Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

I forget your in the Bahamas! The DE doesn't play well with gel. Probably because it has its own hold. It's meant to be a final step and I noticed when I used it with leave in, it was fine, but when I used it this summer it was a fail. I like it, but probably won't repurchase because I could only use it for a couple months.

Agreed! Only problem was, it didn't have enough hold for my hair with all the humidity we have here. I still had frizz after about 2 hours of the DE in my hair and needed something with a stronger hold.

Another thing I don't like about the DE Honey Custard - I had to shampoo my hair at least 4-5 times just to wash it out this morning. I certainly will NOT be using that again. I may end up stripping my hair of it's natural oils if I have to keep that up daily. So no, it goes in the trash.

I absolutely loved SD's DH Relaxed.

I didn't care for WhGB but willing to retry it now as a Natural Head whenever I can catch a good deal.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm using the bottle. I havent had an issue with the bottle yet. I feel like I'm the only one ,lol. I kind of like the way it sprays out of the bottle.

@shawnyblazes
It was awkward for me to use (don't ask me why?) My grip is off or something. *shrugs*

No, @curlyhersheygirl had no problem using the bottle as well.

Whoa, did you relax your hair again @IDareT'sHair?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Sorry Gurl....I meant Natural.

How was your day

@shawnyblazes
Glad it's almost "Hump" Day. How is/was yours?

Tryna' decide what I'm using tomorrow and......thinking that I need to Henna this weekend.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@shawnyblazes
I'm also tryna' use up:
DB Pumpkin Seed
SSI Banana Brulee
NG Coconut & Water
LACE Bramhi

I am way over my limit of open DC'ers. My personal best is x2 no more than x3 at one time.

 

[Aggie]

Sorry Gurl....I meant Natural.

@Aggie

okay. Whew! That was a close one @IDareT'sHair

 

[Aggie]

I need to try some new DC on the weekend. I need to go shop my stash. I finished one of the NG marshmallow Root DC - the one that's protein-free and I'm halfway through the other one that I guess has protein in it. I'm saving it for a really bad hair day. I used up my NG Coconut Water and Mango Deep Conditioner as well.

So something new is in order. Let me go look...

@Aggie

It shole was a close one!
I'll be 23 months Post 08/26. I do not want to repeat this lesson again.

Stressful but I'm alive and as this world gets crazier and crazier, I'm thankful to be stressed.

Waiting on this blessing from the Lord!!

I tried it as a rinse out. It was not the business. I used as a leave in. Ok, I'll let it sit there. Maybe I'll force myself to use it lol

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I Steeped a Pot of Fresh Ginger Root to use as a Rinse tomorrow.

@Saludable84
I thought you were going to keep this as a ligher-weight back up?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I am loving the APB ginger root lotion so much. I can't wait until I can repurchase this item.

Oddly, I'm not that into the balm.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@shawnyblazes
Interesting. I must try that Lotion. Good to know about the Balm.

I think it's the texture and I don't grease my scalp. @IDareT'sHair I do want to try the oil @IDareT'sHair

@shawnyblazes
So, there's a Ginger Oil too? Hmph. I do "grease" my scalp, so I may like the Balm. Um...what's the texture like?

 

[Aggie]

Okay I think I will be using some Redken Extreme Builder Plus with SSI Riche Moisture Conditioner this coming weekend. I just realized that I don't have any handmade protein conditioners but I will be rectifying that during the labor day sales. I have enough commercial protein treatments to last me a long time but I want to try something hand-made for a change.

NG Bamboo and Babassu Deep conditioner and the NG Natural Aloe and Avocado Deep Conditioner sounds great. I don't think I will be ordering the Intense Deep Conditioner. Didn't hear much raving reviews about that one unless someone can chime in about it. APB Bamboo and Algae Strengthening Mask also looks good. This is tough.

Mmmmmm, it's like the a hard balm that you have to knead slightly for it to give and then rub to sink in @IDareT'sHair. It's a slightly tingle to it too.

@IDareT'sHair

Girl

I am lovin' dem so much. I don't know how I'm ever going to get through that other stash of mine - you know that commercial one I have?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie
I bought NG Intense when she 1st launched and never reupped on it. IMO: I think you made better choices with the ones you bought.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Girl

@Aggie

Yeah, I gave up Salon Brands, for the most part, for the Handmades.

I still use a few Salon Brands from time to time, specifically Proteins & Reconstructors.

Oh Awesome Sauce @IDareT'sHair,

This makes me happy right here .

@IDareT'sHair I don't think I can give up my commercial products just yet, especially since I can get them right here OTG! It's just easier when I can't get my hands on the handmade stuff, ya know?
