Treatments -Organix - Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum
glossnmascaragal 5/19/2009 10:43:00 AM
This sucked for me and I was wanting to love it because of the delicious scent. It didn't help with breakage, didn't add shine, the scent didn't even last. By the time I had finished my hair, the scent was gone. This disappointed me because the main reason I purchased was for the smell. I would repurchase if the scent lasted because it smells that good! Without the lasting scent, it's useless. Booooo!

This product is good, especially considering the price. Good moisture and softness, it smells very nice too. I'm not compelled to repurchase, though. But it's definitely worth a try!

Treatments -Clairol - Clairol Nice'n Easy ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss
glossnmascaragal 5/19/2009 10:40:00 AM
I used this for about 10 minutes while in the shower and WHOA!!!!!! I suffer from thyroid problems, so my hair has been extremely dry, brittle and course lately. After rinsing this out, my hair was sooooo soft, but not weighed down at all. My rollerset came out ridiculously soft, light, fluffy and moisturized! This stuff is amazing! I just wish I could find it sold seperately from the dye. I can't seem to find it online :-(

Treatments -Joico - Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm for thick or coarse hair
glossnmascaragal 5/19/2009 10:35:00 AM
This did little to nothing for my hair after deep conditioning with it for 45 mins under the dryer. Minimal softness and moisture. Nothing to write home about and the smell isn't that great either. The Moisture Recovery Lotion worked (and smelled) much better for me

Conditioner -Unlisted Brand - Avanti Silicon Mix Leave-In Conditioner
glossnmascaragal 5/19/2009 10:23:00 AM
This leave-in is soooo underrated! It's on par with Lacio Lacio.... In fact, I like this MORE than Lacio! This leave-in gives slip, softness, shine and moisture. My rollersets turn out lovely when I use this. Love it!

I'm relaxed and this did absolutely NOTHING for my hair. Complete garbage that dried my hair out, it was a mess. This does however work wonders for my natural 4z dh. It gave him so much slip and I didn't think slip was possible with his uber picky hair! So I gave it a 3 star because it worked so well for hubby, but sucked eggs for me. The smell is a plus too

Treatments -Paul Brown - Hapuna Thermal Masque
glossnmascaragal 5/19/2009 9:46:00 AM
I had such high hopes for this masque. The whole volcanic ash thing really had me going, only to be very disappointed. This masque is a very strange texture, I imagine it's what volcanic ash feels like. It's gritty. It heated up upon contact with my hair, but the heat died down after about 30 seconds. By the time I had finished applying the masque to my whole head, my hair was dry and stiff, like it sucked all of the water out of my hair. Weird. I went to wash my hands and the masque wouldn't come off!!! I had to lather and rinse four times before I got MOST of it off! And I always wash very thoroughly with hot water and lots of lather. This was very worrisome. If it sticks to my hands like this, what's it gonna do to my hair???!!! Sat under the dryer on medium heat for an hour (I never condition for less than 45 mins. It's pointless) and when I finally rinsed, it took some extra effort to get it out. My hair was soft when I finally got it out. Proceeded with my regular rollerset and when my hair was dried, my hair felt sticky and gritty! Highly annoyed, I looked at the ingredients on the tube and saw that the second ingredient is MINERAL OIL!!!! Since I ordered this online, an ingredients list wasn't available. I don't plan on ever using this again. Complete waste of money.

Styling Products -Paul Brown - Shine Amplifier
glossnmascaragal 5/19/2009 9:31:00 AM
This has a nice smell, but there's nothing that seperates this from any other shine spray. One downside is that your hair will be an oily mess if you get a little overzealous with the spraying. No spectacular shine, not even a noticable difference in the shine of my hair. I gave it away.

Conditioner -Aubrey Organics - GPB Conditioner

My hair usually despises protein, so I was very hesitant to try this. I used it after clarifying and was AMAZED when it immediately melted into and softened my hair!!!! I left it in for 10 mins while I finished my shower. Heaven! Soooo soft and moisturized, I couldn't believe it! The absolute BEST protein conditioner I've EVER tried and I'm a huge product junkie!

Masks -Aubrey Organics - Vegecol with Organic Aloe & Oatmeal Soothing Mask
glossnmascaragal 6/3/2007 12:35:00 AM
I don't even have sensitive skin, and this was pretty rough under my eyes-not directly under my eyes, about an inch or so below them. Anywho, it's and okay mask, but it's a bit rough and I've been spoiled by the Blue Green Algae line. My skin didn't feel refreshed after I used this mask, just red and irritated.

The entire Blue Green Algae line is fantastic, my skin is glowing. I love this lotion, it's very light and thin, but it's very moisturizing. It has antioxidants, essential fatty acids, organic aloe vera and a bunch of other great stuff. I love it.

Cleansers -Aubrey Organics - Blue Green Algae with Grape Seed Extract Facial Cleansing Lotion
glossnmascaragal 6/2/2007 7:47:00 PM
I love the whole Blue Green Algae line and this cleanser is no exception. It has the consistancy of a thick lotion and it cleans without leaving my face feeling dry and stripped. My skin glows and my face is so clear, I can't stop looking at my skin! The smell isn't bad at all, considering that it's all natural with no artificial scents. I will use this forever.

Masks -Aubrey Organics - Blue Green Algae Mask
glossnmascaragal 6/2/2007 7:38:00 PM
This mask is a dream! It's super soothing and moisturizing, without leaving your face oily. I had two MONSTER pimples on my face, after one use of this mask, they were almost gone! And I love that it doesn't dry out on my face. It stays dewey and creamy, a nice change from the hard, cracking masks I'm used to. This makes my face absolutely glow and I'll never stop using it!

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Organic Root Stimulator - Replenishing Pak
glossnmascaragal 6/2/2007 7:28:00 PM
This dc is GREAT! I used a new shampoo and it left my hair so dry and tangled. I panicked and remembered I had an ORS pak, so I slapped it on my hair and it softened right up! I left it on for an hour and 45 minutes w/o heat. I'm gonna try it with heat in a few days and post results. I love this stuff! *UPDATE* It's more fabulous when used with heat! And for you ladies suffering from horrible breakage and/or shedding, use this! It works miracles for shedding and the smell is so intoxicating. Love it!
