Giovanni Direct Leave In.....lots of people love it, it did nothing for my hair and I gave it two tries. Nothing of Miss Jessie's period...Carol's Daughter Monoi Line.....yet another waste of money......Cantu products, ewww lol.....I'm sure there are more I just can't think of right now.

Ohhhhh Shea Moisture pink label stuff but I've come to realize (finally) that my hair only like shea butter as a sealant on the ends. It gets crunchy and breaks terribly if I put it all over.....and that's with unrefined raw shea as well. It's a no go

It's crazy my hair only likes the pink label. I think because that line have lots of coconut in it. My hair loves that.

I am with u on Giovanni. It doesn't work for me anymore. I switched to garnier fruitise leave in cream. Tons cheaper and feel great. U should try it.

Honey mix it with the smoothie if u have it. Smoothie moisturize without shine but when u add a little soufflé to it you get shine moisture and hold. If ur heavy handed its gonna be a greasy mess.

If u don't have the smoothie u can use ur regular moisturizer

Okay, here goes nothing:
1) V05 shampoos and Conditioners - it causes more knots and tangles in my hair.
2) Giovanni Smooth As Silk Deep Moisture Conditioner - did not make my hair smoother and did not work well as a deep conditioner for me.
3) Jane Carter Solution Nourish and Shine - something in this product broke me out, had bumps all over my face. Might be the mango butter in her products.
4) Jane Carter Solution Replenishing Conditioner - did not work well as a deep conditioner and did not make hair easier to detangle
5) Kinky Curly Knot Today - does not make it easier to detangle my hair, worked better as a leave-in conditioner using Kimmaytube's recipe
6) Aubrey Organics White Camilla Conditioner - use it as a co-wash instead of deep conditioner, did not make it easy to detangle like the honeysuckle rose does

I think that's it.

Jane Carter Nourishing Scalp oil didn't agree with my scalp.

Curls Cleansing Cream was OK. Not really impressed.

Hair Rules moisturized then left my hair feeling gummy! Too expensive for that mess.

FYI--Kinky Curly Knot Today works for me either as a leave-in when I straighten my hair OR with the kimmaytube recipe.

Note: The first 3 products were used in the past..key word past which shows I no longer use them. Lol!!!

1. Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and the leave in conditioner(has a weird smell to it)

2. Kynx leave in moisturizer-made my hair very dry and it smells like detergent

3. Bask silk and honey latte-made my hair feel dry

4. coconut oil-makes my hair very dry

5. shea butter-makes hair feel very dry and just sits on top of hair

6. olive oil-but i have to use sparingly

7. Jessicurl deep conditioner-didnt work as a deep conditioner and did not detangle my hair but decent as a leave in

8. curl rehab-didnt work as a deep condish but decent as a leave in

One 'n' Only Argan Oil shampoo/conditioner -- sooo stinky it gave me a headache!
Lush Jasmine & Henna Fluff-Ease (And I had such high hopes!)

I had a bottle under my sink that I hadn't used in awhile. I tried it again over the past couple days and now I remember why I stopped using it in the first place. It moisturizes my hair well, but shrinkage is CRAZY when it dries. On a great day with the best of products my shrinkage is already very real, but the Giovanni takes it to a new level. I think I'll just toss it to avoid the same forgetfulness in the future.
