[A_Christian]

Hits: -Design Essentials Silk Essentials (A Serum)
-Design Essentials Reflections Liquid Shine
-Design Essentials Botanical Oils (Really good but I
still like Kera Care Essential Oils better)

Continuous Hits: -Kera Care Conditioning Creme Hairdress
(Still Softens edges and New growth very
well, it's definitely my favorite creme
hairdress)
-Kera Care Essential Oils (My absolute
favorite hair product, works very well on
ends, makes hair shiny, has a nice scent)
-Mizani Comfiderm Scalp Oil (Great for
relieving an itchy scalp)
-Biolage Daily Leave-In Tonic (Good for
combing through new growth and
moisturizing ends)

The jury is still out on: Mizani H20 Intense Night-Time
Treatment (Has a nice scent,
and is easy to apply because of
the creme consistency, but it
does not seem to be as
softening as the Kera Care
hairdress, so the verdict is
still out on this one)

No misses yet

I forgot to add another hit: Redken Smooth Down Line. SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

 

[MissB]

Chaya,

My scalp is itching a little bit off and on. Normally, when I use products with salicylic acid my scalp itches like crazy. I thought the Smooth Down would be okay since it wasn't one of the first 4 ingredients. I guess I was wrong!

Since I am on the product junkie challenge, I am enjoying using up my present stock and "re-visiting" old products!! I've also discovered that I could probably go the whole year w/o buying any more conditioner!! And I think I have enough leave-in conditioner to last 2 years!!

Hits.....
All the information that I got from the LHCF. This has been wonderful.

~Aphogee Treatment (I have used this before)
~Aphogee Reconstructor ( I have used this before too and
stopped. I am back now because it brings results)

~The idea of apply a moisterizer to wet hair to seal the moisture. Excellent.

The smell of the Aphogee Treatment
The cost of the Dominician Shops in the DC area.
Conditioner Washes (It leaves my hair so dry)

Misses:

-Using TOO MUCH Sta-Sof-Fro for the above process.

Elucence M-Shampoo, MB conditioner.....I want to try the relaxer but I'm a little nervous about it.

Where do you purchase Salerm leave-in?

[sassygirl125]

I bought a bunch of new things this month, but I haven't been able to fit them into my ever lengthening rotation yet.

But I pressed a few sections of hair with Ultra Sheen Satin Creme Press Lotion and I know it's a hit. So is the Jumbo Rake Comb from hairsense.com.
