Coconut oil

Miss

Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol (Just awful! /images/graemlins/angry2.gif It made my hair hard as can be and turned it into tangle city.) /images/graemlins/wallbash.gif
 
I recently purchased:

Carol's Daughter Hair Milk and Healthy Hair Butter - they are ok. Rather waxy, IMO. I will try them again.

Pantene Pro-V Instant Defense Heat Protector Spray - again, I am not sure. I did, however, like the way my hair combed out when I applied it.

I almost forgot about WGO. Was not impressed. I should have known better, given that my hair does not respond to oils.

Perhaps that is also why I am lukewarm in my opinion re: the Carol's Daughter products.

Hit Elasta QP mango butter : applied to wet hair creats nice clumpy curls,
Clairol Re newal 5 X daily nourishment leave in creme coditioner: made my hair REALLY soft and shiny similar to Salerm 21,
BIG hit: Miracle worker by Hawian silky it makes my curls soft so soft that when the wind blows my afro goes in which ever way the wind is going only to spring right back into nice bouncy curls when the wind is over.

Nexxus :1 tube of biotincreme emptied into 1/2 bottle of surge makes my scalp tingle and I see the new grey hair in the front comming in like crazy along with side burns where it drips.

Miss: nioxin actives cleanser
Pantene light weight conditioning foam
Both made my hair dry and crunchy, dot stiff but like raw wool /.
 
Hits

Redken Smooth down Butter Treat: great for smoothing, moistursing and detangling.

Better Braid unbraid: good detangling properties

Global choice Actiwave Lotion: for defining and moistursing texturized/curly heads.

Misses

Tried LUST again fo the second time. The results were terrible left with hard, dry, tangled and silicone coated hair.
 
No hits or misses. I'm so proud of myself I haven't bought a single hair product since the beginning of July. I'm tempeted to say I have been cured of my PJism
 
I forgot one:

Hit:
Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker Curl Activator. It works just like like S-Curl spray, but it smells like strawberries. /images/graemlins/lick.gif FYI: Mineral oil is the 7th of 11 ingredients.

(They must have changed the name. My bottle says Miracle Worker, not Working. But other than that, the packaging is exactly the same.)
 
Hits: Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo and Moisturizing Conditioner...I used the samples I ordered before getting my hair braided, and I couldn't believe how soft and manageable my hair was during and after using both Kenra products! I especially love the texture of the Moisturizing conditioner!!!!!!

Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo
Kenra Intensive Emollient Treatment
Nexxus Emergencee
Nexxus Therappe Shampoo

Amla &amp; Shikakai shampoo-Found this in a Indian store


[/ QUOTE ]

I was going to boast about how I hadn't tried any new products this month. But I'm a junkie through and through /images/graemlins/nono.gif. Yesterday, while picking up wonderful Indian food for dinner I drifted over to my local Patel Brothers /images/graemlins/crazy.gif and bought this same poo along w/some light Dabur Amla Oil. I just needed a cheap poo since my bottles are all low /images/graemlins/look.gif.
