MissVee is this the Kelechi oil from Nasaab?



Yes, this is some good stuff, I wondered why it was so much but it is worth every penny!

Hit:
Keracare First Lather Shampoo
Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo (32 ounce for $12.50-I believe)
Keracare Humecto (5 pound tub for $26.50)

All used on relaxed hair (b/f this I had used it on natural hair) and purchased at Ensley Beauty Supply in Birmingham. Birmingham ladies, EBS really does have an excellent selection of products at a low price, but the location is if you do not know the area.

I ended up purchasing 2 16oz and 1 8oz Humecto (Long story), but I wanted to let the Birmingham ladies know that the one in the tub was only $26.50. You can imagine how much the smaller bottles were. Anywhere, here is the company's website www.ensleybeautysupply.com. Unfortunately, I do not believe they ship Keracare out-of-state. If I were you, I would call (205) 788-8024 to confirm this.

You're welcome Letitia! It's very economical too. You don't have to slather your hair with two cups of it to see results. I have had my bucket for 3+ months and I am less than halfway through, and I gave a 1lb jar sample to my mom to use. (but I am gonna buy another one soon anyway!) Oh, and don't forget to send along any products you don't want!

Hit:
Proclaim Natural 7 Oil
OMG! This stuff is awesome. I think it's gonna replace my $15 bottle of Keracare Essential oils! (It's on sale for 2.99 at Sally's this month! )

Yesterday my curiosity got the best of me...stopped by Sally's on the way home and bought the Motions and Proclaim Natural 7 Oil (I got the Olive Oil One, it's green)...

I get back on post my results in a few weeks.

 

[crlsweetie912]

Yay VW! That oil is the bomb. I have the plain one but I plan on going back and stocking up on both! You will love the motions and your hair will have super bling for you wedding!!!!

ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo---absolutely amazing! I'm in love . My hair felt so soft and moisturized. Definitely will be a staple.

Motions MoisturePlus Conditioner--Another new staple. My hair is soo soft, moisturized and smooth once my hair was dried. After I moisturized with this, I put in Profectiv Breakfree, braided up my hair in six braids and air dried. I'm very happy. I read so many good reviews on here that I had to get it. I used it after deep conditioning w/Motions CPR.

I saw this last night at the CVS and was really tempted to buy it since it's recommended before using the ORS Replenishing Pak (which is my staple)...

The PJ in me is urging me to go to CVS tonight before it closes...

 

[envybeauty]

Another BIG Hit: Garnier Fructis Length & Strength Fortifying Shampoo!

I used this and got NO softness or slip………… my hair became hard and sooooooooooooo so dry.

I agree with you on this. Before I thought that this was just okay but for the last two washes, I've had a change of heart. It is good!!

January Noir ~ Now, I'm normally not someone to push products but get it! LoL It really does make your hair soft & moisturized, plus it's inexpensive, can't beat it!

Try this combination 2part activator gel and 1part castor oil. Then tie my hair down with a scarf. Let me know how it works.

I am sure that it will be fine! I haven't purchased a product yet that I don't like and I am sure I will find a good use for it, if not for me, but my neices and sisters! They love coming to my house or me coming by giving them tips and product advice! (It's amazing that after a few short months being a member of this forum how quickly you become the "Hair Expert!" Even my stylist is impressed and he's been doing hair sceighty-eight years!)

You're a sweetie!
