[Charz]

Charzboss, I want to order the CV ayruveric herb shampoo bar that you started the thread about. I have and love the olive babassu and cafe moreno. I think I am going order samples of the nettle, babassu and marshmallow, carrot milk and honey. I like the sample sizes because I can use them faster and try them all.

Girl I'm right behind you!!!!!!!

Charz, or anyone, have you tried the honey/beer/egg bar from cv? I need something moisturizing and that seems like it would be.

I love the honey beer soap and shampoo, it makes my hair so soft and my skin supple. And it doesn't smell like anything so that is a plus. It lathers very well too. The soaps and shampoos last long, too long.......

I am curious about this one too. I find the olive and babassu to be pretty moisturizing, well much more so than the cafe moreno.

Yeah the morena wasn't moisturizing for me at all.

Right, they last a very long time. I have been using samples for months. That is why I won't order the full size because they will probably last me for like a year.

Oh good to know! I'm thinking of ordering the honey butter soap bar and using that because it seems extra moisturizing as well.

The samples do last a LONG time.

T sent me two of them, the nettle and the clay. The nettle I did not like at all and I used it to clean the bathroom. The clay I just used and I liked it but I wanted it to be a little more moisturizing. Plus I already have bentonite clay at home.

I'll look around the site and order some samples eventually...I need to use up other stuff first.

I am SO glad I read this, the nettle was in my cart but I am having a problem processing my order. What didn't you like about the nettle?

I didn't like it either, it was drying.

Same as Charz, it dried my hair out. And, I don't even use the bars on my hair, I rub them on my scalp and the soap gets on my hair while rinsing. It was just too much for my hair.

My honeychild shipped my missing item today as she said she would. Over at the parents today. Worked too many hours as usual so I worked a half day. Depending on the time I head home I may do my hair tonight. I seriously doubt I will though. I probably will just prepoo over night with my oil concoction and wash etc tomorrow.

 

[chebaby]

Where did you get yours?

i got mine from a random bss. it was like $2-3 or something really cheap like that. its a really nice comb.

 

[chebaby]

have not tried that one but i have used maybe 4 different ones from them and the one i cant live without is the caroot milk and honey. it is so moisturizing.

 

[chebaby]

so i ended up braiding my hair last night using the afroveda hemp butter and the whipped gelly and it gave me so much hold but i hope that means i can leave them in for 2 weeks. the more i use the hemp butter the more i fall in love with it. i dont think there is any butter by her i didnt like.
also my curl junkie came today. i used the aloe fix gel on my edges today and i like it. i hate the smell though. it smells too chemically if you know what i mean. i cant wait to deep condition with the curl rehab and use the coffee coco curl cream as a leave in.

I Don't think you can "not" play in your hair long enough to leave something in for 2 weeks..................

 

[La Colocha]

$4.75 for 8 ozs @The Soap Dish

Thanks americka

Can I join this challenge too ladies?

I have been reading this thread for a while but I think I want to join.

I don't have a ton of products but there are a ton of products that I want to try. I figure as I use up what I have, I can buy some new stuff.

Welcome to the challenge

I know i can't.


Good day ladies i got my butters today and coffee smells like coffee but i rubbed some on my skin and the smell went away in a few minutes. I will use that on my twists tommorrow. Im going to wash my hair today because i don't have to work tommorrow thank you jeezus.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Well, I am finished with my Hair Tonight.

I got an Early Start.

Did a HOT with EVOO, Co-Washed with Garlic Conditioner and DC w/Steam using Lamur Bone Marrow DC Treatment.

Didn't use up a Thang tho' (except for that sample of Argan Oil) that I used to Flat-Iron with.

But I am so Happy that I am done with my hair tonight.

i know lol. i was thinking maybe if i co washed/ deep conditioned them once a week that would make me feel like im doing something
i doubt they will stay in for 2 weeks though. the last ones lasted 5 days and i was done lmao.

 

[chebaby]

this is what i plan on using up before i make my big purchase from anita grant:

yes to carrots conditioners (have one more)
vatika frosting (have 3 more)
ojon revitalizing mist
deva curl one condition
shescentit banana brulee

I may have to get in on your shipping plan and stick 1 or 2 things in your order

I don't think i can keep mine in longer than i week at a time. I took one down and it did not want to come apart. Like it was trying to lock. I remember the days when my hair hated twists now its a different story.

I think im going to like this coffee butter, i will wash it out in about 2 hours. My hair still feels good. Its a thick butter and really creamy. Im hoping to make these butters a permanent part of my reggie. I don't think i will get the shea amla butter anymore. I love it don't get me wrong but my jojoba feels the same. I can get all my butters from one place.

 

[chebaby]

i know this is a long shot but i have an 8oz jar of qhemet heavy cream only used once and was wondering if anyone would like to trade for the qhemet honey hydrating balm.

wow at no more shea amla. i think you gone mad girl

I am about to wash my hair with elucence clarifying and then the moisture benefit poo, DC with AOHSR and rollerset with aphogee keratin and green tea and PM super skinny serum. I am not close to using up anything but a bottle of ACV. I just got banana brulee, avocado rinse and the moisture mist from shescent it last week. I think I am going to buy the TW bodifying mist tomorrow though. I need to see which one I like better.

I mean think about it, if im going to order my butters why not get them all from the same place? For me jojoba and shea amla give my hair the same results softness. Im trying to limit the companies that i buy from.

Hi ladies *wave*

I have a question for naturals who had the chance to try TW Lock It Up gel, does it flake? I tried doing twists with Ecostyler Olive Oil gel on my DDs hair and hated it. I was thinking of picking up the Lock it Up gel but wanted some feedback. Thanks.
