@caliscurls

Glad to see you back.

I was wondering where you were during the Bekura Sale?

I wanted to ask you what I was suppose to get? I couldn't remember so I ended up not getting anything.

Red Palm on top of my DC'er to Steam with
Marie Dean's Jojoba Oil in Brown Sugar & Fig with my Leave-In

After my Hair Dries = APB Lotion & Butta' in Pearberry

Applied TPS Peppermint Pomade to scalp. I am so glad I revisited this in my stash.

@IDareT'sHair lol, thanks! yeah lately when I see a good sale I try my best to avoid it and sometimes that means no LHCF I'm trying to hold off until Black Friday because lord knows I don't need anything....unless of course it's one of those limited time things

Sorry I couldn't help you out! That and work have had me in lurk mode.

 

[caliscurls]

Last night:
L: water
O: Rosemary infused olive oil mixed with castor oil ( 50 / 50 ). Someone said in another thread that castor oil helps keep your edges neat - that is so true. Finding myself using less gel these days.
C: Trader Joes Tea Tree a Tingle Treat conditioner

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@caliscurls

So...am I suppose to get the Latte, or the Tapioca or the Hair Milk?

There was something that you use, that I said I wanted to try?

@IDareT'sHair the Buttercream for sure, no questions asked

From them my staples are:

Hair

• Palm Tapioca Deluxe Hair Buttercream

Body

• Whipped Custard Body Soufflé in the Lemon Beignet scent (smells like the lemon cookies with the cream in the middle) - this is the only body cream/lotion I use. I have the Pecan (?) scent and that Limited time one she offered during the sale in Q1....it smells so delicious I just can't remember the name.

A while back I also purchased the Java Bean & Honey Smoothing Hair Balm but I haven't used it yet. Trying to use up some other things first.

 

[CodeRed]

Put my body butter blend (cupuacu butter blended with avocado and sunflower oils) on my hair/scalp and steaming now. Going to see how it does...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used: APB Pearberry Hair Butta'

 

[Beany]

NO hair and scalp conditioner. If you are looking for a "grease" without petroleum or mineral oil try it.

Let us know, I like the sound of that combo!

It gave me shine. I think I did something wrong though... I think I waited too long to co-wash it out and the butter partially solidified on my hair so it was harder to get out. Next time I steam with butter I'll go straight to rinsing and see how it does.

 

[NappyNelle]

Sealed with SSI Seyani on damp hair.

Not sure why I stray from grease, it's the only product that actually seals in moisture for me.
It never fails, I begin to try oils and butters only to experience breakage. Then, after searching for a solution, I return to grease.

I did a test to help reinforce the importance of a grease-based regimen.
After rinsing my hair I sealed two strands on my nape, one with Softee Coconut Oil Hair Grease and one with a shea butter/oil mix.
Then slept (without a scarf) and at the end of the following day examined both strands

Shea butter/oil mix:

Softee Coconut Oil Hair Grease:

They both are frizzy but it's clear that the strand with grease was able to hold more moisture and definition.
I am officially back, and if this doesn't keep me on the grease path, I don't know what will
