Re: Name Things You Bought Only Because of this Board
this is a great thread, i can't believe my list. (i have been lurking since the end of october/beginning november but i joined in february when access to the other boards were only offered to members) and I bought these products:
Aubrey GPB-liked it
Elucence Shampoo and Conditioner-didn't do anything for my hair (tangled mess) but i gave it away to a friend and she liked it
Mizani Moisturefuse (newer version)-hated it
Hot Six Oil-still new to this
Biotin-after taking it for 6 months, when i upped the dosage my face broke out, so i stopped taking biotin altogether
GNC ultranourishair-cool, but it didn't have iron, so i no longer use it.
Flaxseed Oil-love it
Evening Primrose Oil-ok, but i was getting great results with flaxseed alone.
Kiehl's Silk Groom- first i got the sample, but it didn't have the ingredients listed. i bought the bottle and found out that it contained an immense amount of alcohol. so i'm scared of this product now.
Aubrey Organics 100% Jojoba Oil-like it. i use it for hot oil treatments.
seamless comb-its alright
Whew, that's over with. i have a regimen already, i just bought these products to see if i would like them and to add some variation.

Re: Name Things You Bought Only Because of this Board
Oh yes I forgot I bought and tried LUST. I can't say if I noticed anything since I tried the henna. Hopefully the second try would be better.

Re: Name Things You Bought Only Because of this Bo
I purchased my first bottle of Aubrey Organics GPB.
I was inspired by a recent post of the product, but was REALLY inspired by Allandra.
Will use for the first time on Sunday, 28 September.

Re: Name Things You Bought Only Because of this B
Things I've bought because of recommendations on this board, but don't plan to repurchase:
QP Elasta Mango Butter (When I first smelled it in the store, I thought it had too strong a scent, but I continued to read posts praising it so I convinced myself to give it a try . . . but alas I just kept smelling it and realized I couldn't use it . . . gave it to a co-worker).
Phyto 9 (have used it on my dry hair and found it to be okay . . . but don't plan to buy again at $22 a very tiny tube
).
S Curl (haven't used b/c soon after purchase subsequently read posts that warned of breakage (
) and sticky film from use of this product).
MSM (started itching everywhere after using this supplement; ceased taking it and the itching subsided; already had been taking a multi and biotin before discovering this board and will stick with those).
Other things I've bought because of recommendations on this board and plan to stick with:
Nexxus Keraphix/Humectress/Headress (even though I used Keraphix and Humectress a long, long time ago, reading posts here reminded me how much I liked them and convinced me to reincorporate them (and introduce Headress) into my weekly regimen).
Jojoba Oil (I add this to my conditioners).
L'Oreal Vive Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum (used it for first time today on dry hair after roller set and am very happy with it
. . . love the scent and the feel of my hair after it goes on. . . current plan is to use it daily to seal in the moisture after a spritz of Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist . . . well, that's the plan for now at least).
Satin pillowcase (even though I sleep in a satin bonnet, it would be nice to sleep with nothing on my head sometimes
. . . thus the satin pillowcase).
Seamless comb.
Silk scrunchies (had no idea the cotton scrunchies were bad for my hair!!! I always had them loosely in my hair, but now I'm paranoid that that still could have been damaging
).
I think that's it . . . .
Oh, here are items that I'm dying to try, but really don't have room in my regimen for:
Aubrey Organics GPB (I already have 2 other conditioners, but I'm attracted to the all natural ingredients in this product and the rave reviews).
Biolage Daily Leave-In Tonic (I already have a leave-in and I’d like to stick to the same product line for my shampoo/conditioner . . . but again the rave reviews are convincing me I need to try this . . . now if anyone uses this as a daily moisturizer, let me know how that is working out. I really want an excuse to use this product
. It smells really nice too. I wonder if it would have the same effect on my hair as Paul Mitchell’s Moisture Mist, which by the way I find chemically similar to Cathy Howse’s Dew, except the Moisture Mist has a more pleasant scent than the Dew (which I think smells like cough syrup) (okay, so I really have this thing for scents . . . perhaps
).
Anyway, that’s it for now.

Re: Name Things You Bought Only Because of this B
thank you for your post. I am new to the board. I am trying to weed through what's good, recommended etc..based on experience. I think in part it is complex for me to dechiper b/c we vary in hair types,styles and preferences. I for instance, I color my hair but do not use chemicals to straighten it. I typically have it flat ironed or have it pressed. I do not find many who straighen their hair in this manner.
Many on this board speak about taking MSM,what exactly is that? I can certainly tell that it is a supplement, but it is recommended to Black women for achieving healthy hair? Who is the manufactuer? I ask about it because so many on this board speak about it. I do have healthy hair (hair stylists tell me this) but haven't been able to achieve length. It is why I was attracted to this sight as well as Cathy Howse's.
But I appreciated your post, as you answered not only what you bought and what you wouldn't again (including the msm vitamins!!) I appreciated that.
I would like to ask however, how you liked Cathy Howse's products? Did you read her book? I must say, I am intrigued by her research and the results she has managed to achive with her own hair. I also appreciate the fact that a AA female has made it her mission to discover a way for Black females to achieve length.
I am currently using a variety of products but wish to find the right oil/moisturizer for my ends.

Re: Name Things You Bought Only Because of this B
Hi myrahjay -
MSM stands for Methylsulfonylmethane, which is a naturally-ocurring organic sulfur credited with relieving arthritic pain and stimulating hair, skin and nail growth. Many on this site have reported a softening of their new growth as a result of use of this supplement. I was using a low dose which I bought from my local health food store, but you can get it from GNC, other health stores, online, etc. There are several brands and various compositions - by the latter I mean, you can find MSM in powder form, gel form, etc. Also you may find it mixed with other vitamins/minerals or herbs (mine was in a capsule with some herbs).
With respect to Cathy Howse's products, I have the conditioner and the Dew. I haven't used the conditioner yet; the Dew I have tired, but am not using now b/c of the scent. I've found Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi Moisture Mist to have a more subtle, pleasant scent and think the two are similar enough in chemical composition such that I'd be okay with the latter. I also haven't read Cathy's book, but it was her website and the hundreds of Q&As on there which I ran across a couple of months ago and found extremely informative, which really sparked my interest in taking a serious interest in my hair care and eventually led me to this board. I'm finding this board to be the most useful educational resource when it comes to products, hair care, etc. It's also rather addictive. I'm loving the newfound "obsession" with my hair.
By the way, I have ordered Cathy Howse's new creme moisturizer for those days when I need a little more moisture/oil than the Paul Mitchell product provides. It's fragrance free so I'm sure I'll have no problem with it (crossing fingers that it's not too heavy, greasy, etc.).
