@shawnyblazes The first thing that came to mind is how juicy your twist out is. I see I wasn't alone with my thoughts

An On The Fence Turned MISS:
Bekura Cocoa Bark Conditioning Hair Mask - This really does nothing for my hair. It feels like it just sits there. I even clarified my hair today before using it and still it just sat there. I don't feel it penetrated my normal porosity hair so i can only imagine what it will do to low porosity hair. Jeesh! This is not a repurchase item at all

I know most people get success mixing the Bark and the Yam mask.

I mixed it with the YAM Nectar and I got a slightly better feeling. Truth is I don't think I like the Cocao Bark though. It smells nice but that's about it for me.
I do like the YAM Nectar though.

I will try Cacao both ways. Mixed with YAM and maybe mixed with Vanilla-Whiskey.
I think I have x2 Jars of Cacao? I think?
It gets mixed reviews. Either people really like it or they hate it.

Hair Dew has been my ride or die since I've been natural! I always keep some in my arsenal.

OYIN HAIR DEW doesn't wow me in the least bit. My hair always was Meh. Take it or leave in.
It was nice but not over the moon for me. Using the burnt sugar pomade made it better. It seems everyone tends to love it.

Hair Dew works the best as a dry moisturizer for me or restyling aid. I love how pliable it makes my hair.

I may give the hair dew another try a little later but like @shawnyblazes said, it didn't wow me either.

I haven't even broken out my Vanilla Whiskey as yet. It will be a minute before I get to it too because I want to use up the Terrene Fusions conditioners next. I need to see how they fare on my hair since I didn't like their detangling leave-in conditioner. I need to know what they are like so I can either add them to or cross them off my repurchase list.

I was not moved by it at all. Doggone shame because it's about $25 a jar.

Yeah, I can't keep forking over that kind of money just for mediocre results

I believe I might like the vanilla Whiskey as well. The YAM is a definite yes and of course the hair dew - I don't know. It seemed fine when I first used it but for some reason, it kinda left my hair almost dry. I don't know if it was caused by build up or not.
I think Oyin hair products have some beeswax in them so I probably should have clarified again to keep it working the way it did the first few times.

That's too bad about Cacao Bark.
The reviews are basically mixed on this product.
It will be a while before I get around to it because I'll have to open up a YAM, unless I mix it with Jakeala's Sweet Honey Hair Thang (which would be a lot cheaper to do) and I don't want to open up my YAM.
I'm tryna' hold on to my Bekura products because it is so overpriced.
Will try to pick up x2 Tonga Mousse and x1 Java Bean (that's how it's listed on my BF list right now).

Ooooh @IDareT'sHair,

I love FDS unscented. .I definitely prefer the Lotus Flower as far as ingredients and style.
Lotus Flower is a liquid wash while Down There is bar.soap (I don't know if she made it a wash yet because I didn't repurchase it).
APB feminine products made my mom, who was a die hard FDS and Summers Eve user, switch to the APB products. For me, that was endorsement enough right there cause my momma will hunt through Wal-Marts and grocery stores across a city for her favorite FDS and SE products.
That lady don't play when it come to her feminine products

It was nice but not amazing the first time I bought it in 2013. Used the whole bottle and didn't plan on repurchasing. I revisited & I love it now

I used Oyin Hair Dew on damp hair and then braided my hair. Once dry, my hair was very defined, soft & shiny. I haven't tried it as a dry hair moisturizer but will. As much as I love Bekura Honey Latte, I'm thinking Oyin Hair Dew is better. I give it a few more wash days before finalizing that opinion though.

That Vanilla Whisky is good. Left my hair very soft yet strong. I won a jar in a giveaway a while back and have intentions on purchasing more. During a good sale though, because that price hike wass not the business.

The vanilla whiskey was actually a gift from a friend maybe 3 years ago. And I still have it. I would definitely repurchase. I use it on my ends since they were subjects to direct and indirect heat (no damage, just needs love and it's still a relaxed habit I haven't broke) and I love it more than SSI Okra. After using the cacao bark, I realized I used it before and hated it; don't know how I forgot and had the nerve to repurchase and relive that experience. YAM is a keeper, but I don't really need to keep as much.
I also feel if I have to mix all of that together to make the cacao bark decent, it's just not worth it.
Last, the same friend complained to me recently that Bekura (she actually said her name but idr) has a lot of nerves raising her prices on mediocre products

Yeah. I can't really enjoy them because I don't wanna hafta' replace them.....
if that makes sense?
I did manage to get a Vanilla-Whiskey in a swap with another Poster, so that was nice. I think I may have x2 of the following: YAM, Cacao?, Tapioca, Whiskey-Vanilla.
I know I'll have to use them sooner or later. I don't want them to go bad.
I tend to do the same thing with Curl Junkie. I hold on to it way too long because it's so cost prohibitive to replace.

Nothing in this line for me is a real "must have" so I don't know why I continue to buy it.
