So I tried Skala. They only had G3 conditioner and FC mask at my local Big Lots. So I tried the G3 and it was ok, I had more shine but not enough moisture.
I drove like 45 minutes to check out some more BL and I only got 1 Aloe Vera from the 3 I went to
. I loved the AV because it gave a lot of slip but when it dried it wasn't as soft as I thought it would be.
Then i discovered they had AV, SB, and Avocado shampoo and conditioner at my local Sweetbay but they were 4.99 so I just bought 1 Avocado condish (i'm a broke college student lol). OMG I love the Avocado!!!!!!! my hair feels amazing. It gives me amazing slip and it dries soft and moisturized. It's been my cowash ever since I got it
I think I'm going to get the FC mask to try. I definitely want more Skala
Oh and I did not clarify before the AV so I'm going to do that next time

@Loveisnthehouse, I know exactly what you mean. The Aloe Line is by far my favorite now. I don't use the leave-in with every wash, half the time it's really not needed!

The A.V. is a mean detangler! For me, it is excellent for just that purpose. I use a leave in out of habit, but if you leave a little bit of conditioner in the hair after the final rinse, it probably has the same effect/result.

I think I am going to stock up on the aloe masque. I still have the G3 shampoo and conditioner and the fruit cocktail masque to try as well!

I've thought about doing this since I'm on my last bottle of leave-in and I'm using it sparingly...I'll give it a shot with my next wash, which will either be this evening or tomorrow. I'm feeling lazy...

I compared the AV leave in with the conditioner.The difference is that the con has petrolatum and the leave in does not. I sacrificed some and squirted it on the bathroom counter. It looks and feels the same. Try using the con as a leave in. Can't hurt, can it?

No haven't received a response from her yet. I wasn't thinking about the 6 hour time difference. She sent that email at 4 this mornin and I waited until my lunch to respond. I'm sure she had left the office. Will let you know soon as I do!
Maybe adding some distilled water to the conditioner will help to use it as a leave-in. I have done this in the past with conditioners, about 1:3 ratio (conditioner:distilled water) when I needed a leave-in. FB, I have been checking that BL and they have not restocked since I cleaned them out. Sorry

Just co-washed with the shea butter conditioner (I noticed extremely soft hair once I stepped out of the shower; definitely a keeper) and followed up with a jaborandi leave-in (not skala) I just purchased from my local brazilian shop. I cant wait to see how my hair turns out in the morning.
ETA: Ok here is the finished product. I'm not sure if it was the skala SB condish or the new leave in, but my NG only pops up and looks so moist like that when I baggy. Brazilian products are an A++ in my book.

Update here: This a.m.
I pre-poo'd with the Shea Butter Mask.
I followed it with the Shea Butter Leave=in.
My hair too was so soft and the ends did not frizz at all.
Nothing has ever been so good to my hair. There was hardly any in the sink vs. before this Skala.
Now I really will be on the hunt for more of this stuff.

Great advice, Choctaw! *giggles at the idea of making a Jaborandi leave in"

I've been doing this for a few weeks with the SB conditioner - putting 1/4 cup in a spray bottle with 10oz of water and a few Tbsps. of Hot 6 oil - for a nice leave-in conditioner (my Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner is in the closet pouting).

Why can't we have such good "American" products. It just seems like a lot of stuff is from abroad.
ITA! I'm gone see what's up with this s&h and let you ladies know. I really want to try this chocolate and keratin mask!

It was purely divine- and I would have never thought of that combo had you not posted about it. My hair was so soft and shiny- and once again, I detangled so easily and just lost a few hairs.

I have to show you guys something....my dh made a comment that it seems like since I have been using that Shala stuff (yep he said Shala, not a typo) that it seems like my hair is growing faster and thicker....so in excitement I decided to wash my hair and do exactly what I did the 1st time I posted my pics of right after using Skala (wet hair)...not sure how long ago it was maybe 3 wks when I 1st posted??? First Born will know she is good and that stuff...lol
But what do you think??? Tell the truth...Only in our imagination or what

Thank you!!!
Well if nothing else it is working in my mind....looks like I'm about to make a G3 BL Road trip.....It is the only thing I have been using...the conditioner and Leave In...and I clarify 1x a week with Giovanna 50/50 Clarifying Shampoo

is it working for you clarifying every week? I was thinking about doing mine every 2 weeks instead of every 4 and I didn't know if that would be too much clarifying or not.

Yes it makes all the difference for my hair.....because the products do seem to build up quicker than the other products I used to use....I think because it is much thicker....But I do it every 7 to 10 days...depending on how many times I co-washed that week....and I love the Giovanni Clarifying and the KC Come Clean they don't seem to dry my hair out and make them as hard as a lot of other poos seem too....and I mix a little of the leave in conditioner in with the shampoo just for my own crazy thinking....but it seems to make my hair feel better and not to completely stripped of everyting

Don't worry about it Choc you have done enough already. I will take you and Americkas advice and make my own.
Tish, girl your curls are sick!!! I just want to squeeze one and see what happens. They look so plump and juicetified. It does look like your hair has grown and gotten fuller and to the bolded yup it was around 3wks

Ok, now that you've said something, I don't feel like I'm imagining things. Before I started using Skala, I measured my hair and it was 3.5 inches. I swear when I measured my hair 3 weeks later, it was 4.5 inches and fuller. I thought I was imagining things but I measured it 3 times and it was really 1 inch in less than a month!!!! I was reluctant to say anything cos it seemed impossible. Seriously, what the heck is in this stuff? The listed ingredients are nothing extraordinary. Usually my hair grows faster in summer but an inch in 3 weeks
