@ bolded: this made my hair feel really good!! :yep: But, T, you should know that its not thick. I know how you are about your conditioners. :rolleyes: But its nice!
 
@IDareT'sHair, @chebaby, I know you don't mean harm. This flakying and itching has me devastated:cry3: It maybe nothing related to coconut oil because i used it before, i just need to make sure it nithing serious and leave my scalp and edge along and heal. The no buy can only work if you stop looking at the sites:lol: We should have a group because we are more personal then this thread and i got something to say:look: but we are open and have lurkers:lol:. Let see if i can learn to slang what i need to say, but when i do that Ms. T gets confuse:lachen:about what I'm saying.

Oh I got the perfect braidout this morning, after I wash/dc/leave-in I diffuse my hair as @Charz suggested:grin:, no skrinkage and not dry as blowdryer. I use qhem coco ghee then I use carol daughter mimosa hair honey and braid. Awesome finally!

I know you PJ want to know what's in mimosa here it is:lol:

Good morning ladies, going to cowash this morning. The grapeseed oil is a keeper, my hair is still really soft. Will use vo5 raspberry today and try the shea moisture conditioner as a moisturizer.

rosalindb -lawd...what next! Soon we will find out that everything is a deritive of something. Thank you girl for doing a little research!

bronzebomb, you are 100% right. Also Japanese Honeysuckle extract sounds absolutely divine so the fact that it is a apparently a "paraben"is quite misleading

Someone posted a thread about concerns buying Camellia oil since the radiation leak and I immediately stocked up to be on the safe side. Yesterday it was reported that the radation has been detected in the UK link (not near me but it is probably just a matter of time) :ohwell: what can you do, some things are just outside of our control :look:

mkd chebaby - Isn't Donna Marie the line that keeps discontinuing products? :perplexed. Has the product line more or less stabilised now? That must be so frustrating to find a staple product only for it to be discontinued further down the line

Ltown Did your scalp fully heal from the pimento oil burns or is this a completely new irritatation. Hope your scalp recovers soon

rosalindb That is why I stopped messing with this company about a year ago. Everytime I fell in love with something it was reformulated or discontinued; I can't deal.
 
Ltown said:
rosalindb, no it didn't and I didn't help by dying it a week later. So it a combination of the dye and oil. I use some loreal dye which I don't use but hindsight :ohwell: . thanks!

Hmmm, you should not have done that. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Just keep your haircare simple and preferably natural for the next few weeks and give your scalp a chance to recover and fully heal :yep:

Oh Yeah, and Komaza Honeycomb Rejuvenator and Komaza Protein Strengthener. And a ton of "Hair Repair" Treatments.:nono:

This April thing will be really good for me.:perplexed

I wish I was 'strong' enough to do it until Black Friday. :look:

That would be Great!:lol:
Click to expand...


How is that Okra Reconstructor? I want to try it! Everytime I come up in this joint I see something new!

I may try my Komaza this weekend. I'm just coming out of a 3 week protective style.

chebaby Lady, please cross your fingers for me too! I need to pay taxes...not buy anything else...

rosalindb yup she has lost a lot of customers because she changes formulations a lot but over the past 6 months she has been a little more stable! She discontinued the twist and lock pudding but it was really hit or miss! I have it and really don't have a need for it.:ohwell:

Good morning ladies. I think my hair doesn't like EVOO! I said this in the past but I thought it was only because I was transitioning but last night my hair didn't feel too good while I was co-washing so I will skip the oil rinse tonight and see if that makes a difference. I ended up moisturizing with KCKT (used it up! yaay another empty bottle!! I won't be purchasing anymore anytime soon, I like Qhemet detangling ghees much better!) I ended up sealing my ends with SM Smoothie. I have a large bun again today, I did not have time to play with that tuck, roll, and pin style this morning! Tonight I will co-wash with the kbb condish, moisturize with kbb milk, and seal with SM smoothie or kbb butter love or DM buttercream, just whichever way the wind blows lol!

yea her line changes a lot. she discontinued a lot over the past year or two.
 
hey ladies.
last night i used the komaza protein and i like it. it hardened up pretty fast. i think i can use this more often than aphogee though because this one didnt feel rough when rinsing like aphogee does. im going to use it again on sunday because last night i only left it in for 10 minutes. sunday ill leave it in for 20.
then i detqangled withe HH and used dew, just a tiny bit, then a good amount of donna marie dcc and do you know today my hair is as soft as a baby's butt. it works now. or maybe only with the dew. we will see because ill be using it again on sunday.

i think im going to buy another bottle of komaza protein because i think ill be using it 2x a month until i feel i no longer need it.

oh and i threw away my aphogee 2 step. it was only enough in it to do 1/4th of my hair and it was half cream half liquid and i dont remember it looking that way.

Ltown, i hope you find out whats wrong with your scalp. i know its frustrating.
 
Hey ladies! Came back from doctor as i knew it is seborrhic dermatitis from something, which i know pimento set it off, then komaza olive oil same day both have strong lemon oils, then the dye that i use henna and or loreal. I use henna/indigo last sunday and that definately made my temple worst. Thing you do to cover gray and grow hair.:nono: Something else i used last week didn't read the label had lemon was the Jasmine nourshing conditioner, i put it on and it sting:nono: So i got stronger poo, and cream off to get back it health. Good thing was i haven't lost alot of hair all over:grin:
 
I finished a Claudie's Reconstructor. I have back ups. I also finished HV's Acai Berry. No back ups. I guess I will restock on Black Friday.
