Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

[La Colocha]

Its taking me so long to use things up right now, what with washing once a week and using the same products each week. I got rid of so much extra stuff and now that I am back to using the same products consistently, I see my hair responding. It loves it!! My niece is going to visit some of her friends at college in VA so I gave her a lot of stuff to take. That helped get the stash down a little more. I'm going to do another 'recon' on my stash this week while i'm on vacation, see how much extra I really have now. I don't think it will be too much. (fingers crossed)

I'm going to do my hair Wednesday night, and I think I'll do it again on Sunday night, since I'll be off. Get into the swing of the Deep Conditioning Challenge!!

Your doing a good job miss b, i think we all joined the dc challenge and that will help get rid of some things.

And even at the "Salons"

Girl who you tellin, im not saying all stylists but alot ain't worth 2 drops of pee, and people listen to them like its the word of god.

amen!!!!!!!!!!! Im so happy that I found LHCF.

This is the biggest problem for me and i think a majority of us, i live in the middle of corn fields so yall already know. Im trying to get some natural products here but i really don't think they want to sell them. Now hear me out because im going left field. If they started selling natural products or even decent products, and women get their hair healthy, what will happen to the bss? And i can't speak for no one elses bss but the only good products ive seen there are mizani,kera care, and a few other lines, some of that stuff in there isn't fit to put on a dog but people are buying it because that's all they know. Alot of women don't know about quality products, hell i didn't know before i found the hair boards and its sad. Sorry so long.

100% of the stylists I have gone to dont know anything about hair care! I mean...come on...what stylist would help someone take out a sew in and let them color and relax allllllll on the same day (ive seen this happen so many times). these stylists are out for $$$$ and will do anything to anyones head to get their money. im really trying to be a DIY'er because everytime I left the salon I would be pissed off! Just yesterday this woman was YANKING at my hair to detangle it . I also got the "mami you need a relaxer" speech . Im patiently waiting for a few things to come in the mail so I can do it allllll by myself.

Random - I really like the Shescentit Avocado conditioner. I got the new formula the other day. That will be a sure repurchase. I'll get the larger size next time, like I did with the Green Tea & Hibiscus!

I have a big size too Brownie. I use this on my son's hair. I love it. It makes my hair so silky.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Yeah, I know For Me, in 2010, Imma hafta approach my Entire Hair Care thing Totally Different and Focus less on purchasing products and more on getting results from the stuff I have.

IK I have a 2 year membership, but I was just looking critically at my hair, IK I'll be here a good 3-4-5 Years tryin' to get somewhere!

So, I need to get off the Product Buying Kick and Get into the Results Getting Kick and Settle In real comfortable like for the Long Haul., because honestly, it's going to take me a Minute.

I like SSI fortifying mask. I am going to add it as a protein conditioner with AOGPB.

 

[mkd]

Reading the thread on HV cocasta oil, I hope I get some in my bag.

 

[chebaby]

ok i see now that if im gonna keep doing braid outs i will be doing my hair twice a week(co washing). which isnt a bad thing because it'll make sure my hair stays moisturized.

i want to try shescentit avocado conditioner too but i'll wait for that. .

You ain't never lied. There is one thing also that i never paid attention to when i used to go. THEIR HAIR. My stylists hair was broke off and burnt up, but she knew best. Whatever she told me to do i did. If i ever go back again, i will pay attention to her hair and the other peoples hair she is doing before i even consider making an appointment.

 

[chebaby]

well i know i aint never stepping foot in another salong in my life. the last lady who took care of my hair kept my hair looking real nice but she would rake through my hair like it was nothing.
i MIGHT go to a salon in a year or two to get a cut because with the dange in the front my hair is messed up lmao. but thats a big might, and thats in a couple of years lmao.


i am another lover of cocasta oil. matter of fact im gonna use it tonight instead of jbco like i planed.

 

[mkd]

Che, are you going to self trim? I am scurred to try that . It would be a great skill!

 

[robot.]

I think my X-mas gift to myself is going to be a nice shescentit shopping spree.

 

[chebaby]

Che, are you going to self trim? I am scurred to try that . It would be a great skill!

honestly i dont plan on trimming at all until i reach full sl. the only area i am trimming/cutting is the heat damage part.
and yes i will do it myself. dont know how yet but i bet youtube will show me lmao.

Go Try the Wig On and See. Of Course I didn't

I bought it and "quickly" left the store.

And You're Right, it does sorta make you feel self-concious. I didn't have it on the other night when BabyBoy came over.

I may have to get a real long one for that(Fun Times)

But, Imma Do what I gotta Do (For Now).

And See where it gets me.erplexed

I've been thinking about getting a wig too...I know I would be soooooo self conscious. They do have a nice semi-private area in the back where you can try them on, so maybe I'll at least do that.

I did get a phony bun, which I love, so I think I'll buy more of those. And, maybe a phony pony. I did buy a curly/natural one for Halloween, but maybe I can use it...I don't know, think I'd be too self-conscious. We'll see.

I'm trying to do protective styles with pins (Good Hair Days) and clips (Goody Ouchless Clips) only and not use ponytail holders, because I think even the Ouchless holders and nylons might be causing problems, at least until I get to APL. So, a wig would be perfect for the no ponytail holder look. Not sure. We'll see.

 

[panamoni]

I just need maybe 2 DCs that I like. I like AOHSR and AOWC but I don't love them. I definitely want to keep banana brulee in my rotation and I want 2 others. After that, I am straight. I think I will have my staples then. Like Che said, I really wish I could get stuff locally but there are only a few select things I can find.

MKD, Can you describe the difference between the two? I have AOHSR which I should be finishing up soon and I think it's ok. What's WC like?

 

[La Colocha]

Good day ladies, im going to finish my califa conditoner mix today with dcing. Also instead of selling the things i was going to sell im going to put them up in case i want to use them later. So after i finish my miapella im going to strictly use my shea butter i got from peaceloveandsunshine as my main moisturizer. Im putting up jcns and darcys twisting cream also my coffee butter and hibiscus oil. They at least have a year shelf life so if i want to revisit them ill have them put up. I will change my prepoo to olive butter, avocado butter or jbco.

Errr, if you do end up selling anything, let yo peeps know in advance....I'm just sayin

I sure will, im putting them up for now so i won't have to rebuy them if i want to go back to them. But if anything changes ill send out pm's.

Pana, to me the AOHSR is a lot heavier than the AOWC. The AOWC is hit or miss for me. Sometimes my hair likes it a lot and sometimes my hair does not feel as moisturized with it. I like them both but I think I like HSR just a little bit better.

 

[chebaby]

i used up my honey hemp last night and sold a few things. like La, im putting some things away. i will start using my butters as pre poos too.

 

[mkd]

Che, I saw your thread on the exchange forum and thought to myself, Miss Che wasn't playing about selling stuff

I know. I believe in late x-mas gifts.

Anyway, I got second day hair! For the first time!

Yay! With the Afroveda Jelly Right?

 

[robot.]

Yep.

I don't mind the crunch now that I think it serves a purpose. I slept and my curls were still there, just mashed. I spritzed with some water and was out the door!

 

[redecouvert]

used up my kbb luscious hair mask, giving a lot of hair products to lil sis ..told her to bring very little clothes...working on finish christine gant hair butter....I think I might not repucharse it and just repurchase the hair oil
but then it left my hair soo fabulous..all i did was touch my hair the entire day

 

[chebaby]

urggggg my hair is not soft. well thats not totally true. my hair is not as soft as i like. i dont know why, i deep conditioned, co washed all with moisture, added a ton of leave in and oil and then braided with curls whipped cream and sealed with jojoba oil. this morning when i realized my hair wouldnt be as soft i put in a good amount of TW mist sealed with shea butter and my hair still isnt as soft.
so tonight im going to drench my hair in ojon mist and braid with my shea butter mix(which im going to melt again and mix in more evoo lol).

i hate for my hair to not be so moisturized because i have color on my ends and i need my hair to feel drenched in order to be calm. now i keep feeling my ends and shaking my head lol. im going to be a wreck all day worried about these ends.

on a good note. i also used natures gate pomegrante conditioner for color treated hair and i love it. it is very moisturizing and my hair was so shiny and the uncolored part looked so black. im loving it. it will be a repurchase when im done with it.
