No reason, I just heard good things about Conair. But if you're using ones from Pak's, where do you get those metal things that hold the rollers and how much are they?

Do you mean these metal things? I got some Babyliss ones on offer from Superdrug last year. There are 8 in a pack. Pak's are cheaper and you get more in a pack. I use mine when doing pin curls.
 
Ladies, please try to avoid ordering from Love Lula if you can. Cream tee told me about Giovanni when I first joined, I went and ordered, they were out of stock. I have waited since I joined back in Jan for the Direct Leave in, they cancelled my order last week because they are still awaiting new deliveries. To their credit, Jane at Love Lula sent me samples to tide me over while I waited - I waited so long she sent me 2 sets of samples every 2 weeks.

Anyway, I ordered leave in from the link posted yesterday not only was it cheaper than LoveLula, it also was free delivery. So -

Love lula - Gio Direct - £7.99 plus £2.00 delivery

Skin Nutrition - Gio Direct - £6.39 - free delivery.

Sorry for the long post, I was just disappointed with waiting for so long...

Hey Shopgalore
Did you manage to get this shipped direct to UK?
I've tried to put my shipping details in but it wants a US address
Click to expand...

Hi yes, the shipping was fast, you need to email them, it will not work online. You have to pay for shipping on top.If you order 5 its $5.99 each.

The email address is - [email protected]
I ordered on the 23rd Feb and it came a few days ago. I was told to allow 6-10 days.

Thanks for the link - I've contacted them and they are shipping my order tomorrow! Well impressed:yep:
 
It's a shame about the Giovanni. When I ordered it I bought through Amazon and I got it pretty much immediately. I notice Love Lula doesn't sell through Amazon now which is interesting...

I'm scared of the Sabino, I've heard so many stories in here of folks using too much! :eek: Please report back on how you find it ladies!

What are you guys using for a moisturiser?

I hear you.

I'm originally from the US but have been living in the UK for the last 13 years. Its not being able to get products that I mind the most. Or when a product like VO5 is cone free in the US but has cones in the UK.:ohwell:

Sometimes buy things and have my mom send to it to me. Occasionally I stump for the intl shipping costs but not often.

I am still debating about the Maxiglide. I am so afraid of heat damage. But I'd like to use heat ever now and then.

I found this place that sells Maxiglide with a EU plug and its the right voltage for use in the UK. http://www.afrohairsecrets.dk/product_info.php?currency=EUR&cPath=61_53_60_89&products_id=95

I m so happy I found this thread, Ive used the maxiglide for years and I love it. Been raving to my sis but she lives in England so I cant get her one from here. Anyone bought from this site- reviews please thanks
 
I use sabino. The key is to use very little. When i'm in the islands my press stays longer and bouncier. I also love fantasia ic heat protector. It has the same consistency and leaves my hair just as nice. I moisturise using whipped shea butter. :)

Got the Hercules-Sagemann Magic Star seamless comb from here. Ordered it on the Friday, received it by the Mon/Tues. It's been like night and day since using this comb. I will never go back to seamed combs. :yep:

Sallys also sells Matador saw cut rubber combs. Paks also sells them, but I think the online site only has the small tail combs right now.

I got a mason pearson from here:

Its okay. The teeth aren't as wide as I would like and there's no handle so its not the easiest to use. But its the first one I knew about that I could get in the UK.

Mimi, have you tried Mizani Thermasmooth Serum? How did it compare to the Sabino? I was about to buy Sabino but then I thought people are getting v. good results with Thermasmooth which I can get easier in the UK. Maybe I will post this ? to the board.

Sigh. Another comb I must try. This looks better than all the ones I currently have. Sigh.

I am still confused about what people mean by a moisturiser. Is it the same as a leave-in? Or must it be a heavier cream?

I have come to terms with the fact that my hair hates heavy creams, so no more shea butter, avocado butter, or any other butters! Every so often I will use AG's Creamy Cafe Latte on my ends when braiding at night but I alternate with 99% pure Aloe gel. On the rest of my hair I will use a leave-in and seal with EVCO and Camellia oil.

Yep, I will let you know how I get on with the Sabino, must remember to use a little and not be heavy handed:grin:

With a moisturiser, I am always unsure about this, I use a combo ( not all at the same time) of Sta Sa Fro, Giovanni, Hair Mayo, Kiddies Shea butter, Vatika, Mango Butter from Elasta QP and a few other things. Still trying to work out what is best for my hair. Since I started trying to take care of my hair, I dont even know what my hair likes!!

With the maxiglide, I have not ordered from the company yet.

Shop galore if you do not like heavy creams you should try Mizani H20 Intense. You use a little bit of it in the evening and it really moisturises. It also smells divine :lick:.

I think you can get them from www.lookfantastic.com .

I get mine from Pure showers, http://www.pureshowers.co.uk/produc...id=30&osCsid=3111e1298da1facf4bde750648ee4373

My hair is just so much more softer, noticeably so using the filter. It's great for the skin too and soap lasts a lot longer as you don't need to use so much of it. Shampoo (if you use it) disseminates and lathers quickly throughout the hair too in my experience.

I need to order another filter now, but I think I may just go ahead and just buy a whole new head again as I've had it for a while now.

I paid £50 at the time, it's gone up! :rolleyes:

Thanks Stellagirl76.

I just got the giovanni direct, they sent me 2 bottles of the new formula instead of the old formula as promised. A bit annoying.Lol!

Apparently its the Aloe that makes it sticky so just dilute it down.

You gave me an idea Stellagirl76, I am going to try to get some of those empty container things and if anyone wants to try a sample of something, I can just send it ( that is if I have it.lol). Its easier when its in Europe because you can just pop it in a jiffy bag well packaged and forget about it!
 
Does anyone know where I can get some silk amino acids from.

I want to start adding some (about 1 teaspoon) to my Condish mixes as I have seen other LHCF's get good results with it....

TIA ladies :grin:
