Remington Pro Heated Straightening Brush from Walmart

I got home and realized that brush is for use on dry hair. Glad I read the instructions.

I assume all the ones I saw in Walmart were for wet/damp hair like the Revlon blow dryer brush. Wrong. Lol.

So I ordered the Revlon one online and I'll return the Remington Pro one.

 

[Platinum]

Ordered from Amazon today:

2 boxes of Brahmi powder
2 boxes of Bhringraj powder
Copper loc beads.



I’m thinking about ordering some other copper loc beads and cowrie shells from Etsy.

Nothing purchased today. I still need to get me some oils but I will hold out for a week or two since it's not an absolute emergency to get them now.

I haven’t used the old version in years. I don’t remember anything spectacular about it.

I used this one last night. I’ve been seeing small broken pieces of hair lately (I’m going through some sort of set back. SMH) and was looking for a moisturizing DC. I never knew what “my hair felt like butter” meant until I used this last night.

I didn’t wash my hair first, just put this in my hair and sat with a conditioning cap on for about an hour before I washed it out. I’m relaxed with less than half an inch of new growth. The real test, IMO, will be when I have 1+ inches of new growth to work with. I’m not ready to claim it as a staple just yet.

Bronner Brothers Firm Hold Curling Gel

Ingredients are good. The hold is serious. This is the best wash and go I've ever achieved at home.

My cleopatraschoice shea butter is here but I haven't opened them up as yet. I may take a closer look at them on the weekend. I didn't want to break the seal just yet.

 

[LovelyRo]

I stumbled upon some CON green label. I bought it but, I’m skeptical. I’d like to know where it came from. It looks and smells legit though.

I picked up Silicon Mix, the Bamboo one .

If it was edible I'd eat it. The smell tickles me all over .

Hair feels soft - er. I used it as a moisturizer just because I wanted the smell in my hair. This weekend ill DC with it.

I will take a ride to the Beauty Supply today after work, just to pick up a tub of Shea Butter since...You all keep talking about it.

You know what, I never tried this. How is it?

 

[prettyinpurple]

Got that good ol' school Queen Helen cholestrol conditioner a few days ago too. I can't wait to use it.

Ooh I'd probably like that.

I bought the cholesterol conditioner at a BSS. They probably have that ORS one too.

I haven't been to a BSS in ages and it was lovely. It's a good sized one, clean and the shelves were well-stocked. Also I'm happy that a lot of the BSS in the area are Ethiopian-owned, instead of owned by others. It is a much more pleasant shopping experience as well .
