Pj Support Thread 2010 Pt.1

[Eisani]

I just washed and twisted my hair and used up:


Hairveda's Cocasta Oil (Love this, have a backup)
Jane Carter Twist and Lock (too expensive)
Darcy's Botanicals Deep Conditioner (Too expensive, nothing special either)

Girl I still have 3 bottles of Cocasta and 2 Avosoya hair oils. To put things in perspective, I'm so loaded up on HV, I haven't had to order anything from her since the beginning of '09

I'm fully stocked on KBB and Shescentit as well. Oh, Oyin too. My KBB stash got so ridiculous, I sent some to my sister; she got 2 nectars, 1 milk, 1 hair cream, 2 poos and deep conditioners and 2 body lotions. I still have a bunch left over.

The only thing I really, really want is the 16 oz Avocado & Silk conditioner from Jasmine's. This could very easily be a staple. I love it! Despite knowing this, I plan on waiting a little while before ordering. A friend of mine I let try it said she'd be willing to go half on a 16 oz and we can have 8 oz a piece, but the PJ in me flared up- I don't really wanna share erplexed but it would save me some $$.

Eisani Just Reminded All Of Us How Good it is To "Rediscover" Things in Our Existing Stashes and to Revisit those Products from time to time.

This will also cut down on the insatisible 'urge' to keep buying stuff. If we all take a closer look at the things we already have.

We've gotten alot of Good Perspectives today.

Dang girl, you the product queen!

Lemme me know if those KBB products need a good home

She be trippin with her sales these days!

 

[chebaby]

even though i am kinda sad to say, since i love natural conditioners, i have decided that my co wash condtioners will be cheapies.
im sad to say this because i love my natural conditioners and although i dont use them as leave ins i could if i wanted to. i would never leave non natural cheapies as leave ins, eventhough i could.
but i need to save money and cheapies work. i just recently feel in love with the organix conditioners even though they arent as cheap as id like they last a while. i guess i will also go back to suave coconut conditioner.

I noticed the same thing. Glad I stocked up. On the real, in order to avoid some of this stuff going bad, I may be getting rid of it so I'll keep you in mind! While pulling out the KBB stuff to photograph, I discovered two jars of Created By Nature Hair and Body Pomade. I've used this stuff one time But yea, back to KBB, this is just the stuff that was in a box under my bed *shamefaced*. I have more stuff in the basement.

ETA: Lookin at this pic, that doesn't look bad at all! I have no reason to be shame faced!! Wait, that is only one box though...

This could actually help you stretch your natural conditioners. Use the cheapies to cowash and your natural, more expensive ones as leave ins. I always hated washing the good expensive ish down the drain and rarely rinse them out lol.

Nope, no reason to be shame faced!!
What's your favorite scent???

 

[Shay72]

I forgot to tell ya'll when I was over at my parents at Christmas I let my mom smell one of my roll on perfumes from Jasmines . It's that country french vanilla/pear . Needless to say a basket from Jasmine's will be one of her b-day gifts.

 

[Brownie518]

^^ I love pear scents!! I haven't tried that one from Jasmine's. I'll need some more shower gels soon so I'll have to keep that in mind.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Reading all of today's posts really got me motivated to get on my game and not just my hair game.

So I'm going to henna tomorrow. I just took it out of the freezer to defrost and I need to look in my henna supply to see if I have an open one to mix in it and stretch it out more. I just mixed up a super HOT with many different oils that made my hair feel really soft and detangle easily the last time I mixed it up.

I also remembered I hadn't been mixing oils or EOs into my DCs so I mixed up a DC for after my henna treatment. I used Banana Burlee (getting near the end of it), Sitrinillah, and AOHSR with oils and EOs. I won't be purchasing the AOHSR not worth the money IMO, to hard to get out of the bottle, and I need to much of it for cowashing or DCing.

I have an almost empty bottle of Aussie Moist I love the pump for in shower use. I'm adding the last bits of Avocado Condish and Super Soft Honey to with some EVCO and/or EVOO to that bottle. When this runs out I'll mix some more almost empty bottles of cowashing conditioners into.

What's your favorite scent???

I think my fave is Egyptian Musk. I also like Coco Lime (especially in dd's hair), chamomile sage, jasmine lily, cranberry cocktail in the summer, and Vetiver and Vanilla musk from the men's line.

 

[chebaby]

ok the kbb was in for more like 2 hours and when i rinsed my hair was soooo silky and soft.
right now i have giovanni direct in with my microfiber towel on. in about 15 minutes i will braid with my shea butter mix.

 

[robot.]

okay, peacelove is taking a little too long for me. if she doesn't have my listing up by tomorrow when i order from shescentit, i'll have to order everything individually and miss out on the cutie juice cocktail. and i think it's just a good name and looks delicious, so the marketing would've gotten me on that one.

 

[chebaby]

i really cant wait to get my butters from peacelove but Robot you could really make the cutie juice yourself without much hassle like mixing a butter. its just water and oils.

 

[Tafa01]

yesterday I used Rusk Wellness bedew shampoo and mask (for moisture) for the first time. They smell delicious, have no sls, no parabens. I think they are going to be part of my regimen from now on.

 

[simplyconfident]

i know i said i wouldnt do it, but i changed a part of my reggie up tonight.
i was using surge 14 as my growth aid during this stretch, but i haven't really noticed any results thus far. so i decided to brush the dust off of my OCT and mixed it with some JBCO. i will continue to use these until my next touch up which will be in about 4 weeks.

well at least i'm still shopping my stash. plus i get to use up 2 products at one time!!

sidenote: i think i will add a growth chart t shirt to my reward for not buying any new products. i've been wanting one of these for a minute now.....

 

[glamchick84]

its been a few days, and i haven't had the urge 2 buy. but what is kbb? u ladies are up in here giving product reviews wth lol

 

[robot.]

i hope shescentit re-stocks her entire store soon. i feel like everything i want is out of stock!

 

[Eisani]

KBB= Karens Body Beautiful www.karensbodybeautiful.com

i hope shescentit re-stocks her entire store soon. i feel like everything i want is out of stock!

Maybe it's a sign

That is one of the reasons for this thread, stated in the op. It helps people to make decisions and better choices on buying products. There is nothing like a good honest review. You can give some too, the more the better.

 

[mkd]

I ordered from shescentit this morning. I really think I am good for a minute. I did see that hairveda is bringing the green tea butter back Jan 15. I haven't used it before but I see so many raves about it...

Wow, that was fast... I will not buy any though... I refuse to spend money on hair stuff before March.

 

[mkd]

That is a good goal Lamara. I should roll with you.

 

[Eisani]

Does anyone else get irritated by people asking them to try some of their stuff IRL? I gave a friend of mine a sample of some Afroveda shea-amla and next thing I know, someone I rarely talk to is asking for some. *blinking* It's weird, I don't mind sending samples and stuff to cousins, but the outside world? Not so much... I believe the person I did give some to try is a member of 1 or 2 forums anyway because she's an Oyin junkie and is familiar with the lingo. She also recognized my Flexi 8 and called it by name

ETA: Oh yea, has anyone thought of maybe doing a few heads to help use up product and make a few extra bucks? Now that I'm in the land of the unemployed and on FTS status, I've been strongly entertaining doing a couple rollersets a week for people...IDK if I have the patience.

I would be so annoyed by that. Random people asking for samples. I would never do that, I would just buy my own. And I would totally do people's hair if I had the skills. You should do it!

I've been thinking about it, I just get so easily irked lol. I went to a wedding and had 3 different people ask what I was doing to my hair. I told them nothing really, and just gave a general overview of my weekly routine and of course they looked bebaffled (yes, bebaffled). I sometimes just think it would be easier for me to just do their hair for them every week, but that takes me back to the first point. I get irked easily!

 

[Charz]

I am going to buy stuff only when I run outta product. I will make two exceptions though.

Shescentit and Qhemet's new products.

 

[Minty]

Today I am freeing myself of books.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I was tired of looking at partially opened bottles of conditioner so I combined them all into the Aussie Moist bottle. The more organized my closet is it the better i feel about the amount of products I have and why I don't need any more until the summertime I believe. I may need more deep conditioners before then but I won't buy anything else.

I'm still upset. I order my Jessicurl products over a week ago and they still haven't sent a shipping notice except to say that the order has been processed. This in its self is helping curb the desire to order anything because the price of shipping is high and sometimes it takes forever to get product.
