After all of this have you discovered which products will be your staples...or are you still trying things out? |
Wow. I think my list is pretty long also. I have been natural 2.5 years. I think I left some stuff off but this is what I remember from the top of my head.

Mixed Chicks was not that bad. It did not dry my hair out like I anticipated. I think the Mixed Chicks has cones in it but it did not bother me. The only reason I did not repurchase is because Uncle Funky's Daughter Good Hair gave me the same results and I did not have to purchase online. |

[How did you like the Earth's Nectar stuff?[/quote]
Earth's Nectar is a good line if you do not like shea butter. Most of the products I used are oil based. To me, the Earth's Nectar Hair Conditioning Cream and Sculpting Butter were similar in smell and texture. The main ingredient is sweet almond oil. I prefer the Sculpting Butter though. It provided good hold for my twists. The Honey Curls worked ok. I liked it because it was all natural. I definitely like EcoStyler better. Their Monoi Hair Milk contains mainly coconut oil and it actually works good on my scalp. The Hair Gloss dried out my hair. The Mint Leaves scalp oil is good but for $18 for 4 oz, I am looking for something cheaper. I will more than likely repurchase the Sculpting Butter. |
WOW, your list is amazing.
|
So...these lists really made me want to go and buy some products. I must resist the urge!!! I just ordered a hair butter and gel from Koils by Nature after a 2-month break from buying products...so nothing else for me at this point. Do either of you typically use all of a product once you buy it or do you swap or throw away? I'm trying to minimize by using what's left of a product before I can buy something new, unless its just horribly wrong for my hair.

WOW! My list is as follow:
V05 conditioner KC Knot Today KC come clean Suave conditioner Palmer's Olive Oil Hair Milk African Shea butter Organix conditioner Giovannie Leave in conditioner Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap EVOO ecco styler gel |

I usually try to finish a product first but most of the times, I do not. If I do not like a product, I give it to my niece or one of my other natural friends. I just bought Darcy's Botanicals Tucuma Butter Moisture Whip and Peach Kernal hair butter because they were 50% off. I got them at a local shop. I was originally supposed to get some more Qhemet AOHC but they were out. I should have just walked out but I could not resist the sale. |
Wow @ those lists. I've been natural for almost 10 years so I definitely can't remember everything I've used. It would be great to have a chart.

Here is my list
TWO YEARS WORTH PRODUCTS:
Bold items still part of my current regimen. * items have occasional appearances.

I rotate my shampoos and conditioners because I feel like they quit working after a while. So my current rotation is Yes Inc, Alaffia, Kinky Curly and Esencia. I always keep Suave Naturals Coconut Conditioner on hand. Olive Oil is my go to oil and I use it all year long. I only use Vege Glycerin from about March-Sept. I love aloe gel and will use it until it quits on me. I have not used hair spray or gel since I no longer have straight ends. I do not use hair gel at all because it doesn't work for me. I either end up with greasy hair (Let's Jam) or crunchy hair with flakes (Eco Styler). I have basically given up on moisturizers and oil sprays opting to make my own from stuff that I know works. I am pretty much set with my HG but I would like to find a paraben-, mineral oil-, silicone- and petroleum-free twist gel like ORS because I like the hold and definition it gives to my twists/twist-outs. |
Man, those are a lot of products you could write a book of reviews for them.
Heres what I have tried, recently finished my transition and am trying to find products and styles that I like. Early transtition- rollersets, used shampoo selsun blue, pantene, tressemme. Proclaim hair set mousse, sallys ion spray leave-in, serum. After transition tried curly pudding, won't repurchase, brown protein eco gel, hope to replace with clear one, since this didn't work well, shea butter, my favourite, darcy botanicals transitioning cream, ors replenshing conditoner and hair mayo, didn't like replenshing conditoner as much as mayo, propbably won't repurchase. |
Wasn't done but had to abort, lol...
Wait...I'm not sure if I should do this, but I have 5 hours to kill. ;)
