you guys keep talking and I'll just ask you what to buy in January! lol.

goober, think of it this way--we're screening the products for you. This way, we'll have used them a lot, really know if we like them (not just infatuation) and you won't waste money on products.

Well honey Del tried that not listening thing a while back and I'm not sure how good that worked out for her

I too am bummed about the moisture renewal product. Had I known I would seriously have bought several more bottles. I'm going to reserve it for leave in use only so it lasts a while. I have two bottles..but they are 4oz..and if I introduce this to Tahia's hair they won't last a month! Her hair, once the products actually soak in which takes a while (she has white hair until they do) takes mammoth amounts of product.

I'm going to go order a few more things. My hair has not felt this soft I don't think ever since I've been CG. When I first SOTC (about 1 hour ago) it was having some funky curls..but I worked with it a little and let it settle (my hair needs settling time) and I added a bit of the Darcy's Botanicals Coconut and Aloe cream and voila a great hair day so far.

I will say that the DB NCCJ and the Coconut and Aloe are really excellent for me. The C&A pudding gets rid of frizz for me instantly and gives me shine. Of course my hair loves coconut and aloe so that makes sense!

I have to get on the bandwagon and say these are worth a purchase! My hair isn't weighed down at all but it does feel soft and bouncy.

Also I remain very impressed with Dana's level of service. I've had 3 email exchanges with her since last night at 9pm my time (pacific). I'm not sure I can say that about any vendor other than Marsha from CJ. I really value that level of service!

So felt I should post a scent update.

And, actually, I'm classifying the Shea Butter Conditioner as my HG. It goes right up there with my Hairveda Moist Condition Pro and the Darcy's Botanical's Pumpkin Seed Conditioner. They are my three favorites but, honestly, I might favor the Jasmines a bit more because of how awesome my hair feels (not only curls..but feels!) and that you can get practically any scent. The cost is also very reasonable!

I'm really trying not to get attached to the Moisture Renewal since it went away (i'm ignoring it

). The Babassu one is really really good as well...but the Shea has protein!

Also I got the Body Butter, Body Frosting, and the Shea Souffle. All are awesome! The BB is the lightest then the BF then the Shea one is alot thicker--almost hard. It's awesome!!!! You SIMPLY MUST TRY THIS STUFF!

So the scents:

Berries and Cream: My favorite hands down. Sweet berries and cream.

Jasmine Vanilla: Good..little more floraly

Summer Melon: Like the bowl of melon in the summer

Mango Peach: Fruity--strong smell and very peachy to me

Passionfruit and Guava: More tropical fruity but more even than the Mango/Peach--not quite as strong

White Tea and Giner: Understated...not like KBB scent...much less strong. More natural smelling

French Vanilla Pear: Fruity..not too strong..smells more fruity than vanilla to me. NICE!

Pearberry: Yet more fruity (see a theme here!)

Strawberry Jam: Like Curl Rehab strawberry scent.

All are wonderful. Much better than our first go round with Tia picking out the scents...

These are definite repurchases for me..especially the body products.I want to try some of the other stuff too!

The customer service is also excellent.

If you have not tried her products I really recommend you to go and do so!

Glad you love them, too! I totally agree with the Shea Butter Conditioner. I have trouble finding products that my hair absorbs--being low porosity. It drinks this stuff up--and feels incredible. I do like it as a leave in, but am VERY careful about using too much. I LOVE the Babassu Butter, too. Use that as a leave in. I'm finding that I can use a heavy leave in, a jelly type curl enhancer (CIAB, DM Curling Gelly, AOMM, etc.) and that's it. Fabulous curls that last all day. No frizz. It does take my hair a while to soak up the leave in, but after a few hours--it looks great, gains volume, etc.

We need to get Dana to make more products without silicone!

I also agree with your assessment of the body products. I've done the body frosting and souffle, they are great. I bought a ton to bring people--they are great for dry, cracked winter skin.

Completely agree! More products without silicones! I'd buy her shampoo if it didn't have cones. Wish she would make a curl enhancer and a medium hold gel. Ahhh then life would be perfect!

I also got a sample of the foot scrub. Haven't tried it yet. I also bought the deoderant (how I found that on the site I'll never know

) and it works flawlessly! I've been searching for a while for a natural one so I'm very happy about this!

Her etsy site is cheaper but the shipping is way more. So it balances out. I got the smallest sizes of the body butters and stuff so if I liked it I could buy larger in the scent I love. Plan to do that. I think I could coordinate my bath gel, hair stuff, and lotion/body butter. I've always wanted to do that but most commercial body stuff gives me hives (Estee Lauder "Knowing" landed me in the ER for the night! OUCH!). These are nice fragrances and I haven't had any problem with them being "too much"

I'm going to order some stuff for my sister and her family (excema and dry MN winters) next!

amy51373 · 12-27-2009, 06:42 AM

I finally caved and bought some stuff yesterday. I just got sample sizes of stuff so I could try it all out. Can't wait to try it!

Heather0kay · 12-28-2009, 03:50 PM

I really like the shea butter cream rinse; it makes my hair moist but not flat and wilted. The eye cream is pretty good also. Dana said she was planning on coming out with a new silicone-free protein DT!

curlykey · 12-28-2009, 03:58 PM

I'm still loving the shea cream rinse/leave in...I use it as a leave in and have yet to "over do" it. I haven't used it as a rinse out. This is my favorite leave in! Two thumbs up!

Alexjoujou · 12-28-2009, 04:40 PM

Oh the eye cream. I have to try that!!

Has anyone tried anything else? Input? Opinions?

Her stuff is really nice and I'm very much liking it.

kathymack · 12-28-2009, 04:58 PM

I was thinking of trying more of the beauty products. Maybe the foaming sugar scrub??

curlykey, you have to try the shea conditioner as a rinse out. It's incredible!

Totally agree. I love it as a leave in but I believe I used the word phenomenal on my blog for it as a rinse out.

I got the feet scrub in sample size (its a REALLY nice sized sample!) I might give that a try tonight and let you'll know.

I want the bath gel and scrubs as well!!!

I can say the deoderant works great too!!

Really?! Ooo I shall try it tomorrow then. Thanks!

I want to try her lip balms as well....I didn't know she carried a deodorant too....off to the site.

angel29ish · 12-28-2009, 08:32 PM

I tried to resist, but it didn't work.

AJJ and Kathy, I always trust your reviews. I agree with the prompt service. I received a reply to an email in 1/2 hr. I ordered from the Etsy store as it was an easier process for shipping to Canada. The shipping is so reasonable. The shipping on everything else I've ordered has been $12 - $24. The shipping for these products is only $7! I ordered the Shea Butter condish and the Babasu Cr. Do you ladies prefer using them as a LI or rinse out? I can't wait to get these!

kathymack · 12-28-2009, 09:17 PM

I use them both as a leave in, but only the shea butter as a rinse out.

I've used them both as rinse out and leave in..but feel that the Babassu is best as a leave in. The Shea works great both ways but for me it is extremely awesome as a rinse out! I got them in the same scent and I have been using the Shea as a rinse out and the Bab as a LI...today I reversed it and my hair's still nice! So try them both ways!

I think you'll love them!!

Yay! Thanks for sharing KM. I used the Shea co as a rinse out today and I'm very pleased!! I love that I can use the conditioner as a rinse out and a leave in with success. My hair loves the shea conditioner!! This is definitely HG for me....I will have to try the babassu butter cream co as well.

Yeah!! My hair loves it as well.

It really likes the Babassu but the shea one is a completely love situation.

Now that I got new scents I'm one happy chica! I have enough condish now but I'm planning my next order of body products.

If you haven't tried them you should try the body butters and the frosting. AMAZING. I am in love with the Passionfruit Guava scent for them. Smells so good and works so well!

kathymack · 12-29-2009, 07:33 PM

I just got a body frosting in the Passionfruit Guava, it's nice. Got a shea butter conditioner in Green Mango--it smells like you just cut a nice ripe Mango!

amy51373 · 12-29-2009, 08:08 PM

My stuff shipped out today and now I'm super excited to get some new stuff to try!!
