Have you used this product MissTrina?
wantlonghealthyhair said:Surge isn't popular here, it doesnt have jojoba
wantlonghealthyhair said:I Don't think Paltas Oil has Jojoba in it!
rosie said:Surge was/is popular on LHCF, just not raved about anymore.
You're right, it doesn't have jojoba oil.
Ooops, looks like Paltas doesn't either.
wantlonghealthyhair said:lol, this thread is back....
Candy C my friend also greases her scalp alone with La india miracle grease (you mentioned it in one of your RECENT threads?)
(maybe) this is giving her good growth too?....
the paltas she uses the shampoo, treatment and conditioner, paltas is known to make the hair thick (going by what the man in the asian BSS SAID) la india is known to give good length (going by what i know already!)
i have far too many products to use up and i dont want to start mixing chemicals in my hair, i cant afford for all my efforts to fall out in the bath!
but i will be trying out paltas and i will give an honest review!
(i have used the oil in the past but didnt notice any growth because at that time i used to rub eveything and anything into my hair) lack of hair care knowledge!
she is definitely hiding something with jojoba oil in it because when i ask her she shrugs it off! i've known this girl ALL my life and know when she is acting "shady"
her mum says she uses a lot of natural/organic products now, i'm really happy for her that she is taking such good care of her hair. i love to see black hair thrive....
she definitely aint using MTG cos she wouldn't trust such a product..i would've smelled it too..that smell cant hide from me!

okay?MissTrina said:No, I just did a quick search for it for you all.
Congrats to An_Original_Copy. Where did you order your Paltas?An_Original_Copy said:I got my Paltas in the mail today. I'm going to saturate my hair with organic coconut oil, and let it set overnight, and wash on the morning with CON poo, and conditioner. I'll be using the Paltas tomorrow and will report back with my results in two weeks...
An_Original_Copy said:I got mine from afrobest.com, but it took TWO weeks to get here, and I had to drive a half hour away to the main post office just to sign for it. I heard it's sold on ebay too, and I may buy it from there next time.
melodee said:I am too lazy to read the whole thread before posting--sorry if this is repetitive. This is my 2 cents.
I think it is okay if she doesn't want to tell--it's like Patti LaBelle who took forever to give people her family cooking recipes. Now, I am usually up front with people about my hair secrets, but if I know someone is only out to criticize my decisions, I will tell them it's an "ancient chinese secret".
As for the weave--yes, when I read this I was thinking, I bet she used extensions in some way, shape, or form. But then as I was reading some posts I thought.........
DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO SPILL THE BEANS ABOUT OUR WEAVES/PIECES?WIGS?
I occasionally wear pieces/ponies to protect my hair or to get instant style when I don't want to get out the flat iron. And I am very honest about this...but I don't think I owe everybody an explanation to second I walk in the door. I mean, if they are in the know, I don't care.
But I don't want to announce to all my friends or co-workers "I'm wearing a piece today for all who may want to know". And I don't let anyone to a "weave" inspection of my hair, whether it's my own brastrap length hair or a hairpiece.
I was even considering a sew in for the first time to give my strands a rest (as opposed to braiding that I've done in the past). And if I get it, it will be the same length as my hair and I won't be trying to pass it off as my hair. But I also will not feel the need to wear a "I'm wearing a weave" sign or tell everyone that comments that it looks nice.
I respect everyone's opinions on here and I am not trying to argue. So no tomatoes. But I also think there is no one magic answer to each person's hair growth--some things like vits and oils work for some folks, but they are not a cureall for everybody's needs.
I also heard it's being sold there recently. I just want to find out if they are reputable before making any decisions. Most people are honest...I'd like to think, however there's always a few that aren't.An_Original_Copy said:I got mine from afrobest.com, but it took TWO weeks to get here, and I had to drive a half hour away to the main post office just to sign for it.

CantBeCopied said:ITA! Years ago, my cousin grew her hair to brastrap length using pine tar oil conditioning pre-poos and various other techniques like wrapping, satin scarves everynight and protective buns 3 weeks out of each month, never using a blow dryer, always doing a wrap when it was to be worn down, she also was drinking gelatin powder mixed with water.
But, when you would ask her, "how did you grow your hair this long this quick" her response was always, "prenatal vitamins girl".The sistas are COMPETITIVE!!
CurleeDST said:When I was 7/8 years old I got impetigo in the center of my scalp. My mom had to cut all of my hair off in that spot to help get rid of the infection. Once the infection was cleared up I had long hair and this BALD SPOT straight dead in the center of my hair.
When we last visited the doctor he recommended my mom making and feeding me gelatin (JELLO) on a daily basis to promote rapid hair growth in the bald spot area. My hair grew back VERY quickly - like within 6 months from eating a bowl of gelatin a day.
Drink gelatin or take the pills - it is the foundation of strong hair and nails.
CurleeDST said:I thought it was cool b/c as a child I got to eat JELLO every day!! It was very cool.
CurleeDST said:No b/c I hate the taste of jello now!
Samaria said:Awww, its funy how you can love something SOOO much when you're younger and then older totally detest it. I think I will really try it though
CurleeDST said:If I were you I would try it for at least 2 months before making a decision on its effectiveness.
It worked for me when I was 8. Even my mom was amazed.
