I finished my grapeseed oil. No back up but definitely a repurchase. I also finished a jar of Shea Moisture's Anti Breakage Masque. I have at least 1 back up for that.
 
Hi Ladies :)

I almost done with a jar of KeraPro restorative and the matching shampoo, but I have more where those came from :look:, Sally only puts those on sale maybe 1-2 times a year..gotta get it in.

I've been doing pretty good on a low/no-buy but I started out today on the hunt for a non-sulfate shampoo I could buy locally and got distracted :lol: First of all, why is it so hard to find Creme of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo. I broke down and went to the BSS (hated it) and could not believe that one of the ladies working there (black woman) had never heard of Argan oil (:spinning:). I also asked her about good shampoos and she recommended Pantene or Dark 'n Lovely :ohwell: I left with Queen Helene's Garlic Shampoo.. not what I came for but it has a simple formula with garlic high on the list and it's cheap, maybe it'll be useful deep into a relaxer stretch to combat shedding. Guess I'll have to order the CON Argan Oil 'poo online *sigh*.

I made it to Ulta eventually and was pleasantly surprised, I've been sleepin on their clearance items.

I picked up the 25 oz Tigi Catwalk Honey & Oatmeal Shampoo for damaged hair - the ingredients look very promising and it was $9.99.

I also scored 16oz Mario Badescu Glycolic Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion (4% glyc. acid) for $16. That should last me a good while and I'm trying to get serious about treating my acne scars/dark marks.
 
Quite offended. Still haven't received my body butter from KBN! natura87 I will be emailing her yet again. The way she was talking, I'd receive my butter by the end of the week. Yeah ok, totally wasn't the case.
 
So 5/19 is the first National Natural Hair Meetup Day and Koils by Nature will be hosting an event. Right now I'm hoping someone else in the DMV will hold an event so I will have a choice but we shall see. They will be having them all over the country so here is the website. www.nnhmd.com.

I will be in ATL 3/29-4/1 to visit a friend. My first time ever. Any suggestions on places I have to go?

Thanks choctaw!
 
Mernin' Ladies:wave:

Just massaged in some Janky-Stanky Home-made Coffee Oil.:lol:

@Shay72 what's the status? Are you still infusin' your blend?

Mine is skrong right now, maybe because I did the crock pot thing. I can't imagine how SKRONG it would be with Crock Pot + 2 weeks.:blush:
 
@Shay72

It had solidifed this a.m. But I ran hot water over one of the bottles and applied. I know exactly what to do next time.:look:

I will be using that Oil as a pre-poo as Choctaw suggested. It's a bit too Skrong to be wearing out in public.:lol:

Have you gotten all your Teas yet? I wanted some Marshmallow Root, but I think I may just work with what I got.:ohwell:

Horsetail
Nettle
Burdock Root
Moringa
Saw Palmetto
Rosemary
Blue Malva *flowers*
Hibiscus *flowers*
Calendua *flowers*
Roobis
Curly's Ulitmate Blend from @curlyhersheygirl

Should last me through Summer.
 
IDareT'sHair
I think they're sitting over at the condo office because I got a package notice. We shall see. I hope to be tea spritzing and steaming by Wednesday. Oh yeah I will be using my tea spritzes and coffee/tea spritzes under my dc's too.
 
Shay72 Njoy lives in Atlanta. Think Janet' lives there also. I only visit there but last time I visited, it was pre-LHCF. I will be reaching out to them when I travel there later in the year. As for food, we always go to Gladys Knight Chicken & Waffle if you like soul food. We get the fried chicken.
 
SM has new products, anyone see? evoo and moringa shampoo and conditioner, a gel, styling custard, and hair butter. and honey and black seed keratin wrap mousse and flat iron spray.
 
I want some oils from Darcy's or something. Hell, even the Trigga :lol:. Not like I need any, just got some in the mail with my Camden Grey shipment.

Cowashed w/Too Shea! and dc'd w/Olive You. Airdrying in a pony, but may do some chunky twists and leave em in for a couple days. Lemme go peek at Darcy's. I can't add nothing to my MD cart for some reason :ohwell:
 
@Eisani

Hey Ms. E! Girl, me too. I want something, but I want it to be something I want.:lol: (if that makes sense):look:

I didn't see the SM Moringa Conditioner on line. But they have alot of 'new' Shampoo Bars.

I didn't even know SM had Shampoo Bars.
 
IDareT'sHair I got some Darcy's Plum Kernel oil, pumpkin seed elixir, Qhemet Aethiopika and Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee from Sage. That flat rate shipping now is the bomb.com!
 
Hey ladies! I think imma make a coffee oil, follow Shay72 method. I got cocoasta, and I got some of those coffee cups u use in the machine. I ain't gotta a machine so instead of buying an oil, I'll make.

Also Shay72 - do u use a protein powder for ur shakes?

Eisani - I may hit up Sage next week. Been wanting some DB oils & flat rate shipping sounds good to me.

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
 
Don't need any DB Oils. I got some good ones a while back

Cherry x2
Plum x2
Peach x2
Watermelon x2
Pumpkin Exlir x2

So I'm set with those.

And I have 2 SM Exlirs that also smells amazing.:lick:
 
@Golden75
Yes, I use Market Pantry (Target brand) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. I picked it based on this video on youtube describing the best way to choose a protein powder. It does have sucralose which she did not recommend but it meets all of the other requirements so I feel pretty good. I make it with soy, almond, or coconut milk depending on what I have. I also throw some fruit in there which is usually grapes (don't sleep) or, strawberries, or banana.


Her recommendations:
  • 5 g or less of sugar per serving
  • no artificial sugar like sucralose or aspartme but sweetened with truvia or stevia
  • whey protein, whey protein isolate, or combo of both (what I have has both)
  • 14-25 g of protein per serving
She likes Designer's Whey and Jay Robb protein powders.

Finished SSI's Okra Reconstructor. I have a few back ups.

IDareT'sHair, I didn't know you like SSI Okra. I stocked up on that on the last sale. I purchased SSI Honey and Avocado conditioners this sale (Golden75). I have my WEN ginger pumpkin pulled out and sitting on the counter. It's screaming, exchange forum.

My hair was a dry and breaking mess from DM Miracurl so to restore moisture I o/n DC with AOWC before starting my regi.

Today I:
Shampooed with CON Argan
Protein with Ion Effective
Steaming with Purabody Smoothie

First time using the smoothie. My hair felt soft upon applying but I dang near used up the entire little container. I seriously only have about 2 scoops left in that container.

I will roller set later tonight. I will report back on how I like the smoothie.
 
divachyk

Yes, I really like Okra. The only reason I didn't get it, is because I have like 40 reconstructors and I want to start using some of those.

So, I didn't re-up on Okra for now.:sad:

The next ones Imma put in rotation are:

Claudie
MHC Honey & Horsetail Reconstructor
Jasmine's Rebuilder
 
IDareT'sHair, I'm good on reconstructors because I don't use protein often. I'm almost out of my Ion. I won't repurchase immediately. I'll wait until I use up my Joico Kpak recon and SSI Okra.
 
@divachyk

Yep.:grin: So Am I (real good). I have several

Goldwell
K-Pak
Sebastian Penetraitt
Pureology
Dudley Rebuilder
Nexxus Emergencee
Nexxus Keraphix
AG Fast Food
My Honey Child
Claudie
Jasmine
L'Anza

IDareT'sHair, that is some list of reconstructor, my hair starves for protein especially since last year fall out. Its been a year already:blush: taking that ling to rcover too. I keep aphogee, nexuss on had, need more but i will use up all first.

divachyk, shay, i use protein powder but notice alot of them has been giving me bloating so read Jay Robbs egg protein has soy the fine lines. :nono: i'm switching to vega protein; no soy, or gluten.
 
chello ladies:wave:
