Natural Product Hit or Misses for 4a/4b relaxed ladies

[kandi1280]

Hi ladies, I don't know if this has been done already or not I couldn't find it in the search. Feel free to send me a link so that I don't repeat info.

I'm a 4a/4b relaxed with very picky hair. I'd like to know what hit or misses other 4a/b relaxed ladies have had with 'natural' product vendors, so that I can have a general idea of liked products as opposed to the "ahhhh, not so much" ones. I'd rather experiment on products that seem to work on women with hair similar to mine. Who knows maybe this thread will show me a trend with these products on my hair type?

These are the products I've tried recently (within the last 10 months).


Karen's Body Beautiful
Hits:

Hair Milk - great moisturizer for buns twist outs
Hair Cream - great moisturizer for buns and twist outs
Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner - Very moisturizing love both
Hair Nectar- great when weariing my hair straight a little goes far

Misses:

Luscious Locks - Just OK, not worth the price for my hair
Hair Butter - Too heavy doesn't do much for me
Hair oil - Just OK, I can mix my own that works just as good for cheaper
Herbal Shampoo and Conditioner - They work well but I just add a tablespoon of baking soda on shampoo and do ACV rinse when I want to clarify. So not worth the price for me.

Shescent it
Hits:

Moisture Mist Spray - Light mist is ok when sealed with oil when hair is down or for buns and twist outs.

On the fence:

[/b]Green Grape leave in - does the same thing as moisture mist but has more cones in it.[/b]

Misses:

Seyani Hair Butter - KBB's hair butter moisturized my hair better

Hydratherma Naturals
Misses:

Moisturzing growth lotion - was too heavy and made my hair hard
follicle invigorator - made my hair hard.

Carol's Daughter
Everything was a miss, my hair just doesn't take to her stuff AT ALL.

I'm interested in Qhemets Biologics hit or misses and Oyin too. But any 'natural' product hit or misses is welcome again, for the 4a/b relaxed hair type.

I would really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks!!

Thanks ladies,

I've been really thinking about ordering Qhemet's again because it's been a while since I've ordered from them and I actually liked the few products I tried from them a few years back. I'm really not even sure why I stopped ordering from them?

Bumping, Keep them coming!

Jason Sea Kelp Conditioner
Jason Henna Highlights Conditions
Ayurveda powders (Amla, Brahmi, Fenugreek, Shikakai, Hibisucus, and Maka)

Hairveda's Vatika Frosting, Amla shampoo, Cocasta Oil and the Moist Condition protein treatment are hits for me. The Sitrinillah DC was a MISS for me.

Another hit for me is Njoi Creations: ayurvedic hair butter, nourishing pomade, sweet coconut pomade and her coconut hair butter.

Jasmine's Shea Butter rinse is AMAZING. My hair loves it! I also like her shampoo.

I used some Ayurvedic powders today and they worked really well with my hair.

I like the Coco cream leave in from SheScentIt.

I really havent had too many misses.

I'm looking for comments/reviews on Oyin Juices and Berries from relaxed heads.

 

[NIN4eva]

Thanks for much for this thread! I started my hair journey with EVCO, it was my all purpose go-to and my hair LOVED it. Then a few months later I found that it breaks me out horribly. So now I'm just kinda lost. I've been using EVOO hot oil treatments, but it's been too heavy for anything else.

 

[Daughter]

Hits:

Unrefined shea butter for twisting my hair
A small amount of coconut oil for sealing from time to time
Good old glycerine and water in my spray bottle
Elasta Olive Oil and Mango Butter - I tried it a long time ago, couldn't remember what it was like, tried it again last week and it's definitely a keeper!

Misses
Not really very many that I can think of, I don't try very many products.

I've just recently got my first bottle of JBCO, will give it a try after tonight's shampoo
