that clown didn't get back in touch with me. so i found the one near CC Hills and he doesn't carry that line anymore, just Essations. so i tried to hunt down another and it just wasn't working out. the stylist i went to didn't want to give me any info either, so i just ordered the hydrating shampoo, that humectica conditioner?, and the foam wrap lotion. i don't know what i am going to do about washing my hair.

i know i won't be using NTM for a moisturizer anymore. it doesn't say it can be used on the bottle as such. just going to stay away from anything that can cause coating and protein buildup.

I'm sorry things didn't work out with the distributors. Who, where did you order from?

Girl all I read was the first sentence before I got pissed. Essations is the brand relaxer my stylist switched to and not that it was a part of her rotation but obviously it's because her distributor switched. It was decent but it got me straighter than I wanted and it was a little drying. I will be having a little conversation with her.

i bet that's the same distributor. i texted him yesterday and he told me that. i ordered from the site that was posted up thread
https://www.ensleybeautysupply.com/

i was going to order from nairobi's website, but i didn't want to be bothered with my license. it's not like they were gonna give me any discounts anyway. i am considering becoming a distributor myself!

You should become a distributor. My sister is a stylist so I may have her order for me. I don't wanna be buying some bootleg stuff. Is that site you ordered from authorized to sell their products??

This is the only site I order from outside of getting products from the BB Hair Show. They are authorized. The shipping is super fast and the customer service is always on point, I think of the flat $11.00 shipping as a balance when I order Nairobi and other goodies! Their sales and prices are amazing in comparison to other companies.

Where are you in relation to Alabama, they are in Ensley. I am in Atlanta and get mine in about 2 days. Hope you get it too cause I think you are going to be in love. Did you get the hydrating shampoo??
 
I've decided i'm going to self-texlax in four weeks. Hella nervous. Any recommendations on relaxers? I have a box relaxer but idk if that's a good one. I don't know the brand off hand but ti's a purple box and I got it in target lol. Dark and Lovely I think.

you know i went bananas with Silk Dreams and i ordered from Nairobi. i bought the hydrating shampoo, the conditioner humetic sil? and the wrap foam lotion. i didn't get any oils from them because i ordered the Nourish Oil from Silk Dreams. i got the Go Moist, Wheat Germ Conditioner, that waterfall bundle, and Vanilla Silk conditioner. plus i spent some money on some products a week or so ago. i got Mizani MoisturFusion, Rusk leave-in, and Nioxin 3 conditioner.

my next purchase might be another a curling iron or another scarf.

Saturday...Saturday....Saturday...i have the leave in...its ok. I prefer the it's a 10. I like their moisturizer and their med protein treatments they fool me like i don't need to dc after. My shed hair has minimized.... to a few strands a day. I use the poo and con every Saturday and prepoo with oils on Wednesday. My hair is thriving. Since being consistent I'm retaining more now than ever. I think you will be very pleased.

I'm co-washing for a twist-out. I'm officially 8 weeks post tomorrow and my NG is behaving itself, for now. 8 more to go...still waiting to get my Silk Dreams so I can see what all the hoopla is about. All-in-all I'm happy about my progress and my stretch.

Nothing. I cw'd yesterday but only had time to apply my leave-in and then I put it in a bun. I was too tired to M&S last night so I did it this morning. I M&S in four sections then spritz my NG with s curl. I'm back in a low bun and my hair is feeling marvelous as usual.

I highly recommend the Sedu Revolution when you do go flat iron shopping. My hair always looked like I let my child play in my hair after a self flat iron job, that is until I bought the Sedu. Before that I had the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium.

I've read a lot about its a 10 leave-in. It's on my buy list and I've seen it a few times but keep passing it up. That's the rehabilitated product junkie in me.

i have a croc and i like it a lot, but i am looking for a styler. one i can curl my hair with. i was going to purchase the Sedu, but i got scared after reviews of people saying it was very fragile. and i am a clumsy sucker when it comes to my flat iron. i still might invest, if i can get a nice warranty on it!

I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow and my hair is cooperating too, though my NG is feeling dense. I'm thinking of trying to do an 18 week stretch to 8/21 :-O!! I want to plan it so that the following relaxer will be mid-December for my end of year check in. I'm going to play it by ear and I know this s curl should help me get thru it.

I can't wait to read your silk dreams review!

I have the same Babyliss flat iron. I rarely use it because I'm trying to minimize hear and because I sweat like a beast and it ain't pretty. What was it you didn't like about it?

Crocs are very nice to. The Sedu is the most sturdy iron I've owned. The instructions says it can double as a curler, I don't know because my attempts at curling were painfully awful!

Somebody recommended Its A 10 but not the leave-in. They recommended the mousse...not impressed. Haven't tried the leave-in though.

1. The dial being on the side. I would accidentally turn the heat either all the way up or down.
2. My results were that of the days when I was buying irons from Walgreens. Keep in mind my skills are less than mediocre so I need my iron to do most of the work.
3. The plates were way too long. I don't know why anyone would need plates that long.
4. The casing got way to hot for my liking.

I found it for a great price at Nordstroms Rack. I sold it here on the product exchange thread.

My plan is to go to 16 weeks but I only want to relax two more times this year. I'm going to July 31, from there I'll play it by ear.

I love it! I have been using it so sparingly because of the price...so the Miracle 7 from Sallys has been a nice replacement and I got it on sale so that was a plus and with both a little goes a long way. I have no trouble with combing or shedding or tangling. Makes my hair super soft!!!
