Lakshmi Naturals- I just felt it was too much money and not cost effective.
Devacurl- I give up.

Natural, 3abc/4a, Fine, medium density
Aussie Moist- makes my hair dry
Alikay Naturals- didn't do anything for me. I used to really like her oil, but I make a better one.
Suave- makes my hair dry
VO5- makes my hair dry
Ouidad- hated it!
DevaCurl- Meh, way too expensive to be meh
Any gel wax pomade- a waste of money
Combs- My hair is so fine that they rip through my hair no matter what I do. Finger detailing is working for me.
Nature's Gate- No longer needed. I'm using the rest of the product to clean my wigs.
I still have a few Black Friday purchases I need to try (Obia, APB), so this list may change.

I forgot about Natures Gate - yep, yep. Had to toss that to the side.
I forgot about Burt Bee's. Oh My. That stuff and my nose did not get along.
I may need to follow you. Our hair may be related.

Lol right me too. I don’t know 90% of these brands mentioned lolYou ladies have ruled out products I haven't even heard of.

I think I'm pretty much done with most natural hair brands. They cost way too much per ounce, and none have worked any miracles for me. My mom persuaded me to buy As I Am's DC, and I felt like a giant sticking my fingers into that miniature jar. And It was just okay. $18 to get two mediocre conditioning sessions. Enough is enough. I'm going to start buying bulk bases and add my own bells and whistles. For now I'm keeping Oyin Hair Dew, KCKT, and KCCC, but they aren't safe either.

I have a question.
Is soultanicals still selling her items in tar.get? I was reading on FB that some were finding her items on clearance?

Well I left quite a few brands already but this year I am leaving behind:
Shea Moisture (I dabbled a little last year but I'm closing that door)
KJ Naturals (her stuff doesn't wow me)
Soultanicals (horrible execution, products are just meh)
Sarenzo (even though I have enough of her things to get me through, I'm not sure if I will continue supporting since APB's body things are just as good)
Mielle (her stuff was just meh also)
Lakshmi (decent things but I do not need them)
I am sure I'll add more to this list.

My hair turns out weird with them to justify the cost.

Shea Moisture has BEEN out. None of their products do a single solitary thing for my hair. I don't even understand how they got so wildly popular.

I wholeheartedly agree! @ElevatedEnergy has motivated me to use the commercial products I have, then make my own. I'm paying attention to what my hair likes as it concerns the commercial products, so I an make a more natural product that has the same attributes. I want to eliminate 90% of the commercial products I have right now. The only products I can see sticking around... you know what, none of my products are HG status, so they are all holding on by a thread.

Yep. I'm done. I had this idea years ago during the Afroveda "scandal". Their products were popular and they were just adding a couple things to premade bases. Charging $20 for 8oz, when the base was $20 for 64oz. Ridiculous. The natural companies that are working off their own recipes are still getting over. We are paying good money for different arrangements of shea butter, natural oils, and aloe vera juice. Lol

I am sure there are more but these are brands where I have tried several products and none of them did anything for my hair.
If I try any new products, it will not be natural brands. My hair has had luck with only one natural brand — Silk Dreams. @Supergirl must be putting unicorn tears in her products or something. Hehe.

What's wrong with Joico?
It sucks...IMO.

Singin’ the praises of the baggy method
Camille Rose — performance don’t match the cost
Texture Me Naturals- good products, terrible customer service
Of course, this is just based on my hair (in respect to CRN). I’m not one to completely bash a brand just because their products don’t work for me, especially if it has been proven to work for many. I dislike generalized statements about products — hair care or otherwise

It’s actually my only favorite item from this line. I would love to keep using them, but I’ve replaced it with APB for many reasons. It is definitely a good item.

Her products are good, I just do not need them. At this point if Hattache doesn't sell it (stylers especially) I will not get it.

Whats wrong with them.
Shea Moisture for me. Tried a couple of things from the Jamaican Castor oil line and my hair feels straw like and my hair thrives on proteins. Since I have to finish the products before replacing I'm having to use a water and olive oil mix and it as a sealant instead of a moisturiser.
Trying out a new organic product line afterwards so will see if my go-to changes

The results I get don’t justify the premium cost.

Well...*cough* I am keeping everybody.
There are things I like from the folks I buy from. On a Good Sale I am subject to dibble-dabble in some lines that may not be always on my radar.
So, I am not letting anybody go! I'm keeping everybody close. If you're in my Stash, you are in there for a reason.
I may not buy a lot from certain vendors or all the time, but there is room for everyone in my Stash.

*I have completely revamped my regimen and am solely using oils, a curl cream or gel for styling. That's it. I have waaaaaayyyy less buildup, more bounce and less manipulation.
I have also found the best and greatest products ever in Phyto, Rene Furterer and Olaplex. I still have my staples from Bekura, APB and Natty Naturals but that's about it. I found what works best for me. Phyto and Olaplex have changed my hair life.
