I finished my jojoba shampoo sample and now im dcing with my butter dc. Did i say i was going to do twists? I need to go ahead and do my trim before it gets really cold. I planned on doing it 2x a year. I just get so lazy. Twists are the devil.

Okay..... So Why are Twists Bad?

I plan to also Trim 2x a Year Too. If I ever get something to "Trim"

 

[JJamiah]

I used up one bottle of chi, motions relaxer, Jazzing hair color.

I bought the Chocolate SoyMilk Shampoo and Soytri-wheat leave in conditioner

They are not bad per say it just takes so long to do. The last time i did twists it took 3 hours and my hands felt like i had carpaltunnel.

Okay since it's confession time I bought from My Honey Child (don't say nothing Char) this morning. I got the honey & horsetail reconstructor, coconut & papaya hair paste, and molasses deep hydrating conditioner. Of course the last two I'm trying out for a new dc. The first I want to use as my protein dc. I also ordered a denman brush and some hoop earrings from there. I may still order the love conditioner from Sweet Nature but I will wait and see how the MHC works out.

I'm under my heat cap right now with my oil concoction.

Well if you ever need anything she can't find, let me know...I'm there like every other day ...mainly because there are really fine men that work in the one by my house...oh and I like to go smell all the products in the beauty aisle.

Thanks msa, don't hurt them girl.

For anyone who likes to use coconut milk on their hair. You can also use regular milk and goat or condensed milk for a light protein. I was researching goat milk and saw that info.

We Have Several Whole Foods Here as Well.

And would more than Hapy to Go There For You!

Girl, that's msa with the Cute Men.

I ain't paid no attention to the Boys in WF's here (and prolly won't unless they are letting me use their little discount).

So wrong yet so right.

Im so bored today i guess i could work on what im going to use next week. My products are organized and have nothing else i can do with that. I will dc overnight and just chill. I will have to work next saturday so i guess i better enjoy it while i can.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I will dc overnight and just chill.

What are you DC'ing With?

I am also thinking ahead on what I can use up. Since I've gone into Shed Prevention, I will concentrate on the Garlic Treatment items that I have.

I have also noticed some increased shedding so I used the Alter Ego Garlic Treatment today for the second time. I am in love with it.

A butter dc mix with jojoba, avocado and oils, i added olive too. To the bolded i hope im on my game. I know we shed naturally and thats not a problem im keeping my eye on excessive shedding which i have not noticed any yet. Last winter was hard for me as my first winter natural so im hoping this time im better prepared with my butters and products.

IA!

It is Very, Very Good! I bought it when I first started using MT'ing because I was afraid of "possible" Shedding .

But for some reason, MT Didn't cause me to "Shed"

So AE Garlic just became One of My Favorite Overall DC Treatments. And with Steam......It is Outta Sight!

I will always have this one around. It's just a Great Conditioner.

Ladies if you could only pick 3 vendors to buy your products from who would you choose? What 3 vendors together would take care of your needs? And if you like salon products more or don't like ordering online. Which 3 companies would you choose. And you only get 3 choices.

I picked tns,beauty of new york and curlmart. If i had to make a choice this trio would take care of all of my hair care needs.

I would choose vitacost for vitamins and all my natural shampoos and conditioners, curlymart for my Elucence products and sleekhair for my Joico and other designer hair products.

I think I will survive off these 3 vendors for now. But seriously La, you should have given us at least 5 choices because my ayurveda products and mixable ingredients like SAA, honeyquat,etc, got left out and I love them a lot too - NO FAIR!!!

It Is Good That We are Thinking Ahead and Staying On Top of the Game. I can remember every year my stylist really didn't know what to do to combat "shedding" and I left that up to Her

(because it was "her" job)erplexed So I thought.erplexed

This year it's ALL Up to Me and that is Such a Good Feeling. I can't tell you how good. I have to think about the Health & Welfare of My Own Hair. How Totally Liberating........

 

[Aggie]

Currently prepooing with some Joico K-Pak DPR right now (incidently I used up my bottle of this) and will be DCing soon.

I clarified my extension braided hair with BWC Rosemary, Mint and Tea Tree Shampoo, followed by Avalon Organics Biotin with B-Complex Thickening shampoo mixed with a little caffeine powder.

I will leave this in for about 20-30 minutes on my scalp for stimulation.

Will update afterwards.

Ot: Im doing good on my body products im using the same things every week to get rid of them. When my stash runs out i will only be using jasmines coconut cream soap and her spray on fragrances. For skin moisture i will only use coconut oil, i love it for my skin, nothing makes it as soft as coconut oil. Like i said ot. i had no one else to tell.

Good Girl. I know you were Overwhelmed with Body Products Too! It's good that you found what you like outta All that and what you will repurchase.

You are doing better than you think!

Sorry i forgot about henna and ayurveda products.

Thank you. Its so ironic how plain coconut oil works on my skin but breaks my hair. Its actually pretty sad, the colochas are picky.

I'm under the steamer right now with YTC mud mask. I'm bored too LC. Maybe I will actually pick up one of the millions of books I have that I need to read .

 

[Aggie]

Guess what ladies? I found my staple shampoos finally! They are Elucence Moisture Benefits (for moisture) and Avalon Organics Biotin with B-Complex Thickening Shampoo (for protein).

The AO thickening shampoo smells so aromatically earthy and you could smell the essential oils in it too.

I kept opening up the bottle just to inhale it. I have it on my head right now and is in no real hurry to wash it out.

I will be DCing with some of the remaining Mizani Moisturefuse mixed with Mizani ThermaSmooth Conditioners in a few minutes. I am trying to finish up the tub of this I have left but it's taking forever to use it up.
