So I have been using Skala products( Aloe vera & G3) for about over a month now and it seems that it has made my hair dry. This has been the only change I made in my regi
. I started using g3 because i am in the ceramides challenge before I found this thread, it makes my hair soft when washing out which I loved but I have recently noticed that my hair seems very dry afterwards with prolonged use. Aloe vera seems to do the same. I have used Jaborandi twice and I will never use it again, at first I thought it was me but it made my hair shed something crazy when combing the conditioner. I skipped a week and used my other conditioners combed and my normal hair shedding like a dimesize. Then the following week I use Jaborandi again and I got loads of hair in my shower comb. The fruit cocktail masque did nothing for my hair. I will just use Skala for my wigs

Thank you so much for that review! I'm sorry that Skala did not work for you, but I am happy you recognized early on that it is not to your advantage to keep using it.

yeah I loved the softness when washing out, I was disappointed that this was the culprit. I will have to go back to Keracare humecto for DC and probably silicon mix for my ceramide fix. However Skala does wonders for my processed and virgin hair wigs so atleast my small stash will not go to waste
Aww lucky! I cannot wait to get that I love the regular con and can only imagine how the masque will be. Coffee said this one is at the top or her list. Above chocolate!
Thanks for the review. See SB didn't really do it for me but thank goodness there are so many to choose from so if you can get them and don't mind experimenting then you're bound to find at least one product you like.
Is it me or has anyone else noticed that your hair stays straighter longer when you use the G3 con or masque?
YES!! I think that's why I like G3 so much it straightens my hair and keeps it that way, frizzies and all.

Like Americka said, thanks for reviewing. I was trying to think about what could be the problem but you are having this issue with both AV and G3 maybe it just doesn't agree with you hair. Bummer! Have you tried them on your wigs yet? How does it work on those? Also you can check the expiration date on the Skala. I had to throw out ALL of my SB because they were all expired. I know some poos and cons can be used well past expiration and perform just fine while others not so much. So I am wondering if maybe Skala is one of those products that just can't go past its expiration date. Just a thought.
ETA: Ok I read your reply above about the wigs.

Stop frontin, you know me!
I forgot to give my review on the Avocado Poo. I can't believe I'm saying this about Poo but I actually liked it. I diluted 1tsp in 24oz of water and poured over my head and messaged it in and rinsed in the shower. My hair didn't feel striped like it does when I use Suave poo in the same manner, and the smell is so yummy...
After I rinsed the poo out I applied the aloe vera condish. Waited a few mintues and then rinsed out. As you can see from my avi pic, I am working with a jungle, but let me tell you something, I don't know if the Avo poo enchanced the Aloe condish but detangling was a breeze for me. I did not use any other product on my hair, not even leave-in! I couldn't believe how fast I was able to detangle my hair, I thought I was dreaming. For me the poo and condish work well together.

Great review! I think aloe is an awesome detangler. I used some on a dried out braid out (my hair tangles something awful with braid outs) and hopped in the shower. It was like silk! Lately, I've been leaving a little conditioner in after the final rinse. I still use the leave in though. I like the results.
I went to Detroit over the weekend. I found tons of G3, Shea Butter, Avocado, and Aloe Vera masques at the Big Lots on 35603 S. Gratiot Ave. in Macomb I found a smaller number of masques at 33100 Schoenherr Road in Warren. Yes, I did do something besides hunt for Skala on my mini-vacation/family visit, but I did make time to find what I could not locate in Alabama.

oh no! All of the shea and avocados that I found are expired! I know I threw that receipt away because I had no intentions of having to take them back!!!
What is the expiration date?

Well...*clears throat* Welcome! What did you purchase and how much of each? Have you ever used Skala before?

i just bought conditioners .. a couple of the jaborandi, acovado, aloe vera, ceramides g3.. i only bought one shampoo (ceramides) and one masque (aloe vera). i don't even know if i bought the right things. lol i was just looking for the name..
i'm gonna finish skimming through this thread, then head back up there. i left a lot and, apparently, i shouldn't have. lol
eta: i've never used skala before... i was actually looking for something moisturizing for my bro, he's always coming to me talking about how dry his hair is. i don't really fuss with my hair much anymore... but i'd like to see how they work on him.

Just remember that each of the product lines has a specific purpose, so try to purchase those that address the issues you may have with your hair. Also, clarify your hair before you use it for the first time. Looks like you purchased the most sought after lines. Finish reading the thread and remember we are here if you have any questions. HHG!

I did a quick read on the 'net for expired hair products. Usually products lose their effectiveness after 3 years. I cannot recommend using them to you. Perhaps you can call the BL where they were purchased from and explain the situation. Maybe they can give you a store credit. Make them understand the products were expired when purchased. I'm sorry this has happened to you. BL should have pulled those expired products.

Ok. So I thought I'd post on the thread that made me join LHCF. lol. My little Skala haul seems to be growing slowly daily.
I'm in LOVE with the Ceramides. It made my hair so soft and shiny and it felt unbelievably strong! The Ceramides masque was even better! It made my new growth pop like I've never seen before. Definitely can't wait to try this one as a full natural.
The Shea butter gave me the most slip I've ever had in the world! My hair felt like butter when I first put it on. I then \ sprayed Aphogee Keratin restructurizer and put on a cap and let it sit over night. When I washed out the masque the next day I thought somebody replaced my hair with silk. I thought I had over conditioned, but when I washed it out, it felt so soft and strong. I dont know if aphogee had anything to do with that, but I will be doing that again.
Aloe Vera masque was just ok for me. After I finish the 3 masques I have I probably won't be repurchasing. I still haven't tried the fruit cocktail, but I will next time I deep condition.

Welcome to the Skala Nation! Awesome review! The G3 had to grow on me, but I love it. And as everyone in this thread knows, SB is my baby. I LOVE the leave in! AV is a really good detangler. Have you used it this way? FC is okay for most of us - I use it as a base for my DC and mix other things with it. Don't forget to give us your review for FC! HHG!!

Ahh love the Skala - I have been using for just about couple of weeks. I have been really happy with the results so far - I used the C3 line Sunday - hair was very moisturized - still shedding few breaks ( i still have some splits in my natural hair ). Prior to that I alternated conditioners - I used Avocado and C3 together and used a shampoo bar. Yesterday I decided to clarify - I used Giovanni Clarifying poo - then I used the C3 conditioner and Avocado together - also the C3 leave in - going through my wet hair was verrrryy easy - I still have a wacky section to detangle but I am hoping over time that goes away as well as my splits. I had no breaks just a few shed hairs! This morning I took out my braids - hair super soft! Right now super soft and just awesome - I did do some finger combing to get out some shed hairs - noticed no breaks on the sink at all. I really think Skala is it! I am so glad I decided to read this thread!

So tonight I used the chocolate mask as a cowash. Can we say Slip city
and unbelievable softness 
. I can tell this is going to work wonders on my NG as a DC under the steamer (just talking about this makes me excited 
)this is my favorite by far I can NOT wait until I'm 100% natural to use these products.
So far I have used the following: Chocolate, Ceramides, Avocado, S.O.S emergency, and Shea butter (and I love them all)

sooo... i went back to big lots today and got 2 fruit cocktail masks, 2 more aloe vera masks, 2 more aloe vera conditioners, 2 more ceramides conditioners, and 2 more ceramides shampoos. i didn't want to get the shampoos, because i don't shampoo that often. there's a boatload of the ceramides g3 condish & shampoo left. i wonder if that one is any good .. haven't tried it yet.
