You haven't found any at all? Are you looking for the Ceramides G3 in particular?

None! I just went to another BL this morning and there wasn't a darn bottle of Skala on the shelf. I was looking for a basic condish and masque treatment. I guess I'm good for now because I still have vials of my Cera-Repair. I can just add that to my Aubrey's.

Did you ask if it is a product that particular story usually carries? I would ask that question and if the answer is yes, then I would ask when do they usually get shipments of the product. Also, watch the exchange thread. Never know when some will pop up there!

I just slid in next to her and loaded up my basket. I initally left one of each, but then she walked away and I took the rest. She was speaking in a different language, but I am pretty sure she was telling her hubby something about me...Should have been quicker.

:lachen::lachen::lachen: Love it! I wish I could've been there. They would have been talking about me too because I would've been laughing at you sliding in there cleaning it out before she could make up her mind. That's how you do it! :yep:

Has anyone co-washed with the Skala products? If so, what were the results?

I co-washed with the Shea Butter conditioner on Friday night. Slipilicious and softness! *knock on wood* I've never had a bad experience co-washing with Skala. I've tried the SB, AV, Jaborandi, and Avocado and all of them are great for co-washing!
 
Would the petroleum matter? I know it cannot penetrate the hair shaft, so if you wash it out, the amount left on the hair should be minimum, right??

I'll be basically co-washing with it, but definitely will watch my hair for 'potential' build-up and clarify accordingly.

I clarify anyway as a 'rule' every 4-8 weeks.:yep:

ITA! I haven't noticed any additional build-up plus I shampoo at least once week. It is hardly the only product in my stash with petroleum as an ingredient. Shoot, I'm 37 years old. I remember when petroleum jelly was all that was put in my hair on wash day. :yep:

I thought it would basically seal the shaft, so nothing else would get in.

that's a good point. I'll just keep an eye out.

I just wanted to know what others thought. Thanks!

I went back and got
2 Aloe leave-ins
2 Aloe Masks
6 C3 leave-ims
5 C3 masks
4 Shea Leave-ins
4 Shea Masks

I didnt pick up any more condishes...I have so many unused condishes now, I just couldn't. I left some of the Aloe masks/leave-ins that they had, aloe doesn't always agree with my hair.

When I got there there was a lady touching everything and putting it back, not able to make up her mind...I just slid in next to her and loaded up my basket. I initally left one of each, but then she walked away and I took the rest. She was speaking in a different language, but I am pretty sure she was telling her hubby something about me...Should have been quicker.

Are these products being used only for cowashing, or are any of these masques viable deep conditioners? Are they protein laden? How are the shampoos?


...and the leave-ins?

I bought:
2 Ceramides condish
1 Shea Butter condish
1 Fruit cocktail masque

They had a few more and now that I tried the Ceramides and loved it...I will wreck shop on the rest of the stash and hitting up another BL to see if they have the mask. Though just adding the Condish to my DC was FANTABULOUS!!
 
Man, I am working in San Diego this week and I 'bout caused a wreck! I saw a Big Lots right off the freeway!

But, I controlled myself and continued my trek on into work. I will be hitting BLs up when I get off though. :look:
 
So....I'm in between meetings today....why did I end up back at BL's???..:look:

Looking for more G3!:nono:

I picked up the last 2 bottles.:look:

I wanna know too. I already have the Aloe mask, the Jaborani conditioner and the Aloe leave in, but haven't used them yet...just give me a reason to hit up BL for more...I'm WAY in Oklahoma, and I know there's an untouched gold mine of Skala just waiting for me!:grin:

Each line, except for Fruit Cocktail and Lissative, has a shampoo, conditioner, masque/dc, and a leave in. Lissative has no leave in and FC is only the leave in.

The conditioners can be used strictly for co-washing (as several including myself have done so) or in the normal shampoo, conditioner, and dc regimen.

I consider the masques to be viable deep conditioners. The instructions suggest to wrap a hot towel or use a heat cap for 15 minutes with the masque. I always have incredible slip and moisture with their masques.

I'm not sure how much protein are in the masques. I can try and research this for you, if you would like.

I have used only three of the shampoos - Shea Butter, Jaborandi, and Ceramides G3. The SB and Jaborandi , IMO, are very moisturizing poos. The Cermides G3 not so much.

I have used the Shea Butter, Aloe Vera and Cermides G3 leave ins. I prefer the SB to all of them. A long term Skala user, adw425 loves to mix the SB with AV. I haven't used Ceramides G3 long enough to give a specific review. I can, however, recommend the SB or the AV. They are good!

HTH!
