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.erplexed
Personally, I've used it for the 2nd time this past Friday as a Co-Wash Conditioner. I'm not having an unusual amount of "shedding" or anything, but am using this as a precautionary measure in my Fall/Winter Regimen along with weekly hot oil treatments and a weekly reconstructor and of course, deep conditioning.
It hasn't really gotten Super "Cold" Here yet, but I want/need to find "the right products" that will help me through this change of weather.
So, far, for me, it has been working fine. I don't think it's "drying" or anything.
For me, just another Lightweight Co-Wash Conditioner.

Good luck using them up!

Honestly I have not been able to use it consistently enough to tell you much. I'm using it up because I want to go a more natural route.
Ladies, I forgot I also need to use up Njoi Creations Coconut Hair Butter, Ayurvedic Poo Bar, and ACV rinse bar. The hair butter and acv rinse bar I should finish before the end of the year. The ayurvedic bar I have not even used once yet.

Im half way done with my chebaby braids
. Im using tw mist, jojoba butter and loc it up gel. I decided to use the jojoba instead of the coffee because its almost gone. I have another in reserve so im going to get this one out the way. It should be gone sometime next week or a little later. I like doing braids because i can get the back of my hair with no problem. I can grab the roots better to get a good hold. Im also using african healing oil on my scalp. Im slacking on the scalp so im going to do better with that.

To me the desert jay shampoo and con smells like ben gay
. And the shampoo was horrible, the conditioner wasn't so bad. I have never tried any of their shampoos again because ive seen alot of reviews on how they are stripping or just plain bad. HThEta- It was desert jay herb if im not mistaken, i don't know if its the same one.

Thanks. Yup, it's the same one. The shampoos always get bad reviews here so I'm not surprised your didn't like it.

Thanks!
I think I'm going to try it. I already love the WC conditioner. And, they usually have the 2oz versions of the shampoo at my whole foods so I'll probably get it next time I'm there. If it's really bad I won't feel bad about throwing it out. I'll probably mix it with my conditioner anyway.

The only reason I stopped buying the WC shampoo is because I found out earlier this year that black soap works just as well for me. I have been using it for my face and body since 2006 but for some reason never tried it as a shampoo. I still have some WC shampoo to use up and actually used it last week for the first time in months but once I have used up what I have I will not repurchase.
I love the WC conditioner too. A friend of mine may be going to the US this year, if he does I may order some more from Vitaglo as well as the AO BGA Hair rescue Mask, GBP and HSR and get him to bring them back for me. AO conditioners are the only ones I use.

Sounds Really Good Che!
How does your hair feel? I was in TJ's the other night, I shoulda' looked for the Microfiber Towels.
Are they with the Hair Stuff or with the Towels?

they are with the hair stuff.
my hair feels great, i was surprised because when i braided my hair i used afroveda hemp butter and whipped gelly which gave my hair so much hold that it was borderline hard. it didnt soften up as fast as i wanted it to even though i was spraying it with ojon mist twice a day. my hair is very soft now and feels moisturized. its still damp but im sure its gonna dry soft because i used cocasta oil and that yummy oil never lets me down.

Good News La!
I took my braids down tonight because I couldn't wait until Thursday any longer. I am too tired to do anything with it tonight so I will be DCing tomorrow and hopefully giving myself a hendigo treatment as well.
As far as how to remove the alkaline base, I simply soak my synthetic braids fresh out of the plastic packaging in a sink full of luke warm water and a cup or two of white vinegar for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, you will see the white scummy residue float to the top of the sink. I let the water out and runs some more cool water over the braids to remove the remaining residue, then I hang them up in the shower to drip dry.
After they are dried, I spray them with braid spray just before I get them installed. When it's all done, my braids already have their shine on them
. The next morning I would jump in the shower and let water wash through them and condition them lightly so that they would flow and lay better once dried.
I would normally wait another 2-3 weeks before washing and DCing my braided hair and I would do this routine while daily moisturizing them in between until take down time
. Nice and simple.

Oh by the way, I find that by waiting 2-3 weeks to wash and DC the extension braids, that I did not have the buildup that I was expecting to have even though I did some deeply moisturized them daily.
I liked them almost wet. I had mixed some castor oil in my daily spray moisturizer and that stuff kept my hair from locking and matting and kept my roots super soft. I will continue to do this as this was my easiest take down EVA!

Thanks aggie, do you only use braid spray while in braids or do you use other moisturizers also?

thanx T.
im really happy i have found so many way to do different things. most of the things i come up with i get from you beautiful ladies of this bored. im happy i found you all because i know everyone around me thought i was gonna cut my hair and be miserable(sp?). but im not. i have never felt so beautiful in my life than i do with my natural hair.
SO got a new phone and there was a pic on his old phone of me that he transfered over. it was such a cte pic of me with my long hair and when i saw it he said "i know you miss all that hair, look at those big curls. you miss it dont you?" and i honestly said no. it wasnt that my relaxed hair was so horrible looking, it was really nice, but it wasnt my natural texture and i couldnt do ttoo much with it. im happy now.
thanx ladies.
