With Love & Silk
I tried some new things over the past few weeks. I thought I would share my thoughts. I left each one in for at least 15 minutes with no heat, but with a shower cap and turbie twist. (so we'll say body heat)
Ojon Ultra Hydrating Conditioner
I know many on the board (according to my searches) like this. I've wanted to try it for a long time. It has a good ingredient list. The smell is rather unique. It's not a bad smell, but not necessarily a smell I'd want to walk around with. It's not subtle either.
It's a medium-creamy consistency. I can't say that there was much slip. It left me with a lot of detangling work to do. Sometimes this isn't the case if a conditioner is left on for a shorter amount of time. So, don't count it out because of this if you are interested in trying it. I also believe it was time for me to clarify when I used this so this could have been part of the detangling issue as well.
My hair dried feeling slightly coated. (maybe because I needed to clarify) This conditioner passes my moisture test with a C.
I will not repurchase this. In fact, I am going to return it. Main reasons are because of the scent and the price tag($22)--I have used better products for less $$.
Sexy Hair Concepts Pumpkin Masque
This masque is all the rave on Makeupalley. It is thick and a bright orange/peach color. It smells really nice too. There is nothing that really stands out to me in the ingredient list, but the product is not choc full of cones or anything like that. It does contain pumpkin puree and a protein which I think is soy protein.
The slip was good, not "my hair could comb itself" good, but not much effort was needed to detangle afterwards.
This one passed my moisture test with a B-. I don't think this would become a staple of mine. It didn't do anything amazing or extraordinary for $25. YES $25! It was fun to try, but I'll be returning this also.
Avon Planet Spa Shea Butter Masque
I was expecting great things from this masque. I have been eyeing it on their website for a while. I ordered two of them. I loved the consistency and the smell of the product. It has a subtle honey/butterscotch scent. It does have one cone in the ingredients, sixth on the list. The slip was decent, about the same as the Pumpkin masque.
So, how did it do? Well, this one fails my moisture test horribly. My hair didn't feel moisturized at all.
Humecto, which I don't really care for, moisturizes way better than this did. So, I won't be using this one again. It goes into the shaving cream conversion chamber! 
Regis Olive Oil Hair Masque
This is also another product that is highly raved over on MUA. So I decided to try it. I have heard of it for a while, but never desired to try it. Olive oil just doesn't turn me on. I prefer avocado oil over olive any day. It just so happens that in the ingredients of this masque, avocado comes before olive oil--how 'bout that! The product looks exactly like vanilla pudding, maybe slightly thicker. There are no cones in the product by the way, which I thought was pretty impressive. The smell is a nice, subtle fresh fruity smell like a fruit smoothie or something--not overpowering at all. Slip was moderate to good.
Well this one passed my moisture test with an A! I see myself being a repeat purchaser of this product.
I realize that I have become a very picky consumer when it comes to hair products. I have a PJ history and the more you've tried, the harder you are to please because there's so much to compare to.
ETA: How funny--I forgot to review one. (so obviously it was forgettable!)

The smell was good. It was a medium to thin consistency. It comes in a jar and seems to spread very well and so the jar would last a while. The slip was average. It did not pass my moisture test. (but I did need to clarify) I won't repurchase. There are comparable and better products that I can find without having to order on line.
