I found these items at a local BSS:

I had my sister register with Nairobi as a professional so I can purchase from the pro line. She just told the distributor that I'm her assistant and will be making her orders and told him that he can communicate with me. I can't wait to get products from both the Pamper and Recovery lines!!!

Good for you. I can get all of Nairobi products on the ground here in Texas. I'm not sure about the relaxers though. My stylist uses Influance relaxer system. I'm not a fan of all of Nairobi products. I just like the Foam Wrap Lotion and the Humecta-Sil .
Is it hard to find Nairobi products in other parts of the US?

 

[xu93texas]

I shampoo today with SM Yucca & Baobob shampoo and DC with Giovanni SAS Deeper Moisture. I'm doing a modified CG method this summer. So far so good.

EnExitStageLeft, I was reading your blog and I noticed you are doing this as well. Your hair seems to be thriving. Do you think this has helped with length retention?

Oddly enough, me and my PJ self just ordered some Humecta-Sil and the foam wrap lotion.

My hair is much more plush and soft. I havent seen my actual length in a while, but it definitely feels longer. I pushed my relaxer up to August 3rd, so we will see then .

 

[SunySydeofLyfe]

LOL! I'm hoping I like the leave-in...I read one review after I bought it and the reviewer said it did make her final style look dull and lifeless but gave great slip. Maybe I'll have better results...fingers crossed.

The moisturizer is nice. I went on a high and low hunt after reading a thread here one day. Imma do a full Nairobi hair run tonight...the only thing i don't have is the oils.

I just bought the large bottle of Giovanni SAS conditioner from TJ Maxx yesterday. I don't normally use it but since I use it on DD, I figured we will share for a little while.

The stuff is amazing (One of my HG cowashes). My SO uses the Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo and Condish, so I tend to stock on Giovanni often.

Yes it's hard to find because Nairobi sells through authorized distributors ( individuals) only and on their website but only a few items (non-professional) are sold there. I read on their website that no other site or locations are authorized to sell and they can't guarantee the product if bought other than directly through them.

I love TJ Nourish Spa conditioner, I always have it in stock for CW. My hair actually feels like a washed with a moisturizing shampoo afterwards AND it's dirt cheap!

You have all their products other than the oils?!?!? That's brand love and loyalty right there.

Got it. I was curious b/c I live near a bss warehouse (they renovated an old Target store) that sells almost EVERYTHING! They carry so many Nairobi products.

How much did you pay for a large bottle ? I usually buy from Whole Foods, but I may need to get a liter size from somewhere else. Love this stuff!

I really like the Giovanni line of products as well. I also started using Tresemme Naturals conditioner to co-wash. I'm liking that as well. It smells so good.

I like the old formula of the Tresemme Natural, I haven't tried the new one yet.

I can only get the Nourish Spa Online. We don't have a trader joes where I live ( that is the ONLY reason it isn't a HG ). .

SD update...Looks like I will finally get my chance to become an addict...gotta "shipped" message today. Went to Macy's get some of my fav "dress-up" lotion yesterday and realized they have a Lush right inside the store. I bought some henna bricks for the first time (I usually use ground henna and make my own concoction, last time I used Hershey's cocoa-the color was pretty but it seemed to wash out over time). I hennaed last night with the bricks. So far, I'm a fan! This is the first time I've seen the shine! Still struggling with how to make my grays less resistant to the color.

That's awesome! I'm sure there are some here too but I haven't seen any or much in the ones I visited.

Don't you love it when you have a new discovery!! I saw the henna bricks but I was scared to buy it, I'm glad you liked it!

I can't wait to buy some SD later this year...most likely during Black Friday sales.

EnExitStageLeft have you tried trader joes tea tree tingle conditioner, I think I like it better than the nourish spa....

My local BSS has a ton of Nairobi products, but I have never tried them. I have never come across a product line, except for handmade ones sold on Etsy that this store didn't have. It's the largest BSS in all of NC so they have everything. I have a Trader Joe's nearby in Chapel Hill, but I have yet to go and get the supposed HG's Nourish Spa or Tea Tree Tingle. Maybe I'll get over there to find some soon! I also hear TJ's is excellent for cheap but good wine. The UNC peoples rack up on it and I saw good reviews online.

OAN I just relaxed my hair today, and I'm so relieved it's done. I will have to stop stretching at 12-14 weeks from now on. I just get too much matting and shed hair accumulation if I go longer.

I do not cheat...totally defeats the purpose of playing. I'll admit that Webster might take exception to some WWF submissions but absolutely no cheating under any circumstances.
