myronnie, I guess they think people are stupid...lol...FAIL. I am so over this shipping mess with some of these companies.

Hit: LACE Naturals Ayurvedic Spritz
I revisited this for my havana twists refresher spray and really like it. I don't like her $7.00 shipping though.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

@EnExitStageLeft @TeeBee I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't cornroll. I'm just now getting the hang of flat twists smh. Style challenged.

FA' LIFE!

 

[myronnie]

NaturallyATLPCH yes, I don't think shipping prices are that common knowledge. I'll give her a pass because she refunded the difference and she's on etsy which has flat shipping charges for items.

 

[KinkyRN]

MISS: Using Candy Curls leave in and Styler on my hair when I know my hair hates Shea Butter!! Now my hair is mad as H$%L at me. I am officially purging all items out of my stash with Shea Butter in the first 5 ingredients. Learned my lesson!!

HIT

• Claudie’s Hair Revitalizer Kpangnan Coconut Hydrating Deep Conditioner (thank you again NappyRina). Left my hair extremely moisturized. I don't detangle with my DC so I don't usually look for slip in my DC but this does have pretty decent slip.
• That first wash after you've straightened and all your curls spring back, no heat damage in sight

MISS

• The heavy scent of Claudie’s Hair Revitalizer Kpangnan Coconut Hydrating Deep Conditioner. I will get a few jars of this during BF but will get the unscented version
• Straightening my natural hair. I've fully come to the realization that straight hair just is not for me. I simply do not enjoy it. The most I'll be doing for a while is blowing my hair out, I don't anticipate that I will straighten my hair again for a LONG time.

Claudie's Products are Great. Just request them in unscented.

MAJOR HIT
Hairitage Hydration Cocoaloe Hair Hydrator

This may just be my new staple moisturizer. I used this, sealed with my whipped shea butter and my twists are unbelievably soft. Not sure if I should credit this or the Claudie's DC I used last night but my hair is singing praises

 

[myronnie]

Hit:
Soultanicals Knot Sauce mixed with water and some aloe vera juice
GREAT detangler. VERY VERY good. I haven't been able to comb my hair without snags for a good minute since it's got longer and I was able to comb when using this mix as a spray! I'm happy I finally found a great use for it because I didn't like knot sauce as a straight leave-in but diluted it is great!!! I guess I'll be repurchasing :/

 

[Froreal3]

^^^Just make sure you order at least two months in advanced myronnie

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Omgosh my Soultanicals just came yesterday! And I think I did order probably 2 months ago lol. I got the knot sauce and the detangling slip which I haven't even smelled or used. And also the marula muru and that stuff has this smell to it that I can not pin point and it doesn't smell good either. I dk maybe I'm just used to all the bakery smells in my products lol. And the consistency was very runny. It's thickened up some but am I supposed to mix it b4 every use? As I do see oil settling at the bottom of the jar.

Froreal and Hairpleezegrow
Man ya'll are making me not want to purchase from her again and just make my own detangling spray...
I thought the marula was supposed to be thick and buttery
Here is a blog with a couple pics of the consistency:

My product consistency looks nothing like that.

 

[myronnie]

natura87 I would email her and ask if she reformulated the marula. Maybe it melted in transit?

Its not fluffy...not even whipped...creamy but not fluffy at all. Meh. I'll just use it and chock it up as a loss.

HIT:
Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Aloe Thickening Growth Milk--this is awesome on wet hair, dry hair, any hair. It makes my hair so moisturized and shiny. I bought one during the BOGO at CVS, but quickly went and bought two more, before the sale ended.

Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque--using this as a leave-in gives my fine hair great definition.

Komaza Olive Oil Moisture Mask--rich and creamy moisturizing mask for my fine, natural strands.

ACV rinses--revisited favorite

Eating skittles as I type this out

MISS:
Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque as a DC--no slip, no moisture, no nothing.

None of my CVS's having the SM Purfication masks as a BOGO

Hauling products I have never used before . It is so inconvenient to get products from companies that don't ship to Canada, I just buy a lot and hope for the best. I am not going to do that any more. I am going to bother with vendors that ship to me.

Froreal3

It felt waxy putting it on my hair and it didn't feel like I put any product on it. I used it on my hands and it didn't do anything there as all.

 

[Kindheart]

Hit: This is probably the least popular Afroveda product but Power Oasis just rescued my dry ,knotty hair . i feels moisturized and silky. Good stuff

Miss:Fantasia IC gel ,this doesnt do anything for my hair ,it literally disappears after half an hour.Useless on my frizzy halo too .

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Kindheart

I have a Jar of this in the Fridge aka Fruit Cocktail. It has amazing ingredients. I can't wait to use it.

Based on the ingredients alone I know I will love it.

Thank you for the Review.
