HIT Happy Nappy Honey Pink Hibiscus DC This DC is seriously chocked with oils and butter (no water). I think this DC will work best for naturals or those who are relaxed and want to stretch.

Detangling was "ok" u prefer much more ease but it still worked out.

I'm relaxed and it had my new growth poppin. It's too heavy for my fine hair so going forward, I will mix this with another DC to obtain desired results. I had to cowash this DC out bc my strands were too covered with oils and butter. I also intend to use this as a sealer on my ends.

Will I repurchase it again... YES

During her BF sale.

Got my BonBons Cheveux bonnets. They are cute and well-made. I have a regular one and the dc'ing one (hard candy).

I should have gotten extra roomy or the drawstring option for the sleep one. If my hair is big, it might not fit under it.

I'm wearing the sleep bonnet. The elastic is tight, I hope it loosens up. It's tight on my forehead and the base of the back of my head.

I did wash my hair tonight but I didn't use the hard candy bonnet. The elastic stops right before the rim and elastic part. I'm finishing up some disposable caps. The plastic lining looks nice and thick on the bonnet. I usually have face mask/treatment on while my hair is dc'ing, so I was worried that it would get on the bonnet. But I think it will be okay if I pull the bonnet farther back on my forehead.

That stuff is pretty good. Not cold enough for me to break out the pomaded and butters yet.

The elastic on my BonBons bonnet was too tight last night. I was happy to take it off this morning. Sigh why didn't I get the drawstring one instead? I'll have to catch another sale for drawstring (prob w/extra roomy option) or try another vendor.

I think I'll sell it on the exchange forum.

I'll keep the hard candy one. I'll be fine since it's only for dc's.

Anyone know other vendors that sell drawstring bonnets?

ETA: If I order from BonBon again, I'll get one without an bow and with the shiny material on the inside. It is too shiny for me and the bow is cuter on the model than me lol.

Glad that I ordered another one during the black Friday sale. My hair has been super dry from coloring and this stuff seems to do the trick.

 

[Froreal3]

KinkyRN Almond Glaze is great for sealing. It's just like that good ol grease your mama used to use...but smells way better.

prettyinpurple, I STAN for EboniCurls bonnets, there's no elastic. She uses drawstrings, so you can adjust it for comfort. Also, they are roomy.

They stay on while sleeping and it's comfortable. In addition, there's no tugging or rubbing on your edges, hairline, or nape. Ebonicurls.com

ETA: I ordered a hard candy from Bonbons Cheveux to test drive, during the BF sale.

ETA2: All of Eboni Curls bonnets are double lined.
