Skala Hair Products.

I know you're all tired of my reviews by now but I can't help myself so here goes another epistle!!!

I'm currently in a weave. I prepooed my leave out hair with shea butter overnight on Friday. When I rinsed out my hair was very soft and curls were quite springy and moisturised. Prior to prepooing, my hair was extraordinarily dry. Afterwards I did a protein treatment for half an hour with Giovanni xtreme protein, rinsed out, washed with a sulfate free shampoo and then DCd with avocado masque mixed with EVCO. When my hair was dry, I added a dab of bodyshop anti-frizz heat protectant, blowdried and flat ironed. My hair was amazingly silky. I have 4b hair I think. It was so silky, I got a little scared that I'd done some damage. Sweat from 2 hours in the gym tonight erased that erroneous thought from my head however:rolleyes:.

I was hesitant about trying the SB cos overall, people didn't seem to like it but I had used lustrasilk shea butter cholesterol to DC a couple of times and the results were lovely so I figured I'd just give it a go. So far, my No 1 is avocado, followed by chocolate, then SB. The keratin reduces shedding dramatically and I like it but it's never gonna overthrow my avocado and chocolate. Haven't tried the jabosomething yet and can't find G3 anywhere :cry:.

Will post pics of current haul tomorrow.



 
OK Amerika. I did what you suggested and mixed up some stuff in the Jaborini con. DC with heat for about 30 minutes and left it on for a couple of hours. I am 5 weeks post and my hair melted like butter when I rinsed. Ok I had to mix something with it, but it's fine! Loving the results!
 
I have been cowashing with G3 almost daily for almost 3 weeks now. I even cowash with it after I DC. I've noticed that some of the strands of hair have started to actually become thicker. If i roll one of my shed hairs between my fingers, I can almost "hear" it. I thought my hair felt stronger, but now I'm actually seeing it. I did a search on ceramides and other people have had the same results with gaining stronger, shinier, thicker strands of hair. I'm LOVING this!

Awesome! Just make sure you know what you've mixed together in case you have a problem.

So far so good. I did just as I did with the G3 and knocked under the drier to knock most of the water out, then let it air dry. I haven't applied direct heat to my hair since I've been using skala products. Thinking I'm gone get me a trim and see what type of progress I have by the end of the year!

I use the G3 condish & leave-in 3-4 times a week and my hair is 100% getting thicker and I didn't think that was possible
 
So it's been weeks since I've bought any, which is why I'm asking, but is Big Lots still selling these for a dollar?

I'm in love with the G3, Aloe Vera masque, and the Jaborandi, and I've already finished a bottle of the G3 and a jar of Aloe Vera..... :o
 
Hey Skala-Heads!:kiss:

So, I'm sitting here with the Ceramides G3 Masque on (my experimental substitution for Matrix Biolage Ceramides). Imma a First Time Recruit!:look:

First of all, it has a very pleasant smell. And I love the consistency, especially since I just DC'ed and I plan to use the G3 as a final rinse before I apply my PC (so I didn't want anything too,too thick:grin:).

Will wash it out soon and dry under dryer.

:scratchchIK I will have to give it a couple weeks to see exactly how it works in this capacity.....

but so far so good.:thumbsup:
 
Tried the skala extra lisos and I did not like it at all :nono: It actually made my hair hard as I slathered it on and detangling was not a breeze (my giovanni 50:50 did a better job), so I will not be trying this again.
 
Okay, I'm looking for anything from the Chocolate or Keratin lines. Please PM me if you can hook me up! Thanks

Oh, tonight I'm going to pre-poo jabablablah and see if my hair likes it. I'll report back when I rinse it out...

Now see....My hair LOVED the extra lisos:lachen:- if that was the only one I could have I would be happy. It is so funny how everyone's hair is so different.

Oh no that's the one I have. I haven't tried it yet because I'm stuck on the Crystal Bath right now but I hope I have good results. Just curious, did you use it after a wash with shampoo? I am finding that my hair is responding to conditioners a lot better after pooing as opposed to days of cowashing. I have upped my pooing with gentle sulfate free poos.

I just went back to mine after about a month just to see if they restocked and they went and put a whole other brand in the spot where Skala use to be! I guess they're done.:ohwell:
 
I'm planning to use the Liso this weekend so hopefully it will work for me.

It is so true how differently these work on different people's hair and even the difference in how the different lines have worked on my own hair. So far I think that my hair loves the aloe vera and likes the avocado. However my hair pretty much hated the Jaborandi.
 
I made sure I clarified w/ giovanni 50:50 before hand becasue I've been cowashing alot lately. I was so hoping this worked for me because you ladies have had great results an I just love skala. I was kinda sad:sad: that my hair didn't like it. I may try it again under the steamer to see if it makes a difference, but if that doesn't work I'm going to give it away.

Did I miss something?
Could someone please tell me what's Liso?

Extra Lisos is a Skala brand that is available in Brazil, as far as I know you can't find Extra Lisos, at Big Lots, Duane Reade or Stop and Shop.

Lisos means smooth in Portuguese- it 's Skala's version of a smoothing conditioner.
 
I used aloe vera for the first time last night...and i'm in love :crying3: even with the glutaral :cry: it has more slip than chocolate :spinning:
I've done my research and i'm pretty sure it's fine used solely as a rinse out agent and i'm only going to use it for detangling so not too often....

I will look out for the glutaral free one though.

I see the Barry White of Skala done slipped up on you girl ... whispering them tangles out your hair, slip slip slipping down your locks ... and begging for you to let him out of that bottle :lachen::lachen::lachen:

^^ LOL i know I only bought the one bottle and then I read up on the glutaral, so I was thinking oh well i'll just use up this one bottle and thats it. How wrong I was...

I have used plenty of hair stuff in the past that I am sure had questionable ingredients but I still have hair on my head. I too have some Skala with the dreaded glutaral but if it is working for me then I am going to keep using it. I feel like it is better for me to use things that are working for me than to try to use something else just because it is organic, all natural, yada yada but leaves my hair a hot mess. A lot of these all natural, organic products just don't work well for my hair.

I almost looked past Skala because of all of the talk about how bad petrolatum is BUT this stuff is working for me!
