like something you have to purchase via internet or mail or maybe another member is nice enough to send it to you? I'm talking about products that you use on a regular basis.

If so, what products?
 
-All dominican products.
-Black Castor oil
-Chi Silk Infusion
-Qhemet Biologics
-Natural hair butters like Avocado, Mango, Aloe
-Color showers
-Denman brushes

All of the products I bought/sought out online. A few could be found in the next city over.

It would cost me more to drive and pick it up w/ $4 gas than it would to just order it online.
 
WEN Cleansing Conditioner
Jessicurl Too shea
Jessicul Weekly Treatment

I also buy my Ojon products (Restorative treatment and Revitalizing mist) from QVC, because they are cheaper there then at sephora.
 
I use to use Colorshowers in Black..it's the only rinse that really imparts long-lasting color.
And i just bought a buttload of oils and butters..lol

I have a few:

Qhemet Biologics

Hydratherma Naturals Growth Lotion and Growth Oil from www.healthyhairjourney.com. - use these every day :yep:

Essential balms products from www.essentialorganicbalms.com
-head to toe liquid balm w/ jojoba & honey
-indian hemp & jojoba head to toe balm

Oils and leave ins from www.shescentit.com
-Green Grape Leave In
-Moisture Mist leave in
-Deshani Scalp elixir

All of these I use either daily or a few times a week.
 
Asha's Mane Attraction
OyinHandmade Juices and Berries
Jessicurl Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment

I used to use Qhemet Biologics but I stopped.
 
Qhemet
Elucence
Karen's Body Beautiful
Oyin
Nature's Blessing Pomade
Activate Hydrate
Sheaterra organics
natural butters and oils, herbs, certain essential oils

I also buy all of my Aubrey products online because they're cheaper.
 
Why, if you don't mind me asking???
I just found that the Mane Attraction became my "Holy Grail" product. Qhemet's gel didn't have enough hold. I found that I liked Oyin's moisturizing products better. I don't think Qhemet's products are bad - they use excellent ingredients - my hair just likes other stuff better. :yep:

Thanks for letting me know :)

Neutrogena triple moisture products, ovation cell therapy, aletr ego. I live in England and I have to buy them from the USA. Sometimes the shipping is more than the cost of the products
 
It used to be Qhemet products but then she started selling them in a store round my way, although it can be hit and miss because its always going out of stock there. You have to know when the shipment is coming in or you're out of luck

Totally agree!!! :yep:

I buy (as it is not available in the UK) Verifen's Constant care for ends and, Hairline creme also, Robin Wood's Afro detangler and Flat Pressing creme.
 
Nutiva Coconut Oil by the gallon drum(Just came today. Yeah!)
All beauty products from the Black owned beauty supply association(BOBSA)
Silk Amino Acids
 
Hmmm, almost everything I use. I'm currently living in Ghana so I have to order them all online and ship them to my bro in Charlotte. He ships a box of supplies including my subscriptions - to me at the end of every month.

Ayuevedic Powders and oils (got my last stash from India)
Qhemet Amla H. Cream
Dominican Conditioners (Silicon M. Mrs Keys, Salerm)
Aubrey Conditioners
Mizani Moisturefuse
CHI Silk infusion


I'm lucky to be able to find Karacare and Elasta QP products locally so I don't have to import those. Imagine my monthly international shipping bills :wallbash:... SO doesn't call me obsessed for nothing.
 
Elucence MB Shampoo and Conditioner

But there are plenty of things I want to try that I will have to order online:
KCCC/ Knot Today
Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade

Oh definitely! I'd say about 90% of my products are bought online. For example,
all my ayurveda products,
Nexxus products,
keracare products,
Dominican hair care products,
most of my carrier and essential oils,
Kenra products,
Ovation cell therapy,
Mega-tek,
Suave humectant,
Chi silk infusion, Elucence products,
Silk amino acids,
honeyquat,
citric acid,
Aloe vera oil and gel,
Jamaican black castor oil,
shealoe
Shea oils

I think you have the idea.
