Skala Hair Products.

[PJaye]

Initially, I had used the lone Shea Butter conditioner I purchased for co-washing; however, after a week’s worth of usage, I decided to test its efficacy as a leave-in conditioner. I must say that it has worked superbly in both roles.

Now, I’ve taken to using it in a water spritz for the days when I am either unwilling or unable to completely immerse my hair in water (1/2 cup of Skala with 1 tbsp. of Hot 6 oil, 1 tsp. of Vitamin E, 1 tsp. of glycerin and approximately 8oz of water).

This is some good stuff; I may have to stop restraining myself and buy more than one bottle at a time.

I am really loving that G3 leave in. I applied a bunch to my kids' hair to detangle and put their hair in braided pony tails.

They had reall soft and smooth hair when I undid it, like a really nice braid out which is miraculous considering what their hair looked like beforehand.

I went back to BL and I bought the last 2 C3 leave ins!! So happy!!

It works well in my hair too - I cowashed with C3 conditioner, rinsed out, applied grapeseed oil then C3 leave in and it was very nice!!

I am very lazy - I need to take pics!!

I really love the G3 leave in as well. At first I was just using it on my wet hair when I rollerset and was using the shea on dry hair daily BUT I finally tried the G3 on my dry hair and

My SO and I nearly came to blows over Skala today !!!

In the mall after lunch:-
Me: Can we go over to the supermarket please? I need some stuff I can't find in carrefour.
SO: Hmm, what?
Me: Just some hair stuff.
SO: Hun, you have a bathroom full of crap already. What do you need more stuff for?
Me: (Ferociously) It's Skala and it's fantastic and I must have ceramides or I'll die.
SO: What the hell is ceramides? I can hardly turn in the bathroom yet you keep buying more crap?
Me: Call my hair stuff crap one more time?
SO: I thought you're going natural?
Me: I am.
SO: So what do you need all this stuff for? I thought it means leaving your hair alone for nature to do stuff.
Me: WHAT? Ok, buddy. Mind your own business and leave me and my hair alone.
SO: You're the one who won't leave your hair alone.
Me: Talk about my hair one more time.
SO: Ok, i'll meet you at the check out counter crazy hair lady.

Despite all that, I only found the avocado leave in.....

That is so funny......My dh says the same thing....and he only eats all organic fruits and vegetables....So let him fix his lips about my products LOL......But he uses my stuff in his hair so he doesn't complain much.....Actually he doesn't complain at all....because my bills for hair products are far less than my bills were for getting my hair done all the time & buying products....

Got my tubs of Skala Cristal Bath and Extra Lisos today! The Cristal leaked a little and got all over the tubs so I went to clean them up and it got all over my hands. So I was rinsing my hands and I noticed it took quite a bit of rinsing to get it off and when I was done my hands were SOFT! OMG I cannot wait to put this stuff on my hair! I will review it tomorrow. Oh, and the Cristal smells good but the Extra Lisos smells REALLY good.

 

[SelfStyled]

Cannot wait to hear about the Cristal Bath- I have that version in the Kanechom and I love it. The extra lisos is divine one of the best Skala's I have tried so far.

Tell me more about this microwaved unsweetened dark chocolate:scratchch

I put small amount of silken tofu in blender with tablespoon of oil. I nuked small block of Ghiradelli unsweetened dark chocolate. I poured melted chocolate into blender and mixed until it looked like chocolate meringue. I have not seen the chocolate or silken tofu of since I left Virginia several years ago.

Be careful ... this is a strong protein mix. I never use heat when I deep condition, my head sweats and a plastic baggie is my limit. HTH

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Tried the G3 after my shampoo. It felt better than last time but it still did not detangle my hair. It's good enough to use up but I won't be repurchasing.

Why does my bf think that's what going natural means too? Even after I've explained to him countless times. He said why do I need hair products if I'm going natural I'm supposed to use natural products. At the time, I had shea butter in my hair. I said this IS natural. He claims its not since we can't just go outside and get shea butter out the grass. MEN

I look in N. Y. C couldn't find any..Oh well!









Happy Hair Growing!

I'm enjoying Skala so far but I noticed I don't have super slip. I'm thinking it's just because my strands are very fine - my hair just tangles. Even using a leave in the past on my wet hair my hair would have some knots to go through. Though after using skala conditioners going through my hair wet isn't too bad compared to other products i've used. I really enjoy the softness of my hair after using Skala as well as the strength it seems to give to my strands. I figure the longer I use it the better my hair will be.

 

[NikStarrr]

I tried the Ceramides G3 conditioner today. I like it better than the Aloe Vera. As long as I can continue to get it for a buck--I'll keep the G3 in the line-up.

 

[tri3nity]

Are you ladies using the G3 alone? I just purchased 3 bottles from BL and trying to figure out how to incorporate it into my regimen. Should I use it after I deep condition since its used to strengthen the strand and seal the cuticle?

 

[tri3nity]

anybody in houston, texas find a big lots with more than just the g3 shampoo. Ive been to two already, and found nothing.

I would like to know this as well. I was going to do a BL search on tomorrow to search for more skala. Ive only been to the one on 1960 so far and found 5 bottles of G3 cond. There's 3 more in this area that I will go to tomorrow and 2 by my job that I will hit up next week. Let me know which ones youve been to so I wont go.

 

[Love~Above~Color]

Is anyone using the conditioner or the masque as a leave in? is it safe to do this? I used the aloe masque as a leave in and sealed with hairveda's Cocosta oil. My curls were crazy defined, frizz free, and very soft.

I use them both as leave ins. No prob, my hair loves them both.

 

[Sapphire_chic]

I think i'm going to stick to G3 (and chocolate), it's great my hair loves it and I just had the easiest detangling session ever when I sprayed some more water on top *love*

I can't wait to try the leave in!

Jaborandi Conditioner....I used for the 1st time last night instead of the Aloe Vera Condish I discovered was expired. So far, this is my least favorite out of the 3 I've tried. Still superior to most conditioners I've tried, though. I'm not sure WHAT it is about this Skala, but the products seem to like my hair. Gave me a lot of slip (not as much as G3 or AV masque, but more than most other brand conditioners I've tried), left my hair COMPLETELY, COMPLETELY untangled.....like wtf did I just relax/flat iron my hair untangled. A little suspect, lol. Con is the smell to me. I do not like the smell. I'm not even picky about smells of hair products so long as I get results, screw the smell! But to me, it's just too........orange-y or something. I don't know, not a fan. Otherwise, still great! Will definitely continue to use!

CRUCIAL SKALA UPDATE YALL (maaaaybe lol )......

I think I have put my finger on what the smell of Jaborandi is......it reminds me of the cheap tangerine air freshener in the ladies bathroom at work!

I totally realized this yesterday when I was in there after the cleaning lady. I was like SNIFFSNIFF......SMELLS LIKE SKALA JABORANDI!

I'm just glad I connected what it was reminding me of, lol.

 

[drappedup]

I will say I've used Jaborandi twice more since my initial review, and I just want to say......OMG......SO SOFT. Did not know my hair could be so pillowy.

I'm telling yall, Skala is SO close to becoming my BEST FRIEND FOREVER right now. Not even joking, lol.

Try it alone as a conditioner or cowash..and see how it works on your hair. THEN you'll know how best to incorporate it into your regime.
I've noticed that it acts differently on wet and dry hair. (FOR ME) If you've got the conditioner, also use it as a DC and see how it works for you.

 

[kaykaybobay]

Well since I'm obsessed now with Skala I am on an endless search to get my hands on other varieties out there. I sent an email to the Skala folks - the will not be carrying any other varieties I guess in the states for sale just the basic Shea - C3 - alone. I found a website from Japan that has a bunch of other varieties http://www.sannas.jp/main/en/cosmetics.html?marca=150&cat=91
I'm sure shipping will kill, i'm used to ordering clothes from Japan I figure how not hair products!

It is amazing (and fun) how much experimentation we can do with Skala. I had given up on the G3 as having as much slip as the others. Until I shampooed AND conditioned with the G3. That's the ticket for me! I have to use them together for the awesome slip. Glad I tried!

You know...the only shampoo I have is the Avocado...and did not realize how true that statement is until I used the shampoo WITH the conditioner. NOW I want to go back and get the shampoos for the Aloe and G3..because that Avocado worked soooo well together.

Go get 'em! Skala poos are the most moisturizing shampoos I have EVER used with the exception of Nioxin.

 

[kaykaybobay]

Right now I'm using the shea mask - could not get my hands on the C3 or Aloe mask yet to try- During the week I use the C3 conditioner and the Alone. Both make my hair feel great! but I comb does not exactly glide through super easily. Some sections of my hair yes, a couple of others no. I really just think its my thin strands.

 

[kaykaybobay]

SOOOOOOOOOOO gonna try that choco!!

Do you have choco? can yet get choco? cannot find it in the DC, MD, VA area - it's looking like I will have to order from Pak's or from a place in Japan lol.

Hmmmmm, I didn't buy any of the shampoos cos I'm transitioning and my hair isn't feeling sulphates any more at all but maybe I should give the choco, keratin and avocado a try and see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll stock up anyway. It might prove better to use when I'm fully natural.

Hey Americka, how moisturising are they? I'm a little worried about the sulphates in them.

It seems the ladies in the US have found it at the Brazilian hair shops. Some of them have found lots of the other SKALA products locally. So if you can find one of those BSS near you can check there before you order them from overseas, this will SOOOOO save you on shipping.
