Melaninhaircare
Black soap shampoo. Dehydrated my hair. I think I'll give it away
Deep conditioner- Meh. No hydration. Hair just felt strong. Needed to follow-up with a hydrating conditioner.

Aestelance
Mud mask . I only left it in 3 minutes in the shower. My hair felt amazing. Expensive as hell, but an investment.
Hydrate leave in. Glycerin is the 2nd ingredient. My hair loves glycerin.. and it loves this conditioner. When I was relaxed I used the balm leave-in. As a natural this one is better.
My twists are drying soft and juicy.

SheScentIt Plum Nectar & Agave Leave-In & Styling Yogurt: Very moisturizing. I have thick, collarbone-length hair and I don't need a lot to cover my entire head. I don't like using it alone for twist-outs as it doesn't have enough hold for that, but it defines the hair beautifully so it's excellent paired with a mousse or gel for a wash-n-go.
Mielle Organics Pomegranate and Honey Curl Defining Mousse and The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam: reviewing these two together because I've compared them multiple times, and seen extremely similar results each time. With the right curl creams, I get medium hold, soft wash-n-go's with these mousses. The Doux is slightly more elongating, whereas Mielle clumps a bit better. Both give me a good amount of volume.

Phillip Kingsley products I tried today. Not worth the money. The only moisturizing product was the extreme moisture conditioner on wash out.
hit.
my revair air for stretched hair in under 30 minutes. My whole head is just about 96% dry which is okay with me.

Continued hits:
Camille Rose Spiked Honey Mousse and Design Essentials Almond and Avocado Mousse
Adwoa Beauty Baomint and Blue Tansy Leave Ins
Using either leave in underneath either mousse has pretty much eliminated the need of a twisting cream for me. Which is great because I barely finished those anyway.

Adowa Mulberry hair conditioner lotion/spray. Too light for my hair. It's made for fine hair which mine is, but not enough moisture for me. It is pink in a pink bottle with pieces of fruit in it. Has a very fruity smell. Texture is a very light lotion

Thanks for sharing. Their IG stories got me pressed. Lol. Have you used Melanin Hair care's Leave in? I thought that was too light for me. Wondering if it's similar to that.

I would say it's about that or lighter. Love Adwoa but it's not for me. I think I'll use it up ad a refresher

I love melaninhaircare leave-in. I use it as a conditioner, cowash and leave-in. It is thicker than Adowa spray. Leaves my hair super moisturized.

Oh interesting. Now that you say it's lighter they did say it was a cream to spray product. Sounds like I should pass on it .
(can't make myself any promises lol)

SSI Plum Nectar and Agave Mayo & Adwoa Beauty Blue Tansy Serum
Both made my hair soooo soft this wash day! Will use less of the serum in the future as it's a bit oily.

Adowa Melonberry Hair milk
Its creamy but not moisturizing on dry/damp hair. For $24 I was expecting the cows to moo. I'll see how it performs on wet hair but not impressed.

Twelve12 Conditioner
I used the shampoo and after rinsing twice, this felt like butter in my hair.

This is very very nice upon using it a couple of times. It's too early to say if it's a hit yet, but it's looking very promising.

I didn't realize that it had a top like that until later lol. Used the plastic straw thing to get the serum. Lesson learned.

Melaninhaircare deep conditioner. I tried it with heat and Nope, no moisture. But it works well on my wig. Guess I'll use it for that and try it as a co-wash.

Ag hair Rose balm cream
Ag Hair coconut moisturizing hair spray.
Both make my gray hair on the sides and front soft. Adding these to my black Friday list.
Qhemet biologics coco detangling ghee. Oldie but goodie. First time my hair dried moisturized. Maybe this is my winter product.
Update: The qhemet didn't work when my hair was completely dry. It was a dry frizzy mess. I had to rewash my hair. It was only a sample. Trying the Moringa conditioner next time.

Curls and potions deep repair mask. As I wS putting this on, my hair felt like straw. After applying I checked the pH. It was 3.0. Way to low for a conditioner. My scalp started to burn. I immediately re washed my hair.
I bought the restore shampoo Conditioner and scalp drops as a bundle from Amazon. So everything goes back.
Currently sitting under heating cap with Amika Soulfood on. Hopefully this will put moisture back in my hair. Unfortunately C&P conditioners just don't work for me.

This Adwoa Blue Tansy line continues to be a hit! Their deep conditioner makes my hair so soft and the slip with water is great.
Adwoa Blue Tansy Shampoo and Melanin Shampoo continues to be amazing at cleaning my hair. The adwoa shampoo also makes my hair really soft.
Reaaaallly curious about the Adwoa Blue Tansy Leave-In now.

Do you have the Baomint one? To me performance wise they are the same. Blue Tansy is a thickums though. I like the smell of the blue tansy one better. For me, I won't need both in my stash but will continue with the blue tansy after I finished the Baomint one up.
