Continued hit

Twisted my bang in 5 minutes with Sarenzo Creamy oil. Hair is supple, shiny and elongated. The resulting twistout is always full and fluffy. No hold though but thats okay.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Reformulations and discontinuances make me paranoid enough to buy 10 or so of a given item.

@PJaye
Man.....Banana Brulee has been around since the beginning of time, who woulda' ever thought in a million years it would ever be discontinued????

For Me that would be like HV Sitrinillah being discontinued, something that I would never think would/could happen.....but now you never know.

Well considering they are still available for purchase, I really shouldn't have gotten three of them lol...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@NaturallyATLPCH

If I use it and decide I like it, I'll hit you up on the Exchange (if you list them/and if they are still available).....I know that's a lot of "IF"s''

I'm just glad I didn't go all in.

Thanks for that.

Well they may be good for other purposes. Don't get me wrong, my hair was extremely soft, but I just don't have a purpose for them in my stash at the moment.

Plus APB is pretty much putting everyone out of my stash. If she comes up with a medium hold cream gel, it's a wrap.

Yeeeeah, during those sales processing time is now 8-12 business days .

@NaturallyATLPCH
I just got a ship notice on a order I placed 05/20.

And I have x2 more orders out there. Guess I'll look for them around July 4

OT: I was thinking about SSI's Peach. Since I follow up my Cowash with another Conditioner, I should be good.

I'll follow it up with something else.

As soft as your hair will be, you won't need to follow it up with anything else lol...in fact, you'll be able to leave a little in.

Did you say 5/20???

@NaturallyATLPCH

Yeah Gurl May 20.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

BIG HIT:
Naturelle Grow agreeing to relist - Guava & Fig Pre-Poo and her Jamaica Me Crazy Line.

 

[AgeinATL]

On the fence: SheScentIt Sugar Peach Conditioner
It was just meh. My hair needs products formulated as masques, not conditioners that can be used as such.

I might try it as a leave in.

THIS. It just was not enough as a DC. I knew that it wouldn't provide enough moisture because it was way too thin. Performs better as a leave-in/rinse out.

 

[AgeinATL]

I feel the same. I initially liked it, but by Thursday my hair was dry. I'm going to try it with the Bekura YAM. I did not like the Honey Conditioner at all. Don't get me wrong, I liked the peach, but it's not as good as a masque. Maybe good for a cowash and finger detangling.

I tried it and still it was a

It has great slip, so it works a bit better as a leave-in/rinse out.

Exactly, and I don't need it for either.
My SheScentIt days have come to an end I believe.

 

[BrownBetty]

SSI Sugar Peach worked great by itself and as a leave in. The first time I used it, it was after a mask and that was no bueno.

 

[rileypak]

Good to know about the Sugar Peach.
I've no intentions to use it as a DC, only as a rinse out on co-cleanse days (maybe as a leave in some day) so I should be okay.

 

[bajandoc86]

I'm glad I only got two of the SSIPeach Conditioners then. My main aim for its use is as a cowash prior to my scalp shampoo and DC. So we shall see. If I don't like it, I'll gift it to someone.

 

[Saludable84]

@AgeinATL @NaturallyATLPCH @bajandoc86 @rileypak

I've already found a taker I've decided to not even bother. I was not impressed and if I don't like this Conditioner in the jar I got from them, I'm done with them as well. There is much better stuff I can spend my money on.

*maybe i should be glad i only got x2 bottles.........

Nah, my heir is ULTRA PICKY and my hair loves SSI sugar peach conditioner as a DC, leave in etc. it leaves my hair incredibly soft and moisturized.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

And although I like the pleasant scent, as a Georgia Peach, I wanted a peachy type scent .
Now of course every head is different. My head is very picky, as well as tricky too. It likes creamy things, but not too thick, but not watery either. The Sugar Peach is creamy but when it hits these strands, it dissipates.

My hair doesn't like multipurpose products lol...

I think you will be okay if you are using it for those reasons. If you have course, thick strands, this works a bit better as a leave-in!

@NaturallyATLPCH @AgeinATL @Saludable84 @BrownBetty @Beamodel and @rileypak @bajandoc86

Thank you everyone for this "Lively" discussion on SSI's Sugar Peach.

I love it when we have multiple posters posting regarding an item. Reminds me of the "Good Old Days" (LOL)

I definitely appreciate everyone's input. And naturally the differences of opinions on usage etc....

Since I will be using it for a Cowash and as a Final R/O, I should be good with the x2 bottles I have. Should I realize I like it for these two purposes, I will re-up on it.

I do love that fact that it is 14oz's.

Ya'll we should have discussions like this more and get the Hair Forum back to being lively again.

Hmm....what product shall we discuss next Ladies???? Good discussion.

 

[Saludable84]

@IDareT'sHair

NurCreation Avocado Green Tea? More than enough ppl ordered.

Hmph, I'm still waiting on her to come off that high arse shipping . Otherwise, I'd be right in that discussion.

I don't even remember how much I paid

I paid $8.80 (pre-discount)
I must have been on a purchasing wave for that one to slip through...

Oh trust me, in the past I used to pay it when Etsy seller Naturally Amari was selling those butters. 1 item at $5.00, 2 at $7.50, 3 at $9.50...I used to ask her about flat rate shipping, shipping discounts, etc.

Now I just refuse. I will not pay over $7.00 to ship multiple items.

But I realize some of these companies offer the high shipping for priority to get to you in about 1to 3 days. Let me decide on that, I can wait a few days to save some coins.
