What worked wonders for others but did nothing for you?

[Glib Gurl]

There is almost nothing sadder than readnig rave reviews about a product and then trying it yourself only to realize that it is just not for you.

When have you had this experience?

For me, it was ORS Replenishing Pak. I wanted to love this stuff. Unfortunately, even though it made my hair feel like butta, I couldn't use it because it made me itch.

Also, BT didn't do anythign for me . . . I wish it did, though. I still have my container sitting right on my bathroom counter because I know sooner or later new testimonies will start popping up and I'll be itching to give it another try.

What about you?

BB Growth Serum .... HATED IT!

 

[sexyeyes3616]

Boundless Tresses- Didnt see increased growth
Salerm 21- My hair felt really thick after i blow dryed it. Maybe its because it should only be used with rollersets.

 

[charmtreese]

Airdrying---did absolutly nothing for me.

Coconut oil & Vatika oil---made my hair hard.

EVOO---just sat on my hair, and ran down my scalp on to my neck and down my forehead.

Cheapy Conditioners---don't penatrate my strands, therefore they do nothing for me.

NTM just didn't give me that moisture factor as a leave-in like it did for others

Lacio Lacio: I wanted to love this stuff like so many others do, but it just didn't do anything for me

Una (La) Bomba Conditioner & Rinse That stuff made my hair as dry as a wild fire out in california

It may work for you. It's cheap so you should try it. My hair hated it.

 

[paparazzi]

Amla oil - coated my hair, leaving it feeling dry; couldn't stand the smell either

LOL ..... ME TOO SMELLS LIKE CHEAP PERFUME !

 

[MissLawyerLady]

ORS pack- smell was too strong and made my throat itch and it didn't do anything special for my hair

Elasta QP Mango Butter- whatever!

There are others but those 2 stand out the most.

Henna didn't go well the first time, but Ima give it one more chance.

 

[Aggie]

For me ORS replenishing pack.
