Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

speaking of vatika frosting, i am going to start saturating my wet hair (after washing and conditioning) with oil, vatika frosting, coconut, evoo, before i use my leave in and moisturizers just to see how it goes.
i always do oil treatments on dry hair before i co wash or shampoo but i bet oil overnight on wet hair (if it wasnt cold) would be amazing.

i feel much better now. i got a break so i went to the bathroom and took a wet paper towel and rubbed it along my scalp to get off as much oil as i could. then i drank a lot of water. im still gonna wash my hair tonight though, dont wanna sleep like this is some of the oil is still on my scalp.

actually what im gonna do is dry my hair with my micro fiber towel after i deep condition with heat(for the first time in forever) and then saturate my hair in a mix of vatika frosting and evoo. then in the morning im gonna co wash with jason natural jojoba conditioner.
 
i am. thanx girl. when i went to whole foods today to get the aubrey organics i started to pic up another jason conditioner but i didnt. im getting good at this not buying thing :look: sorta lol.

You are Getting Very Good. I am so Proud. You are Using "Restraint" and being Smart with your Purchases.

Girl, I love :love:Jason Biotin.

It was one of my First "Natural" Product Purchases. I Love:love: it!
 
:lachen::whipped:



Not yet im going to mix some in my dc on saturday since i usually leave it in all night let it marinate.

Cracking that:whip::

Girl, I don't sleep well sleep:nono:.

With My itty bitty hurr in a cooking bag! snap, cracklin' & poppin' all night.:sleep:

You should rub a little on 'plain' and see how it feels/smells on 'dem edges.:lachen:
 
Hey Che: How did you like the Qhemet CocoTree Detangling Ghee? I don't remember if you said or not?:look:
i have not used it yet but will tonight. im gonna take these braids out and setangle with the gee and then move on to shampooing and conditioning. i was trying to figure out what would be the best way for me to use this seeing as how i normally detangle with conditioner and this is all i came up with. i hear its a great moisturizer too so one day i may use it for a detangler on dry hair and use it as a base under whatever styling aid im using at the time.
 
ummmm i need to stop forgetting about products i have. i need to start using my jbco too. and there is yet another thread about AO. this one on rose masqite(sp?). i have this but have never used it and didnt realize it was so pricey. when i went in whole foods today it was like 18 dollars and i dont remember paying that much for it. im almost tempted to use it tonight to see why its so darn pricey when all the other AO conditioners are like 10 dollars.

Try it Che and let me know:grin:.

I thought this is one "we traded" during our Mad, Crazy Days on Wall Street.:lachen:

But if you already had one....that means I still have one *someplace*:look:.

I need to find it.
 
I just tried another twist out with my beloved elucence MB condish as my leave in. If i like it in the morning, i will stop playing and order another liter.

I don't know if my hair likes AOWC. I have used it three times and my hair is like:perplexed

lol no we traded the GPB which i love love love.
i am gonna try the RM tonight but i will use my heat cap instead of my hard bonnet dryer because i dont feel like setting that thing up. to me the heat cap doesnt do as good as the bannet but oh well.

i hope my hair loves it because i just bought it today.
 
I will be doing a hot and a cowash tonight. I'm thinking I might finish a jar of vatika frosting. If not I will finish it by next week. I will finally be trying the MHC Honey & Horsetail Reconstructor. I'm also thinking of trying that Giovanni Magnetic Reconstructor that Char talked about in her you tube video. It looks like I should get more uses for my money than the Nutrafix.
 
Goodmoring ladies, today is my midweek dc day, im going to use up the rest of my banana brulee later. I won't repurchase. And im going to do a scalp massage with hibiscus oil and use my califa spray and jojoba butter to moisturize. I think the jojoba butter will be gone tommorrow.

Ot- Hairveda soaps, i used the madagascar vanilla this morning and its really nice:lick:. It lathers well. I rubbed the bar on my loofah and i did not have to reapply again. You know some soaps you rub on your towel or loofah and it disapears, Well this soap lathered up good and the more you use the loofah the more it lathers. I thought the scent would be strong because you can smell it in the plastic but washing with it its just right. Not too strong and not too faint. The only thing about this soap is that it is softer than what im used to. So im going to let it dry out and put it in a plastic bag later on. If you leave it in the shower or wet enviornment i think that it will melt fast. But all in all hairveda did a good job. Soft skin and not that tacky feel. I will definatly hit them up for more soaps in the future.:yep:

Good Morning La,

OT - You and I were trying stuff out on our skin it seems. I used Hesh Neem and hesh Orange Leaf powder mixed with 1/3 squeeze of lemon and distilled water. I made a paste with it and applied it to my face and let it dry. It felt like a clay masque, it tingled and tightened my skin and when I washed it off first with warm water then with cold water, my skin looked like a baby's bottom.

My skin was so clear, clean, soft and smooth. I will be doing this again for sure. Now that I've tried these two powders, it's time to finally get that Hesh Skin Tone powder as well. The powders last a very long time because I have some left over that I have in the fridge to use for my next facial session maybe tonight or tomorrow night. Hmmm, I'm thinking about using my steamer to take off the masque when I do it again. I can't wait to try it.
 
I'll be doing my ayurveda tea rinse of kalpi tone, shikakai, and brahmi powders mixed in a tea of rosemary, thyme and green tea leaves that I will be pouring over my hair as soon as it cools down.

I'm gonna DC with some Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Conditioner and maybe use some EMB as a leave-in conditioner today:yep:.
 
Report back and let us know:grin:

Well I find that the more I use them, the more I like them and look forward to mixing them together to achieve a better concoction than the last:yep:. I have my baby sister loving them now too:grin:.



ETA: Oooops! I quoted the wrong post:giggle:.

hello ladies
T, the coco tree detangling gee is amazing. i swear i didnt know what to do with myself because the stuff just melted away in my hair. i took a pea size and ran it along the braid and then started taking the braids out with NO problem. and i didnt even make a dent in the jar. it is now a staple.

then i shampood, lathered twice, and then deep conditioned for 30 minutes with AO rose masquite. i really like it. as soon as i put it on my hair it dissapeared. i had to add more to make sure my hair was coated before i got under my cap.
then i dried my hair for a couple of minutes with my towel and then put my hair in chunky braids for a braid out with jc twist and lock. i hope it comes out nice.
