[La Colocha]

I will be giving away some products too. When i have the time. I will post here first when i do.

 

[chebaby]

[chebaby]

I can't wait!!!



I guess I started some mess in here tonight!!! You all are too funny!!!

Seriously,though, giving this stuff up really helps me out. I have really started noticing the difference in the size of my stash. I actually went in and reorganized and pulled out a few more things I need to do something with. I still haven't even tried my new Coco Creme from Shescentit.

Oh, I used up a bottle of Hydratherm Growth Lotion. I used the last of my small bottle of PM The Conditioner, also. Definite repurchase on both. I have one or two uses left of my liter of L'anza Kukui Nut conditioner, which is a repurchase at some point.

 

[Shay72]

Seriously, I don't need anything....I'm waiting to see what LC has!!!

I have some hurveda. I will post when im able to get a box at the post office. I haven't used up anything else yet. I did finish a bottle of moist 24/7 last night. I don't know what will be next. Ive been working late and i don't feel like doing my hair. But im going to force myself to do it. My mom is coming in town today so i might have her put cornrows in my hair to last for a week or 2.

If you have any cocasta oil........I'll take it! I tried some yesterday that I got in a swap! It was awesome, my hair is so soft.

 

[Brownie518]

Well, I was just looking through this box I found and there was a full bottle of Hydratherma Oil! Not to mention two bottles of Global Goddess oil, a bottle of clear Luminous Glaze, Shescentit Green Tea Avocado oil and the Jojoba Hair Milk. Oh, and a small tube of Terax Crema. I don't know what's going on here. Where is all this stuff coming from?

 

[Charz]

Guys if you had to use products from only 5 brands, which brands would you use?

I wanna narrow it down to 3-5 brands.

Did you get your afroveda products yet?

 

[Aggie]

I cowashed my hair this morning because I will be getting some extension braids tomorrow and I want clean hair for that. I did use up my remaining HE HH Conditioner and the last drop of Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner as a leave in. It's time to replenish this. I love this stuff.

Don't You feel really Good about Using Up Stuff. I know I do. And also giving stuff away.

It is actually quite Liberating....because You can Always Find someone that can use or wanted something and it just happen to be something you had.

It is Such a Blessing to be Able to "Give"

i just used some of mine last night and today. that stuff is amazing. my relaxed hair loveda it and now my natural hair cant get enough. i may have to purchase a 16oz bottle because i know i will be using mine as a pre poo, mixed in deep conditioners and as a sealant. last night i didnt even moisturize, just through some on my hair and omg it was like cotton.

Or some Methi Sativa Tea

 

[chebaby]

Did you get your afroveda products yet?

nope not yet. she sent me an email on monday @ 3am saying it was shipped out so i exspected to get it today. maybe tomorrow. did you get yours?


if i had to use five products they would be:
oyin honey hemp conditioner
oyin juices and berries
hairveda cocasta oil
kbb hair milk
shea butter


of course i would be going crazy though because i need my coconut oil and at least one good moisturizer that is not shea butter lol.


oh i see i didnt answer the questions right.
ok if i could only have five brands they would be:
oyin
kbb
afroveda
shescentit
hairveda

A couple of updates:
I used my baby daddy last night--Moist 24/7--and almost lost my mind. I really need to stop cheating on him.

I finally got an e-mail from Claudie. I think I will go with it because I feel I really need a protein dc and I want that edges balm. Shoot and I had just made up my "growth oil". I will tell ya'll what's in it but not measurements bc it maybe the new ish and I need to guard my actual recipe. I put JBCO, Gro Aut oil, Afroveda's Shikakai Growth Elixir, and Mahabhrinraj oil (sp?) in it.

Final verdict on Hairveda's Shikakai bar--My hair airdried soft so it's a keeper.

5 product lines (ETA a 6th line):
Hairveda
Afroveda
Qhemet Biologics
Carol's Daughter
Njoi Creations
Oyin Handmade

I use more than 1 product from each of these lines.

Hey, Char. I've got some...

 

[Shay72]

Finished a jar of CD's Black Vanilla Smoothie. I have 1 back up. It will go on the restock list.

 

[chebaby]

i cant wait to get home tonight so i can saturate and massage my scalp with my cocasta oil. i remember when i was relaxed it seemed to make my hair thicker so i will use it and see if it thickens my hair. castor oil is in this oil too so maybe....

and i cant wait for this weekend so i can purchase some giovanni direct leave in. i want to see how good it is and if i like it then that is two all natural leave ins that i can buy locally and dont have to go online fore.

i think the only thing i will be using up this week is my hairveda whipped gelly. and then i can finally move on to using my afroveda pur whipped gelly.

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies, i haven't used up anything else. I probably won't for a while. I hope everyone is doing ok. Keep up the good work. Ill try to check in with you guys everyday. Work is kind of crazy for me right now so you ladies help encourage each other and hold down the fort. Ill be able to post more this weekend.

 

[Charz]

Hey, Char. I've got some...

Girl.....if you ever wanna get rid of it, I will take it off your hands

 

[Shay72]

I forgot to mention I used up the rest of that trifling Afroveda's Cocnut Moisture Milk condish. I won't repurchase.

Do any of her conditioners have slip?

 

[chebaby]

i got my afroveda in the mail. im going to use the hemp seed lock twist and roll butter tonight to twist my hair. im going to do a protein treatment too because my hair is to feel too soft.

i recieved my shea amla butter from brownie(thanx girl) but the ingredients are different than the one i have. i think mala made a buch of changes to her products a while ago.

and i cant wait until her store re9opens because i really want the cocolatte and the ashlii aamal and the miss bhree cream.

 

[Charz]

My package came today from Afroveda too! But I'm at work till 5:30, and then I have LSAT prep class 6-10pm.

My FH was like "You want me to bring your products when I pick you up huh?"

Sigh, if he had time I would have had him open up all the products and tell me how they smell
