Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

[La Colocha]

Hey Ladies: I crashed earlier.......Now I'm up & wide awake. And I see all the Good Little PJ's are tucked safely away for the night. (Even Shay, da' Night Owl).

Holla Later!

Im always up this time of night. I fell asleep early too, and now im really awake.

I am really loving shea butter right now, on my skin and hair, can a pj sit down now and have 1 moisturizer that does so many things. I don't know but that would save me so much money next year. Ive even started using it on my lips and face. After this miapella is gone im going to challenge myself to use only shea butter as my only moisturizer all over for a month starting monday. From dec 21 to jan 21. Wish me luck.

Shea butter will be a staple for life I love it in my body butters and made a concoction a few months ago with organic VCO, blackseed oil and jojoba oil. It is getting bitterly cold now so I also used this concoction for my face during the month of November When I had my facial last time, the lady said my face was fine and was not congested. One day I changed handbags and forgot my lippy pucker so also used this for my lips.

I am going to continue with the Anita Grant oil until my next facial as it seems rich enough for the drying winter months, I will then go back to using my own concoction. If I have any oil left, I will use it in the spring when it is warmer to see how it works for me then.

I occasionally add shea it to my pre-poo treatments if my hair is feeling very dry and will also use my shea concoctions for my ends if they are feeling dry and crunchy.

My skin just adores shea butter concoctions and my skin is so smooth. It really helped to fade a few scars I got. I'm sure that if I had not started using shea, the scars would be visibile

La, I love shea butter too. I use the same mix on my body and hair.

T, I don't think I am going to buy the blended beauty DC because the one I was thinking about was the one Che said was just ok.

Thanks for sharing rosalind, im glad that your anita oils are working out for you. I know shea is doing me right so far, and its cheap. I will save alot of money using it for all over, if i can just stick to it. I want to start over next year and nip this pj thing in the bud, im going to be all about saving and using up my products.

Umm, why did I get so excited like I was about to be opening my own HV bags.

So, I like the afroveda whipped gelly. I used it to slick back my bun and my baby girl's 2 ponys. I am not going to fool with it to define my curls. I don't want crunchy hair

Thanks girl!

But I doubt I will try Komaza again. The palm derivative that they put in almost all their products wrecks havoc on my hair.

OMG you are so on time with theses words
i braided my hair last night with blended beauty and today my hair sucked. i had already decided that if it didnt work i would stick with shea butter, oyin whipped pudding and shine and define and maybe heavy cream.
really i guess being a natural isnt as easy as i thought this time of year because lately the only thing that keeps my hair moisturized is shea butter and oyin comes in at second place. im thinking about getting rid of everything else(except my summer supply) because they just make me mad and frustrated when i dont get good results.

on another note, i had to co wash my hair today AGAIN. so i did so with the sallys generic paul mitchell the detangler. let me tell yall if you love oyin honey hemp then you will love this. it is amazing. it detangles like a dream and gives amazing moisture. i had to do a w&g puff because i didnt have time to do anything else. i used honey hemp as a leave in followed by jbco and cocasta oil. let it dry a bit and then slathered my hair in shea butter.

i know this is long winded so let me shut up after this lol. but i think my thing with buying moisturizers is that i KNOW shea butter is the best. but when i look at the ingredients in other products and see all the yummyness along with the smells... i just cant help myself.
but after i sale everything or use everything up its just gonna be me, shea butter and oyin against the world lol.

 

[mkd]

Che, are you going to try to make blended beauty work or sell on the exchange forum?

 

[chebaby]

Che, are you going to try to make blended beauty work or sell on the exchange forum?

honestly i dont know. i watched a youtube vid where the lady said she got minimal moisture with the happy nappy styles but when she used it with the silk shake it was love lmao. but i dont wanna have to buy something else to make what i already have work.
and i just knew i would love it because it is very thick just like qhemet heavy cream. it wasnt bad but my hair just felt like there was nothing on it. i dont know if its because i claryfied and i just need to re-build my moisture or if its just not for me.

 

[mkd]

Try it a few more times, maybe you will start to like it better.

To the bolded i truly understand, its hard to resist goodness in a jar. I got the shea idea from you and ive been all over the net comparing prices and such. Shea butter is a very cheap product and it can be used for hair, body, lips, face, shaving, prepoo, add it to dc concoctions. It has an endless list of benefits also. I will still keep my tw mist and elucence but im going to try really hard to make shea butter my go to product for moisture. Off topic but i looked at my curlmart order history and it has the total of how much ive spent for the year of 2009 and it was not pretty. And if i added everything on that ive bought from other places on top of that i could have had a down payment for a brand new car its sickning how much i have wasted on hair products im ready for a new year.

 

[chebaby]

off to look at my curlmart history lmao.

ok i think my dryness could have come from 1 of two things. or both. either the shampoo(kenra, yuck) or the abba reconstructor which i loved but realized its hard core compared to what i usually used.
now this is still a toss up because i have co washed like 3 times and deep conditioned with honey hemp and pre pood and everything else i can think of.

Is your hair better today or is it still dry?

it was dry this morning but i co washed and used lots of jbco, cocasta oil and shea butter so it feels good now.

it just hit me like a ton of bricks. you know what it could be? i stopped drinking water as much as i used to. im going to up my intake(which for the last week has been none).

I know, since ive been off my water intake is low too. I responded in your thread. If at all possible try not to let your hair dry out. And instead of cowashing try to up your dcing and see if that helps. I had a good dc day yesterday my hair drunk it up and was really soft. We have to stay ahead of this cold weather.
