mkd & Brownie--It wasn't Fab's sale that pulled me in. Nouvelle has some Afroveda for sale. I had just bought some Cassia from her and resisted her Afroveda. Then BF came and I was going back & forth about Afroveda's sale. Decided not to get anything then lost my mind and sent her a pm.

Shay, I thought you were talking about the sale with Afroveda, oyin, Qhemet and shescentit. She sold everything by the time I got over there.
 
Poranges wanted to know about sheanmore, too. Here's what I sent her:

i haven't used it yet, but based on texture and color alone, i definitely prefer buttersnbars. sheanmore has GREAT prices, the BEST, but it's definitely more gritty than BNB (which is ridiculously creamy).

BNB is more of a light, creamy off-white, where SNM is a "dirty" white and darker, like sand almost.

BNB cost about two times more than SNM, but it's still a good price and what i LOVE is that the shea butter is CONSISTENT. i've had about 4 different kinds of shea butter, each different from the last, but i just ordered 5 more lbs from BNB (btw, i ordered both on the same day and they both arrived the same day) and each container is the same color and smooth, creamy consistency.

i also ordered some avocado butter and coconut oil from SNM, and a hair masque and sample of some face souffle from BNB. both companies have great customer service, but i am a BNB fiend for life.

I have used it since then and it's a lot grittier than BNB, which has no grit at all.
 
I attempted to flat-twist my hair yesterday and it ended up looking like this :(

Bwahaha. :lachen:

I am loving my finger coils. Char, we if met today you'd have asked me WTH was going on with my head, because I only coiled the front. :lachen:
 
Nope. I part my hair, wet & apply gel, then literally just twist a small section around my finger. It's tedious, but you can do it quickly.

And I just break the coils apart & wash when I want to take them out.

Hmmmm, I'll youtube it.

I tried flat-twisting using the youtube video's you gave me as a reference. It sure looks easy.........
 
I know you can do coils with a comb or fingers. I prefer my fingers because it looks curlier and is easier.. The comb is too uniform for me.

And flat twisting is def tricky. It's a bit harder than you'd think.

You have alot of good stuff but your always consistant on how you buy and what you use. You have a method to the madness.:yep: If i have to be a pj i want to be the kind you are. Stock up on staples and try new things every now and then. That's not so bad. But first i have to stick to what i like.
Click to expand...

Shay: I Totally Agree with La on this One!:grin:

Basically you Stock Up on the things you use regularly in Large Quanitities and then You kinda 'splurge' on other things.:yep:
 
I was thinking about this today at Work:look::

Maybe the Bi-Annual Big Haul(s) SHOULD BE the Things that work for your Hair in the Spring/Summer and then The Things that your Hair thrives on Fall/Winter. Those would be Your 2 Stock Ups.

In Between, would be those small staple purchases of things you run out of, but use regularly.:look:

Just a Random thought, as I try to Reel In My Purchasing Habits.
 
Ya'll.......I'm thinking about doing my Hair tonight (actually right now) instead of waiting until tomorrow.:look:

I Need to re-apply this Indigo. And if I do it now I can leave it on a coupla' hours while it is still 'early'.

Will let you all know if I use up anything. Hopefully, I will.:rolleyes:
 
my CURLS products came in the mail today. can you say excited. and they came me a sample of the coconut conditioner. i used it up and i like it. i did a w&g using the milkshake and souffle(which i am now in love with) and the ge-le-c(or however they spell it). then i slicked my hair back using the goddess glaze. i am loving all these products. my hair looks huge today and i freaking love that.
i dont wanna keep doing w&g this week though so tonight im going to braid my hair for a braid out tomorrow using CURLS qhenched moisturizer and CURLS souffle.

today i used up the sample of curls coconut sublime conditioner and the rest of my giovanni deeper moisture conditioner(man this stuff goes fast).
 
Im almost done with my herbal hairdressing and I told myself that I WASNT going to purchase anything else but, I have a pomade coming in the mail soon :(. I also want to purchase two more things since I KNOW they work well with my hair. this pj addiction just doesnt end.

Which 2 are you getting? You've been really liking the Njoi Creations (sp) right? IK Brownie likes those too.:yep:

:lick::lick: @Bolded.
 
mkd said:
Charz and Che, do you twist on wet or dry hair?
Click to expand...
i prefer to do them on damp to dry hair. because my hair is bigger that way. wet shrinks up too much for me.
what i usually do is put in my leave in and a butter or oil, then wrap my hair in my micro fiber towel for no more than 15 minutes. by that time my hair is almost fully dry and i start twisting/braiding.
 
you know me so well. I will be ordering the ayurvedic butter and the herbal hair dressing as soon as she puts them on her etsy site. brownie ordered the pomade and convinced me to purchase it. its on the way.
