Skala Hair Products.

I used ORS olive oil replenishing pak for first time today and rinsed out. Felt a tangle in rear above nape. I conditioner washed & detangled with Skala G3 ceramides. Wore a turbie twist to absorb excess water while I got dressed. It was easy to juice with CFCG, section hair and do 5 braids, tuck under ballcap and run out the door.

Which one did you go to? I am just curious because I went to 6 a few weeks ago and they didn't have anything besides G3 poo.

I got the Jaborini from the location @ Westheimer & Gessner near where I work and the Shea and Avocado in the Woodlands off Sawdust today. That's about 15 minutes from my house.

Thanks. I went to kirby, 45 tidwell, pearland, westheimer gessner, missouri city, and another one downtown. I will try to check again since it seems like they may have restocked. But I won't go to no more than 2 this time.
 
I tried just co-washing my hair without any Skala conditioner but just using my regular conditioners, Trader Joe's and Suave...and using only the G3 Leave In.....and the results were so great....to be honest ...I think the leave in is what is making my curls so defined and soft.....I get great slip with the conditioner...But after weeks of experimenting it is the Leave-In that is the staple for me....because it works with any of my products...I did not find the skala conditioner alone without the leave-in left my hair defined and not as soft after it dried...but soft nevertheless ...but it feels like fluffy goodness after the leave-In....
Even on dry hair....adding a bit of leave-in makes my hair all refreshed and lovely without washing it

I have been doing a lot of experimenting just so I give the accurate reviews on my experience with the products.....
So for me...I will continue to use the conditioner....not a big must that I repurchase...But the leave-In is a MUST for me.....
I have not tried any of the Masque extensively so no new reviews on those

I found the Jaborini at westheimer and gessner. I didn't know there was one on Kirby! Still looking for avocado shampo and the whole aloe and chocolate line!
 
The Ceramides G3 Leave In Ingredients.....
Not sure if they have been listed

Aqua (water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Propylene Clycol, Glycerin, Ceramides G3: (Laureth-2 (and) Mireth-2 (and) Octyldodecanol (and) Cetyl Lactate (and) Soybean Oil and Hydrigenated Polyisobutene (and) Ethyl Linoleate (and) Ethyl Oleate), Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Citric Acid, Parfum (fragrance)
 
I used G3 for the first time yesterday and I must say I love it! I clarified with Avalon lemon and shea, then poo'd with the G3, dc with ytc hair & scalp mask, followed by the G3 and a cold rinse and LTR leave in (1st x using this too) sat under the dryer to knock most of the water out of it and put on my satin bonnet and went to bed. Oh my god this morning! Keep in mind I am a relaxed 4a, my hair was bouncy and flowing without flat ironing. I just combed it with a wide tooth comb and kept it moving! (just like my hair) so far so good! Next week i'll try the avocado!
 
Avocado is my new love:love: I really like the smell and the results are wonderful. I think I like it better than that Fruit Cocktail. I still have the Shea Butter, Chocolate and the Kanechom Mixed Chocolate to try. I plan on using the G3 shampoo everytime I wash and then just using each masque afterwards to get a feel for them. Any breakage I was having has been stopped in it's tracks since I have been using Skala.

Glad it works for you. I had the big wash day yesterday and shampooed both kids after they were in our pool :ohwell:.

Their hair usually is super-tangled from the chlorine and it takes hours to wash and condition.

I pooed both with G3 and followed it with a G3/Jaborandi blend and let it sit for about 10 minutes under a shower cap.

It was like a miracle - no tangles, very little hair shed and I was done while the sun was still up!! It took about 1/3 the usual time so I was ecstatic to have my day back!!
 
*** G3 is the bizzzness......I swear all I need is about 10 bottles of the Leave-In and I would be happy as all get out**** I have four now....I will hunt the other 6 down soon

It's funny, cuz don't care if someone bites my head off or not...can only report how a product works for me...what i've learned from being in this comm...SOMEONE has an answer and if not...people give enough thoughts and comments that I can figure something out that works for ME. I too am glad MzMo posted her comments, just wish others who had a bad experience could/would have posted in this thread as well.
oh well...hindsight is 20/20 and what works for one...may not work for another...
that's why they got Mikey to try it.
As for me and my head....we be SKALAHEADS ALLLLLLLLLLLL THE WAY

Sooo I had to try the C3 Shampoo just too see what difference it would make using it along with the matching products - I give it a thumbs up! it took no time to remove any tangles that I had, my come pretty much eased through! I put no additional moisturizer in my hair until this morning just a tad bit of castor oil on each section. I wanted to also see how my hair felt after using the C3 line by itself. I would give that a positive as well - hair pretty moisturized - but I still needed just a dab of castor oil - but that's just me and my fine normally parched strands.
I also have some questions for skala fans - my goals from using this line is just having moisturized hair (have that) - stronger hair - preventing of the splits my natural hair has (some very nasty ones :( and stopping the little breaks I do get from time to time

1. What hair goals do you want to accomplish from using the skala lines or have accomplished
2. How long did it take to notice a reduction of any hair issues since using skala

It was mt goal to gain more moisturized and stronger hair. I had a LOT of breakage from BKT and I did not do a hardcore protein treatment to stop it. I found this Skala thread and started using it daily without fail. Now I do not see any breakage, when I try to break shed hairs they finally resist and my hair is more moisturized like never before (but that could be because I'm wetting it daily but I know Skala helps).

I believe it took two weeks of daily use to see a major difference and I think I have been using it for 3-4 weeks now.

Are you using the Avocado con or masque?
 
Anybody using any of these cons as a DC? I'm thinking of adding some honey, grapeseed & wheat protein to the jaborini!! :lick: I'm going to do the first time alone then experiment my mid week wash!

I've never used a con by itself as a DC. However, I have mixed the FC masque, Jaborandi con, macadamia nut oil and vitamin e oil as a DC. Can we say :lick:? I think it was the Jaborandi that set it off.

Have any kitchen chemists in here tried any of the following please:-

  1. Keratin + chocolate
  2. Avocado + chocolate
  3. Avocado + shea butter
  4. Shea butter + chocolate
I'm particularly interested in mix 1 & 2 and want to give either one a try this weekend if possible. TIA :)

Am considering #3. Tried the SB by itself..and it didn't give me the slip of the AV....Tried the AVO by itself and LUSTED it...much more than the AV... However the AV and I are still on a love, love relationship....tried to AV and the SB and that was nice...but something in the SB, just doesn't do right on my head (posted this before)...sooo am gonna give it a mix with first the AVO and then the C3 and see what it does. I don't have a lot of it so, not too concerned.

1 ~ continue to get healthy hair...learn what really works and keep on improving my regime.
2 ~ after the 1st wash noticed the softness and as the days have gone by, tha softness continues and hair actually seems to be stronger...
 
Last night I mixed Shea Butter and Aloe Vera masque to cowash. SLIPPERY GOODNESS!!!!!!! I then applied the Shea Butter leave in (I have no aloe vera leave in) and my hair is sooooo soft this morning.

The ceramide, Jabawhatever and FC alone did nothing for me, so I am gonna try mixing them. I think I will definitely mix FC with the shea and aloe vera masque. If that doesn't work, look for me in the Swap thread.

I haven't been blessed with any Avocado masque YET.

I did a mix of SB and AVO and all I can say is WOW! That was seriously I've felt anything melt tangles away, I followed it up with the C3 con and leave in and airdried and was in absolute heaven!
 
I hate the smell as well referencing your post before this one, but man my hair loves the Jaborandi stuff and the ingredients are wonderful. I am not even that sensitive to smells, but I absolutely hate that smell...

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

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! :lachen:

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.

You are so crazy! I record what I've concocted in my hair diary in case I have an un-Skala moment.

FC is okay, but alone it's not like the others. However, as a part of the previously mentioned mix, it is awesome. I want to try Choctaw's suggestion of using unsweetened chocolate. *back to review that post*

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

Bumping for anyone interested! Please pay attention to the red!
