What is the "Use 1 Buy 1" thread about? Why is the part 1 that describes the challenge no where to be found?
Can I ask a DUMB question

I remember when the thread began it was purported to be a self help challenge for PJs who would only buy a new product when they used up one but its evolved into more of a Product Junkies unite thread IMHO. I agree with Raspberry its a really fun thread...I can always count on a good chuckle or two. Its also a good place to find out what's the latest and greatest in hair products since the U1B1 ladies are always willing to try new products and vendors and are quite descriptive about their experiences.

so how do you wear relaxed hair out in a wash and go? I understand for natural ladies, but I don't see how you can do a wash and go with relaxed hair...

I'm relaxed and have done this. Basically it's to minimize heat, at least for me I should say. I would simply hop in the shower, shampoo my hair, run conditioner through it and rinse it out (no waiting) step out, dry off, detangle and let hair airdry and be on about my business.

Can someone explain the crown and glory method??? I've searched the thread on it and it's not making sense. I think it just means keeping your hair braided up under wigs or sew ins? I'm clueless y'all.

Somebody, teach me how to multi quote please?? 
Simply_elle Click the multiquote button for each post (except the last) you want to quote. It will turn red when it's selected. For the last post you want to quote, just push quote. All of them will be in your replay.
Also, if you've selected multiquote and didn't end up pushing quote on another post, the multiquote won't be undone, unless you push it again. Meaning if you click multi for 3 posts in here but leave and go to another thread and attempt to quote the OP, all posts from this thread and the new one will be in your reply.
Hopefully that all makes sense.

Ok what's up with the 'Do not quote'? At first I thought it was so people wouldn't steal pics. But I just saw someone post it where there are no pics? I like to quote juicy posts in case the OP decides to poof it. Is that why?

How many times should one clarify to remove cones after wearing hair flat ironed after, let's say, two weeks and daily moisturizing with cones? I clarified once only once and I felt like I had tons of cones left in my hair. I don't want to make this mistake again but don't want to over clarify either.

SherylsTresses, I have never really needed to clarify after using cones. Shampoo seems sufficient to remove them. But I also haven't used cones daily after straightening. (Is there a reason you needed the daily application? I ask because cones SEAL hair (especially the anti-humectant kind used to prevent reversion after flatironing and also used as heat protectans)...so no amount of applying more them or moisturizing after that seal will really MOISTURIZE your hair, so you probably were wasting product apply more and more when it's not getting to your hair but just adding an extra layer of gunk to collect dirt.
That said, I have always shampooed my hair till it felt clean. There's no point in washing it "halfway" and waiting to wash again another day. Coz what good will that do? You won't be able to moisturize properly and your hair won't behave right. If I had cones in my hair and one shampoo didn't suffice to get them off, I'd shampoo again. But yeah, I've never had an issue where my hair was so coated that I'd have to use a clarifying shampoo.
What shampoo are you using? Are you using hot water? Sorry if you answered all these. I'm a bit swamped at work so can't read the whole thread. Giovanni 50:50 is mild and has the words "clarifying" on it so may be a good product that you can use over and over w/o feeling afraid that it's drying your hair.
Also, I don't know if you stated it, but what makes you think your hair was clarified after one wash? I think coated hair that is hard from lack of internal moisture and dry hair which is hard from being completely stripped can sort of have a similar feel and be easily confused.
