im glad you heard back from bj too
im not tempted to buy anything either. i was just afraid i would run out of protein but i believe i have enough

chebaby Didn't you get HV Methi-Set? Did you ever try it?

If you get low on 'Protein' before June you know I can always hook you up with a little somethin'.:eyebrows2

thank you
yea i got the methi set. i havent tried it but i am looking forward to it. the protein is super light based on the ingredients but i think the first ingredient is black tea water which stops shedding right? so thats good.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

chebaby And I'll finally get a chance to use the Methi-Set (now that I'm diggin' down in my Stash).

And if you get hard-up you can always get a spritz bottle and pull that durn Duo-Tex back out.

 

[mkd]

I put my steamer together in less than five minutes and ran a test cycle. I will use it for the first time friday.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

mkd I'm so excited! I can't wait until Friday.

So Steam with something good!

Today I had on something that looked like this but it was black

I entered into Sally's on my quest to learn more about dryers before buying one.

Sally's Af. Am. Clerk: I love your beanie
Me: Thank you
Clerk: I would wear one to work but I don't want to look ghetto
Me: Is that what you think of my head gear?
Clerk: No, but you know....
Me: No, I don't
Clerk: I'm just saying....
Clerk: Do you have a lot of colors
Me: Yes
Clerk: So do I. My dreads fit nicely under them.
Me: I wear these to work without any issues. I'm complimented often. I actually wear it so that I have a few pieces of hair hanging out for the bang and the rest tucked away.
Clerk: I will try that and see if they accept it here.
GIRL BYE

ETA: And this chick is a hair stylist, doing hair out of her home. Has given me a business card several times and asked to do my hair. Yeah, right! I'm not interested on so many levels.

 

[Eisani]

IDareT'sHair yes, K Pak liters $14.99, Dumb Blonde $12:99, both oos. I wasn't talkin about making my own K Pak , just a protein condish.

divachyk she wouldn't be in my head either. Folks just don't know how to stop talking before they say something stupid.

ETA: Chelated then dc'd on one side w/Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor, the other side with some jar that the label is smeared but say Reconstructor I have no idea where it's from. Rinsed and used CJ Rehab and put my hair in four big loose braids. Oh, rubbed my sulfur oil mix into my scalp as well.

I've got a bottle of Mixed Silk that I am contemplating chucking. It sucks. I bought it on a whim recently and it sucks soooooo bad. It is sticky and tacky and leave white balls in my hair. When my hair dries it makes it crunchy. Gel doesnt make my hair crunchy but this crap does. I dont even think that if I mix it anything that it can be salvaged. It is that bad.

 

[natura87]

Found a container of Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Moisturizer, about half full. I hope to use that up by the 27th of February too.

Right now Leave in and Deep Treatments are my thing.

I might pick up a few things from Marie Dean, I've got time to "research" her products before I buy. I've hears great things and 25% is nice.

 

[Brownie518]

I have started my use up list. So far, I plan to finish:

It's Perfectly Natural Pre Treatment
Camille Rose Algae mask
CD Black Vanilla Smoothie
BFH Mango Macadamia mask
Avocado & Silk
Shi Naturals Tea Rinse
Shi Naturals Prepoo Buttercreme
HTN Oil
HTN Follicle Booster
SD Nourish
SD PRE
Shi Naturals Grow Potion

Hopefully, I can knock these out by March.

 

[natura87]

I forgot how much I love the smell of the Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter.

 

[Eisani]

Hey there! My side by side comparison of the reconstructors was a success. Both sides are super soft, the illegible jar detangled my hair really well and that side feels a wee bit softer than the Aphogee side. On the other hand, the Aphogee curls are more defined. If I could read the brand on the jar, it would certainly be a repurchase because it doesn't contain mineral oil and stuff like Aphogee . I'll have to do some digging. This is one down side to being a pj- I have no idea when/where/who this jar came from.

So this is the wig that is going to keep me from hitting "pay now" for 2012. My friend hates it! He said I look old! Heck, I'm almost 42! Oh well, I like it! He hurt my feelings!

 

[Eisani]

bronzebomb Um, your friend is crazy. I think it's cute!

 

[mkd]

bronzebomb, that is cute.

 

[divachyk]

bronzebomb - that wig is cute imho! I wish I could find a wig that is believable. All mine look wiggy. What's the secret/catch to wig selection?

 

[bronzebomb]

mkd Eisani divachyk - Thank you very much. I started looking online for something else, but, my friends said it looked natural. The problem I find is that my head is too large for normal wigs, so, I'm stuck using a full wig as a half wig. Hopefully he won't laugh as he gets accustomed to it!

divachyk - no secret, trial and error. I try not to get shiny wigs.

 

[Brownie518]

That MD Coffee & Kokum DC is nice!!!!!!

Bronze, that looks cute! Your friend is buggin

 

[chebaby]

chello everyone
T, i got my package today. thank you the kyra conditioner smells so dang good and the texture looks like a thick butter i bet it could be used as a heavy leave in too.

i co washed my hair today(cause it was dry as a bone) with AO GPB and used giovanni direct leave in and my curls seem like they are back(of course this excludes the front bang section) so i am happy about that.

and i still dont have any urges to buy anything.

i like the wig. it looks real.
thats messed up what your friend said. you should have kicked him in the balls lol.

 

[robot.]

Mama T must've known the fight against winter ash is real cuz she set me up with the body butters. thanks!

meanwhile, i LUB swanson vitamins yall, ohmylawd. they alway send me $5 coupons and you can't beat 1.99 shipping. if only they carried my EFAs, i'd never go anywhere else! if they had a stock as bit as vitacost, i'd lose my dayum mind.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Eisani Hey Lady! I thought you were saying you were finna' make some K-Pak! Or should I say: E-Pak

I was thankin'.....Lawd E Got Skillz.

 

[Shay72]

ITA with what everyone said @bronzebomb.I don't like wigs and that makes me want to wear one. It is really cute.

So I picked up my Shi Naturals today. That's it. I don't have anything else coming. I already know I will love the pre poo . It's looking like Sunshine . She was not playing with the garlic huh ? Still thinking if I want to keep the Henna Gloss since I'm cutting out ayurveda. We shall see. One thing is I wish she would put the ingredients on the bottle because now I have to go to the site to remind me.

Day 5 and 6 (today) of the detox went well. Yesterday was my first day back to work and as soon as I walked into the door one of my coworkers was like "your hair ". Ya'll know I am bored and I need to put something in my hair. It looks really curly but like it needs some moisture. One more day .

 

[IDareT'sHair]

chebaby Glad your package came That Kyra gets some good reviews too.

robot. Yeah, I know you like body stuff and some of the "Hair Stuff" I thought about sending you were tryna' sell in your thread, so I said: "hmm...lemme do more body stuff & less hair stuff".

bronzebomb Girl, Fortay is the New Twenny. You look good.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Shay72 Me too Shay. erplexed

I've been thinking about that since last week. Lemme tell her she should put the Ingredients on those durn Labels.

Thanks for reminding me. That's been bothering me.

 

[robot.]

i was out of shea butter and didn't have too long left in my shea butter mix. that hairveda soap smells amazing too and i was almost out of soap! you were right on time, like a second christmas

yea i saw a few yt vids on it but imma go back tonight and refresh my memory on it

 

[IDareT'sHair]

robot. I'm glad you like your box ro-ro.

I know what it is to be a "struggling" college student.

All your Hard work will pay off in the end. Just stick with it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

yea i saw a few yt vids on it but imma go back tonight and refresh my memory on it

@chebaby Yeah, folks was tryna' compare it to: Oyin HH. I don't know 'bout all that, but it does smell good.

We'll see tho'. I just named Oyin HH on my Continued Hits!

I forgot how much I lurve that stuff. It's like one of the best Cowash Conditioners evvver!.... Especially for this time of year.

I don't want to blow skrait through that bottle (although I want to use it up), so Imma rotate with something else on Saturday. Maybe Too Shea!(since it's already open)
