Why don't you just deep condition with them in? That's what I do.
 
So, I just used up my Silk Elements Mayo, which I will repurchase eventually. I also finished a jar or HSH Pumpkin Puree mask and Hairveda Whipped Clouds. I would repurchase the Pumpkin if I can find it cheap. I'll reup on the Clouds whenever I order more Hydrasilica Spritz.
I think I have about 2 more uses of JBCO left but I have one more in reserve.
I tossed out about 5 more old products that I know I would never use.

I guess I should say that I ordered from Shescentit. Moisture Mist and Tea Tree & Grapefruit conditioner, which are both on sale, and some Green Tea & Hibiscus conditioner.

Good job on using up your silk elements.


Good morning ladies im going to rinse out my dc today. I going to try doing braids today inspired by chebaby. Im going to see if i can do a better job on these than i do on my twists. I have practice from doing plaits all the time. Ill keep them in for a week. Im going to use tw mist and coffee butter.
 
I went ahead and canceled my order to Chagrin Valley. I have too many shampoo bars now that I need to use up.
 
ladies, is there a discount code for myhoneychild? im about to make a purchase and theres a section for a discount code.

im purchasing the organic shampoo, the organic deep conditioner and the honeybee conditioner.

I was looking at that too.

Is there a sample size section?
 
So I have decided MHC Coconut & Papaya Hair Paste is a hit. Honestly I was not blown away by it but I really like it alot and that works for me. The molasses hydrating deep condish will be here this week so I hope that will be a hit too and I will have my 3 dcs.

I have to readjust my goal of when I will be done with the stuff I don't like or no longer want to use. I will be trying to get it all done by my next restock in June. I will be using up:
AO GPB
AO HSR
Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality
Nature Fusion Moisture Balance
Nutrine Garlic Poo
Nutrine Garlic Condish
Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey
Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave In
Carol's Daughter Hair Milk
Mizani's Neutralizing & Chelating Poo
CON (Green)--I really don't think I can use it up in 8 months but I will try :look:

What I will probably use up this week:
Vatika Frosting (I have a ton more in stock)
Giovanni' s Nutrafix (Love it but need to get more uses for my money. Not a repurchase)
Roots of Nature Reconstructor (Not a repurchase. This is full of bad stuff)
Qhemet's Cocoa Detangling Ghee (Will be a repurchase probably during my BF restock)

I don't think we do. We are not big users of My Honeychild on this board. I do plan to check my other sources before I make my next order though :look:.
 
would you mind sharing your sources? im about to make a purchase and would like to save a few dollars if I can.

Good job ms aggie. How much longer will you keep your braids in?
Click to expand...

A few more days and take them down on Thursday maybe. I will give myself a much needed henna and indigo treatment, steam deep conditioner for a couple of weeks, then have the braids reinstalled.

You wait in between time to reinstall you braids? I used to wear braids all the time years ago and that is where i messed up. I would take my hair down, wash, then detangle:look: ( i knew no better) and got some put back in. I may try to get braids sometime in the future again. Do you use human hair?
 
I will use up a sample of lock it up gel on my braids today. I have a bunch and i should use those up before i start digging in my jar again.

Oh yeah, I always give my hair some protein and deep moisture conditioning treatments in between braids for 2-4 weeks. I use 100% kanekalon synthetic hair. I always remove the alkaline base from the synthetic hair before installing them though:yep:.

When I have them installed, I keep them really moisturized and use the Infusium 23 treatment on it as well to keep my natural hair from weakening. I am using the Crown & Glory technique to take care of my hair while in braids. It is working very well for me.

Good luck using them up! :yep:

Also, how do you feel about the Nutrine Garlic Condish? I bought it during my summer stock up, and I've been using it, but so far, I feel as if it hasn't done anything for me. :perplexed
 
i will take msa advice and deep condition in these braids so i can leave them in longer. im gonna use curl junkie rehab. then i will moisturize with ojon mist, she amla and cocasta oil.

@Charz, i doubt i make a MHC purchase. her stuff looks good but im not THAT interested. if i do make one it will be at the end of november.


in november i also plan to make a big qhemet biologics purchase.
