I think I found a 'temporary' substitute for my Elasta QP Mango Butter. It's Black & Bossie All Natural Hair & Scalp Oil:

Aloe Vera, Biotin, Jojoba Oil, RNA, Vitamin B-5, A& E, Wheat Germ, Hydrolized protein, Cystin, Keratin, Bee Pollen and other natural ingredients in a Natural Base.

Those ingredients sound fabulous! Good find!

I can pick some up for you. Lemme know.

Henna is my baby's daddy.

I am so in love with it!!!! My FH (he's white) does it too.......first he wants to do clay masks with me and now this....lol

I know that if you use just one type or brand of product, our hair stops responding to it so I need a choice of about 3 or 4, maybe even 5 different brands to prevent this from happening.

ITA Aggie. I need at minimum 3-5 products in each category also. I order a lot online and I have a fear of running out of my staples. I've worked too hard to have a set back because I don't have what I need.

La Colocha & Brownie--I hear you I am trying to distract myself. You know what helps me? Going to take a look at my stash . Seriously sometimes it actually makes me mad.

 

[Shay72]

I am so sorry I missed it La Colocha. :birthday2

Both Of Ya'll Got Enough Products Right Now. Make an Inventory List. Start a Product Journal. Compile Your Fall/Winter Product "Wish Lists." Develop Your Updated Regimens, Since the Season is going to start to change soon.

There is more than enough to occupy your time that doesn't consist of buying new products....

Once You've successfully used up quite a few things, you won't feel so bad replenishing your Fall/Winter Stash.

IK....I'm just tryna' help!

Who, meeeeee?

Actually, I went through a lot of my stuff and made some categories. Stuff I know I will never use, opened products, and staple backups. I never want to throw stuff out but I'm boxing up the stuff I will never use and getting rid of it.
I did use up a Hydratherma Naturals Oil and I have backups of that staple. I might be able to use up a couple of other things this week. We'll see.

As for a wish list, I don't have too many things on it right now. Which is a good thing. This challenge is setting me straight.

 

[Shay72]

Oh yeah forgot to mention that my coworker really likes the Patene. It helps that she told me she heard the Nature Fusion line was voted the #1 Shampoo & Conditioner. I believe this was based on 14 days of use. So she wants to use it for 14 days and let me know. I have 3-4 more of the Smooth Vitality one since she is focusing on frizziness. But I'm thinking if she likes it a lot she will take the Moisture Balance ones too. I'm willing to hold onto them and give them out as needed. I will keep you up to date.

Good job ms.brownie, i had only one thing on my wish list and that was a bottle of s-curl and i got it yesterday. Other than that im doing good. I don't want anything else,

Im glad she likes it, its good that your able to get rid of some stuff.

I haven't used anything else up yet but im sticking to what i have and i have staples now that i love. I hope to continue down this path and grow healthy hair without breaking the bank.

My nails are starting to look horrible right now and I need something that will not only work on nails but my hair as well. So yesterday, I bought a 1oz bottle of Biosil to solve that problem.

My staples are running low so I also bought:

1 bottle of Rainbow Light Prenatal Just One Multi-vitamin (90 capsules).

1 16oz bottle of grapeseed oil for prepooing, adding to my deep conditioners and scalp massages. I usually make my MN mixture from this and I don't have anymore left.

2 Jars of Organic Coconut Oil - running low on this too.

1 bottle of Jason Natural Sea Kelp Conditioner - believe it or not, I am running low on my organic conditioners already. It's just that they work so well on my hair that I use them a lot now.

How Did you like that?

Really, it's only okay for my hair. I won't be repurchasing. It's really thick and needs to be warmed before applying, but I didn't feel like it penetrated the hair. It seemed to just sit on top. I mixed it last night with Shescentit's Super Soft Honey Rinse, some honeyquat, SAA, and Hemp oil, and my hair is like WHOA!! So delightful . So mixed it was grand, but by itself, you can get better for less.

I use to use their Bath Products and think I came across some of their "Hair Products" at either Marshall's or TJ Maxx and always "wondered" how their were.

So, Now I know Thanks for your Review.

Good job americka what didn't you like about it? Have you tried lustrasilk shea and mango cholesterol?

 

[Americka]

It may sound crazy, but I don't like the smell. I find the Le Kair and Lustrasilk are equal in terms of what I want them to do, but I love the scent of Lustrasilk's Shea and Mango. So I have made that my staple cholesterol. BUT ya'll have me wanting to try so many of the Hairveda and Shescentit products. I find myself wondering if these products would take my hair to the "next level."

 

[Aggie]

I'm contemplating doing a henna treatment either later today or on the weekend - don't know which yet. I have a little bit of kalpi tone and brahmi powders that I know will be used up in this next treatment I'm sure, so I'll update later on whatever else is used up.
