It was 20 here today which was actually a relief, its supposed to snow again and im not looking forward to it.

Where's t at, she's probably sleep .

 

[chebaby]

its gonna snow here too this weekend. urrgggg

i thought i saw T in another thread. im surprised she hasnt stopped in.

Che, do you always buy shea butter locally? I saw you say that shea from coastal scents was terrible.

BJ accommodated my request on BF to purchase Step 1 separately from her Methi Sativa Protein Set. Usually you have to buy Step 1 and Step 2 both together, but my hair is sensitive to Aloe Vera, which is the base for Step 2.

However, I had initially asked for Step 2 of the Methi Sativa System by mistake when I wanted Step 1. I informed Hairveda of my mistake right after I made my order on BF and they offered to accommodate for my error. Well I got my package today and I got Step 2.

I knew it was an error on my part so I asked BJ if I could pay to ship Step 2 back to her, and if she could send Step 1 with my back ordered goody bag.

She told me to keep the Step 2 and that she would have Step 1 out to me by Saturday.

That is good customer service Charz. How did your hair react to afroveda since all the butters are aloe vera based?

mkd, i only get my shea locally if for some reason i cant order online. but i love the online vendors because they all have the tan shea butter. locally they are all yellow shea.
coastal scents shea butter was so bad lol. it was creamy but very very greasy and just sat on top of my hair. thats why i say all shea isnt the same even if they are both unrefined.
my fave shea butter is from www.texasnaturalsupply.com

Which shea do you like better, yellow or tan? The shea i got from peaceloveandsunshine is a light yellow and its the bomb.

Wha Up Peeps?

I had to catch up on Y & R for the week

Today was my Last Day! I am officially off until Jan 4th Holla!

I don't have to tell ya'll how happy I am.

I guess I can get an early start on my hair. I could do it in the morning.

It's suppose to SNOW

I am really looking forward to the 2010 DC Challenge. Although I DC Weekly now anyway.

I was trying to decide if I should up my DC'ing to twice a week, but I don't think I am.

 

[mkd]

I like the off white shea better. I can only find the yellow locally too. I was thinking about ordering from shea and more but Robot said it was just all right. I wanted to try butters and bars but I need to order from somewhere that carries both shea and avocado to cut shipping costs.

 

[mkd]

Hi T, you are lucky that is a great break. I only get christmas eve, christmas day and new years day off. I think I am going to take some time off the week after Christmas though.

 

[fattyfatfat]

my hairveda and shescentit should be here by Saturday or Monday!!!!

Yeah, IK!

Have you tried the Moist 24/7? I got that too.

I think it will make a Great Co-Wash Conditioner.

It's Going to be So On for this DC Challenge!

I'm excited! I got the Steamer and the Heat Cap all Ready to Go!

Let Alone 50 Million Deep Conditioners At least I won't have to run out and buy any.

 

[fattyfatfat]

[IDareT'sHair]

I Just Got Finished Massaging in some JBCO. I think this is really going to help me ward off and combat any 'unforeseen' dryness and/or itchy scalp.

Well, this was the last day really for the Wig.

Not Sure, if I will wear it when I run out for errands. Prolly, cause it's so cold it make you want to somebody

But, I am so Impressed by the Antifungal and Antiseptic Properties in JBCO.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ms T, after tomorrow Im off of work until the 28th!!!!

That's a Nice Break Too WnS!

I've always taken the 'bulk' of my vacation time off during this time of the year.erplexed

I'm not really a "Summer" Person, so I can work straight through the Summer months, but I hate getting out in the Winter.

@1st Bolded: Yes, You Really Should. And Get a Mastex. You can get one for no more than $25.00

@2nd Bolded: Probably more like 2-3 Years. And You made an excellent Point, I don't need another thing.

That is definitely a reality check. Hopefully, next year, you'll be dropping some helpful pointers to at least help me (stay on track).

Because, I refuse to spend such an inordinate amount of money on Hair Products Next Year (like I did this year). Ain't Happening.

So, Imma chalk 2009 up to that Newbie experience, Self Discovery, becoming a DIY and all that Jazz and KIM.

I will do better next year. It's a Must.

That is good customer service Charz. How did your hair react to afroveda since all the butters are aloe vera based?

I had to use small amounts and not put them on my ends. For slicking back they were great, especially the PUR and CC. I wasn't keen on the other smells. But they made my hair a little crispy if I put it through my hair or in large amounts.

They work great for keep twist styles looking good.

girl, but my beloved butters-n-bars had avocado butter, i'd go crazy!

but go ahead and try the shea-n-more. it's not bad, just not as good as others. it's a bit gritty, even after being whipped, but i'm sure melting would help with that.

 

[robot.]

so my SIL has a friend who just opened her own hair care company... and i'm gonna email her for samples so i can review.

Me too at the bolded. I haven't used it on my scalp this week only the ends because i forgot. And my scalp is just fine, my dc had it in there so at least my scalp got some.

 

[Shay72]

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).
