What new products have you tried lately?

[Afrocurls]

I recently tried Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose conditioner and I really like it (I'm super late because this was the first time I've gone to Whole Foods and they had it in stock).

It's really thick, which ya'll know I love. It doesn't give much slip, but it makes my hair super soft!

I also am trying Mixed Chicks' Leave In Conditioner. It's actually similar to the AO Honeysuckle Rose, in that it doesn't really give slip either but it makes my hair soft.

This morning I washed, detangled with my Aveda brush (took like 10 minutes!), smoothed with the Denman and put it in a ponytail. It smells great, it's soft, and it's kinda bushy curly. I like it! I may do this in the summertime.

I recently tried Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner.  That stuff is the truth!  Excellent slippage for detangling and it gives good moisture too.  They need to make this stuff in bigger bottles though.  It has dimethicone towards the middle of the list, so depending on your hair you might have to watch out for buildup.  So far so good for me.  This just might become one of my new staples!

I'm loving HairVeda SitriNillah Masque Moisturizing Deep Conditioner.  It's expensive, but a lil goes a long way and my hair loves it..Very moisturizing!!!!
I also like the Moist Conditioner 24/7...Has great slip...A w-n-g staple!!!

Wasn't crazy about the Whipped Gelly, Herbal Green Tea Butter and Hydra Soft Spritz..
The WG left my hair crunchy, the HGTB had an awful smell and the HSS was sticky..
I added water to dilute the product, but it still left my hair sticky...I think it had too much
glycerin or something...Lol

I love the moist conditioner 24/7 also! The whipped gelly I don't use that often. Maybe to touch up 3 or 4 day hair, smooth down my edges etc. I've never used it after a fresh wash.

I have been loving Devacurl Mist-er right. I like it in between co-washes because it keeps my hair from looking dry and crunchy. New must have, though it's pricey

Komaza products

Califia Moisturizing Cream, Coconut Curl Cream - Very Disappointed with both of these products. When I opened both jars, the ingredients had separated. Oil floated on top of the creamy ingredients. I tried to be positive, I mixed the ingredients and attempted to use, but was thoroughly disappointed with the greasy results.

Wasted money, I will not reorder.

i recently bought two of the vo5 conditioners for cowashing...i think the scents were free me freeshia, and blackberry current(i'm not sure this name is correct, dont feel like looking)...they smell nice, and i bought them cuz i was getting bored with my trader joes conditioners...but i gotta admit, i dont like them...i think they make my hair have that squeeky dried out feeling...i'm much more satisfied with the moisture and softeness i get from my trader joes nourishing and tea tree tingle conditioners.

MOP C-System Moisture Complex for conditioning + detangling.  Excellent conditioner.  The smell and performance reminds me of Giovanni conditioners, except I had to rinse this one out.  As a leave-in, left my hair soft, but dull.

My Hairveda shipment arrived two days ago and I have been so busy and TIRED that I did not even bother to crack open the box.... now that is tired   

I hope I can get to it tonight or tomorrow, I ordered some of her new products along with my usual.  Shout out to BJ and her staff they sent me a 4.15 refund for my almond grease (it was sold out when I tried to purchase during the sale price). I call that good looking out.

I have been very satisfied with the hairveda products, I believe there are some improvements in this new batch so I have to try it and see what the change is

- Yes to Carrots (C is for Conditioner) and Hairveda Green tea hair butter.

These two togethor leave my hair crazy soft and pretty big hair as well- it's not even funny, I think I'm in love. I've been using the Yes to Carrots as a leave in and sealing with the green tea butter and it's a really nice combo for esp. with this dry heat in Vegas.

I'm totally loving the Giovanni Smooth As Silk Xtreme. It's there brand new "protein hair infusion". You can never go wrong with Giovanni!!! My hair is soooo shiny and silky ans soft! Plus I only use it after shampoos so it will last quite a while.

I will also be replacing my Giovanni L.A. Hair gel with their L.A. Hold hair spritz. I find that as my hair gets longer I only prefer gel around my edges and a light hold to my hair. I like my hair to move more freely and feel lighter. I've just got grown gel I guess. I achieve the same curl definition without it since my hair is healthier (thanks to all the tips on this message board--Thanks GUYS!!!)

Almost the entire Giovanni line is available at walmart!!!

Our food world is going out of business so all of their Giovanni products are marked down 50%

Ashkat, thanks for the info on Yes To Carrots.  I've seen it in Target and wondered what was up w it.

I tried a new product, Ellin LaVar Textures Deep Conditioning Leave In Penetrating Balm.  I got it on clearance @ CVS last year sometime and decided to try it since my hair is a little shorter now.  I was impressed from the first application.  I've used it a few more times and it's still a winner.

It has a thick/sticky/balmy consistency (kinda like clover honey), and a little goes a VERY long way.   It has good slip too.

I applied it to freshly washed and conditioned hair, alone -without a leave in- so I could see the true results of the product.  I really like the sheen, definition, and body I got w this and I'd definitely buy it again...even at regular price.
