my B5 & Aloe and couldn't find it, so got the AB formula. I got this and the Vit E formulas, 2 huge bottles for 6 bucks! After one use, the AB seems to work well. I like the fragrance better than the B5 & aloe. I prepoo and DC with oils, and use the Tresemme to cowash them out. The AB seemed to get my oils out better than the B5.

Misses: Lustrasilk Cholesterol with Carrot Oil. This left my hair very weighed down and greasy-looking. I used it on its own, too. Normally I use Queen Helene cholesterol cream mixed with EVOO or vatika oil and it leaves my hair wonderfully moisturized and shiny. I'll keep the LS and use it when I henna again.

FYI My last order with her took a while. Well, still have not gotten it, but I just got the shipment confirmation last week about 2 weeks after my order. I don't mind though. Her stuff is very good!
 
Hit:

I bought this on a whim while I was in Target. I am 8 weeks post and this stuff is good. I poo and con yesterday with Aveda DR then used this leave in. My new growth is sooo soft.
 
Hits:
Henna gloss - I don't know why it took me so long to try this! :grin:
