2) nature's gate hemp
3) yes-to-cucumbers
4) garnier fructis triple nutrition
5) suave professionals almond & shea butter

honorable mention goes to ceramide oils (sunflower, hempseed, walnut) :):):)

2. Amla/Maka/Brahmi herbal paste treatment once a week
3. Suave Almond and Shea Butter conditioner
4. Herbal Essences Hello Hydration

5)Nu Ade Super Hair Oil
 
1. Henna
2. Oil Rinsing
3. Lady Ps DMM
4. Ceramides (WGO, walnut oil, sunflower oil, etc.)
5. Juicing all year round even living in DC! (it's ok, really!)
 
1) BUNS!!!
2) vo5 champagne kisses conditioner
3) oils- all of them except wheat germ and evoo
4) hair sticks :)
5) home grown steam trentments
 
1*. S-CURL, lovin' da juice for life!! :luv2: If I didn't switch over to this, I know I'd only see half the progress I have now!

2. Roller Setting allows me to have that sleek look without running for my flatiron every time I get all fancied up. Before LHCF I would flat iron every second day. :blush: Just after I started my journey, I would flat iron once a month. With rollersets, I don't even really need to flatiron anymore, except for those real length checks or when I'm strapped for time.

3. Hemp Seed oil has replaced my coconut oil, making my new growth so much easier to manage. Ceramides FTW!

4. Nexxus Humectress is my staple deep conditioner. It's easier to find (and cheaper!) than Kenra and practically does the same thing.

5. RedKen Smoothing Serum has replaced my Chi Silk Infusion. It's much lighter and doesn't leave that greasy feeling even if you accidentally overuse it. Great for my noob-rollersets!


*Technically, the real number one is LHCF itself! Thanks ladies!
 
I actually had to seriously think about this one. I didn't want to give things credit they don't deserve. Because of that, I don't actually have five things-only two with one honorable mention.

In this order...:)

1. Organic Texture My Way Lotion

2. Overnight prepoo with EVOO

Honorable mention: Softee Indian Hemp. Honorable because it's not really new to 2010. I used it for a long time when I first bc'd in '07. Also, I just started using it on my ends, and I am liking these results.
 
1. Caruso steam rollers
2. Abba pure moisture shampoo
3. Ao rosa mosqeta conditioner
4. Joico kpak protein treatment
5. Jane Carter nourish and shine

Honorable mention: ao honeysuckle rose is a tie but I had to stick with five!
