@divachyk
After I finished it, I never had the desire to repurchase it. And never have.

I was a 'newbie' then and didn't know what to expect? I got nothing from it.

But maybe, at the time, I didn't know what to look for.

I do remember the bottle and the scent though....

I'll see what @curlyhersheygirl says.

always smelled like burnt fish to me.

@curlyhersheygirl
I should finish up some things tomorrow. ST'icals Molasses (x1 back up) and maybe DB DC'ing Hair Mask (x2-x3 back ups) or BRB Chocolate Roze (x1 back up...I think).

@shawnyblazes
Definitely a pungent scent one must get accustom to if they choose to use it. I thought more along the lines of burnt leaves or something?

I may revisit this oil as a Natural to do a Finger Detangle Pre-Rx once I use up my EVCO.

@shawnyblazes & @IDareT'sHair
Wow I never got that only heavenly coconuts. I wonder how it is that you guys got a burnt smell?

Folks raved about it like 10 years ago so I scooped it up and never could get past the smell. I moved ont to Vatika oil and Vatika Frosting or organic coconut oil. I could never get past that smell @curlyhersheygirl

@curlyhersheygirl @shawnyblazes
Maybe 'roasted' is a better choice of words than "burnt".

I do know it was/is a royal pain to get out of the bottle.

Next time I purchase it, I will do better and evaluate it properly.

Slid into Tar'jay during lunch and was able to grab a KBB Pomade for 5 bucks. I wish I coulda' gotten more, but they only had x1.

Working on my Fall/Winter Stash.

I got Ship Notices For:
Lawrence Ray Concepts (Shake & Go)
Treasured Locks (Knot No More detangling creme)

I threw out a jar of Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Curling Gel because no matter how I used it, I either ended up with hard crunchy hair or flakes. That is a definite

I also used up a tube of Redken Time Reset Youth Revitalizer Mask. I liked that one and now I'm on to another tube.

Picked up my packages - Sarenzo, Claudie's, and Target (flash chill iced tea maker).

Love all the Sarenzo scents I picked (Scents of Morocco, When Doves Cry [Sea Salt & Rice Flower OR Bora Bora, can't remember exactly which one], and Berries & Tonka)

@rileypak
Are these from the most recent Sale? Or no?

 

[rileypak]

No
A different order I'd placed

 

[rileypak]

Dang it man! I gotta email Claudie.
Looks like she's adding quinoa protein to the Renew Treatment and the Revitalizing Reconstructor according to the labels even though the website didn't list it

@rileypak

Hopefully package withdraw won't set in. Glad my LRC Shipped and also my Treasured Locks.

You're not nice lol I'm thinking 50 or below

When you figure it out, please let me know. I'm holding at 245 and that's just for those that don't contain any protein; it doesn't include the ones that do contain protein...or the pre-poos, or the cowashers, or the detanglers...

Ya'll know I'm queen of wishy washy but some days I wish I could wake up to a stash that made sense. Other days, I love my stash so much that I could lay on the floor and make snow angels out of pure excitement of popping open a new deep conditioner.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I could have sworn i had two more leave in conditioners from APB but i think the men in my house are dipping into my stash!

@PJaye That's exactly what's happening over at my house and what's worse is that majority are 16oz jars. I've been trying to get the number down for some time but if I ever figure it out I'll let you know.

 

[Shay72]

I'm in a "I hate my hair" phase. Maybe I'm doing too much. I just need to go back to my basics. That means no powders after I'm done and I'm back to dc's. So now I need to buy some deep conditioners. I swear I'm gonna get it right one of these days.

@Shay72
Yep. Grab a few DC'ers and just take your time and ease back into it.

Please do. I'm beginning to believe that it's a legitimate addiction because I knew exactly what @divachyk meant in her post. Add to that the euphoria that comes with the receipt of a package and the boundless bliss I experience when sampling new products, especially conditioners (I won't even mention the excitement that comes from making lists and punching out figures during sale promotions). It's a cyclic existence that warrants some steps and a pamphlet.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used Up:
x1 Soultanicals Molasses Reconstruct (x1 back up)

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I want that KinkyKashmere DC'er but 20% ain't nothin'. Imma see what shipping looks like before I make my final decision.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Also finished up:

*hits the 'don't do it' button* That DC isn't very good. I got it during a 50% off sale and I still feel gyped. It has excellent slip...and that's all; no moisture, no softness, no nothing. Still, you may have a different outcome than I did.

@PJaye
Nope.

I don't have $20 to waste on a new vendor for a potentially substandard product.

No Thanks. I'll keep my coins.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

So tonight I opened a few boxes.
And to be totally honest with ya'll....I forgot I had them.

I know Ya'll won't judge.

x1 SSI Peach
x2 HTN Protein-Balance Leave-Ins
x1 CurlBox Naturally Smitten

My LRC and Treasured Locks might come tomorrow.
