Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

Tonight i will be using tw mist and shea amla butter. I had a crazy dream last night that afroveda had a sale for 50% off but everything was sold out:perplexed. I guess its more like a nightmare:lachen:. All i wanted was the shea amla butter. Everyone was mad on here because there was a sale but no products:lachen:. Too much time on the internet.:nono:
 
Ya'll, I hope I use up something this weekend. I seriously doubt it tho'. Well....Maybe. that little tiny bottle of "Fake" Argan Oil that came in the box with my FHI Runway.

It's microscopic in size. But, as La Says: "at least you used up something, samples included":lachen:

Its true, its something, going from the days of never using nothing up to something is big to me.:yep:
 
I finally used up one thing!!!! I finished the ayurvedic hair butter from Njoi. It feels great to be done with something. I really enjoyed the hair butter and now Im working on the herbal hairdressing from Njoi.

@che, im sorry the sitrinillah didnt work out for you. will you be selling it in the exchange forum :look:? let a sistah KNOW!!!!!!!!!!! :drunk:

after Im done with a few items, I will purchase some joico products.

I love her shealoe and all of her products. I think I will purchase a shampoo bar from her soon.


I just used up a sample of Shealoe from Njoi. I already repurchased a larger size. That's all so far but I still haven't purchased anything. I think I might have to order a Moisture Mist from shescentit, though.
 
Ya'll I have serious hand in hair syndrome. I'm molesting my new growth :giggle:. Before T ask I did a hot with vatika frosting, then did a tea rinse with a mix of kalpi tone & fenugreek, then cowashed with Giovanni's Nutrafix (that needs to come in a bigger container), followed by an acv rinse. Used Giovanni Direct Leave in then did a bantu knot out with aloe vera gelly. I hated it when I took it out this morning. I ended up wearing a very loose curly bun.

My Honeychild said she will ship my missing product tomorrow. Gotta love that type of customer service. I put the two products in the fridge and they are good to go. If they become keepers I will continue to do that cuz ya'll know I love my stuff thiiick.
 
@washnset, i wont be using the sitrinilla again. i just cant waste my time with a product i dont like. but i already gave it to another member who loves it.
 
awwww man!!!! well, im glad someone will get to enjoy it :). im still PATIENTLY waiting for my sitrinillah to come in the mail from hairveda...

i deep conditioned overnight with sitrinilla and i hate it. my hair felt soft as in, when you put anything wet on your hair its soft. but it also felt rough and i had all these tiny white specs all over my hair as if it had snowed. so i co washed it out with giovanni nutra fix. thats gone, i used that bottle and im glad they started putting it in tubes because it took forever to make sure i got it all out that bottle.
i also used my micro fiber towel for the first time today and i love it. it dried my hair with not frizz in like 5 minutes and it was still moisturized. it didnt interupt the curls at all. im glad i bought this at tjmaxx for like 5-7 dollars because i was gonna order one for like $20 from curl mart.

I found that I hated Sitrinillah overnight, but loved it when I followed the instructions.
 
Oh yeah I finally used up my sample size of Qhemet's Honey Hydrating Balm. It will be a repurchase at some point but right now I have a huge container of it waiting to be used. A little bit goes a long way so I won't have to repurchase for a long time to come.

That's what I was thinking.:look:

Personally, I cannot DC overnight. Just the feel of my head being wet/damp overnight is kinda gross to me. And I don't rest well with product in my hair.:nono:

It's a personal thang.:perplexed
 
Hi ladies!

I need to join the challenge. I have a bunch of stuff but I can't seem to find the right daily moisturizer.

I don't want to buy more stuff to add to my ever growing pile.

I am almost done with my porosity control con.

Welcome!:hiya2:

What are you looking for in a Daily Moisturizer and what are you currently using?

Will You Repurchase the PC Conditioner? *When you use something up, please say whether or not you plan to repurchase. If so why, If not why?

Thanks
 
thanx ladies but i have used the sitrinilla so many different ways. when i was transitioning i used it on wet, dry, overnight and everything else lol. i always had to add stuff to it. but what really got me was the white bits all over my hair. and it happened as soon as i put it on my hair. i thought it would sink in by morning but it seemed like there was more. it was gross.

if you are looking for a cheap moisturizer you can find anywhere i would try elasta qp mango butter. a bunch of ladies here swear by it. or shea butter and mix it with oils but i dont know if that would be too heavy for your hair.
 
Che--I hear you. I love me some sitrinillah and can't live without it. It is not for everyone though. I don't believe in doctoring up products either. I expect to slap it on and be done.
 
yea i will just stick to my faves: oyin honey hemp, kbb deep conditioner and ashlii amala. that ashlii amala is my girl crush:look:

Shay: I really like this product.:yep:

I am using Amla and Heavy Cream tonight. I hope it doesn't weigh my hair down too much. But it felt really good going on tho' especially on my ends.:yep:

I need to determine now if the AHC works well on Relaxed Hair (or if it is too heavy).:perplexed

I also have a sample of Burdock Root.
 
i decided to braid my hair tonight. i am missing the braids, thats strange for me. i mean they were cute but i like "out" hair. i like puffs and such. but i loved those braids and its a great protective style so tongiht i will spray my hair with ojon mist, rub some evoo throughout my hair and then do individuals using afroveda hemp seed lock twist and roll butter. i remember this stuff is thick, if it has no slip i will add some pur whipped gelly so it can go on easier. its quicker to do twists but i really love the look of the braids. if they look really good i will try my best to keep it in for two weeks.

with my hair braided that means i wont be using up the vatika frosting as a pre poo or the yest to carrots. but i already used up the giovanni today and i will still use up the ojon mist so im good.

Welcome to the challenge MissVee
 
Goodmorning ladies, i did not moisturize my hair last night.:look: I was tired so i will lightly spritz with tw mist this morning. My butters should be here today im excited about that. I don't know if i will wash my hair today or tommorrow, it depends if i have to work tommorrow. But i will prepoo with coffee butter, wash with elucence mbp. conditioner with ytc mud mask (there is only a little left of this i want to use it up) and dc with a buttermix. Moisturize and twist with tw mist and i don't know which butter yet. I favor jojoba but im going to see. Everyone have a good day and see yall later.
 
My hair loves this ingredient, it gives a product slip and helps with moisture. 9 times out of 10 if a product has this at the top of the ingredient list it will work for me. I wish i could find it somewhere pure to mix into my conditioners.

You ought to know better:

$4.75 for 8 ozs @The Soap Dish

Same price @ Lotioncrafters

$7.38 @ TNS

Girl, I LOVE me some BTMS and I try to purchase everything that has it. I have almost a pound of it. If you would like some just pm me.
 
Can I join this challenge too ladies?

I have been reading this thread for a while but I think I want to join.

I don't have a ton of products but there are a ton of products that I want to try. I figure as I use up what I have, I can buy some new stuff.

Yay!!! Welcome!
 
Charzboss, I want to order the CV ayruveric herb shampoo bar that you started the thread about. I have and love the olive babassu and cafe moreno. I think I am going order samples of the nettle, babassu and marshmallow, carrot milk and honey. I like the sample sizes because I can use them faster and try them all.
