^^ Thanks so much Cream Tee, I need a trim ( have not had one in about 3/4 years ish cannot remember) I am going to keep my hair up off my neck in plaits / cornrows and do a length check in about 3 months.
 
Hey ladies,

I just used the Naked Sensitive Condish for a co-wash and it has no cones, hurrah! Its unscented which is fine because I am getting into adding my one scents. Boots has it for Buy 1 Get 1 half-price, £6 for two tubes is not bad.

Also, I found this when I was looking for ways to get US items faster (sometime my mom is slow getting to post office but I can't complain!).

I looked in quite a few of the big supermarkets in Kingston!! I was really after some Neutrogena NTM Silk Touch, I got a few tubes of the conditioner, but that's it! Thanks for this though - I'm taking notes, I'm back again in the summer so will look where you suggest.

I would love to get some Dominican product too - but that might be pushing it a bit! lol

Oh I see your problem. :yep: Definitely shopping in the wrong places. :nono: The supermarkets carry some stuff but not much. Pharmacies like Monarch Pharmacy especially the one in Sovereign Centre carry a lot more stuff than the VO5 and such things. I've actually seen a Brazilian line that ppl tend to rave on here about in the beauty supply stores I was telling you about.
Sadly not that many Dominican products around.

When next you go, just message me and I'll give you details as to where these places are etc.

But I must say it's not as good as shopping in the US. Nothing beats the US :sad: They literally have everything (well almost).

i have personally seen some in Dalston but i think Finsbury Park would probably be the best.

Fantastic site thanks so much that looks like such a good idea...:yep:
 
Do you ladies use a shower filter? Especially for those who live in the south east/London where the water is notoriously hard? It really makes a difference imo.

where did you get yours from creem tee and how much did you pay...?

Also how much of a diff do you think it has made?

TIA:grin:
 
I get mine from Pure showers, http://www.pureshowers.co.uk/produc...id=30&osCsid=3111e1298da1facf4bde750648ee4373

My hair is just so much more softer, noticeably so using the filter. It's great for the skin too and soap lasts a lot longer as you don't need to use so much of it. Shampoo (if you use it) disseminates and lathers quickly throughout the hair too in my experience.

I need to order another filter now, but I think I may just go ahead and just buy a whole new head again as I've had it for a while now.

I paid £50 at the time, it's gone up! :rolleyes:

Thanks for this link. I've been wanted to try Joico K-Pak range. Do you use any of their other products? I noticed that they have a Humidity Blocker!
Click to expand...

Sorry for my delay in replyin..I kinda just stuck to the whole K Pak range which was recommended by a more experienced LHCFer. The humidity blocker sounds interesting, especially in this damn weather.:lachen:
Another product I read was good is the moisture recovery balm but seeing as we're coming out of winter I dnt think it's that necessary, I'll just stick to my Elasta QP mango butter for now.

I was reading up on water softners and filters the other day and I found a softener product in the USA called ShowerStick, that also has a chlorine filter, which a few of the other forum ladies have used and gave fab reviews about and it lasts years thanks to it's simple regeneration process.
http://www.watersticks.com/shower.htm
Its $160, so it's currently £104. I can't wait to have that USA silkiness:blush:
Lol, I watch too many movies!

I have used the Joico range K-PAK and Moisture Recovery and must say that I am more sold on the moisture recovery products :yep:

Joico moisture recovery balm is fantastic.

The K Pack reconstructor is OK.

Also I have found the prices at PAK are OK but the best prices I have seen are on eBay with a vendor with Tops Hair Saloon.

I also buy my Matrix Biolage and Nioxin products from them and a vendor called the Hair People aka Susie Mitch.
 
The biggest annoyance to me is not being able to pick up and go to a local BSS to just get whatever (hair clips,banana clips, satin rollers). These are simple things I don't want to order online.

I have to wait, make a list, and double check to make sure I order everything I want and need. Then I have to wait for my package to arrive and at times you deal with horrible vendors/ customer service.

Sometimes it's not worth it for one bottle of shampoo and conditioner. I usually order so much just to assure, if something does not work for my hair I have other options. My PJism is dwindling so it's a lot better.

A local BSS would be all I need to feel complete in Europe.....lol.

Has anyone used the mailservice that you can use to shop online at stores that wouldn't ship overseas?

I posted this site in this thread yesterday, but I've never used it myself. My mom sends me things at the moment. She's not that reliable :drunk::spinning: but it gets to eventually!:lachen:

Thanks for that, I might have to look into getting one of these, I am sure the water is hard in this area, hence why my hair will not grow!!:grin:

It was this one, http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=445532

I will try it over the weekend and say how it is.

Did you see this thread about the fake Sabino MB?!

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=445384&page=2

I've never tried Sabino but I've been considering it.....now I'm not sure if its safe to go with the cheap site....maybe I'll just try the new formula.

The other thread said that the Original MB has only two ingredients, is that true? Could you post them?
 
Yes, I read the different threads, when I got mine, I checked the tamper proof seal and they were all in tact. The 2 ingredients are - Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone. I looked at the original bottles listed on BHM and re read the thread and from what I can tell, these are the real deal. This is just IMO.
 
I found this website. They ship most things anywhere in the world for free except fragrances but the highest shipping cost is $4. I just ordered some tigi bed head and CHI :). I only looked at their hair care section but they've got a host of other stuff at good discounts.

For the UK & EU Ladies where are you buying your fragrance oils and do you have any recs for any particular scents?

I have a JBCO/ Sulphur concoction I need to pretty up in the smell department.

If you are referring to Perfume then it's here. I usually buy the specials offers.

I will be buying from here at some point because my shea butter/coconut oil mix smells yuck! The shop sells fragrances that cover perfume and home fragrance.

I haven't tried yet, but, will be ordering soon. Whilst I am happy to use the fragrance on skin, I need to research further to whether I can place it on my hair. At the present moment, with the mix I mentioned above along with Jamaican Black Castor Oil/Sapote Oil, my hair stinks (although it is nice and soft)!

Yep but I am a bit chicken... There is a woman who sells QOD on eBay. LHCF ladies appear to like QOD. Check out the Keratin support thread.

Thanks I was reading the BKT threads and its what started me thinking....I am a bit worried because my hair is so thin, maybe I will revisit the BKT in 6 months if my hair is stronger to cope. I agree with you, the QOD has good reviews.
