Skala Hair Products.

I tried the Jaborandi conditioner yesterday and my hair was like . I thought my hair would love it because of all of the good ingredients but my hair was feelin' no parts of it. I LOVED the aloe vera masque I used last weekend. Maybe the masque really are that much better than the regular conditioner or maybe there are just certain ones that my hair is going to like a lot better than others. I hope that my hair likes the G3 conditioner because I have several bottles of that one.

I tried the Jaborandi conditioner and masque after my K-pak treatment. Didn't like it but I will try it next week when I don't do a protein treatment. I wasn't sure if Jaborandi was a protein or moisture one. However I didn't see the shine that it promised.

I am transitioning to natural, probably have 4b hair.

You ladies have to remember that Jaborandi is for VOLUME. It won't be too moisturizing because then the hair would be weighed down and no volume. I would never use this one after a protein treatment. You have to go for the heavy moisture ones like SB and AV. I like Jab because it makes my hair super soft but it doesn't feel super moisturized after using it. I only use it on days when I feel my hair doesn't need too much extra moisture.

Hey did you do a review of the Kanechomn? How do you like it?

No I haven't done a review. I used Kanechomn to CW while in Brazil & it worked just fine. It has a cone in it & the consistency of the Skala masks. But I like the ingredients in the Skala Jamborandi condish. I haven't found the Skala jamb mask here. In the States, I use the Vizcaya Keratin mask mixed with my Dominican conditioners to DC. This product has the thick consistency of US & Dominican DCs.

so.... i used my skala yall.... and i must say bum-bum-BUUUUUMMMMMMMM!!!!

i'm not impressed lol the masque i guess was so-so. i mean for $1 i guess it could have sucked fat monkey balls, but it didnt so i plan to reuse it til done. i did mix it with evco. it was way thinner than i expected. by the way i used the aloe vera one.

then i washed my hair with my normal poo and then went to use the cond (shea butter) AND OMG THIS SUCKED FAT HAIR MONKEY BALLS!!!! what's going on yall?!?!? the cond was thin and runny compared to what i'm used to using and it didnt have a fond smell to it (not nasty, just not yummy). AND THERE WAS ZERO SLIP!!! i almost started to cry because i lost so much freakin hair!!! i havent lost that much hair since my relaxed days yall, i almost panicked. when i 1st started to have problems i should have rinsed this stuff out and started over with my usual cond. mind you, i finger comb yall and it was a disaster!!!.

once i got out and towel dried, sprayed on my home made juice and then finished detangling since i didnt do that good of a job in the shower since i was losing so much hair. i then used the cond as a leave in. i'm letting my hair air dry and i'm hoping that i will be able to at least use this stuff as a leave in cause i will never use it in my wash routine again. if i can at least use it as a leave in then i can get my $1 worth lmao.

if once my hair air dries, it feels like boo-boo, i'm starting over with my usual stuff and donating my stash to my cousin.



this is a bandwagon i should have let pass me lmao but for $1 i couldnt resist!

has your hair recovered?

NO MA'AM! That jab masque moisturized the heck outta my head. I had to protein treat the next week cuz my hair was absolutely too soft for my liking.

 

[Shaley]

OK Frisky, spill the beans on the Kanechmon. Which ones do you have? Did you purchase it locally?

I want to know this too

 

[Keshieshimmer]

I'm kinda surprised at myself for jumping on this bandwagon, but at $1, what the heck, why not?

I bought a Jambordi shampoo and conditioner. They smelled bad to me, so I almost didn't buy them. I bought the G3 shampoo - they only had the shampoo, not the conditioner. Who knows when I will even try the products since I have so much stuff I really like....

Yes it smells like dial soap or that beige brand of soap. BTW my hair felt coated and not moisturized. But I will give it another go but without doing a protein treatment.

 

[*Frisky*]

I want to know this too

I got it locally and I have the Flora Capucua(sp).

 

[mzsophisticated26]

I Tried the jaborandi yesterday, it smells like that old orange color dial soap..yuck. My hair was not really soft but the ceramides g3 leaves my hair softer so i followed up with that and because i wanted to cover the smell..lol.. I may try one more time but i need moisture. My faves from skala are the ceramides and aloe vera cond

 

[JustSimplyTish]

Ok I will not be looking for the Jaborandi...I am really crazy when it comes to scents .. so I am holding where I am with the Aloe and G3

 

[Love~Above~Color]

I'd still like to try the Jabbathehair and the Fruit Cocktail...wanna see how it works on my hair.
However it is good to know these reviews, cuz maybe wanna mix them up and see how that works too.

 

[Love~Above~Color]

Awesome review, L.A.C.! I have the same experience with the Shea Butter shampoo. It's like - how can a shampoo have the nerve to give that kind of slippage? Amazing!

Disclaimer - Not everyone who uses Skala will have this experience.

ohhh sooo true..which is why I want to experience them all for myself...reading reviews really helps judge..but want to see how it reacts on my head before deciding.

Aww too bad I don't get that reaction from the Jab.

 

[chelleypie810]

^^that's so weird! Diff. heads react differently I suppose. That is crazy.

Yes!! That's what it is. I kept saying it smelled like 'old lady' soap but Dial Gold is what it smells like. I remember that stuff erplexed.

I don't mind the smells because it isn't loud to me. I don't like a loud smelling head.

Anywho, I tried the Aloe. I'm not a big fan of it but it's fine for cowashing.

I love the Jaborandi shampoo and conditioner. It had my hair so soft when I moved, my hair moved. It was moving so much when I walked, my hair stuck to my lipgloss a few times when the wind blew and I hate when my hair sticks to my lipgloss.

So I have Aloe, Jaborandi, and C3 in my stash. Overall I like Jaborandi and C3 the best and I would buy again....but not until I deplete the store I already own. I won't buy Aloe or the G3 leave ins anymore. The leave in is ok but nothing to write home about.

If you are in Memphis/North Mississippi and you are unable to fine Aloe and G3 leave in, let me know because I'm fully stocked.

 

[gimbap]

I like how Jaborandi smells. Out of the 3 skala condiotiners I've used (G3, AV, and Ja), it's my least favorite though.

 

[~VicTorIAn~]

I went to big lots yesterday and I know some of ya'll were up in there. Pantene Garnier, Tresseme & dem all untouched but 3 bottles of G3 conditioner left. *side eye*
You guys couldnt leave me 1 DC???

Well just rub it in why don't you Ms. Chelleypie!

Did you find the G3 Leave in Kinda thick...it just seemed like I was applying shampoo ....But maybe I applied more than I needed...it was the first go at it

I really don't know what it is. I can be heavy handed and if I use too much it seems to leave a coating. Seems like my hair is heavier with it. It is fine to use after my cowash mixed with my scurl because I hide my hair with wigs during the week. On the weekends I wear my hair and I have to be very careful with the amount I use with rollersetting. One squirt too much and I have heavy hair. My hair was great this weekend but with all the eye measuring I gotta do, I can live without it.

Yeah I got the coated feeling too....I had to rinse a lot out with water ...I will just try a tiny bit next time.....

 

[justicefighter1913]

I got the coated feeling too. I thought that I might've used too much....I hope that's all it iserplexed

 

[kandegirl]

Ok, who's hitting up the Big Lots in H-town b/c only the cermide shampoo is left. ***side-eye***

 

[JustSimplyTish]

Ohhhh Yippeee My Secret LHCF Santa sent me a package......I now have some Jablahblah and Aloe Conditioner to try ....... I'm so excited...want to see how it likes my hair...I opened it in the car....the smell did not bother me...it did kind of remind me of the Gold dial soap...but it smelled clean so I can handle that...I can't handle Floral Old lady perfumey scents.....

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I must have a Skala angel! She sent me 2 conditioners to try. The Shea Butter and the Jaborandi!She's a special angel because she sent me her favorite conditioner! LHCF family is so awesome!

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Wait a minute what's goin on? Secret Santas and special angels? Is it Christmas? Am I missing something? I wanna play secret santa....or obtain an angel lol ANYWHO I'm getting ready to try my Skala G3 condish. Hope it's a STAPLE!!!

 

[manter26]

My mom told me my hair looked nice today, I've had the same style braids in for 7 months. I pulled them into a pony and Bobby pinned a poof in front like always. The difference, I used the Aloe condish mixed with 5 parts water as my leave in. Makes my curls pop, no frizz and moist hair.

I hate the smell and I prefer G3 as a cowash, but it makes an excellent leave in. The weird thing is, even mixed with all that water the conditioner keeps it's same consistancy...it's freaky. But it'll go a lot further. VO5 and Suave are out! Skala and Pantene will be my staples (once I work through my pj stash of nonsense.)

 

[JustSimplyTish]

I am like a little kid...I jumped in the shower and washed my hair as soon as I got home with my goodies...I did a shampoo first .....then I co-washed with the Jabwhatever and then used the Aloe leave in.....My curls are so defined and soft while they are wet....I can't wait to see how they are when they dry.....I mixed the Aloe Leave In with a little Knot Today.....

I had to take pictures so I can see my b4 and after to make sure I can tell the difference

My dh was like...ahhh a shower in the middle of the day...are you having an affair...I said yep with my Skala products

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Yep Skala's a no go for me. So glad it was only a dollar and I only bought one! I'll be giving it away

 

[JustSimplyTish]

^^ Which one did you try ....I'm sorry it didn't work.....you can't even use for co-washing?
