Have any of you heard of Sukin Nourishing Conditioner?? I found it at Marshall's today for $7.99. It's Australian made natural.

I'm attaching a picture of the front and ingredients list, along with a list of what's not in it. This brand sounds so familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I say it's worth a try and if I don't like it, it's going back.

My daughter has a few more washes left in her Giovanni smooth as silk conditioner so I thought I could grab this seeing that its all natural and vegan.

They have a ton of this at my local TJ Maxx. Let me know if you like it. If so, I may go grab a bottle. I seen a couple in the sale section for 3 dollars.

I might try it on myself tonight since I'm shampooing. If it doesn't turn out good then it'll be easier to rinse out of my hair rather than dd's natural hair. I'll keep both you and shortdub78 posted.

DominicanBrazilian82, I've had a corrective done once. I had it done the same day as my regular scheduled TU. The stylist applied the relaxer to the under processed areas the last 5 minutes of the TU. Are you getting any breakage from the varying textures (sure hope not!).
Click to expand...

No. No breakage. Just weird when I rollerset and humidity hits it... My roots and hair are straight, and then there's this 2.5 inch patch that is curly and frizzy just below the newest relaxed hair. I will take a pic later tonight when I wash to show you.

O lord....I hope I didn't forget anyone this time around. Our crew has expanded :lachen:

Anyhoo....I am at the salon getting a touch up as we speak. As a matter if fact, I'm sitting under the dryer right now, waiting for my roller set to dry :yep:
I was 12.5 weeks post. Can't wait for the final product. Will post pictures when I get home :spinning:

Xoxo

That last five minutes makes so much sense. I will practice with conditioner tonight and a few other wash days until I do my TU.

ok ladies! my package finally arrived today! yay!
i opened them right away and smelled everything. the scents are light to me. i guess i really wanna smell like a bakery! but they still smell good, yummy, and fresh.

Nourish oil smells like a caramel frappe' to me it is a nice rich oil. very good for sealing or adding to your conditioners.
the satin smooth hair cream does smell like blackberry vanilla and the scent is light. a little goes a long way. it is very light to the touch, it is more of a whipped creamy texture.
the Waterfalls Silk Hydrating Spritz is a light perfume scent and is truly a mist. it doesn't wet your hair, but it really does hydrate it.

the wheat germ conditioner is kind of a light nutty, buttery kind of scent, but it's a clean scent. felt nice to the touch.

the Go Moist cleanser is light and foamy. the scent reminds of the the Waterfall mist scent.

the Vanilla Silk Cream Moisture is like a whipped butter consistency. it smells yummy and like butter cookies to me.

i tried the mist, the satin cream, and the nourish oil using the LOC method. i was very light handed. my hair is very fine and i am bone straight, so a little goes a long way. if i would have applied too much, my hair would have been weighted down. after applying the products, my hair feels nourished!

i wrapped my hair up and put my scarf on, so we will see how my hair feels in the morning.

if all goes well, these will be my hair spa treatment go tos. like when i want to pamper myself.

i do plan on ordering again in the future of just the things i used this evening.

I need the nourish oil in my life :yep:. I forgot she had the mist. She use to sell it individually. I wonder why she stopped.

so i see i will have to buy the bundle again? because i know i am going to be using that mist. but that's ok i guess. i can use that oil for my body. i put some on my skin and i can still smell it! i like it alot!

I'm finger detangling my hair while watching the Bachelorette. From this point on in this stretch, I will be finger detangling prior to shampooing. 'll be 9 weeks post on Wednesday and my NG is trying to show me whose boss. I'm trying to stretch to 17 weeks do I'm going to need some cheerleaders. Sixteen weeks was my longest stretch ever and that was a struggle.

I've been seriously thinking of getting medium box braids to help me get. I can't do wigs because I sweat in my head something fierce. If you have worn a weave OR braids, what is the shortest and longest you've ever kept them in??

Shortest I've worn braids was two weeks (cornrolls). The longest was 3 months (kinky twist and micro braids)

My initial thoughts on the Sukin conditioner is:
1. It lacks slip but has a little
2. The smell is medicinal but not too bad. Reminds me of AO GBP's scent
3. It's very light
4. Product seems to seep right into my hair very quickly
5. While in hair it doesn't feel uber soft

It's still in my hair, I probably rinse it out in about an hour. If I like it while and after rinsing I'll probably keep it and add it to another deep conditioner because the ingredients are awesome. If I hate it, it's going back to Marshall's and if I love it, I'll use it to CW granted her/my hair feels clean afterwards.

.....KiWiStyle...Not very much slip huh? Yeah I'll pass on it. I need slip in my life :yep:.

So in the Chi Kiwi is getting her DC....Meanwhile in Georgia Enexit ain't did nothin' but detangled and applied her prepoo. I still need to Shampoo, Do my reconstructive treatment, and steam (DC).

*SIGH* I sure wish this struggle wasn't as real as it is......:(
 
KiWiStyle, I normally GHE with castor but tried evoo since my hair was acting weird. Castor is thick and I didn't want to stress my strands. My hair feels better GHEing with evoo than castor. Just thought I share that with you since you mentioned evoo. I normally only use evoo when mixing it in my DCners. I stopped sealing with it a long time ago. Avocado is my boo.

shortdub78, the salt conditioner worked awesome. I think my hair is almost feeling normal. I'm gonna give it a few more days before I make any hard, firm claims so that I don't have to eat my words.

Can you use salt often? Or once in a blue? divachyk
