Products other Naturals swear by....but your hair hates!!

We've all been there. After watching countless product reviews and reading numerous blog posts and now we're convinced we've discovered the Holy Grail of natural hair product that we're convinced will work wonders for our mane..........only to buy it and realize your hair hates it.

Mine was the Cantu Shea Butter Leav-In. Try as I might, my hair flat out refused to have any part of it.

What product did other naturals love but your hair hated?

Shea butter! It did nothing but sat on top of my hair!

I also had to leave the shea butter alone....it was heavy and oily and took days before there was some absorption, even when I used it on my skin...it was just oily and not really moisturizing.

I actually had break outs all around my forehead and sides of my face.

Same with the Shea Butter! while it moisturizes my hair, it just makes my twists look dull :/

Giovanni Direct Leave-In...I mean it was OKAY...but it wasn't that moisturizing and felt like it coated my strands in a chalky type way...so I used it until it was gone...but never re-purchased.

Hey all :D The only thing I can think of is Aloe Vera gel. I tried to use it for my twists, but it just left my hair feeling sticky. Uhhh, for those who are not liking the shea butter....psssttt...pass it to me, LOL.
