I guess you can say my hair is allergic, it gets dry and brittle and breaks to the touch with coconut oil. This has always been a mystery to me as to why that happens with my hair. I mean it gets so bad with it that if you touch it, it breaks, that bad. Ive experimented a few times with it and its just not worth it. The last time i used something with coconut oil it took me over a week to get my hair back to normal. It acts like a hardcore protein with my hair. I know some people don't like coconut oil because it doesn't moisturize their hair but i have never heard of anyones hair breaking like mine. I think she substitues with sweet almond and castor oil. sorry so long.

I have a little corner left of herbal green tea butter that i will use up today. And i have one jar for back up, when its all gone i won't repurchase anymore. Texas naturals has a macha green tea butter that i want to try. I love the product and it makes my hair really soft but like ive said before im getting impatient with the wait times.

no im not on a e-mail list. i saw it on the oyin website and its also on scandalous beauty blog. im not sure if the products are going to be on sale but the are introducing honey water which i think is a body spray and something else i cant remember. i know they arent for hair though lol. and they are formaly introducing the 33oz size of honey hemp conditioner. i got mine when i went about 2 weeks ago so im good on that.
@Charz, ya know, im not liking my whipped pudding anymore either. not because of the smell but because it doesnt make my hair feel like other moisturizers do. i held off on buying the 8oz of afroveda cocolate and i now i wish i would have gotten it. i didnt because i felt like i had too many moisturizers but now that i no longer like the whipped pudding and my curls whipped cream is being called into question i should have purchased it. oh well when she comes back from where ever i will get the big jar.
so far the only moisturizers that i know i will keep are
kbb hair cream
my shea butter and coconut oil mix
quemet biologics amla and olive heavy cream
afroveda cocolatte moisture mask

oddly when i use the coconut oil my mom brought back from 'home', my hair HATES it. I cannot mix it in anything, it acts just like yours. When I was doing an Amla/Shikakai rinse I added some vatika oil, a little too much too, my hair was in heaven. I know I was taking a risk because the powders make my hair kinda dry on their own and the oil chews my hair like gum.

I forgot that I have Alter Ego Garlic Tx until Monday night. I steamed with it. I like this stuff I really do but I am trying to cut down where I order from and I refuse to pay $34.99 for it from Beauty of NY. I know there is a $19.99 one but I want the big one. I think I will stick with my Nutrine Garlic Condish & Poo and my pills and be done with it. I may actually try to make something for this so I can do a treatment every now & again.
I will not be buying shampoo or shampoo bars any time soon. Seriously I only shampoo 2x month. Once to clarify, the other just to clean. I use a cleansing powder mix once a week so no need to poo anymore. After I use up what I have I think I will just use a shikakai bar. Shoot that stuff is strong. Can't it be used as a clarifier? What do you think Aggie? If so, I would only shampoo with this bar 1x/month. Oh yeah I won't be buying the Nutrine poo any more either.

Did you get samples of the products that aren't working before you got the larger sizes? If not hun take it from me, it will save you money in the long run trying samples of products first. I learned this the hard way. Now i won't buy anything unless i can get a sample first.

i should have. i didnt try samples of the whipped pudding but i loved it for the first 2 months i had it. i think its a matter of thinking its love until love actually comes along lol. thats exactly what happend with curls whipped cream. i loved loved loved that stuff. but then i noticed how my hair was supposed to feel and it seemed like the whipped cream only worked sometimes, so now i dont even want to use it. but i keep looking at it like "but i used to love you". i want to keep it the same way i want to keep an old boy friend around lol. maybe one day it will change.

You Make an Excellent Point. I currently have the Large (8oz): Qhemet Burdock Root, Amla & Olive & Honey in My Cart.

Maybe I should back it out and get the 2 oz $5.50 sizes first?

I understand exactly how you feel. I have been there, i buy something use it awhile and then it stops working for me. But i did not try samples first also. That's was a big problem of my pj'ism, not because it was raved about or it worked well for some one else it worked well for me for a bit
then i would buy more products it became a cycle. Now this time around i will get samples first and usually you get enough for a few good uses to see if you like it and to see if it really works.

If it was me i would try the samples first. Im just saying this from experience i have wasted too much money to not share with you ladies what ive been through. If these product really work for your hair you will know by the time the samples are gone. And if its not doing what it says it will do by that time you will know that too.

I was sorting and organizing products and realized that my use up & try it piles are not that big. Very doable. I am excited by that. Granted there are some new things I have yet to order but at least they won't be added to a humongous (sp?) stash. It has helped that I do something with my hair 5x wk. That will change in a few weeks to 3x/wk. Then it will take longer to use up. I'm heavy handed too. Also I started working on the pjism early in the game. I'd be so scared to think where I would be if I had been at this a few years.

Maybe that's What I better do

At times, we kinda haff-way fall off the wagon and lose our minds......but we always come back, pull it in and get right back on track.
