Hit: KeraVada oils for oil rinsing, pre-pooing and their AWESOMELY EXCELLENT customer service 
Continued Hit: WEN. That stuff is just all that. I can always depend on it.
Miss: Trying to find a substitute for the Hairitage Hydrations Soft Coconut Marshmallow. It is very hard to find a moisturizer that is not too heavy or greasy for my fine natural strands. And this was it. My hair likes ingredients like marshmallow, and slippery elm
And it smelled so good. But I refuse to use that vendor. So my search continues 
I thought that there was another Etsy vendor that had a similar product. But I cannot remember them, nor find the product on the site.

This use to be great and now it's crap. I see she changed from btms to behentremonium chloride. Now the lotion does not work in my hair anymore.

Blackeyes, that's understandable! The cocoa vanilla is hard to beat in terms of moisture. Maybe the coconut is more protein-y because of the coconut milk?
A hg hit that I just had to mention again: I LOVE Curly kinks coil jam..I hope they never stop making this stuff man! My hair looks great using it for twists and twist-outs! The shine factor is great even when I don't use oil to seal it. The hold is a bit stiff but softens up nicely with moisturizer. I was going to take pics but I'm still shy about posting pics..

Techniques:
Oil Rinsing....is the bomb.com, loving the ease of detangling, the decrease of shedding and the shine my hair has.
Co-Washing.......My new growth is coming quickly but is still quite soft
Rollersetting....My ends thank me
Products:
Nene's Secret Leave In Conditioner....got a bunch of free hair samples and a full size bottle at the hair show a few weeks ago. It really moisturizes my hair without weighing it down. It gives it a nice shine. My hair feels really good and the scent is little perfumey but not bad.
African Healing Oyl........another free sample from the hair show. A quarter size is perfect for my oil rinses. It a little heavy but it rinses out completely. My hair is instantly soft and detangles like a dream, plus it smells good. I probably won't use it on dry hair cause it is a heavy oil mixture.

IDareT'sHair I was rooting for her in the beginning but I mean that's just ridiculous. Clearly you need to adjust something in the way you handle your business.

I am praying it's not another IPN debacle. Using $ from new orders to fulfill existing orders (as someone else mentioned in another thread).
If that is the case, them kind of situations Schemes never end well for the vendor.
The frequent Sales w/o completely fulfilling orders from the last Sale leaves me to wonder tho'...........
I'm just glad most of the stuff didn't work for me personally.
Which was in sharp contrast to IPN almost everything but her Stank "attitude" worked well for me.

OMG. Nooooooooo. I did I get that miss in there? I hope I'm not jinxing her excellent customer service. Claudie has been an amazing vendor with me. I recently made a purchase, but I had some questions and some personal issues with the items I needed. We emailed each other back and forth until she shipped the items. And after she shipped it she let me know about the special labels on my items, and she caught that the website overcharged me for shipping. She told me about it with an apology and she promptly refunded my account. It was only 2$ but I really appreciate it.
Thanks for asking IDareT'sHair. I saw your post, so I went back to check what you were referring to. Then I saw my post. Girl I had a super busy week. You can see that I didn't post anything in the weekend thread. Thank god I'm going on vacation after Monday night.
I love claudie guys. Her normalizing conditioner is my holy grail product: strength, porosity correction, elasticity, super shine, little to no moisture, but enhances the effect of any moisturizing conditioner.

ronie, what does the bolded mean? It's not a moisturizing DC? Or, are you trying to say that it's balanced? I've never tried it.

MileHighDiva yes i meant balanced. My hair was highly porous and breaking until i started using this conditioner. I tried to correct my porosity with a few items like roux; i also worked hard at maintaining a proper protein\moisture balance. Nothing gave me results like this. My strands feel very smooth when twisting now, and they stopped sticking to each other like velcro. And the more i used it the less i needed it. I was doing it one to twice a week at first. Now it's only once or twice a month (if i've been miss treating my hair). Also, i used it alone after washing in the beginning. Never followed with anything. No great slip or moisture to talk about (at least not for my hard to moisturize 4c hot mess, lol), but my hair was very manageable. Now i can only use it as a prepoo, then wash and use either a moisturizing DC or rinse out. I'm guessing that now my porosity is normal it is acting more as a protein for me.
It has great ingredients: ceramides, hydrolyzed protein ( more than one, can t remember which. I love the stuff

Revisited hit: Miss Jessies Curly Meringue.
Forgot how great of a (seriously overpriced) styler this is. Used it for flat twist out on the front of my hair to blend with my wig. Great results and all day soft hold even in high humidity and running around all day. It's back on my Black Friday list
