one time the door bell rang and i threw on my robe and flew down the steps with it open. just as i opened the door i saw the ups truck leaving and i was about to run down the steps boobs flying everywhere until i realized he left the box on the steps lol.

i was in the other thread where the lady showed he pj closet and i was thinking, man i wish my stash was that small lol.

i decided that when i make my anita grant order its gonna be a HUGE one so i dont have to re order for a while. ya know, make it count. im gonna get the big ole thing of the clay conditioner too. they say you can warm it in hot coconut milk and that just sounds so darn good.

[Aggie]

I take the NSI fish oil, like 2126 mg. I really like them. If you like the Carlson, I may switch over.

I amtaking this exact fish oil right now and still a large bottle left that I will finish before starting the carlson one.

 

[mkd]

I want a steamer too.

I feel like I need to buy some stuff but I don't know what to get.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Challenge Ladies -- What are Ya'll Doing to Your Hair this weekend? I think I will:

Clarify with Clarifying Conditioner (or Poo) still haven't decided.
Follow-Up with Nutrine's Garlic Conditioner
AO GPB Under Heat Cap 30 Minutes
Steam Keratase Oleo Relax for about 30-45 minutes (May use AE Garlic) Not Sure.
Rinse/PC/Leave-In Dry

Not Looking like I'll use up anything. Maybe another Sample Argan Oil and a Fermodyl if I decide to use it. I may just another Leave-In. Haven't decided.

Will skip the HOT & the Reconstructor and Just Use GPB Under Heat Cap.

 

[mkd]

I am going to do a cassia treatment, I will use up a bottle of VO5 washing it out. I will probably wash with a shampoo bar and DC with AOWC. I may try to twist and curl again.

We All committed in this Challenge to Make Well Informed, thought out Purchases. And "Try" to No Just Longer Buy Stuff on a "Whim"

We are looking for Result Driven, Wise Choices in our Purchases going forward. We have (for the most part) researched items to make a conscious decision whether it would be beneficial or "just another purchase" --- for no reason.

Having said that: Think about what you actually "need" for the betterment and/or Overall Improvement of Your Hair, and then Decide.

 

[mkd]

You're right. I have really been trying to decide what I need and I think its moisturizers. I actually think I need a steamer but am not sure if I want to commit to it yet. I am kind of in a hair rut and feel like getting some things will make me feel better.

The Steamer will definitely Take Your Products from to immediately. It's a Great Investment, Relaxing and Addicting.

I know! I am thinking its what I want for Christmas.

You'll Definitely Get the "Most" from Your Products. The Ones You Love will be Conditioner on Steroids and the ones that are only so-so, it will take them to the Next Level too.

Overall, it will Make/Force your Products to Perform Better.

You are making a Wise Decision. Especially, If Moisture is a Big Concern.

im gonna be sitting by my door waiting for my afroveda stuff. i hope she shipped my products together since i made two orders back to back but i doubt it.

Che: When I did that with SheScentIt, (ordered stuff back 2 back) I emailed her and she shipped them together and cancelled the Shipping Charge for the 2nd order.

 

[panamoni]

I just came from the bss. Good thing I went shortly before closing-think I'll go back on Saturday. This is my first time going to this bss and it has EVERYTHING.

Anyway, I bought some KeraCare Shampoo for itchy dry scalp. Today all of a sudden, my scalp has been itching like crazy. IDK how I'm going to make it to Saturday wash day without ripping all of my hair out.

I also bought a hair net, a phony bun to wear on a regular basis (hope I can figure out how to put it on and not damage my hair), and an afro puff drawstring pony to go w my Friday night halloween costume.

Think I may go back on Saturday for another phony bun or two and some accessories (but they have every brand of product, I so want to get some things...hmpf).

my moisture isnt a problem at all but i do want a steama and i KNOW it'll do wonders for my moms thick thick thick relaxed hair. she is getting good at pre poing and everything. i used to do it for her but sometimes im not home. i flat iron her hair every sunday and i ask her what she did to her and lately she has been pre pooing with a mix of ojon restorative treatment and carols daughters smoothies. for the past two washes she has been cowahing AND deep conditioning with the heat cap. last week after i flat ironed her hair it was soooo soft and thick. she moisturizes with kera care cream moisturizer(which i LOVED for my relaxed hair, i got her hooked) and she seals it in with vatika frosting. im thinking about giving her one of my other oils for winter since the vatika will freeze. and when she blow dries her hair she uses salerm 21 and a little bit of grease, i think she still uses esential balms all natural grease.
that goes to show that grease isnt so bad. i used marrocan oil serum, oscar blandi jasmine serum and joico serum and they all made her hair hard but with the grease her hair looks and feels amazing. i use my FHI on her.

i should have done that but i wasnt thinking. i know its just her but her shipping isnt as fast as it used to be. i miss getting afroveda orders in like a week

 

[chebaby]

also i just want to say that before we make any drastic changes we should sit back and really take a look at whats going on. i know we all already know this but recently i kept thinking about cutting my hair because of some damge i still have left from when i was using heat and everytime i think about cutting i look at my hair and realize the damage is so small compared to the rest of my hair. i think about how much my hair has grown in 6 months and how lush it is and then i ask myslef "why i wanna go and cut it?"

I've ordered from her back to back before and she shipped the products together. That was a while back when I did two huge orders from her. As these companies we love grow and they continue to make stuff by hand I think our waits will get longer and longer. It keeps the costs down for us if they don't have a whole bunch of employees. You would think with the 50-11 products we got already we would be good but you know how we do .

I'm not doing much to my hair this weekend since I did my hair Sunday and yesterday.

Tonight I'll be bantu knotting my hair (it's already stretched) with some tw mist. I have to go out all weekend so I'll be wearing a curly fro. I probably won't wash again until monday.

I've been trying to stay out of my head so much but I just like to play in it. Oh and I did add the gelatin to my conditioner yesterday and I had a much much much smaller hair ball after detangling. I think the gelatin helped strengthen my hair (it felt different) and the tw mist helped with slip while detangling. I'll keep using the conditioner with gelatin and see if my hair gets stronger over time. I did use less of the tw mist this time and was still able to detangle well and my hair felt moisturized so I'll continue to try not to be too heavy handed with it.

I'm halfway through my Vatika Frosting and my AO Island Naturals...another few washes and they'll be finished. After that I just have a Rosa Mosqueta and a GPB to use up before I can go back to my White Camellia. I do want to try out an AO shampoo so I'll pick up one of the 2oz bottles from whole foods at some point.

I think I know what my products will be for 2010 so I'm happy about that.

Hey, ladies!! Had to come in and catch up, as usual.

Charz, I got my Sephora on Tuesday and I was sooo excited!! I am about to place another order, too!!
I got my Shescentit, too. I'm going to use the Green Tea & Hibiscus in a few minutes, see how I like that. It smells good, that's for sure. Like everyone else, I plan to clarify, too. It's about that time.
I used up a 2oz of Njoi Herbal Hairdress. I have a backup and its a definite repurchase. I didn't use up any of my use-up-and-done stuff, though. I did use up my Hairveda Hydrasilica Spritz and I am going to order 3 more, a pH24/7, 2 Vatika Frostings, and some of her body stuff as soon as I submit this post.
I did give some stuff away, though. I gave my sis and her daughter some Vatika Frosting, Aveda Sap Moss conditioner, CHI Keratin Mist, Silicon Mix, and some JF Luminous Glaze.
