Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

Hi everyone :), hope you all had a good day. I see that I have some posts to catch up on :rolleyes:. Anyway, I just saw the thread about the JCPenny sale...lawd knows I don't need nuffin but it's tempting :ohwell:...
 
I went out and bought the Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier today but I haven't used it yet. I want to wash my hair first to give it the best review possible. I am still wearing braids so maybe that still won't happen until I take them down. I can't wait to try it.

Just Keep Using Stuff Up. And See where it takes you!

It Sounds like you will have alot of Beautiful Products when You End Your Stretch.:grin:
 
Thanks!!!

Thread cut into your cornrow? Wait, what? Is that common?

I think it happens more often than people realize. That's why a lot of people end up with thin hair after a weave. I think it's most likely to happen if you have fine hair and if your hair is on the dry side.

To avoid it, make sure the thread isn't pulled too tight (the tension is the biggest problem). Some people also like to oil their thread (that's what I do when I do my own) so that it's not sucking the moisture out of your hair, since it's cotton. You could also try the nylon thread but I don't know if it's actually a better choice (try hisandher.com, they sell it).
My hair was on the dry side so that could have been a factor as well. The thread was not pulled tight during installation but I did wear my hair in ponytail alot. I switch from the regular weave thread to nylon/upholstery thread but honestly could not tell you if it made a difference. Even though I know better now, I highly doubt that I'll ever do another weave...more out of fear of a set back that anything else. Charz, I think your hair will thrive much better that mines did because you are armed with knowledge.

IK Girl:look:. We Keep It Moving Up in This Piece:lachen:I Do my Hair tomorrow. My Hair Day is usually Friday.

I will be using EVCO for My Hot Oil Treatment. I have 1/4 of a Jar Left, so this is something that I can use up tomorrow.

EVCO will be Good especially based on the fact that the Three Hair Shaft Penetrating Oils are: Coconut, Olive and Avacado.:lick:

Will Definitely replace, AFTER I use up some additional Oils. :rolleyes:
I don't know why I thought yesterday was Friday. I guess it's because I usually did my hair on Thursday nights but this week I did it on a Wednesday night and got my days thrown off from that.

Haha, I'm already having doubts. With all the threads suffocating my hair strands and my hair matting I am kinda scared.
Reiterating .... I think your hair will thrive much better that mines did because you are armed with knowledge on weave maintenance and how to avoid pitfalls.

Girl, that was one old me :giggle: As long as I don't go to the mall this week then I'm good. :grin:
 
ok im gonna purchase a k-cutter comb this weekend.


I love my kcutter for massaging my scalp...it's amazing. I don't use it to comb because it's a little too cumbersome for me...but I can massage my scalp with it all day (I actually do it at night to help me fall asleep).
 
Ya'll Somebody Gon' Hafta' stay up all night with me.

I just put this Henna On. I left work late and messed up my HairPlans.:nono:

I will prolly leave it in until for another hour or so......But then DC, drying, etc......

So....Who Gon' be up late tonight?:look:
 
La: Keep in "Mind" the Soy Butter will probably mimic a Protein and The Almond Butter is Gritty:perplexed.

I traded mine to Che. Not sure how she feels about it.:look: Lastly, Stick with the Plan.:yep:

Thanks t for the info, so maybe just jojoba, and olive. I have plenty of avocado. And thank you for the package.:kiss:

I managed to use up the following:

  • Just for Me Hair Milk Conditioner
  • VO5 Anti-Breakage w/Pantenol
  • Lustrasilk Shea Butter and Mango Cholesterol
  • Palmer's DC Protein Pack
  • ORS Replenishing Pack
  • Pantene Time Renewal Replenishing Mask

Good job lady. You are doing so well, keep it up.


How do you guys deal with waiting for packages? As soon as I confirmed the orders I wanted my stuff to appear instantaneously.

I wanna wash my hair to use some stuff up...but I want my new stuff. And the oyin is going to take a couple weeks to get here...I should have ordered it from curlmart.

Patiently:look:

i havent seen the thread about a shedding session but i have been using my coffee butter and thats suppossed to be good for shedding.

Does coffee butter smell like coffee? and does it make your hair soft?

Good day ladies i will be doing my hair tonight but im tired, so i will prepoo and wash then dc overnight.:yep:

You know i love you girl but i don't know. Im just not worth nothing tonight but i will try to hang. I had to work over so i would not have to go in tommorrow.
 
OMG!!!!
i just got finished watching a badass youtube video about yarn twists and how to do them yourself. so i guess yall know what will be my winter style now lol. im gonna do more research on it because i need to make sure that the hair isnt gonna interfere with my moisture and i need to make sure that it is a great ps. if all goes well then i will be buying the yarn this weekend but i wont do them until probably november 1st or the end of this month.
of course this screws up with me using up products because, not that i wear fake hair much, but when i do i do not wash my hair. that might sound nasty but i would freak out about if my hair is gonna knot up and tangle around the yarn/fake hair. but i would still use up oils and sprays AND i will not be wearing yarn and fake hair all winter long. just long enough for me to keep my hands out of my hair. and by me doing them myself i will not get board and take them out fast because i know im gonna have to dedicate a whole weekend to doing them. when i put them in i will moisturize my hair by deep conditioning first and then adding leave in and shea butter and oil. i will spray the hair with ojon revitalizing mix and on a daily basis spray my hair with the ojon. they will not be left in longer than a month and a half.

La, the coffee butter smel EXACTLY like coffee. i dont drink coffe but if i did i would be sooooo in love with this butter more so than i already am. this butter makes the hair so soft and shiny so i love it.
 
lmao.
how do you like henna? i get the feeling you probably already answered that but i dont remeber. i know a lot of naturals use it but im scared because it can loosen texture.

I Love it:love:! The Strengthening Properties and the Shine is Like None Other!

And it's Natural! It's Amazing! It's Wonderful!

It's just so :censored:Time Consuming............:nono:
 
cool. i may try it later on. maybe the begining of 2010.

i was catching up on your other thread, its taking off. everytime i refresh my page someone posted. i like threads where people say what they want/need/purchased.
 
I can't do my hair tonight. I don't have it in me:nono:. Ill just get my prepoo and dc ready for tommorrow. Let it marinate. t i might be up with you, ill lay down in a little bit and take a cat nap that might make me feel better. I feel like i just fought a war all by myself and won:lachen:.
 
La, the coffee butter smel EXACTLY like coffee. i dont drink coffe but if i did i would be sooooo in love with this butter more so than i already am. this butter makes the hair so soft and shiny so i love it.

Does coffee make the hair grow? Ive seen some threads with ladies using coffee.
 
i read a little of the coffe thread too and i personally wouldnt think that coffee would make the hair grow. im not too believing of most hair growth things anyway. i did read somewhere that its good for cutting down on shedding and i may believe that if anything. all i really know is that it makes my hair soooo soft.
 
T, I'll be up. You know me.

I want some coffee, jojoba, and avocado butter.
And some more Hydrasilica Spritz from Hairveda.

Me. I'm a freak of nature. I barely need sleep and I can pop up about 5am or so without the need for an alarm.

I knew it was her. I love her.

Okay why did I go to the My Honey Child website :nono:. I know I've heard about the customer service. I may be interested in the Love DC from Sweet Nature by Eddie. I hate the packaging. I know, I know I should just make my own.
 
I have scalp cleansers from MHC that I love and I have always wanted to try one of the conditioners or something. Hmmmm.....

They Say Coffee Rinses Helps with Shedding and Hair Fall!:look:
