I read somewhere here that they don't make the Jab leave in...but I found it on this link (different page) that kaykaybobay gave us: http://www.sannas.jp/main/en/cosmetics/hair-care/cream.html
Skala Hair Products.

It's not offered on Skala's U.S. website. Someone else posted this link some weeks ago. Once you do the conversion from yen to dollars and throw in the shipping, the cost is high. Very high!

ohh I like the skala receipe idea...
It might be helpful to include whether your hair is natural, transitioning or relaxed. Its possible for identical hair types to have different results based on whether hair was clarified, air or heat dried, etc ...
I have had good results using info from alot of ladies including Firstborn2, Sareca and Nonie. I have never relaxed natural hair type 4. FB turned me onto Skala, I read Sareca's posts about oil rinsing and learned about benefits of ACV from Nonie. We don't have identical texture, length etc. but their comments contained enough details for me to choose options that worked for my hair.

Just as I was moping that my local BL are just about all out of Skala, my Nana jumps to the rescue! I was talking to her earlier in the week about how bummed I was that I was going to have to go on a Skala hunt. Well, she called me not to long ago to tell me that she stopped by the BL near her stylist to look for my Skala and they had it! She picked up 8 bottles total from that store including Avocado! Then an hour later, she calls me to tell me that she went across town to a second BL and picked up 22 more skala products. More Avocado poo and condish, jabba jabba, ceremide, and aloe. Nana's are awesome! I just hope she can ship it all to me ok. Seems like the ladies in Louisana are sleeping on the Skala. Oh well, their loss is my gain.

You have offered some excellent points, as usual! Are we talking about questions along these lines?
1. Texture - Are you natural, transitioning or relaxed?
2. Did you clarify prior to the application of your mix?
3. Skala mix - what products did you use in your mix as well as the amount used?
4. Did you use a leave in? If so, what kind?
5. Did you airdry or blow dry? Rollerset or flatiron? Or some other style choice?

I agree. I checked just before seeing this post now.
I did not know this before.
The day it was posted, we were on HIGH SKALA ALERT! High Fiving and everythang - until we did the math. I think I cried myself to sleep that night.
erplexedT__T So I went to my local BL SUPER excited.. Absolutely no skala anywhere... and I don't drive. I may have to order it off the internet... I really don't want to pay so much more though :/
If anyone close to CT would be willing to purchase it on my behalf and ship it to me, I have paypal :] It just seems like such a good set of products..

Have you checked the exchange forum? There is a Skala Swap thread on there. Post your offer on there also!

As I said in my previous post, I'm a Skala newbie. Here's my first Skala review.
Ceramides G3 Conditioner
1. Texture - Are you natural, transitioning or relaxed? Texlaxed
2. Did you clarify prior to the application of your mix? I clarified (Thanks Americka!) with Suave Clarifying Shampoo. I had forgotten my feels pretty stripped with clarifying shampoos. Next time I'll do ACV or just a co-wash
3. Skala mix - what products did you use in your mix as well as the amount used? Ceramides G3 Conditioner
4. Did you use a leave in? If so, what kind? No leave in.
5. Did you airdry or blow dry? Rollerset or flatiron? Or some other style choice? In the process of airdrying. It's about 80% dry now so I'll probably be bunning it up shortly.
I usually like more slip with my conditioners but this did a great job of detangling!! Now that my hair is drying it really feels soft! This is a softness I usually only get when I've had MAJOR slip while rinsing. I may forget about the bun and just air dry with it out!
LOL, I just realized I've run my hands through it during the entire time I've been writing this post! Umm.....this is a definite keeper!
I think I'll try the Fruit Cocktail on my next co-wash, I'm totally souped now!

Awesome review and cute pics, Valarie1! Very thorough! So you are going to co-wash with the FC masque? I can't wait for that review - I've never co-washed with it, only DC'd. Thanks!
ETA: I think clarifying is very important when using Skala for the first time. Glad I could help!

I am almost finished with my first bottle of Skala conditioner. It's quite addictive and I am afraid to buy more. I am going to probably buy the ceramides conditioner next but who am I kidding? I have 5 other conditioners to get rid of before buying Skala again. The conditioner is quite addictive and I really need to be careful. I am just trying to pace myself with my buying purchases.
Did you get lost? You do know this is the Skala thread, right? Lol, girl I'm just messing with you.
Those Indian powders will surely do it! I use to use them and they murdered my drain. Speaking of which my drain is running slower since using Skala...I have had to unclog it twice. This has never happened from just using regular cons.

^^ Word that Skala will clog the drain for sure!!!
But the Baking soda and boiling hot water....somebody should have told me this earlier...it works like a Old Folks Remedies charm!!! It is running back as normal.....with a swish
Will be doing this once every couple weeks since BC is so cheap

I've been doing my Wash n' Go's for the summer and I've gotten really lazy with the DC's. I've got to admit something though.....I'm soooo tempted to add some of my Indian powders to the mix.
Any thoughts? Anyone?

I've add SAA, Panthenol, Macadamia Nut oil, Sunflower Oil to cons and DCs. I add honey to my protein treatments.

You've added these to the Skala products?

Yup! To the DCs, primarily. My favorite mix is Skala FC masque, Jaborandi con, macadamia nut oil and vitamin e.

That's the thing! I can't find the masque locally and I'm trying to cut back on products I have to order online. S&H is killing me!

Hi ladies so I used the G3 for the second time yesterday and my ng is popping and the coils are defined not to mention soft too.
Here's what I did:
I did a protein treatment with aphogee two step
DC overnight with a mixture of DC with Lustrasilk cholesterol plus being the main ingredient
Rinsed that off and applied the G3 con and a little bit of the mask.
My hair is so light and bouncy (I did a flexirod set with about 10 jumbo rods). The GS is indeed a keeper. I just need to get my hands on the others so tat I can mix and go crazy with Skala!!

Try your mix without the masque. Don't spend any money unnecessarily. A couple of the ladies stated that the difference between the con and masque is the amount of water. So try it with a con first and when the masques are available, try it with those. Don't make yourself sick with this!

I'm already sick wit it by the way! I have about 20 g3 cons and 5 Jaborinis and by the way, thanks for the advice about calling the BL to exchange the expired avocados and shea cons. One location gave me a problem, I just called another one and the manager told me to bring them in. Said they didn't know they had exp dates and pulled some others that were exp off the shelves as well!
Americka

Well, use the G3 and Jaborandi for your DC mixture. What kind(s) of oils do you have? That is great that BL will take them back. They certainly don't want to be liable for damages as a result of selling expired items.

I have grapeseed & evoo. I also have some raw organic honey, aloe vera gel and just reordered my wheat protein, silk protein and oat protein ( firt time ordering)
