Shay: Let me Know how the Caruso's Work For You! Thanks

 

[La Colocha]

See, right there, that bolded, that is YOU, La!! You just love that combo, don't you? Don't you love it when you find something that just works for you?

I do love it ms.b that combo and tw mist and jojoba butter is my jam.

I got my Afroveda today!

I got the liquid shampoo
The new conditioner (Prana)
and the Men's Pomade!

I wanted the men's oil. How does the pomade smell?

Terri, this is my weekend for doing my hair but I have a bit of a head cold and is wondering what I should do.

On the one hand it will be 3 weeks since I last washed my hair and I really need to wash it now but on the other hand, I"m scurrrred that it might make me sicker. I hate being sick.

I hope you get better soon ms. aggie

Ooooh guess what La? I found a place here that cater to ladies with natural hair and locs - they sell the 8oz bottle of TW Protective Mist Bodifier $13.95.

I think I am going to buy one here first to see if I really like it and if I do, I will order 2 or 3 of the 32oz bottles of it online from www.naturalhair.org:eyebrows2:.

That should take care of me for a long while. I want it primarily for when I wear my braids and for detangling purposes after braid take downs, which will be for a long while yet. Afterall, I have another year or so before this relaxer stretch is complete.

Good deal, I wish they had it here were i lived. I'd be like just go in the back and bring me the whole box.

Y'all I just went on a buying spree. Well it's probably not really a spree compared to how y'all roll but it's a lot for me, especially because it was ALL online.

Ok, so here's what I bought:

Horn comb...because I'm tired of plastic combs with seams...I have a kcutter but it's kind of hard to work with though it's great for massaging my scalp.

2oz emu oil...got it from amazon...it was 10% off...hopefully it'll help me heal my scalp.

From Oyin 2 bottles of Juices&Berries (also to help me with my scalp and to moisturize my hair) and 1 bottle of Honey Water (seems like it'll be a good all natural skin moisturizer..I hope ).

A pretty wrap (ivory, since it was on sale).

3 packs of braiding hair from hair sisters (freetress loose deep wave) because I'm going to try my hand at crochet braids. It was on sale for half off so I figured I may as well.

Im so proud *cries* I told you we would get you one day.lol

IK. It was Whack

thats so cute. i love making jokes and then saying "u get it"
people be looking at me like "yes Che, we get it".

 

[chebaby]

the only thing i will be using up this week is vatika frosting. when i say that thing is frozen solid, it is FROZEN. this weather aint no joke i tell ya.

i plan on melting it and using it as a pre co wash(i claryfied and shampood today so no more shampoo for another 3 weeks), mix in my trader joes nourish spa and other conditioners.
also my 32oz bottle of honey hemp conditioner will need to be re-purchased soon. it is half full and i noticed that i use a lot of this when i put it on dry hair which is always. so i may get anothe 3-4 uses out of this bottle. maybe more.

 

[Charz]

So.......did that Arrival Satisfy your little "itch"?

Nah not really. Haha, tomorrow will make a week of me not buying anything.

It's easier after a period of time.

You Did Good Charz.....

Just take one day at a time.

I'm Proud of You Lil' Sis!

 

[chebaby]

Charz, did you ever try hydratherma naturals?
i tried it back when i was relaxed and most of it i didnt like but some stuff was ok and others i thought would be better for natural hair. i loved the leave in, i want to retry the lotion and i loved the oil too. im thinking about getting them this week.

oh and im not trying to egg you on or anything

 

[Shay72]

This cocolatte mask got me wanting some hot chocolate.

Ive used the oil and the lotion before. I liked both of them but the lotion bothered me because of the glycerin. One day it would work then the next it would not.

 

[chebaby]

i thought the lotion was too "wet". but i might like it now.

 

[JJamiah]

Yes it did i had and epidural(sp?). But i heard that water births are easier and they help with the pain and birthing. If i would have known that then i would have had her in the tub.

I never had the Epi (TOO SCared I'd Move, but I have four), the water does help you to control the contraction pain weird but it works.

 

[Brownie518]

I love Hydratherma Naturals. The Oil, Lotion, and Leave In are all staples for me!!! I love how they smell. Next week, I'll be doing a quick stock up on some things so I have to get 2 more oils, and some leave in.

Im so proud *cries* I told you we would get you one day.lol

Now I really have to use stuff up. I want to do something to my hair tonight...but my scalp is still sore and itchy and if I start messing with it I'll want to scratch and that's not a good idea.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

^^^^^^

You Did REAL GOOD Today msa!

 

[La Colocha]

Now I really have to use stuff up. I want to do something to my hair tonight...but my scalp is still sore and itchy and if I start messing with it I'll want to scratch and that's not a good idea.

What happened, did you have a reaction to something?

Yeah, Sweetie, You Do Have to Get Busy. I read in another thread where you said you don't like to keep products over 6-8 weeks. I can't remember which. So, yeah, you are going to be a busy little PJ!

I didn't because I thought it was full of chemicals? At some point of time it was I believe, did they reformulate?

 

[Charz]

LC: The pomade smells like some kinda grease that I have smelled before. Like some old school BSS grease.

 

[Charz]

You Did Good Charz.....

Just take one day at a time.

I'm Proud of You Lil' Sis!

Girl my weave hair is gonna be like 200+

Thats my motivation!

 

[msa]

What happened, did you have a reaction to something?

Nope. It's been happening for years...this one area of my scalp will get really sore and itchy all of a sudden...it'll be like that for maybe 2 weeks and then it'll be back to normal.

I'm not sure if it's because of prior damage (hard presses many many times throughout my life and one really bad weave incident) or if it's inflammation (from my lupus) that causes the symptoms. But I do feel like the hair in that area is much thinner than it should be. And when it itches I scratch so hard that I cut my scalp and create sores.

So basically it's been a bad cycle that I'm trying to break, which is why I bought the emu oil. I'm hoping that it will fix whatever is going on in my follicles.

Yeah, Sweetie, You Do Have to Get Busy. I read in another thread where you said you don't like to keep products over 6-8 weeks. I can't remember which. So, yeah, you are going to be a busy little PJ!

Oh that was in the how long do products last you thread. Yeah I don't like to keep a lot of stuff around at all. I'm probably going to increase my wash frequency for the rest of the year so I can use it all up. My challenge for next year will be trying to see how long I can get my products to last so that I can spend less money and learn not to be heavy handed.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Are You Sure You're Gonna Like really "not" having to do too much to/for your Hair?

For Some Odd reason, I see you getting "Bored" with this Look really Fast.

How long Nov-Feb?

And.............Have you decided how you are going to care for your Hair while it's being protected. What products/spritzes etc....will you be using???? How often etc.....

Please Give me Details?

Charz, i dont know if they reformulated. but the lotion, oil and leave in have great ingredients. nothing bad. its just the shampoos and conditioners.


for my hair to be so parched today it sure is the cutes wash and go ive ever done lol. my hair is parched because of the shampooing session but it seems like it just drank in all the leave in and shea butter i put on it. i say that because my hair is soft but not coated soft like i usually like with my shea butter. i guess my hair just sucked in all that shea and olive oil.
i just came back from outside and its freezing. so i can not sleep with no conditioner on my hair. so i will make a butter and oil mix using shea butter, coffee butter, olive oil, olive butter, wheat germ oil and jojoba oil. i hope i wake up with moisturized hair.
