Ladies in Europe

It is crap- like putting a hot towel over your head. It does not get that hot. I am using mine now- waste of money.

Even though I'm sure I spent close to £200 over the last two months, I'm not ready to drop that kind of money....yet.

On another thread someone posted this steamer:

It is the credit crunch version. :lachen:

I may get it....next month. I need to start exercising some self-control!

Don;t hold back evsbaby !!! :lachen::lachen::lachen:

But seriously this in no way compares to a steamer - BUT it has its uses. I take it with me when I go on holiday and the sea or swimming pool has begun to reek to much havoc with my hair.

I just slick on one of my ORS replenishing packs mixed with what ever oil I have with me (usually Castor or wheatgerm) and away you go instant conditioning treatment. I will usually sit under the heating cap for 15 - 20 minutes just to give me an instant "pep up".

Its great for this purpose but you're right a steamer is much better.

There are also cheaper options than this one for about 15 GBP on eBay.
 
I have a full bottle of Roux porosity control if someone wants to swap or pay shipping for!

PM me if you like :grin:
 
^^ I wish I knew I just bought a bottle!!Lol!!

That's funny Evsbaby!!Lol!! I am sure it must be doing something, just taking its time doing it.
 
I used the Roux pc once after washing out an oil rinse and it made my hair so hard, I think DCed and it felt ok once more. I think I will aim to do it every month or every 6 weeks or so. Hurry and show some progress this hair of mine, just so I can work out if its working or not.
 
^^^ Unfortunately there is no hurry about this hair process thing.

the ones I have seen consistently succeeding are the ones who were just patient. DC'd once a week and did minimum manipulation like Vestaluv and that girl from yesterday (patience pays off thread).

This is why Wigs and buns work so well bc they involve mininum manipulation but also allow you to get to your hair for intensive conditioning.

Weaves also work but my edges were just so weak so I had to stop. :ohwell: I went from ear length to shoulder lenght in 4/5 months with weaves (and a 1.5 - 2 inch trim in-between) and I didn't even do much. Just left it alone and washed and DC'd once a week.

It really is a waiting game....

If you want some inspiration shopgalore take a look at this UK based chica's Fotki...

http://public.fotki.com/Pamera/

I particularly like hers and Vestaluv's bc they are both UK based and so it makes it all the more relevant and inspirational to me.

Thanks for the fotki links, I really liked Vestaluvs one also. You did really well going from ear length to shoulder length so quickly. Your right though, a watched kettle never boils!
I dont want to use braids again, I have done for a long while and it broke off my edges and thinned my hair more than it is already, weave does the same for me:nono:

HHG! Its going to fun to see how everyone does hair wise, we are all in the best place to learn.

Same here braids all the way through University and Law School and living abroad (all places where there are no black hairdressers and you need long term hair styles) are the reason I have NO hairline.... :ohwell:

I am on the case now !!! :lol:

I know the Maxiglide is the flatiron right now, but I am interested in seeing if the Joico one becomes available in the UK.

I know what your saying about not spending a lot on hair stuff, but my hair has really been out of the picture in my life ( I spent more on lacefronts etc) it needs some treats.Lol!

I use the EYL JBCO which I got from Jamaica, so far so good, I like it and will buy it again when I go back next month. In Jamaica a 250ml bottle is about £8.

Where do you Londoners get your Chlorella tablets from? I'm using some but I want a stronger dose. I'm not interested in the powder form due to laziness.
