Ladies I was thisclose to attempting to order from Pak...THISCLOSE....

UNTIL

DH (that could be d*$# hubby today LOL) came in and said he didn't feel comfy with me ordering from them since paypal wasn't an option. He said we didn't want to be one of those people on freecreditreport.com talking about our identity was stolen. LOL So its a no go.

HOWEVER I do have business contacts in Europe that I might be able to get my hands on some CHOCOLATE. They live in Germany but travel everywhere overseas. I will keep you ladies updated.

this thread is too funny!

OK - we need a science lesson now. How are these products delivering results? As mentioned above they have a very short ingredient list. They are full of stuff we have been taught not to put in our hair and they only cost from $1.00 or £1.99

Can anyone break it down for us? What is the magic ingredient?


Oh - i bought a Chocolate conditioner during my lunch break today!

I wondered the same thing. Then I actually received my shipment. According to the ingredients the Shea butter and Ceramide lines don't have cones, just petroleum. First indgredient is water, the second is an emulsifying/thickening agent derived from oils and fats. The third is a conditioning agent. There are antiseptics and preservatives. Citric acid, perfume and coloring. So all in all its not really full of bad stuff. But I honestly couldn't tell you what the 'magic' ingredient is.

I used the shea butter condish and my hair felt really good. Then I used the shea leave in and my hair was bone dry after I blew it dry. Not a good feeling.

This is Allandra's post from 2003, in the Brazillian Hair Secrets thread. Maybe she or Sassygirl can answer your questions:

Sassygirl and I have a few Skala cream conditioners. I really like them (work great on my hair).

Sassygirl got me hooked on Skala cream conditioners.

I sniffed my Avocado Shampoo last night. It smells like Green Apple Candy - Now and Laters or Jolly Ranchers!!

I have my Skala stashed in my closet at my office. Who hides hair products at work??

The aloe vera line has dimethicone in the masque (it's the only aloe vera product I have), but I think that's it. Thank you for the clarification. I'm sorry the shea butter leave-in did not work for you. I SOOOO wanted to try this.

This is not a boring question. lol.

I have been using Skala for almost a month now for co-washes, DC's and the thing that I have noticed (like with most petroleum products) that I have to clarify more. I clarified 2x this month as opposed to once...BUT the benefits are the following:

1. Softness after air-dry
2. Less reversion when straightening
3. Shiny hair.
4. Moisturizing less - My hair holds moisture longer so I can skip moisturizing for a day or two before I need to co-wash or moist.& seal again.

Just my 2 centavos.

You are so lucky...

But y'all have the ceramides G3 and aloe vera all to yourselves .

hmmmm have forgotten to take some home from work, but not stashing it there....
canNOT wait to get the Avocado....THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

So can we start a thread with a poll and vote on which ones are our favorites, and then post about what they do for us? It would be nice to have it all in once place. This thread is getting quite long...

On another note: I purchased the Aloe Vera and G3 from Giant yesterday, along wtih the Fruit Cocktail. I only got the masks and the G3 conditioner. My hair feels dry today and not as it usually does, BUT I did do a protein treatment before I used the G3 conditioner and didn't DC first. I did also apply the Aloe Vera mask as well and left both of them in.

I'm thinking I may need to clarify first, then do my protein treatment, DC and then use these products. Using them right after the protein treatment doesn't seemed to have worked for me. Also, is anyone leaving in the CON or are you using the Leave-In only as a Leave-IN? Are the ingredients the same for both? TIA

 

[Anew]

No skala in my city *whimper*

 

[Be Positive]

No skala in my city *whimper*

We have plenty here (Pcola)

 

[chelleypie810]

I cleared the masks anew and 1 aloe condish! someone else got the rest of the stuff.

 

[Cxshortie]

I just went to my big lots and got FC masks and G3 shampoo and conditioner. smh

 

[LaidBak]

Upon reviewing the ingredients on the Shea and Ceramide conditioners and masks I see they are exactly the same. I'm guessing the only difference is the amount of water in the con vs. the mask. Is it the same for the other lines?
In light of this, I'm just gonna order the cons from now on.

 

[jerseygurl]

Belle where is this Giant?

 

[crlsweetie912]

My second bl run was a bust....they had one aloe and on ceramide shampoo and lots of ceramide conditioners and leave ins. No masks at all!

 

[SuchMagnificent]

Would some relaxed ladies chime in on how they like this particular line and which products they use and how? Im really interested...kthxbye

 

[belle_reveuse28]

Jersey,

The Giant is on Leesburg Pike, right across from Target @ Skyline. They have the Fruit Cocktail mask, Shea Butter Con and Poo, G3 Con and Poo, Aloe Vera Con and Poo. They didn't have any Leave-ins. They are 5.99 each. I'm looking for Avacado, but can't find it. Are you going to Route 1 today? You nkow there's an AJ Wright on Route 1 as well. I saw a post in here that AJ Wright may have them. I know there's one up near U Street by the Tivoli Theater as well.

I'm going to check the one near Forestville since I gotta go to the Hill for Bible study tonight.

I am also needing the : avacado line, G3 mask and Shea butter mask or leave-in. If you find them, let me know. I can pay you and we can meet somewhere in the city.
