Holland and Barrett, Ebay.
Click to expand...

How's the Holland & B one working out (if you use it). The thing with their one is that it's Chinese Chlorella and the Chlorella thread said that Chinese chlorella isn't as regulated as the Japanese version.
 
Just found something on my shelf that cut the smell of the natural stuff I used.

I remembered I bought Aquolina Pink Sugar Hair Perfume last year from Ebay (Italian Seller). Sprayed it on just now and the smokey/oil smell has gone. My hair smells like sweeties!:grin:

Now gotta figure out where to purchase it again from as the Ebay seller has disappeared.:wallbash:

I see good results with my chlorella :yep: My hair grows well and my skin looks better. I feel much more energetic when I'm using it. And the most quickest and noticeable difference is in my nails! My nails get so strong in less than a week! And it began to turn white after 3 weeks of consistent use :yep:

I prefer spinurila (sp?) to chlorella though. weird i know :spinning:

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.

Just to confuse matters a leave-in can be used as a moisturiser but I tend not to do that really. I currently use Organics Shea Butter & Tea Tree oil which is nice, it's just the right texture and fortunately easy to find here. The Herbal Essences Split End cream seems okay, although I'm not totally convinced, the jury's out.

Camellia oil is wonderful - you can't go too wrong with that! ;)

^^^ 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.

Yeah I've seen Pamera around Fotki - her hair is beautiful - is she a member here? I don't recall seeing her! Vestaluv I know is a member here - such inspirational progress!!

stellagirl76 said:
And notice how she didn't use any real expensive products to get there...:yep:

Now do you understand why i need that steamer in my life :lachen::lachen::lachen:

ETA: Check out this chick from Youtube also:

http://www.youtube.com/user/nunaavane#p/u/8/7Mw0SxY_oVY

Quite like her and she does a lot of product reviews etc.
Click to expand...

I love nunaavane, she's got such a nice personality! I've been following her progress - her hair has come on wonderfully! :yep:
 
I hope to be able to help in this department soon. I have brought products back from the US for some ladies before but te weight allowance has been reduced so I can't do that anymore. BUT i will keep you all posted on this...

This thread is on fire! I can't believe how much I missed being out most of the day!

Stella don't order without me. I am new to the whole wig PS but lurking on the half-wig has got me convinced. I'm out most of Friday but will but will PM you tomorrow.

Shattered going to bed now. Will have to catch up on the thread tomorrow. :lachen:
 
Yes indeed this is a great thread - thanks for starting it Rose! :grin:

Does anyone use SAA (Silk Amino Acids)? I would love to incorporate these into my DC's but it seems like once again we can't buy them here. :ohwell: I'm hoping one of you can tell me otherwise!!
 
Rose1 said:
Doesn't it annoy you that whenever products are mentioned on LCHF that you can't buy it here in the UK or other parts of Europe? You US ladies are so lucky, you have everything! I know that I have a lot of hair products which I will use up, but there's no harm in having more is there? :grin: Just me thinking out aloud!
Click to expand...

Hi, Yes it's true.
I live in France and 5 months ago I decided to sell american products.
I sell Aphogee, Chi, Nu Gro, doo Gro, black castor oil....
I already have many customers
For those who live near by Paris, I give the products in hands for the others I send them (I have customers in Belgium, Italy...)
So if you are interested, just send me a PM and I'll tell you more!
 
We seriously need our own forum. Its getting hard to track all the good tips in here!

Okay, I'm caught up.

Can't believe Sam's Hair Studio is like 10min walking distance for me! Thank you!

You can also get JBCO from Akua at Sheabutter Cottage:
http://www.akuawood.co.uk/product.php?productid=124&cat=6&page=1

She is lovely and has many other good products. I haven't tried JBCO yet...I heard it has a strong smell:ohwell: I need my products to smell good!

Lastly, DO NOT BUY from GMBShair.com! They have the worst customer service and ridiculous terms! I am going to post a detailed description/rant in the Vendors forum. I am too thru! :angry2::whip:
 
Btw way Wig ladies please let me have your orders by this weekend.

Thanks !!!

ETA: BTW Ladies I am going to start a "EU LADIES SAMPLE GIVING THREAD" in the product and exchange forum. Just to give you all the heads uo but if you are sending samples to the EU use Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packets program it costs about 2 GBP . I sent some pigment samples to an LHCH'er and she got them in the US in 1 WEEK :yep:

What are you guys using for a moisturiser?
Click to expand...

I use spring water infused with herbs or glycerine depending on the time of year. I'm big on following that up with Qhemet products right now, AOHC, BRBC, CTDG :love:

Yep I have - it is a HOT conditioner! After I've steamed the tangles literally drop out. There are not many conditioners that I've used that can do that - it's good! I really must buy AO GPB too, I haven't got around to it yet!

Meee! I like it much better than AO HSR. Although, now that I've found pure Camellia Oil I will try adding it to other (i.e. cheaper) condish and see if I get the same or better results


I've been working my way through most of AO condish. AO GPB is great for a balancing condish. Jojoba and Aloe is waiting on my shelf.
 
Wow this thread is great!

AO white camelia - it is brilliant. Used it for the first time when i took down my braids, put the conditioner on then shower cap, went to bed, The tangles slipped out almost effortlessly and my hair was so soft and conditioned - try it, you wont be disappointed
