HV issued me a refund for the product only but didn't provide a prorated refund for shipment. The 30% offer was still extended to me. Overall, I'm pleased with the refund but disappointed in the product mishap. It makes me question all natural products. I never thought about the heat's impact on products. Just think, had I not been a part of the thread discussion, I would have used that product without second guessing the dark spots, unless of course they worsened enough to make me question.

I am stocked with all the items I want from HV. That mold issue bothers me and tends to make me not want to repurchase (personal preference). Right now, I feel like a test dummy. I could have gotten sick. Black mold is the worst. However, I love the Sitrinillah, so it's a suitable replacement. I hope this is a base.

I went on Sage.com last night to see if I can get that Uncle Funky's Daughter...why have a 30% off sale and not have stuff in stock, like OHM and UFD????

Yep, my PJ'ism is wearing down. Too many disappoinments.

@chebaby I started my health kick too...maybe that's the next "additonal thread." "How to make Healthy taste good."

well all i like is fish so im just gonna eat that and cut out all the fast food. for the past week ive been eating very light(i usually eat until im stuffed and then go back for more if i see someone else eating:lol: i love food) and its been so surprisingly easy. i drink a cup of soy milk with maca in the morning and it feels me up for hours. have you ever tried maca. it makes soy milk taste like a milkshake:lick:
then at night i drink soy milk with wheat grass. in between i drink a ton of water and eat fish and salads.

back to hair. i got bored so i took out my braids and today im gonna co wash with daily fix and follow up with repair me. then ill wash and go with direct leave in.

I ordered my Sitrinillah. I guess I'm going to have to refrigerate my products that I like, and slowly get rid of all the other products. I don't trust any of them now!

so Curl Junkie and Miss Jessie's are the only two lines with a manufacturer?

Oyin doesn't count, I get that freshly made! (Her stuff is stable, I heard her talk about this)

Nope, never tried maca, but it's worth a try. Where do I get it?

I'm a foodie too. I love rice and beans...I'm a old country gurl!

I'm told pescetarian eating helps fight cancer. I'm converting.

I'm trying Curl Junkie this weekend. I may do a full weave. I may purchase a Mason Pearson comb.
 
bronzebomb, i got my maca from whole foods. i read a lot about it and it does say its supposed to increase your libido but i aint notice that lol. im taking it to balance my hormones and i think its working because ive been taking it for 2 weeks and i started my cycle yesterday when i havent had one all year:yep:
i did read that it gives you a bigger butt but i read those on forums so i take that with a grain of salt.
 
I'm upset that I didn't get to try my Claudie's before I get my hair braided tomorrow. I'm missing my hair already and I haven't even put them in yet:lachen:. Hopefully I can keep them in for 8 weeks and then it will be my 1 year natural hair birthday:grin:
I clarified today with joico chelating shampoo and did a protein treatment with komaza protein. I deep conditioned with komaza olive under the dryer and I preferred this than the steamer because it didn't leave build up on my scalp. Then I detangled with HV 24/7 and put it in 8 braids to stretch for tomorrow. I moisturised with the dew & AOHC. My hair felt great and my breakage has greatly reduced. I think it would completely stop after 1 more mild protein use but I need to do my hair tomorrow because there is no other time this month I can do it and I'm tired of going to work looking a mess.
Can anyone recommend a spray of some sorts that has protein aswell. I think my hair needs it instead of just moisture. I'm really praying that my hair behaves when it comes time for take down. I don't wanna see a bunch of broken hairs :nono:

@Ese88 here is the one I used when I had senegalese twist in a year ago http://manentail.com/products/hair-strengthener/ It's pretty good and you can get it locally

ETA: It's not all natural, but at least it won't take 50 days to receive it and it won't sprout fungi.

Hey Ladies. I have been so sad all day about HV and asking BJ for a Refund and all.:sad:

Ya'll I just feel sad.:sad:

I'm sure she'll gets my Monnneeee back (and more),:look: but this whole ordeal was really draining.:lol:

I cleansed my hair with ASIAN Cleansing Pudding and did an HV Acai Phyto Berry Cowash. Will Steam with ButtersnBars (but I'd better look at it 1st).:ohwell:
 
My NC memberPJ coworker is in the London office this week and next week. She emailed me and told me she's making a trip yo the Lush flagship store and is going to bring me back some goodies. Her exact words, "prepare to love me forever!" I can't wait!!

2 DB Deep Conditioners
1 DB Exlir
1 DB Pumpkin Seed Conditioner
1 DB Cleansing Conditioner
 
chebaby Yeah, so far their CS for the most part has been pretty good.:yep:

Hopefully, they will just keep moving forward.

They've been getting a few 'Mixed' Reviews, but overall, they've been good.:yep:

I was just looking around for something to buy to get over being Distraught over HV:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Happy Friday! So beautiful outside in the city today. Did a twistout with QB CocoaDetangler and some Apricot Seed Oil.

Checking on that Sage sale though.

I love that stuff, but it's so much like Henna (rubber gloves & all). And you hafta' rinse for an eternity too:lol: Just like Henna. It's good.

I am under the dryer now.:yep:

I pulled the rest of my Bear Fruit Hair and Stuck it in the Fridge. Now, I'm tryna' figure out exactly what to refrigerate.:nono:
