Happy April 1st, ladies!

Steaming right now with Pura's Brazil Loc Oil.

 

[nichelle02]

My steamer broke last night! The water started pouring heavily into the little drain cup. I removed the water supply container and noticed the rubber gasket had broken and fallen into the container.

I'm so disappointed. I'm going to look for my purchase information. If I can't find it, I'll need to buy a new one.

 

[kittenz]

nichelle02 That sucks! You maybe able to replace the rubber gasket yourself if you have to. Just take the broken one to Home Depot/Lowe's and see if they carry it. GL!

 

[nichelle02]

@nichelle02 That sucks! You maybe able to replace the rubber gasket yourself if you have to. Just take the broken one to Home Depot/Lowe's and see if they carry it. GL!

kittenz you know that's a good idea. The gasket fell into the container so it will take some work to get it out. But I'm going to give it a try. That has *got* to be better than buying a new one.

 

[NappyNelle]

nichelle02 I hope you can fix it!

Speaking of broken steamers, I fell and broke one of the legs of my steamer! It still balances and works fine, but maybe I can get my stepfather to glue it back or something. I was so mad.

I'm still under the steamer now; I pre-pooed with coconut oil, added AO GPB, steamed, then added AO HSR, and I'm steaming again. Usually, I will shampoo between conditioners, but I was feeling lazy today. LOL

Great thanks !

This and the Castor Earl challenge are the only two I am indulging in.

[IDareT'sHair]

Steaming tonight with Silk Dreams Mocha Silk

 

[tiffers]

IDareT'sHair Oooh, yay! Isn't the texture delicious? I love how creamy it is.

You gotta let me know what you think after rinsing it out!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

tiffers

Hey, did you use/try Purabody Naturals Chocolate Hair Smoothie? I'm tryna' find somebody who has used/tried them both.

Upon 1st instinct, it totally reminds me of PBN. The smell, the application, the absorbency and the consistency.

If you've used them both, give me a shout out on how you think they compare and/or are similar.

Right now, I'd hafta' pull PBN back out (maybe next wash day) to see for myself.

What do you think?

 

[lushlady]

This is right on time for me. My hair responds well to steaming. I plan to steam at least twice a month. I will use the steamer I got from LCL beauty. I am in the process of changing my conditioners. I just tried the silk elements from sally's, but it was just okay to me.

 

[tiffers]

IDareT'sHair See, you bout to make me steam with each conditioner on both sides of my head! #needsanexcusetosteam



From what I can remember, I wasn't too wowed by the Chocolate Smoothie's performance or texture. But I haven't used it enough to give it a fair shot.

I only used Mocha Silk Infusion on a little area in my head, but I liked how it made my hair feel...

IDK, T, I think Imma steam with both of them. Raght nah.
