In contradiction to what many of the ladies are saying on this thread, I did not have great results with Skala Shea Butter Deep Moisturizing Masque (yellow jar). It left my hair a greasy mess which may be attributed to petrolatum as the second ingredient. My hair hasn't been that greasy since I was relaxed three years ago using Pink Oil Moisturizer. I had to shampoo with sulfates twice to remove all the grease. I will not repurchase anything from that line. I was really disappointed. Did anyone else have this experience?

I haven't used this line...nor have I really used any of the Masque to be honest....I use the G3 conditioner and leave in only right now ..and mostly just the leave in because I am trying to use up a few open bottles of conditioner that I previously had open...but my hair never feels greasy...But I know as a general rule my hair has never responded well to shea butter of any kind

I didn't like the shea butter either, It didn't leave my hair greasy but it just didn't do anything for me. sorry about your bad experience.
 
Okay Ladies.....I'm ready to jump into the Skala Game! I just used up my last Vial of Matrix Biolage Ceramides and will replace it with the G3 Conditioners & Masques.:grin:

That's mostly what I have from this particular line and have been putting off using it until I finished up the Matrix Ceramides. I may have an Avacado Conditioner or 2.:sekret:

So, I'll be using the G3 next wash day, either as a Co-Wash or a Final Rinse before PC (like I was doing with my vials of Matrix) Not sure yet.:perplexed

But I am Officially on Team Skala now:woot: ------ Been enjoying this Thread.

Thanks Ladies for all the Skala tips up in here!:kiss:

Carry On!:thumbsup:
 
Black skala review: warning..long post lol

It was my wash day today and I started off by rinsing off my overnight treatment of yoghurt and aphogee 2 min. This usually leaves my hair feeling abit stripped (probably the protein) I left my hair to dry about 70% then applyed the black skala.

The smell is quite plesant, not as strong as Jarobrandi, I don't particularly like or dislike it. I can't smell it when it's on my hair ALL the time like when using the Jab which is good. The texture had me surprised I haven't quite felt anything like it. It feels like abit like very smooth chocolate mousse (the dessert). like it has been whipped for a very long time. It feels light and kinda foamy yet thick and silky at the same time.

After DCing for an hour with heat (for 20 mins) my hair felt de-li-CIOUS! soft, satiny, silky smooth all these words but I tried to contain my excitement because the real test is how it feels after you rinse it out. It wasn't very easy to detangle with, but to be honest this is quite hard to tell because detangling has been becoming more and more difficult full stop (almost 2 years post).
Upon rinsing my hair felt fantastic, I felt like one of those herbal essences girls, I was running my hands through my hair with no resistance (with mostly natural 4 hair this is not to be taken lightly lol)

Completely rinsed out my hair did feel abit stripped, not shampoo stripped but the silky feeling does rinse off...I didn't really expect it to stay but once I got out and applyed my skala leave in IT WAS BACK almost lol I guess they are designed to work together.

I thought i'd post a pic even though my camara is not very good at all.

I will update how moisturised it leaves my hair when completely dry :drunk:
 
Mixed Choco and SB together today. It looked so DELICIOUS together! Took me a minute not to actually want to taste it. :grin: Will be back with review later.
 
I have both Jaborini & G3. I've used the Jaborinui once and the G3 twice. So far the G3 is my fav. It left my hair strong and I had very little shedding during detangling. I'm going to try the Jaborini again on tomorrow and hopefully it works better for me. I mean it was alright, but I could definitely see and feel the difference between the two.

Thanks for sharing. I did not have a good experience with SB con or masque. It didn't make my hair greasy but like Sapphire Chic said it did nothing for my hair. I found out later they were expired, are yours? Could affect how they work. Also even though I didn't like the masque or con the SB leave in is the BEST. I will not be without it. A lot of us like the G3 or Aloe Vera as well. I don't think you should give up after the first try. They make a variety of products that really do work differently so if you don't find what you want in one line you can jump to another. Maybe the cons aren't for you but the leave ins might work.
 
Hi-

Well I finally used my G3 shampoo in the pink bottle. First I pre-poo'd with amla oil then washed with G3 and the results are fantastic! That combo is a keeper for me.

I still cannot find this product. I've tried many beauty supplys and duane reades in NYC. I'm not having luck find brazilian shops that sell it. Anyone know where I can pick this up in NYC?

I'm still on page 26. Still searching :)

Thanks guys.

Call the Big Lots in Long Island.
 
So the results are in for the SB and Choco Mix.

LOOOOOVE IT! My hair has stayed moisturized ALL day! It smells good. It feels good. Its nice and shiny. I could comb right through my NG. This is an all around winner for me.. I'm not sure if its just the Skala alone that makes my hair look like this but I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing and if Skala is part of that so be it.

What I did.

DC with SB and Choco mix and spritzed with Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea. Leave in for 4 hours.
Rinsed out and cowashed with G3.
Sprayed on my Leave-in concoction - (1/4 PM the Detangler, 1/4 EVOO, 1/4 Milk, 1/4 Water)
Wet Bunned and Air dried.

My hair is SO nice and soft. No tangles or anything. LOVE it! I'm hoping this can get me through my year+ transition smoothly.
 
Miryoku thank you for the review and update. I will definitely be mixing with my next wash on wednesday. SB and Choc does sound delish to bad I don't have any Choc.. :(

I'm saving the SB for last. I have a feeling my hair is going to HATE it. You mentioned the Pink Oil and I remember those days only too well!
 
Hello ladies,

I have made my first official Skala haul......$22.00 worth to be exact. Was able to get products from the G3, Aloe and Fruit Cocktail lines. Got one Shea Butter mask. I am now hoping to get my hands on the avocado and shea butter. I haven't tried this stuff yet, but I hope that it's good!

I have a new Skala success story :)

I Used my G3 Conditioner as a leave in and it worked really well!! Maybe even better than the leave in itself.

All that I did was co wash, rince a little bit out and then apply my ecostyler gel while my hair was wet.

I had perfectly defined curls.

I'm on day 3, it's been rainy and humid and my hair still looks really good!!

I tried this today after your post. I was a bit skeptical because I have never had luck using conditioner under gels but I thought what the hey, but you know...this stuff works really well under ecostyler clear :drunk: like I just ran it through my wet hair, sort of raking it and it looks like I did the shingling method. very clumpy hair :)

So sorry to hear that. I have a weave in now. I used shea butter masque as a prepoo on my leave out hair on Fri and when I washed it out my hair was just lovely. Comb glided through it. Curls looked delicious. So soft. I DCd with avocado masque mixed with EVCO. You should try mixing the masques and/or trying others. Chocolate and Avocado is the truth. Don't give up yet. "The One" for you is just a mix away. Mwah.
