LD: My hair air did not like it before I diluted it.

Atlanta: My hair does not like leave-ins with keratin. Now, my hair loves keratin, but not in leave-ins. I pour it into my protein bottle of other protein liquids and use as a protein treatment.

Avacado Mist experience.

Has anyone an experience with it lathering when they sprayed it on their hair?

I think maybe the websites have old information? The AM that I got direct from Eqyss has the red ingredients.......

And I haven't seen any lathering, either......

That was my mistake, trying to use it as a leave in....Thanks for the tip!! I'll use it as an alternate protein treatment, mix in a few oils and some Duo Tex....

I'm not sure why it wants to lather on me, kinda strange but since I won't use it as a leave in, it won't be so bad.

Does anyone know the difference between the Premier Color Intensifying Shampoo that is marketed to humans vs. the one marketed to horses? In the Eqyss site's human product section there is an 8 oz bottle of the shampoo and I can't help but wonder if it the ingredients are the same... sorry if this question has been asked before...

Soooooo! My stuff showed up today!

Okay.

Consistency:
Cream Rinse: Really thin and light - cheapie con consistency
Rehydrant Mist: Clear Liquid
Avocado Mist: Clear Liquid

Smell:
Cream Rinse: Smells like an unscented conditioner - really faint smell that reminds me of something else - almost like deodorant? Overall mild scent.
Rehydrant Mist: Smells like angry fruit. It sounds insane - but - ah! Smells like sour jolly ranchers. Sweet, but with a tart edge.
Avocado Mist: Oh my gods, this stuff smells good enough to DRINK. Very sweet and fruity, but not strong.

Hair Feel: (I layered all three - in this order - on one section of my hair)
Cream Rinse: Made my hair softer - pratically melted out the few tangles I had left, the Denman went through like butta. I don't have any fully tangled hair - I think that would have been an interesting experiment. Made my ends feel a little - bumpy/rough/unsmooth.
Rehydrant Mist: Layered on top, softness ramped up another level. Ends went to silk.
Avocado Mist: My hair really couldn't have gotten any softer - but now the hair feels lightly coated - coated isn't even the right word - it feels like it's been treated, somehow. It feels - moist, but it's mostly dry. I'm waiting for it to dry all the way, and then I'll fondle it again, and see if it still feels this way.

I've been sitting here brushing though this one section of hair for a couple of minutes now - I'm a natural, and my hair normally does NOT stay detangled for much longer than it takes me to slap in a fast twist. Right now, I'm being bold, and letting the products air dry on a LOOSE section of detangled hair.
It's staying soft, and fluffly, and loose - and most importantly, detangled.

And SOFT! I'm not sure it's a good thing for my hair to be this soft. I haven't looked in the mirror yet, so I can't say anything about shine. It also feels like it's given my hair more body. My fingers feel a little coated too - almost how your hands feel after a really good paraffin treatment - not coated, but insanely smooth.

I'm going out today to get two small spray bottles for the Avocado and Rehydrant mist, too.

I'm freaking out a little, because I have no clue how to incorporate these into my routine - and I MUST, because I'm loving the crazy soft hair.

Jk do you think you will continue to use these products only with the good results you have?

Hrrrm.
The Me & Megatek Cell Rebuilder are on it for LIFE. Seriously, I doubt that I'll ever stop using that.

The Avocado Mist, I suspect I won't repurchase. The protein in it is too high up on the list (4th ingredient, if you include water), and I don't think my hair will be happy with that, on top of the MT, in the long run. It's supposed to make your hair stronger, and reduce breakage - and all of that just screams protein treatment to me.

The Rehydrant Mist, I think I WILL repurchase. It also has protein in it, but a lighter form (hydrolyzed wheat protein compared to the hydrolyzed keratin in the AM), and it's ingredient #6 (once again, including the water). Also, just based on the descriptions from the bottle, the Rehydrant fulfils more of my hair's needs (hydration & shine).

The Eqyss Creme Rinse is still an unknown - I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I suspect, though, if it works to balance out the protein in the MT like the Ovation Creme Rinse balances out the protein in the Cell Therapy, I'll be using the Creme Rinse for as long as I use the MT.

Ask me again in a month or so, and I'll have a solid answer.

Has anyone here tried the Mega Tek Survivor Detangler and if you have, what benefits if any, do you get from it? Does it shine and detangle like it claims? Reviews please.

I'm also interested in a response. I have the Detangler, quirked it on my fingers...it's so thick and jelly like I was scared to put it on 'The Hair'.

Directions/input anyone...TIA

It's like a serum but it's not made of silcon, it's made of essential oils and some special formual of Eqyss. Just a tiny dab on freshly straightened or hair fresh from a roller set is perfect as a finishing product. I would not attempt to use it as a cream rinse. It is like a clear serum. I love it for straight hair looks.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

We could take a bit of the AM and add it to a bottle of aloe gel and some other goodies to come up with a different kind of conditioner. I was surpised at the high amount of protein in the AM myself. I don't want it to go to waste but I can't figure out how to fit it into my reggie yet. :scratchch

I'm thinking it might be good to be used with heat??? I dunno. It's sitting in my cabinet right now - I really can't think of any time my natural hair would need that much consistent protein on the length, ya know?
I betcha it would be WONDERFUL on colored hair, though.

Oh my bottle of avocado mist lathers alright. Especially when put on dry hair.

The avocado mist that I have has the bolded teal green ingredients. It does not have the keratin in it. I believe this may be good news so I will do as adw did with hers, and that is to add it to my alter ego garlic treatment and see what happens. When I used it on my hair directly, my hair felt a little sticky and looked dull too, not good. Maybe I should have diluted it first. Okay, at least I have a couple of options to play with for now.

ETA: By the way, I did purchase the MT Survivor Detangler and all I can say is WOW! That thing is niiiiiiccccce. It has a very soft, sweet, flowered garden-like smell to it and it really does work like the Chi silk infusion only without the cones. This one I will re-purchase for sure.

Also, the MT Rehydrant spray is the ish IMO. It smells really nice and moisturizes my hair really well and keeps it soft all day. This is also a staple. I can't say that I will be re-purchasing the AM though. I will update later with the MT premier shampoo and creme rinse later as I have not used them as yet.

I don't know what I'm going to do with the AM, if I knew better I would have ordered the rehydrant spray as well. I love the Survivor Detangler, it's amazing. They should call it serum though, the name is somewhat misleading.

Do you use the SD as a finishing product or do you use it to flat iron as a heat protector?

I use it as a finishing product and I have not yet used it as a heat protector but I will soon and I agree, they really should call it a serum. How have you been using the AM?

 

[eshille]

thanks, Atlanta...I'll try that tiny dab tonight...

Atlanta...the Super Detangler has been the answer to my ends loving to hug each other. I applied somewhat more than a dab to each section of ends after roller setting and combing through yesterday, voila...no hugs.

When I'm finger combing and get to what I call an internal loop, I simply pull/tug on the ends and voila my hand slides through easily..sometimes I work the loop down the shaft, needing to pull more than once...but this discovery has been a great relief from what I call the 'loops of frustration'...

Great product once I figured out how to best use it for my hair.

Thx again for the tip...

Do you mean Survivor Detangler? Are you natural or relaxed? I'm glad it helped!! I love the stuff I'll always have some on hand (to think it's for horses!!)

I haven't used the AM, I don't know what to do with it because it has so much protein and I'm natural. The AM with the MT would be sure protein over load for me. I need to figure out how to use it as a rinse out conditoner, or to use it perhaps on a day I use direct heat??? I'm not sure....

Yep..the Suvivor Detangler...

My hair looks like it is relaxed on days when it's not humid and in the winter months...I sport a stylized fro on days when it is humid and in the summer months...I've got a unique product on the hurr and the hurr ain't under processed...

I am just so grateful to find something that keeps the tangles on my ends at bay...thx again.

So...I say I'm kinda relaxed as the answer to your q....

I've never used SAA as a detangler - lords, the funk! - but how does it work?

 

[gorgeoushair]

Don't know.....I got my SAA last week but haven't used it yet. I'm assuming since some say the Survivor work just like a serum/chi silk then maybe SAa would give the same results........

I'm trying to get my order ready, so far, i have the rehydrant and the creme rinse in my shopping cart. I'm trying to decide whether or not to get the survivor.

I have never used pure SAAs but the Survivor Detagler is has a slilcon serum consitancy but it does not have silicon in it. It's an oil blend but it's not oily. My hair loves it. I would not use it to replace Chi Silk because that's a heat protectant. Survivor does not state its a heat protectant nor would I use it as such. It leaves the hair with a nice sheen and it makes the hair very soft and easy to comb through so it does detangle in that regard.

Atlanta...after my adventure w/Survivor yesterday and dried out ends today, I'd say the EQyss proprietary emollients stuffium ingredient is like mystery meat.
Doesn't act like oils at all... I'm thinking about adding some aloe to break it down somewhat before using it again.

Do you/or anyone think adding aloe to my mix will reduce the 'dried out ends' effect? I do not intend to use its all over my hair.

I do/did like the silkiness I felt immediately upon application...BUT....

TIA
