now you know you want that sapote

 

[IDareT'sHair]

now you know you want that sapote

I Just Came Back From Anita's! Yeah.....The Lemon Sponge Cake and there's another one I'm thinking of too in the Whipped Butta.

(but not the Sapote tho')

 

[chebaby]

lol i want the lemon sponge cake too. i never looked at the ingredients before and was wondering what the heck she put in her butters since everyone keeps saying its so darn good. im like, ok, it cant be that freaking good. but one of the butters had cupuacu butter and murumuru butter in it. both of those are supposed to be amazing on AA hair.

i meani would have gotten the products whether i knew cupuacu and murumuru was in it or not.

 

[Brownie518]

You guys think Anita Grant will have another free shipping deal before the year is out?

 

[BrownBetty]

Welcome!

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

I plan on repurchasing it is a staple. I've used it for a couple of years now.

I would like something that actually moisturizes..... I am using castor + vitamin E oil and jane carters nourish butter.

 

[BrownBetty]

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.

Thanks!

My heart hates that elasta qp and the shea... I have a bucket of shea butter that I am using on my body now.

Hello Ladies!
I'm new to the challenge...just joined today. (Thanks Terri! )

The last time I bought a hair product was one week ago, when I stocked up for winter. But I won't be buying anything else, because I need to use up some stuff, so I can streamline my regimen more. For right now, I'd like to use up:
1. CoN Nourishing Conditioner
2. Burt's Bees Super Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar Beet Conditioner
3. Smooth N Shine Therapy Silk Fusion Sixty Second Critical Repair Reconstructor
4. Ohm Body Crown of Glory Herbal Shampoo
5. HE Break's Over Conditioner

Hopefully, those will be gone by my next relaxer, which will be the day after Thanksgiving. I plan on using the conditioners by just putting them all together, putting some oils in there, and then using the mix to DC. I don't know what I'm going to do about the reconstructor...it's still full, and it didn't do anything at all, even when I let it sit for 30 minutes. Which is 29 minutes more than I was supposed to. I might just give it away.

And today, I finished my Lustrasilk Mango and Shea Butter Cholesterol, at long last!

Welcome to the challenge and good job on using up your lustrasilk.

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies, Im up early today. I rinsed out my prepoo and washed with elucence poo and conditioned with the rest of my ytc mud mask. Its gone and i won't repurchase. Im going to dc all day with a butter mix. I do like the coffee butter for my pre poos. Im going to try it as a sealer on my twists. I will do those tonight or sunday morning. It depends on how i feel.

For next week im going to work on using up the rest of my diluted tw mist and im going to start using up the banana brulee and tw herbal conditoner. Im trying to get the open products used up before i open anything else. Im ready to open a bottle of califa conditoner so i have to use up the herbal conditoner before that. Also i would like to get rid of all my dc's and stick to my butters. Im set for the winter on products. I have enough to get me through.

A few things...

I found out the shelter I wanted to give the hair products to doesn't accept them. So I think I will just use the stuff up that I have. I may do some more research but we shall see.

I am re evaluating products again. I have a few products that I love but I only get like 2-3 uses per container. I realize it is because I am heavy handed but so what??? I'm spoiled too so if I want to slather a whole bunch on I will. What does that mean? YTC Mud Mask and Giovanni's Nutrafix are on their way out. I'm already working on replacements.

I will be trying out the My Honeychild Coconut & Papaya Hair Paste today. I will let you know how that goes. I got a 2 oz container which I hope will cover my entire head.

 

[fattyfatfat]

Please let me know about the my honey child products!

If you want to get rid of the stuff. Do you know anyone at work you could give it too? Or leave them in the locker room at the gym. Someone will take them. That's good your evaluating your products.

I have been giving products away at work left and right. They act like they don't wanna be stacked up with products . They are starting to say that's okay. Also with some of the products the yt folx are like what is that for? Nutrine Garlic, Porosity Control, KWIM. They don't get it. I haven't been to the gym in a long time. I have a mini gym in my condo--seriously--I'm a pj in all parts of my life . I think for the products I just hate I will toss them. The ones that are just okay I will use them up. This means I will not need to buy poo or condish for a very loooooooooooooooong time. At this rate I will need this challenge for like another 2-3 years .

Okay I have the coconut & papaya paste in my hair. Very easy to apply. I had enough for my entire head...barely. I like the smell too. After being in the fridge I was able to turn the container over and no product came out but it was a little loose during application but it still meets my thickness requirements. I need to stop comparing consistency to Sitrinillah. No condish will ever be that thick. I love that stuff .

I knew someone would bring this up. Unlike ya'll I'm not into the packing & shipping business . I ain't shipping nothing . I'm too lazy for all that. People would be complaining about when Imma get my stuff and everything was spilled all over the box. I bought all this mess so I guess I am paying the price now.

People shouldn't complain if they are getting it for free.

You are right about that, but I still ain't shipping nuttin! I know ya'll are probably like why she put stuff out there if she's shooting down all the suggestions? I just like to complain sometimes .

I bought the TW bodifying mist at a BSS store this morning. I stopped at CVS to get some moisture milks to wash out cassia and saw they have it at CVS by my house too. I hope my hair and my DD's hair love it!

Welcome to the Challenge CBFly:Flahsssss aka PJ Anonomyous

So....Items 1-5 will any of that be a Repurchase or will you search for other products?o

 

[iNicola]

Last night I used up my Aussie Deep 3 Min. I will not repurchase. The strange thing about it is that it worked fine before I relaxed but now it doesn't give slip to some sections of my hair...same thing with the HR LTR condish. The other products that I was using before I ended my stretch works fine.

I thought I would have used up my CHI SI but it's still holding on for dear life. I think I should be done with this by the end of the month along with the YTCu conditioner and the TYCa mask. Sale for YTCa mask ends tonight but I don't think I'll pick any up since I'll be switching DCs as I get deep into my relaxer stretch. I have 3 more YTCa mask to hold me for awhile.

I also wanted to add that I'm loving the TW mist in DDs hair. My twist attempt sucked so last night I unraveled them and did box braids while she slept. Her hair felt soft and moisturized from the TW mist that I sprayed in her hair earlier that day. Yep, worth the money.

Her Sounds Adorable It's good that she lets you "play" in her hair without a "Fuss"

Good Job Using up Stuff iNicola!

I am jealous of you...I live in the non-melinated side of town so I'm pretty sure there will never be any TW products over here.


Ladies, as you're using up stuff please remember to recycle the bottles/jars. One of the reasons I'm trying to use up things is to lower my overall consumption (one of my goals for 2010) and the trash I produce. Almost all containers for beauty products can be recycled so if you have a recycling program, please use it. Or try to find other uses for the containers before you throw them out.

Thanks Terri

With the bolded, this is only because she was asleep . It took me hours to do those simple twists because she wouldn't stay put. She's only 2 so I'm trying not to let her hair grooming sessions traumatic.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Thanks Terri . She's only 2

IK! I Love Babies!

MSA, do any BSS near you carry TW products?

You are so right about recycling. I need to do better about this. I can reuse jars etc when I whip butters and recycle the other containers. Thanks for making me think about that.

I wish my 18 month old DD would sit still long enough for me to braid her hair. She is not having it so I just hope when she gets a little older, its something we can do.
