NightBlooming Panacea opinion?

[candycandace]

Hey everyone! I've really been considering getting some NightBlooming Panacea, but I'm not sure which blend would be right for me? I've heard a few different opinons, but I'd like to know which blend you use and if you've used any other blends and how they compare? Thanks guys!

I own a 2 oz jar of the original formula that I got for my birthday this year, and a 2 oz sized jar of the winter blend that my fiancé got me for Christmas last year. I really like the winter blend a lot better than the original. I feel that it’s much more moisturizing and after using it for almost a year, my hair is in way better condition. Plus, it smells divine . I don’t really care for the smell of the original, though . I think the winter blend is a good thing to have year-round if you live in a climate with dry air like me. I know you live in a humid state, so maybe try a lighter blend like the summer one or the original?

I believe Nightshade said somewhere that the original was for dry hair, the summer blend is for fine hair, and the winter blend was just a protein free version of the original blend. Personally, the winter blend is my favorite. My ends are always super soft after I use it.

I own a ½ oz jar of the original formula that I got for my birthday this year, and a 2 oz sized jar of the winter blend that my fiancé got me for Christmas last year. I really like the winter blend a lot better than the original. I feel that it’s much more moisturizing and after using it for almost a year, my hair is in way better condition.

Maybe I will try the winter kind. I do live in a moist state...but the extra-moisture couldn't hurt . You wouldn't happen to know the ingredients for the original and winter mixes off-hand would you?

Have you tried the summer blend?

[krissykins]

I have all three blends. The summer blend is nice, but I'm not too fond of the scent and it doesn't do anything magical for my hair. I use the original if I feel like I need some protein on my ends.

My hair eats oils and conditioners for breakfast. I've been wanting to try the winter blend, but I'm worried that I'll go through 2oz like air and then be sad because it's so expensive.

Any thoughts from those with thirsty hair like me.

The winter ingredients sound a little more moisturizing than the original formula. And, I read that the summer blend smells like citrus, and I don't really care for the smell of citrus
Didn't you say in another thred that you make your own hair salve too? What kinds of things do you put in that?

[WaterMusic]

I have the original and the Winter blend. I don't use the original that often because my hair doesn't like protein (I only use it when I think I need some protein), but the Winter blend is my Holy Grail product. Love this stuff, for deep treatments, and for daily end protection. Love love love. I'm getting it unscented next time though, not fond of how the smell turns out with my body chemistry.

Nightshade is pretty awesome, so if you have any questions you can message her here or on Etsy. I think she prefers Etsy for work stuff though.
