Good job americka, are you going to repurchase some vatika frosting? I think its still $5.00.

I just opened my second jar and I have two more, but I will probably order more since it is on sale. The NTM is also on sale at CVS, so I will try to get more today. Those two are definite staples!
 
Good Morning Ladies: I didn't do my hair last night.:perplexed

I had a stressful afternoon and was just too worn out.:nono: So I applied Vatika Frosting throughout and Slept in Plastic Cap & Prettywrap.:look:

Ya'll know I musta' been Jacked Up, because I hate sleeping with stuff in my hair like that.:ohwell:

Anyway, washed it out this a.m. Clarified with Avalon Lemon, Shea and Babbasu Oil Clarifying Shampoo, Co-Washed then in the Nutrine Garlic Conditioner. It felt really good to Clarify, and the Nutrine really Grabbed.

Thanks Again Shay for mentioning Clarifying. I am Sooooo Glad I did it.:grin:

Now I am under my Heat Cap in AO GBP. Will do that for about 30-45 minutes. DC with Steamer using Keratase Oleo Relax. PC, Leave-In & Dry. Doubtful if I use up anything today, but I will keep My Eye on the Prize.

Managable Stash in 2010.:cup:

Look ya'll I have been hair lazy this week. Just been moisturizing and sealing. I get like this every now & then. I will probably do my hair on Saturday. I felt I couldn't go that long without detangling so I did detangle on dry hair last night. Well it had been loaded up with Hairveda's Hydrasilica Spritz that morning and then I spritzed each section again. I know :look: overkill. Anyways it was the easiest detangle ever. Comb just glided through and lost minimal hair. I'm still on the fence about the hydrasilica because I feel like it coats my hair. It's not sticky or gummy but it seems like there is some oil in there but I can't find any oil listed on the label. It keeps my hair moisturized throughout the day and I feel like I get a bit of shine with it too. IDK this may not be for everyone but I think I will most likely stick with it.

This is what I said about Hydrasilica before. The last few times I have used it I didn't feel that coated feeling as much. Maybe me and my hair needed to get used to it. I like it alot.

Thanks Girl, for the Re-post. I will throw it in the Cart. I had looked at it before, but couldn't decide if it was something I would be interested in. And that Paranu (sp) Green Tea Conditioner. I know Charz said it Stank smelled like "Paint" (which I don't have a real problem with smells:lachen:especially if it's "working) and she didn't like it, but I read where alot of other women said they actually like it (so still unsure on that one):ohwell:.

Girl, I was "Salty":barf: but it couldn't be helped. I read one post where this Girl said she DC'd & Baggyed for like 7 days.:barf: Moldy Hair:lachen:

Loved Clarifying. May go back to doing it monthly. When I was phony-bunning I did it at least twice a month to remove all that Gel, Serum etc....Love how products work afterwards. May do it monthly to rid myself of all the oils, butters, spritzes, sprays.....:drunk:

*i notice that green tea conditioner is no longer on the hairveda site. scratch that*

I know it's hard to keep up with all this stuff we talk about on here but the Green Tea Conditioner is from Afroveda. I was thinking about trying it too. What works for one my not work for another. Also I saw one person used it as a dc rather than a cowash condish.

Does the hydrasilica have a smell that lasts? And do you just use it for moisture for your body or like a body spray also.
Click to expand...

The scent is not as long lasting as a regular body spray. It's nice and very light. I just use it for moisture.:yep:

IDareT'sHair said:
B! (and others) How do you like it for the Hair? And how are you using it?:look:

*hmf..may have to add to the list if ya'll like it that much*:look:

Will read back through thread.:rolleyes:
Click to expand...

It actually works good on my hair, too. I don't use it regularly on my hair, though. Only because I love the shescentit Moisture Mist so much.
 
I had already made the decision about the MHC Molasses Deep Hydrating condish but when I washed it out that put the nail in the coffin. My hair felt like it hadn't been dc'd at all and this was after it had been in my hair all night and steaming :nono:.

I want to try Jessicurl's Weekly Deep Treatment (WDT). I hear it is pretty good. I also like that if I fall in love with it I can order it by the gallon :yep:.

You'd think that the molasses would help it. Ive heard ladies using regular molasses with really good results. Molasses and coconut milk.

You would think. My hair has thickened up significantly over the past year. It had thinned out due to self relaxing for years. Every bad thing you weren't supposed to do when self relaxing...I did :nono:. So because my hair has gotten thicker (I've broken 4 hair clips and a barrette this week) it is most likely harder to condition & moisturize my hair. That's why I'm on a hunt. There will be no setbacks here :nono:. I'm thinking of trying Curl Junkie products too. Honey Fig & Curlmart will be the end of me :spinning:. I looove having all those different products in one place to cut down on shipping.

I used up Aussie Moist, Qhemet's Cocoa Detangling Ghee, and the Molasses Condish. I would buy Aussie Moist in a pinch because it is an awesome condish but not natural. So only if I have too. Of course no to the Molasses Condish. I will repurchase the detangling ghee at some point. Maybe during Qhemet's BF sale.

Thank you ms. b i had already placed my order for vatika frosting and soap bars for my skin, they should be here next week, So i will wait until i order again from there to get some hydrasilica spritz. That would be something for me to use in the mornings after my shower when im running late.

Your hair will thicken up more as you get longer into your transition. How long have you stretched for before? The new growth will take over, so having thick conditoners and dc's will make your hair more managable as you get further along in your journey.:yep: I wish curlmart sold tw products and natural butters i would be in heaven. 1 stop shopping, they already have elucence.

The longest I've stretched before is 6 months that's why I am getting my arsenal ready. I already placed my Honey Fig order. Dayum the shipping is steep :blush:. I decided not to get the Curl Junkie bc it is pointless and a waste of money IMO to try a dc that only comes in a 8 oz container because I would constantly be restocking.

I forgot to mention my hair does love coconut milk. I cowash with it. I'm thinking of possibly trying out coconut cream concentrate too. I also just got this recipe for doing an amla treatment that uses coconut milk.

Ooopss! You're right!:blush: Thanks Girl. Too many Products....So little time....

Yes, In My Mix-Master Dayz I used both of these. However...ummm...not together.

And they both do work very well.

Shay, I say go ahead and get the Coconut Cream Concentrate especially since you like the milk. It's very nice as well. Very moisturizing.

*looks at several cans of milk & concentrate in kitchen cabinet for next wash day*:grin:
 
Chello ladies :)
today I went to the senbeb stor to get some qhemet. They only had the honey balm, gee and the heavy cream. I already have the heavy cream and my honey balm and gee on the way. I didn't want to walk out empty handed so I got the gee and some natures blessings pomade which smells like grease lol but has great ingredients.
