Yeah and she always does braidouts, i would like to see more styles on her. I know she loved that butter.
 
my new fave youtuber is splinta24. i just love her videos. she has kinky twists in now but her earlier vids are so good.

Recently I used up:

Vatika frosting...will not be purchasing in the future...regular coconut oil is just fine and dandy.

Giovanni Direct Leave In...HELL NO will not be repurchasing...it left white residue in my hair and made it feel gross...I had to use it as a rinse out conditioner to get rid of it.

I'm thinking about my products for the new year...but my regimen will be the same...wash/condition, leave-in, braid to stretch, wear the braidout however.

Has anyone tried brendita's bodyworks cleansing milks? I'm looking for a gentle cleanser that isn't soap based or shampoo based (and I can't use baking soda or ayurveda herbs). Basically something like v05 clarifying conditioner. The cleansing milk looked like a good alternative but I haven't been able to find any reviews.

I bought the jojoba one .. but have not tried it yet. I also got some DevaCare no poo from BeautyFirst yesterday. And I have to google Arrojo? I bought a ton of this stuff for 75 percent off.. I also got some Alterna something... that was 3... it's like it's an addiction for real. My mom went and sat in the car... like oh here you go with this **** again... :lachen::lachen:

I let her stay out there for a good hour... while I browsed. hefa! :lachen::lachen:
 
I think I found my permanent moisturizers....
I have had this Qhemet sitting in my house for months. I revisited it last night, and hot dang my hair felt good!!! Amla & Olive Heavy Cream is the truth!

Only thing is now I want to try Burdock Root Butter Cream and Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm. A hefa go broke messing with all of y'all man :nono:
 
Oh!! I also decided there is nothing that I want to repurchase from Afroveda.

The butters are disappointing and most stink, the oils are so generic I can make them with my not mixologist self, and the conditioners are so watered down, and the whipped gel or whatever she calls it is make my hair hard and that's really hard to do, not even KCCC makes my hair hard.

Maybe I'll give her one more chance and try the Seven line.

How do you use this cream? Is it heavy... I can't do anything with a heavy product unless it is a DC.. I always turn out looking like a Pimp named Slickback when I get too heavy with the butters/oils/creams.. so I just avoid them....:lachen:

She is really nice; but I bought a HUGE stash last year.. and I put all of it on the Xchange forum... that's how I met my LC...

I have to be careful; because I wear my hair down or curled most of the time so a lot of this stuff is for twistouts/braidsouts/loc'ing or what not and I just can't do anything with it. But I want it since I see everybody else getting it. :blush::perplexed:lachen:

ETA:
Oh and my hurr is having a bomb Xmas. She just got some silk pillowcases, the hamadi is on the way, and now my other LHCF crazy person KSK_XS got me onto this HIGH A$$ Pureology Nanoworks stuff... in beautyfirst the 8 oz bottle is $53!!!! and the con is $60... you know the booshey PJ is me is like why is this soo much.. I couldn't pull the trigger even with the coupon... (its a recession and I should be hit in the head for considering some poo and con that cost that much) so I got the samples.. and they were $15/piece... WTH?...

I plan on using it today to see if it's worth the foolishness.

Fab, the qhemet amla and olive heavy cream is pretty heavy. I wouldn't use it if I was wearing my hair down and straight because my hair is fine and it would look soooooo greasy. I like it a lot for curly hair though.

Thank you girl! Stopped me from making a mistake! I'll have to wait until I cut my texlaxed ends off for this kind of stuff.

It is really thick and heavy, I just use it as a regular moisturizer. My hair soaks it up. If I were still relaxed I'm sure I couldn't use it in my hair.

For Me, Deep Stretching the AOHC is an Absolute "Must" It helps to soothe my NG and Keep it Moisturized. It is a Staple for Deep Stretching, for me 10+ Weeks (for sure).:look:

I enjoy all of Qhemet Products I've tried. The BRBC, OHHB, and the CocoTree Detangling Ghee. These are my "Go To" for Long Term Stretching and NG Control. It Keeps the NG in Check.

They are "keepers":yep:
 
I like the BRBC too but it does not seem to moisturize my hair as much as I would like. I don't think i need both so what I was thinking about doing is using up the AOHC and then purchasing the BRBC and using that jar, then I will choose which one I like better.

Keep Me Posted (as a Relaxed Head) what you find in your Comparisons.:grin:
 
That reminds me to report that I like the BRBC as a leave in. So I will use it and the Alba Botanica leave in mostly during this time of year. My hair is soo soft.
 
Hello everybody! I love the BRBC too; it's a permanent staple. I wanted to like the AOHC (sample) but it was too heavy and kind of sticky for my natural hair.
