Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

Oh and my pretty wrap and horn comb came in the mail today! I wish I had time to wash/detangle today because I want to use my new comb. And the pretty wrap seems like it'll be perfect...I already tried it on.
 
i dont think vatika frosting is thicker than coconut oil. it is a little more oily if that sounds right. it doesnt sink in as much as regular coconut oil for my hair. but i like them both.
 
IMO: Perhaps Creamier?:look:

But I'll let: Americka, Brownie, Charz, Che, iNicola, msa, Panamoni, Shay, WnS Chime in.

I haven't used it that much. I open it and Smell it:blush:

I'll get around to using it tho' I'm sure before this winter is out.

Creamy is the perfect description, T. And LC, I used it on my skin last night. The absorption is no different than that of regular coconut oil. And the scent! :lick: We don't need to discuss the softness...
 
i was in that thread too msa. i dont know if its coming to one near me but my local bss carry the line and i was gonna get the lock it up this weekend but backed out because the texture looks like gel and i thought it was gonna be a cream. i will just stick to the mist and oil. i havent seen the oil yet but i may try it if i find it.
 
One of the BSS I go to has the entire Taaliah line. I always have wanted to try it. My order still hasn't come from Beauty of New York. I usually get my stuff in just a couple of days.

Well all the cvs stores they're going to be in aren't really down the street (more like across town) but I'd rather drive out of my way to buy it than to continue to order stuff since I hate ordering.

But I have 2 J&B's on the way here so I won't be trying this for a while anyway...do you have the full list of ingredients? I couldn't figure out what the preservative is and I'm picky about those.

Thank you americka, i will get a jar when she opens back up. What size is it? A 16oz jar of coconut oil lasts me a few months but it should go quicker now that im using it more. Ill probably only need 1 jar to last me through winter.

TW Protective Mist Bodifier is coming to a cvs near me...:look:.

I saw that and im hating. My state isn't even on the list.:sad:

I wish i would have known you were looking at it. I could have sent you some samples. I have a jar and naturalhair.org sent me about 7 samples of the lock it up when i made my bulk order.

When did you order? I have ordered from them 2x and my stuff shipped out the next day both times. Keep us updated.:yep:

I posted the full list off the back of my bottle in the cvs thread:yep:

8 ounces according to my receipt from Hairveda. It is the exact jar as the 8 oz jar used for the Banana Brulee.
 
La, I always order from BoNY and I always get my order in a couple of days. I don't know what the issue is. The track order just comes up with Packing as the status. I just sent an email. It's been a week and a half now.

When is Hairveda opening back up?

Dang ms. b let me know when you get your stuff. I hope its not something that is going to be reoccuring. I love fast shipping. On the hairveda site it said 1-2 weeks. Id say maybe the latter.

La, would you like some Vatika Frosting? :look:

No thanks hun, already been taken care of:look:.

I "think" the website said from late September to April. I'll double check when the products link is available again. I also want to order more. :blush:

Im sorry americka i didn't mean to start any trouble:look:.

I will let you know. They have always been so good with shipping. IDK.

On the vatika, very interesting. :look: I can't wait to see how you like it! I think I might try it as a prepoo next wash. We'll see.

I hope it feels the same on my skin. It would be nice to change up every now and then and get the same softness.
 
I found this on the Hairveda website. Ignore if it has been posted before:

Directions: Massage Vatika Oil Frosting into your scalp to stimulate circulation and help promote growth. The amla, & lemon extracts help keep your sebum quantity at bay promoting and aiding in constant growth.


 
i love vatika frosting but im hating how hard it is now. i mean i know it gets hard but i liked it when i LOOKED hard but when you touched it it just melted at you tips and became creamy. now its rock solid.

I don't have it - missed the sale. Some people :look: have stockpiled it so that curious patrons like me have to sit back and daydream while others drool about how cool it is. One day...

That stuff is like crack, be on the look out for the restock because it will go fast again. I was going to buy a few jars in case some people didn't get any but i thought all of you had gotten some. I saw the sale early that day and tried to get it out there.

Did you try setting the jar in hot water for a few minutes before you tried to use it?
 
yea i wont use it until i melt it, i was just saying lol.....
its so yummy when you can just scoop some out instead of melting it.
 
Good morning ladies, today i will be using tw mist and olive butter to moistruize my hair. I will also oil my scalp with some tw african healing oil. I have not used up anything else yet. I have a pinch of tw mist left in the original bottle but im going to add water to it, so it will take me longer to use it up. My jojoba butter that mom sent me is running low but i have a back up coming for that. After my ytc that might be the next thing to go. Also my shea amla butter is dwindling but im going to try and strech it out. I won't get another jar until april. Everyone have a good day today.
 
I wore my pretty wrap last night...I love it! It stayed on and was super comfortable. And, it fit around my loose bun without coming off (which is what bonnets normally do). I just hope the elastic part doesn't get stretched out too easily (which also happens with bonnets).

I'm thinking of doing a personal challenge for next year of keeping the same regimen/products for the whole year...and I'm going to try no fake hair yet again. First I need to figure out what those products will be though.
 
awww man i think my hairveda came today and i missed it. i must have been upstairs. anyway i will have to go to the PO to get it tomorrow. and my curl junkiw shipped yaaaayyyy this is gonna be a great week.
i dont think im gonna be able to do my yarn braids this weekend because now everyone wants to make plans and crap. plus i want to see that new paranormal activity movie.

so whats up ladies?
 
My emu oil came in the mail today :yep:. I just used some on my hand and it absorbed almost instantly. I'll wait a day before I put it on my scalp.

My Oyin's not going to be here for awhile and that makes me want to go out and find that TW Mist...but I shall resist the urge :yep:.
 
man my ojon mist will be gone by the end of this week and i want to repurchase because of the yarn hair but i do have other mists. the thing is i dont know if my oyin j&b and greg juice will get the job done because of the glyserine and the fact that it just not as moisturizing as the ojon. i have the TW mist but will that be good on braids? if so i could spray the oyin and then add the TW since its thicker. ok i'll try that.

On the website and from reviews here people have used it on braids with success. You might want to add some water to it though because from what I've read it may be a little too thick for braids.

Oyin's great for the scalp too...and it actually works as body spray as well if you need other ways to use it.
