Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.1

[La Colocha]

Im going to do something i haven't done before. Im going to go another week before redoing these braids. I washed and conditioned and they don't look bad at all. Kind of scared though because i don't want them to start locking but my roots look pretty good. I will see how it goes this time and if its not too rough to detangle, i will start to go two weeks with braids in. Washing once a week still. I don't think i will baggy this year, I miss tiffers and that was her challenge.

So Do I! She was sooooooooo much fun. Maybe she'll come back soon.

Yeah, I may go back to Co-Washing Once a Week. I wish I could keep up the twice a week, but it's too much manipulation.

Maybe when I get some Hair and Can Wet Bun everyday or something, but uhmm...not right now.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I Have a Feeling, Imma be using up alot of stuff all at once.

I looked at a few bottles, jars and the like, and they may all be done at or about the same time. Which is such a Good Feeling.......

I would like to start my 'Testing' of Dominican Hair Products in July (after my next T/U). But it's all contingent on how much stuff I use up between now & then.

OT: I wish Ya'll would stop talking about that Trip when you all know WE want to come too!

Im not going to cowash either because it takes too long for my hair to dry. I don't want my scalp to start stinking.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Once a Week should Keep me in the Challenge. I'll stick to that for now.

I loved doing it twice a week. If I had more length, I'd continue.....

Plus I'm drying under the dryer and Slapping a Wig on Top of That

It's a Great Way to Use Up Stuff, Especially if you wear a Wash N Go!

 

[Ltown]

shay you are right, ayurveda products last a looooooooooooooong time! Its like dag...go away! I have a lot of powders and Im going to give some to my friend. I gave her some amla oil yesterday and I STILL have some. Im going to stick with ayurveda, but maybe with just one or two things.

Washnset so true to the bold, I was in ayurveda challenges 08/09 and sold some powders but still have fenugreek and hisibiscus. I finally got tried of mixing so those are all I'll be using too!

LTown: Did you enjoy it? And how were your Results?

 

[Shay72]

I used up Giovanni Magnetic Reconstructor. I'm telling ya'll for the last time I'm quitting Giovanni and any other product line that has weird shaped bottles and tubes. I hate them!!!! I know I can get the Giovanni Direct in liters with a pump bc I have two and maybe the Smooth as Silk condish but that's about it. The Desert Essence conditioners I have are in tubes and they smell but nothing spectacular so no need to repurchase those. The only tube I will deal with is Alba Botanica leave in bc I have no problem with it. Thank goodness my pumps are here because I need those for my conditioners.

 

[Ltown]

Is anyone doing their Hair Today????????

I did my wash with Jasmine nourshing just use all my sample and steam with Bone marrow. Like I told you I probably should have not steam or use it that long but I love the texture.

You ladies who are going to the makeup do think about us that can't go. I'll be in WV for graduation. I can't wear makeup but sure wish I could I know that sale is going to be off the chain!

Shay like I told Washnset, being in that ayurveda challenge I too had alot of powders. I may sell fenugreek, hibiscus I not down with mixing anymore.

Oh it was great, trying something natural and experimenting with powders/oils during the time I was transitioning to natural made my hair soft. No regrets! I think I'm just messy when mixing powders, I've use conditioners, made tea rinses which is probably what I'll stick to if I don't sell. I'm finding so many natural conditioner I don't like mixing anymore. Do you want some to try with? I have fenugreek, hibiscus.

Naw Girl I gave up mixing stuff a long time ago. *but thanks anyway*

Give it to me off the shelf

I premixed those bad boys as soon as I got them. When I get a new box I add it to the mix. It takes everything in me to make the tea bags and add the oils every weekend. If I use up the tea bags before the powders then I will go back to just adding the powders to my condishes until they are done.

 

[mkd]

I really like the results of aryuvedic powders but I am tired of mixing stuff too. I am going to try to keep it up because my hair seems stronger and I have less splits.

 

[Brownie518]

Correction T and mkd, I mailed it off Friday.

Brownie, did you not like any of the natures brew?

I really like the Hair Butter, the Nourishment Oil, and the Ultimate Body Butter. I loved the Body Butter, actually. I didn't try the Aloe & Sea shampoo or the Aloe Moisture. I got a large size of the Hair Butter and one came in the sample bag so I was gonna throw that in, also.

 

[Brownie518]

Working. I work in recreation so this is our busiest time of year. Ya'll will barely "see" me come May and especially since I may have more responsibilities this summer. I always say you can either lose a ton of weight or gain a ton of weight in the summer. My goal is to lose and I really feel I'm in the right space to do that. Besides I've got my sights on this papi chulo (sp?) too . I will try to get on as much as I can since this board is a stress reliever for me most times . Supervising staff and programs which people pay for can be . Working with individuals with disabilities takes it to another level too. I do my job and cannot see myself doing anything else. Sorry so long .



No, it is one of her goals at some point though. I'm glad you posted this bc it reminded me to say I think the sale is April 16-18th rather than starting on Monday.

Shay, you're right about the dates!! Thanks!!
...Don't forget about us!!!!

 

[chebaby]

so i just got finished rubbing my scalp with bee mine, spraying my hair with my mix of water, aloe juice, coconut oil and apricot kernal oil and then moisturizing with my shea butter mix.

 

[BostonMaria]

Hey ladies, I'm home working on my paper. I did my hair yesterday, but I have to color tomorrow so its back under the Pibbs again. Wish I had my steamer :-(

thanx. i like the butter. but the more it melts because of the weather, the more it reminds me of vatika frosting

 

[fattyfatfat]

I went to Target today and they had the NTM shampoo and conditioner on sale for $4.94. I purchased both of them. I had a 10% off coupon so I saved a few more cents.

 

[Day36]

BM, what happened to your steamah?

Hey ladies, that Skala is holding up. I havent moisturized or touched my hair since I did it. It still feels good and soft

 

[fattyfatfat]

[Optimus_Prime]

Nope, I emailed them to make sure. And to make sure that that I could bring a guest aka David.

Awesome!

whaaaaaaat?! Any of you other ladies that are not bringing a guest, may I be your guest? I would pay for half of the ticket. Any takers? lol.

You can be my guest. I'll buy a student ticket.

My steamah went kaput. I don't know what happened. I already talked to Marc at salonsrus and he wants me to ship it back to the company. He said that they'll either fix it or send me a new one. I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to mail it out. It'll definitely get done this week. I miss my steamer! I even named him Pedro and we're getting married soon

 

[Optimus_Prime]

Oh yeah, my ng felt dry (I was shocked ), so I cowashed. I finished Tropical Cinnamon rinse and a JASON Apricot condish. I won't repurchase either.
I still have 2 more JASON condishs to finish. Like another poster said, they make the hair a bit waxy. Me no like, but they're still usable.

BostonMaria, my steamer went down too and I tried to ship it back $80 way too much when the steamer only cost $129. So I took it apart and the internal tube came off the main outlet value, so I hooked it back up. It happen because I bend the hood back too far to store it, so now I just keep it up right. If you don't want to spend that money have DH look at it.

DH is useless, trust me on that one

It was going to cost $80 via USPS? or UPS?
That's insane.
