feel better!

I got my tracking number for my hairveda order last night. I cant wait to try the vatika frosting and cocasta oil. I hope I like it! I had a bad dream that vatika oil wasnt made for african american hair and I kept waking up during the middle of the night to make sure my hair was still on my head!

Ive been using amla oil and I LOVE it. it makes my hair feels soft and it smells nice!

LC--You're doing a great job with your blog. I like it a lot. You've got them scents down.

I airdried in 4 plaits last night. I will continue to do this because I bun every single day and I want to give my edges a break. Further into the transition I will do twist outs and finally use those caruso's and flexirods to do some rollersetting. I figure since I "wet" bun everyday I can put on a scarf for about 10-15 minutes in the morning before I head out. But then I'm starting to think do I really care about laying my edges down? Not really. Just like I really don't care about having straight hair anymore. I bought this $175 flat iron and haven't even used it yet. Well I might do a length check at the end of my challenges but maybe not. We'll see.

hi ladies
today was a bad day. im sooooo not in a good mood. i have been sick for the past two days because my lady friend came and then i did not get my check. this is the second time in a row that my check came late so it took everything in me not to show up to work late. because im usually that kind of gal lol. so i did a little shopping, not much. i just got the jane carter twist and lock, giovanni nutra fix(im almost out of the one T gave me and i love this stuff) and i also got some alba botanica capuacu deep moisturizing conditioner. this stuff only has a shelf life of six months so im thinking its probably worth the $10.

I hope things get better for you, You should give me thier number you'll get your check and then some. I hate when that happens, you work so you need to get paid.:nono:
 
I received my shescentit samples and my pretty antoinett silk bonnet. The samples are tiny so i can knock them out tommorrow for wash day. And the bonnet, i won't buy again, i can make this myself:look:. For what i paid for it i should have got 5, you live and you learn.
 
Ya'll Pray My Hair Does Not Turn Out "Red":perplexed

And No.... I have nothing against "red" hair, but I personally hate to see "damaged looking" red-hair.:look:

And that would So not be cute.:ohwell:

Anyway, I mixed the Henna & Indigo together which is something I normally don't do.

I always Henna First for several hours and then Indigo for about an hour.

This time, I mixed them and will leave them on 2 hours instead of 4-5 hours doing the 2 step process.

Hopefully, when I "reveal" It won't be red. If, it is, I will have to Indigo on top of it anyway.

Well...........experimentation. My Ratio was more Indigo to Henna, so hopefully I will come out with a nice very Dark Brown.
 
Che - I hope you feel better, girlie!!!

La - I'm with Shay. Love the blog!!! :yep:

T - :bighug:Thank you!! I got the package! I've never seen that one before! I'm going to use it on Saturday. Thank you!!!:grin:



So, I just used up the last of my Jehan Prepoo oil. I will probably repurchase when Shescentit has the next sale. I also used up the big bottle of Komaza Shea Butter lotion I had. I'll get another one when I order the Califa sample kit. :yep: I have a few other things that finally have only 1 or 2 uses left in them so that's good.

What are ya'll doing this weekend?

I can't wait to hear your results. I have not gotten up the courage to henna yet, but if the henna/indigo can be done in one step, I may give it a go.

Yeah...Cherepirk:yep:: It can be done in one step for a Brown/Dark Brown Color. I have alot of "grey" and in order to maximize the color and get total coverage, I always do the 2 step. But tonight, I am going to try them together (to cut down on time).:look:

Generally, it should yield a very Dark/Darkest Brown. And I added more Indigo than Henna which should also balance out the "red". You actually add more Indigo to darken it.

When I do it as a 2 step, it comes out Darkest Brown/Warm Black.:yep:
 
T i hope your hair turns out lovely.
Shay, i think the alba botanica is gonna be good. i've never used it but the ingredients are good, it smells good and the shelf life is 6 months so that makes me think its fresh.

The Leave-In IMO is one of the best I've tried. (And I have tried alot). It is good. (If you use a Leave-In). Very Nice & Creamy.:lick:
 
i may have to try that leave in. i didnt take a good look at all their products because i had to go to work. i didnt really have much time to scope out the good stuff.
 
Okay Ya'll NO RED HAIR!:grin:

A Nice Rich, Deep Brown. I may do this all the time instead of the 2 Step Process.

Experiment = Successful.:up:

Here's what I used up:

The Remainder of a Pack of Indigo (I have 2 Back Ups)

The Remainder of a bottle of VO5 for Rinsing Henna -- We won't talk about how many of those are left:look: (that includes Suave Coconut & White Rain) Only used for Henna/Indigo

A Tube of Nexxus Color Ensure ph Balance of 3.0 -- I rotate this with Porosity Control (and I have a Backup of the Nexxus)

One Vial of Fermodyl 619 (about 16 more vials as a back up) I always buy a box of 12:yep:

Now Headed for the dryer.
 
im glad you got the color you were looking for. i may(or may not lol) try henna after i've been natural for a year.
yall, my 6 month anniversary is tomorrow. i didnt even realize it at first. its been six months already. and i think i have a good amount of grow for six months.
 
I don't think i like this bonnet, Maybe im spoiled by the pretty wrap because its softer, Maybe because its new? I'll wear it for a while to see how it goes but this bonnet material feels alot more stiff.:ohwell:
 
chebaby said:
La, that sounds like the bonnet i got from salleys. i replaced it with the pretty wrap.

I got mine on line from pretty antoinette, i paid $20 something for it. Its supposed to be silk but my pretty wrap feels better, i should have just gotten another prettywrap and i still may, i only have 1. I will give this a chance and see if it gets better.:yep: I just wanted something to alternate with the pretty wrap and thought why not.

Girl, You should just go ahead and get another PrettyWrap!:yep: Sounds like they were about the same price?:perplexed
 
Charz! You didn't tell me how Nice the Packaging is on the FHI Runway!

And........That they give you a small bottle of "Argan Oil" that's nice:grin:

But for almost $300 bucks they should have thrown in something else....like that heat bag SEDU sent to store your iron in.:look:
