September 2017: Hits & Misses

• I waited until my hair was dry to feel it today and my hair is still soft and moisturized. Furthermore it softened my hair on contact. Right now I prefer it to Hairveda Sitrinillah. I bought a liter at the Soultanicals sale and will start using it when I run out of Sitrinillah.

• Oh gosh, this stuff. It doesn't mix as well with other things as Jamila. I mixed with two batches, one where I mixed everything at once and one where I mixed just the henna first then added conditioner the next day. I got a Lot of dye release with the batch that I added conditioner to the day after but essentially none in the batch I mixed all of at once.
• That would be fine, but it's also very mucinous and globby which makes it extremely difficult to spread onto my hair. Even if Jamila has a less intense dye release, I prefer the ease of use.

Thank you for talking about this henna. I'm assuming it's the one from Henna Sooq? I think it is very expensive even though it is Rajasthani henna. I just don't get the cost of this thing. It was definitely cost prohibitive for me .

Yup, that was the henna.

I never tried the new Komaza protein treatment since they reformulated it so I can't compare those. But APB's treatment is far superior to both Shescenit's Okra and repair mask in my opinion.

Miss now: Naturelle Grow's Thick and Rich DC
I have been keeping it in the fridge to preserve it and heat it before I apply. I don't think this is good for it because when I finally took it out to use it, it had no slip and application was difficult. I'm going to have to keep them at room temperature because they apply better. This will slow down my need to hoard because I don't want anything to go bad.

That Thick and Rich was awful on my hair as well. I will never buy it again. Now that Vanilla Fig DC, that conditioner is bae. I already convo'ed them to find out if it will be available during BF and the answer is yes. It is not available on the site now however.

Hit:
Buying Oyin's Hair Dew in the L size. For some reason, the L size doesn't have that overpowering sugar smell the smaller bottles do and I am eternally grateful.

What? *ears perk up* Could that be a fluke?

I don't know but for once the scent didn't threaten to knock me over so I did a little dance of gratitude. I don't know why she has to put so much fragrance in her products.

It's an ugly fragrance too, like something has gone bad in the bottle. I have been mixing fragrance oils with my OHD to try and drown that nauseating smell. I'll watch out for more experiences similar to yours.

I think you may be on to something. I usually order a liter but missed the last sale. I ended up just getting a couple of 8ozs from Sally to tide me over. The smell is MUCH more powerful and the lotion is a tad bit thicker in the 8oz bottle. It doesn't bother me because I LOVE the smell but I could definitely tell the difference in fragrance strength and even consistency between the two sizes.
