Omg I went to Lush yesterday and David talked me outta buying hair products.

He was like "Charlise, you said you aren't buying anything until Black Friday. I don't know when that is, but today is Saturday."

:lachen:That is too cute. He is keeping you on track. If your goal is to not buy anything until black friday, you can do it.

Eta- Ok i looked at the calendar and thanksgiving is on a friday. So will black friday be saturday or midnight on friday? Im confused now.

hello ladies. i did a scalp massage earlier(been up sice 2am, dont know why) with coconut oil and am now pre pooing with vatika frosting. will shampoo with afroveda shampoo bar and deep condition with a mix of AO white camillia and rose masquite. then do a wash and go puff. later tonight i will do tiny twists using afroveda cocolatte butter.

Che have you started using your tw mist yet? After you try it you may not want to go back to ojon.

Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday in November.
 
Good morning ladies, i have nothing to do today, everyone is gone. Anyway i haven't bought my jbco yet. I know i will only need 1 bottle but im trying to wait until wendsday which is my dc day. Im waiting because i have phantom itchies on certain locations on my scalp, no dandruff and no build up. But the same places always itch. I am taking a guess its from scalp damage when i relaxed, i don't know for sure, but the same places i used to get burned are the same places that itch. My head doesn't itch now but im trying to see if i can make it to my mid week dc without applying the jbco to my scalp. Im only going to use it 2x a week on dc day and wash day. Im going to see how it benefits my scalp. It makes my hair soft. And since ive started using butters instead of dc's and all natural conditoners and leave in. My scalp is not itching as much as it used too. Im finding that the simpler my products are as far as ingredient wise, the more it is benefiting me. Sorry so long.

Yep you guys are right, I think they printed it on friday because they give the day before and after off. So it would be wed, thur, friday is considered our thanksgiving holiday at work.
 
WOW! Your Work is Da' Bomb! I Could Use Wednesday! :look: AND Tuesday....and might as well throw in Monday.....:lachen:

We do get Thrus & Friday (so I shouldn't complain). I have alot of Friends that DO have to work on Friday.:grin:

But they 'get' Columbus Day & Veterans's Day (and we don't).:perplexed

We Should Do a 2 Week Christmas "Shut Down" too. Because Schools are Closed, but the Administration still has to "report"

It's a total waste of $ and the phones never ring. They could "SAVE $" By also closing between Christmas & New Year's (I just normally schedule that off anyway). But on the times I've worked it, it's been a Ghost Town. And No one stays there the Full 8 hours.:blush: :look:

If it wasn't so Snowy and Cold and I wasn't soooo Lazy......I'd probably roll up 'bout 11 and leave about 2 and keep my vacation days.:lachen:

We get MLK too!:grin:

Yes they schedule it with the school. I think that is nice because sometimes its hard for parents to find care around the christmas holiday. This way they don't have to worry. Is it cold there right now? Its 75 now, and that is crazy for here.

mkd--Your hair is beautiful!

I finished Njoi's Coconut Hair Butter. It won't be a repurchase.

I've finally given up on the wash & go at least for now. I did an amla tea rinse then followed up with the Shikai Everyday condish which has amla in it. That combination is the truth. It had my curls along my edges defined and the waves popping elsewhere. The two issues were: the right side acting a fool again. It was so frizzy. The second problem is I have some overprocessed strands in the front. They are straight. I checked the new growth on those strands and they are fine. That's why I figured overprocessed vs. heat damaged. Maybe in 6 months.

I was pleased with my hair appointment today. My stylist used the runway and its amazing. I wish I had one but I would probably be bald trying to use it. My hair is very shiny though.

Ya'll are terrifying...I wanted to try some qhemet and KBB stuff, and I can already see that if I'm going to get anything, I will have to order at like the exact moment that the sale starts. :lol:

Shay, Aggie & Other Tea Rinsers: Can You Please Elaborate on this Process. Do you just make Tea and then use it as a Final Rinse? How does that work?

I was thinking about buying some Nettle Tea, making it, letting it "cool" and then pouring it over my hair as a Final Rinse or is it more entailed?:spinning:

Also chemical damage vs heat damage: What specifically are you looking for?:look:

Like T...no sales, no purchase. The only thing I'd probably get is the CoCasta Shikakai Oil. My cravings for hair products have subsided so I'll only be restocking my staples. Well that's the plan.
 
Hey y'all...while you're thinking about your black friday purchases it'd be really cool if you could maybe donate a few meals to your local food bank or a turkey or something. The food banks across america are REALLY strained right now, and it'll be worse during Thanksgiving. I know they'd really appreciate it if people donated some cans of food or hygiene products (the cheap V05's for instance).

Good Girl!:kiss:

I Still Have Mad Cravings that I fight 'daily' but I am tryna' go into 2010 with a New Attitude.

And truthfully, I don't need anything.
 
I attempted to take pics and yeah, um I don't think I will be documenting this transition. It's so hard for me to get good pics :nono:.

Qhemet--Honey Bush Tea Gel, Cocoa Detangling Ghee

Hairveda--Hydrasilica Spritz, ACV Rinse, Sitrinillah, Buttercream, Amala Cream Rinse, Moist PRO

Ayurnatural Beauty--Cassia, Fenugreek, Amla, Amla oil, Kalpi Tone

Dc's are what are missing from this list but there is one more to try. The Honeyfig stuff is here I just need to pick it up. Not bad--a week. My hair accessories from etsy are here too. I already have those. Very pretty!
 
If hairveda has a store wide sale i will get some more soap bars and hydrasilica for my skin. That's it, if not then i won't get anything.
