Hits & Misses December 2014

[Pennefeather]

Miss: Aphogee keratin and green tea restructorer. It took me a while to determine that this was causing my hair to break - too much protein from using it once a week

 

[PJaye]

See, that's why I'm leery of buying things I can't find on the ground. I used to love ReVé Essentials and then they just up and quit. My feelings are still hurt from that.

I know what you mean. I still haven't recovered from the reformulation of Elasta QP's Creme Conditioning Shampoo. It blew a hole in my routine, and nothing comes close to matching the efficacy of the old formula.

 

[Desert Skye]

Miss: Le Kair Cholesterol Plus

My hair is having none of it. It left my hair hard. Lucky it was only 1.98 at Walmart. I will mix is with other conditioners. My hair seems to like Hollywood Beauty Cholesterol (the green one) better.

Revisited hit: Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer

I don't know why I stopped using this. I have a jar that I've been trying to use up by the end of the year so I've been applying it to my hair after dampening with water and Oyin juices and berries, sealing with grapeseed oil and putting my hair in chunky twists. Then I put a little more elasta qp on the ends, spray more juices and berries then seal with Oyin sugar berries pomade. My hair is buttery soft and moisturized. Now I don't want to finish the jar lol. This just might find it's way on the staples list.

Hit: Oyin Hair Dew & APB Leave In Conditioner

Both are great for keeping my hair moisturized under wigs.

 

[lalla]

HIT: M&S with Scurl & vaseline

 

[myronnie]

Hit:
Obia Curl Hydration Spray
Love this for spritzing my hair when it's loose. It makes my hair shiny soft and moisturized. My hair loves glycerin though (I am in FL). I'm so glad I got two bottles!

 

[CodeRed]

Hit: Getting closer to perfecting my relaxer application

Miss: Using Biolage Kertindose Shampoo. I've only used it a few times and I noticed that it was causing more hair to come out/break off... I stopped using it last week. I went through the relaxer process yesterday and why did I lose almost the same amount of hair during the WHOLE relaxer process as I did using that stupid shampoo? The hair catcher had almost the same amount of hair in it from my relaxer as it did when I shampooed/conditioned... Staying away from that stuff. It's worse than a chemical.

It's still a very good moisturizing shampoo, but the old formula was magical.

 

[FelaShrine]

lol PJaye IDareT'sHair whats the ingredient list for the 3rd formulation

 

[lavaflow99]

Hit:
Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil Hydrating Conditioner as a cowash. I am 22 weeks post (longest stretch over) and combing my new growth in the shower is a breeze. And hair loss is significantly less than when I am 15-16 weeks. Love this stuff!!

 

[bronzephoenix]

Miss: using pink magnetic rollers for a roller wrap. Next time I'll use larger ones.

Hit & Miss: OGX Quenched Sea Mineral Moisture Moisture Surge Deep Treatment

Today was my first time using this to dc and I love/hate it. My hair was easy to detangle even though it wasn't dripping wet. It was extremely moisturized and soft when I washed it out. The only problem is the smell. It smells like a cheap "island breeze" air freshener. I normally use the SM raw shea butter masque but decided to try this because I had it in a bag of unused products. I like it but I'll need to mix it with oils or a better smelling conditioner to finish the tube. The moisturizing capabilities make it a definite hit but the smell makes it a miss. Not sure if I'll repurchase.

 

[nmartin20]

MilkChocolateOne - It matters to me, because I want to know what was changed in the formulation as I asked nmartin20. Holla Nice Review. Thank you.

Misses
Hairveda Whipped Clouds
Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair

Great ingredients, but too thick for my lopo hair

 

[IDareT'sHair]

nmartin20

Extremely helpful thanks.

I see the 'new' version has both Orange Extract & Orange Oil (which may be something I need to avoid altogether).

Try adding honey to it. That's what I do to thin out thick conditioners

The old and new version of sitrinillah both have orange oil and orange extra.

 

[Saludable84]

So far Keracare Humecto is treating me good. I'm getting my hair straightened today so we shall see if it passes the real test.

Maybe it hasn't changed too much then?

 

[Pennefeather]

ronie -Your comments are the first on here that I am reading where someone else said it did nothing for their hair. Every other comment made it seem like the second coming of conditioners! As I slathered this mess on, I felt like a fool thinking maybe after I rinse I'll feel the softness. Then as the water got cold, I kept thinking any minute now it'll kick in. Nada. A fool! I even wondered if it was a fake since I didn't get it from the original supplier. It was the WORST conditioner I had EVER used. Even 99cent store no name cheapie do something more than this. Hoodwinked!


I hope that I have better results with the sitrinillah than you have Holla and ronie. My first jar arrived this week, and I'm going to try it for the first time tomorrow.

 

[ronie]

It works for a lot of people. So chances are you will get great results with it. Good luck.
