I forgot to tell y'all that my Oyin Juices&Berries came in the mail the other day.

Man, I forgot how much I loved this stuff for my scalp. It's great. My scalp feels nice and supple.

I also got the new Honey Water from them. It's supposed to be a skin moisturizer. I keep forgetting to use it right out of the shower but when I do I'll give a review. I figure if I use the honey water followed by coconut oil my skin should be well moisturized (coconut oil by itself didn't work for me at all).

Me either! One morning I slapped it on and a hour later I was the ash monster.

I finished my yes to carrots mask, I really like this stuff I will repurchase it whenever it goes on sale.
I also finished a bottle of ion color (sally's). I went back to black tonight, I needed to get a break from the henna red.

I am sitting under the dryer now with protein filler and the YTC mask.... I was going to roller set but I am soo tired. I think blow dry and caruso rollers it is.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Does anyone know if you can use a butter for a heat protectant? I may want to blowout my hair next week, but i don't want to damage my hair.

Yup. La. msa was right. You gotta get a "Heat Protectant"

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Thanks msa you have to use a serum with the blowdryer also? I just wanted to blowdry. It does not get that hot.

Any direct heat, you definitely want a heat protectant, especially if you're using the blow dryer to try to get it straight.

Correct again msa. Please be Advised: Not "ALL" Serums are Heat Protectants.

If you plan to use a "Serum" Make Sure it is also a Heat Protectant as well.

I hope i don't like this jbco that i put in my dc. Why does stuff always have a way of creeping on you when your content? Products just have a way of ending up in my home by the way of usps.

I love the JBCO and have just re-ordered a crate of 12 bottles from SAMS as I share it with 3 other people. I add it to my pre-poo treatments and also add it to my hair oil concoctions - it is good stuff.

It is currently at UK customs so I am sure they will hit me with a hefty charge like they did last time

Rosalind how long have you been using jbco? And what do you like about it?

I might, i would not use it everyday just add it to my dc's. I know if i will like it when i rinse it out. I do like that fact that it is lighter than regular castor oil and the smell wasn't too bad. Not as bad as i expected it to be.

LOL - Even the poor exchange rate did not stop me from repurchasing. There is a UK supplier here now but it works out cheaper for me to order in bulk and just share it.

I just checked my account at SAMS and I first ordered a bottle to try in January 2007. This is one of only 3 things that I order from abroad as the shipping rates and customs charge are a killer

 

[rosalindb]

Rosalind how long have you been using jbco? And what do you like about it?

I first ordered it in January 2007 and have been using it ever since.

You do not need to use alot - a little really does go a long way. I think that I only go through 2 bottles a year as I add a little bit to my hair oil concoctions which I also share with friends. I normally oil my hair and scalp every two or three days or as needed. I leaves my hair feeling so soft it is just ridiculous.

I used to use just coconut oil in my pre-poo treatment but the added JBCO again gives my treatment an extra kick and leaves it feel so soft and conditioned. Also as it is so thick it does not make the treatment runny and gives it some extra substance.

Actually last year I had an extra bottle which I did not need and a friend of mine bought it off of me and she shared it with her mum and her mum confirmed that it was the real stuff and they use it just as they did when they were back home in Jamaica. They use it for hair, skin, poultices etc.

 

[Shay72]

I'm up. Been up for a minute.

Last night I prepooed/HOT with my oil concoction (JBCO,Shikakai Growth Elixer,Gro Aut, Mahabhringraj Oils), washed with CON (Green), then slapped on some YTC Mask and slept in it overnight. Today I will be steaming,then an alma tea rinse, cowash with Shikai Everyday Condish, and leave a little in.

For some reason I am determined to get a wash & go down. So far I have used Hairveda's Whipped Gelly and Afroveda's Curly Custard and both of them are . Both of them left my hair kinda stiff and dry. I think the manipulation made things look crazy too. Amla brings out your texture. I will start doing a tea rinse or a gloss with it on a weekly basis and follow up with the Shikai condish that contains Amla. That condish alone has amazed me in the past so hopefully this combination will do it.

Oh yeah, I finished a jar of YTC Mud Mask. I have about 4 more.

Girl........You Don't Have to Tell Me! I sent one of your Fellow Country Women (whom I love Dearly) Several Products on 2 Separate Occasions and the Shipping Nearly Killed Me!

Love Her to Pieces.....But........ I Couldn't keep it up. Woulda' Loved to tho' as she tries/buys many wonderful expensive things.

I also wanted some Anita Grant. And kindly she offered to send me some from there, but I wouldn't ask anybody to make such a Sacrifice.

It just cost too much.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Back to Using Stuff Up: I may use up a Butter Treat today to steam with.

I have another one in Stashville, due to Trading with Chebaby!

Especially since I am Hendigo'ing. I need all the Moisture I can get.

My Fibroids have been giving me a Fit since July. Terrible.

I was thinking about doing a Poultice myself with some. I Read on SAMS Along with Hair Growth, people use it for Breast Tumors, Stiffness and many other Ailments etc......So I thought about rubbing some on my Stomach.

When i first cut my hair i did wash and goes all the time, now my hair is longer she ain't havin it. Those days for me are over. The only way i may be able to do one now it to co wash in twists or plaits then moisturize and take it down wet, then just let it be. But its too cold now. I might try it next year.

Oh my hair is completely dry when I leave outta here. I did it at night and I was almost completely dry before I went to sleep. I put on my satin bonnet and when I got up in the morning it was still good to go. That may have been because of the hold of the curly custard. IDK. I will see what happens with the new way I'm doing it.

I just purchased some Taliah Waajid (sp?) PMB from the product exchange. THis was before I looked at that CVS thread. There are 2 CVS around the corner from me that are supposed to have it. I will cross that bridge once I try it. That would make for a couple products I can get on the ground but I still would need to go to 3 different stores to purchase them .

I hope you like it shay, remember if its too thick for you, you can dilute it and it works the same. I love that stuff. I don't think that i will ever use another leave in.

Girl - I was so mad. I had ordered twice from Vitaglo and also ordered from SAMS without any problems. Last year I ordered my 12 bottles of JBCO from SAMS and Customs stopped my package and charged me tax and an additional fee for processing and clearing the package. I was furious and queried it but it seems that I had just got lucky on the previous three occasions.

Earlier this year, I ordered from Vitaglo and Customs stopped my package again and the additional customs charges as well as the shipping fees worked out to be more than what the products actually cost. To say I was furious is an understatement, I was absolutely fuming!!!!

The only things I will get from abroad are JBCO and the two Aubrey Organics conditioners that I cannot get here (White Camellia & Blue Green Algae Hair Rescue Mask). A friend may be going to US and if so I will order the AO conditioners and get him to bring them back for me.

If I remember correctly, she has fibroids and uses the JBCO as poultice for this. I have just e-mailed it to see if she is using for this and if it is working - I will let you know her response.

Thank You So Much

I forgot about JBCO! You all are reminding me of all the good stuff I used to buy for me hair. Has anyone actually gone to Sam's to buy the oil? I don't want to pay for shipping and I will be home in a couple of weeks.

I loved JBCO, I think it was the ordering that steered me away from it eventually.

Yeah's Sams Shipping Ain't No Joke.

But Brownie turned me on to Crown Essentials and they seem to be a "tad" bit Cheaper.

So next time I order, I will try them.

 

[La Colocha]

I like the jbco, it made my dc perfect. I used avocado butter, shea butter, olive butter, jojoba butter with banana baby food and jbco. If i knew how to preserve this i would make a huge batch. I only use a little of each and a bit more oil to make one application. I feel a difference with adding the jbco, its a keeper.

I think bony carries it too, i will have to check again, if so when my sample runs out, i will hit them up. And thanks mama, you have helped me and the colochas alot introducing me to different butters and jbco. Im grateful.

Since the banana baby food has preservatives and you didn't add any water, you can probably keep it in the fridge for a week or two (with a lid on).

I wouldn't make a huge batch, but you could try it with a smaller batch and see what happens.

Thanks msa im going to try that, i did not think about the baby food having preservatives, i can make enough for 2 weeks and see how it goes. I can also make just a small test batch and just leave it in there until it goes bad to see how long it takes.

Eta- on the baby food it says to use up 2 days after opening, i wonder if it will affect the life of the dc. I tried freezing a homemade dc before but i did not like it after i thawed it out.
