Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

[IDareT'sHair]

Girl don't say that, after all we been through that stuff better have my hair feeling like indian yaki..

Yaki-Laky-Doodle!

Imma put 1 of these into Rotation, instead of Sitrinillah.

I still have the one I got from Ms. B.

But, I'll use one of the ones from the FLASH-CASH-SLOW-SALE.

*now that mine is out for delivery i can talk stuff*

I hope Hanan's comes today too.

I just rinsed my hair and my hair is so soft.
It feels as though I moisturized and sealed already. I'm not a fan of the scent but this is a definite repurchase.
Now I have to re-evaluate my dc's ,even my hands are soft.

You noticed that, too?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Whatever, I think that companies should definitely know if they haven't been up to par for their customers. I would write them all letters, but if I did that I'd probably be writing all dang day. So I'm glad they lurk.

HEY Y'ALL!

Unless this KBB Mask is AH-MAZ-ING they are off my list unless I go to NYC and can buy it on the ground. I used the Mask as my rinse out today to test it, and it was nice, but definitely not worth $25. I did like how easy it was to rinse clean, and it was light and moisturizing at the same time (I really heavy condishes that seem to stick to my hair), but it's so thin I felt like I had to use a lot. Steaming with it tomorrow...

I Like Thick, Heavy Deep Conditioners too Elle!

Especially to Steam with.

Oh wait wait I meant hate, lol! Unless I am steaming with them they seem to build up by my scalp and I have to massage my scalp to get them out, like I had to do with the Jessicurl. It absorbed better when I steamed though. That's why I love Curl Rehab, it's like in the middle - it's fairly thick so I don't use much but it's easy to rinse.

i hope when this no buy is over i dont go crazy on the spending. it happens.

.................. Oh...Okay...

Oh, Well, I like mine really thick. I like MHC Honey Hair Mask, AV Ashlii Amla and Sitrinillah.

None of these are "Thick" but they steam very, very well.

Same here, lol. But so far, I only want to try Curl Junkie after my no-buy is over. When is that, I gotta calculate it in my head...the end of June? Goodness.

That's why I think the every other month will work best for me.

However, I spent alot of time yesterday out in my stash, and I need to think of something else. erplexed

I have a lot of good things that I really need to focus on & try out.

I'll have to think of something tho'.

 

[Brownie518]

The end of June??? Holy s**t!

Girl....I Know.

That would be totally & completely unrealistic for Me!

I Mean.....For Us!

Hmp.

I could roll up into Next Black Friday......

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I just finished putting in some twists. I was watching Grey's and that new show Off the Map so I was moving slow. It was also my first time doing it this way.

I think my hair was suffering with out doing my henna monthly. The cassia was exactly what it needed.

Next time I need to rinse my hair with warmer water to rinse all the DC out. But I agree the BFH does make everything soft.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I'm trying to do a No Buy until September (with a few passes), but I'm definitely in it until June.

The stash will last until September except cowash condish since I do that 2-3 times a week in the summer.

The No buy really has helped me say what I consider Staple products a few couldn't make the list since it was only 10. I just need to condense down to only a few vendors vs dabbling here and there with different products in different vendors.

 

[bronzebomb]

I can go until Black Friday. I have tons of stuff and I usually keep my hair protected for one week at a time.

I used AfroVeda's Curl Define last night for my 2-strand twists. It's still a keeper!!! I love this stuff.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My KBB Arrived. Jars in tact (although not sealed). Everything looks good.

I didn't care for the hair masks. The butter is my favorite. Does her stuff spill/leak? I visited the store in NY. They (the staff) were cordial, but out of some of the scents. I think she mixes stuff only for her preferred customers. I'm hopeful that she will offer the discontined scents again. The Chammomile Sage is my favorite.

My Jars were fine. No Spills/Leaks for Me. It was wrapped properly and the Labels were in tact.

Thank you! Typically a week.. I'm shooting for two weeks this time. But i get a little antsy. I like playing in my hair, sitting under the steamer, using different products and trying to find a new style.

So during those two weeks, do you spritz or rub in some moisturizer(s)? Use Oils or all 3?

I've found that when I use the butters, with no water, they stay defined with no frizz. However, when I spray them or use the Hair Dew or anything with aloe, they look 100 days old.

This week I'm only going to use the Hair butter and treat my scalp with the Mega-Tek/Bee Mine/Mixed Greens mixture. I'll see by next Thursday if I can last another week.

I'm sure they look fine.

Yeah....It came (finally). And I was in there within the first 5-10 minutes of the sale.

You all are loving that Pimento Oil. Imma hafta' try this one once I get some of my other oils down.

I'm working on that now. Doing weekly HOTs.

I also want to try Rosemary Oils. I think in February, I will get down hard with Oils.

HOTS and just oiling my scalp.

I wish I could get a clearer understanding of how to do an Oil Rinse. I'd try that too.

Right now I'm using Hydratherma Oil & JBCO.

Doing HOTS with whatever I can get my hands on. Kukui, Wheat Germ, Soybean etc.....*these are the ones I want to use up*

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Ms. T- I'm glad everything came today and was intact. I mad you had to press them like that to get your stuff.

Pompous- I just checked my order status and it says awaiting shipment so hopefully they will send it today or Tuesday. Yesterday it said processing order so they are definitely moving through their orders quickly.

Bronze-Nice twists. I feel the same way when I put in twists. I wanna play in my hair and try out products.

I realized last night I missed wearing my hair "out" so I'm doing twist outs and curlformers for the next week or so. When I took my hair out last night I looked like an extra from Whip My Hair dancing around the house swangin my hair.

They said they were overwhelmed by the sales of Flash Wednesday.

@bolded-Doing HOTS weekly has really had a great effect on my hair. It feels smoother and healthier. I'm going to keep these up year round.

@2nd bolded- From my understanding oil rinsing is simply putting in oil (heated or not) into your hair and then rinsing with hot/warm water. If you let it sit before rinsing then it's considered a HOT. Oil rinsing is supposed to help with detangling since it coats the hair.

Thanks Girl. I'll try this too! Great.

And I agree. I'm loving doing these HOTS this Winter. It's been great. What are you doing HOTS with Vonnie?

It also gives me a chance to use my Heat Cap more.

I was hoping Choctaw was lurking....she does all of this stuff too.
