Yeah, Because you are coating your hair daily with various products (regardless if it is all natural stuff) or not. Co-Washing, using daily styling products (which I happen to be extremely heavy-handed with) all coat your Hair.:perplexed Even before I apply the 'Poo, I will rinse and rinse and rinse first.

My Hair is More Receptive to Products once it's Clarified. I have been noticing this for a while. It Grabs the Product and My Hair Reacts Better to it.:yep:

I think alot of people have the perception that it is only used to remove "cones" and that's why they shy away from clarifying, but actually IMO it is like "Detoxing" your Hair.:yep:

I never heard of clarifying until i came to this board. And its made a big difference for me. I try to time it 1x a month but sometimes i lose track. If my hair starts to feel coated when wet then i know its time to clarify. Its hard but i try not to mistake moisturized with greasy build up.
 
Yeah, For Those of Us that Baggy etc.....We Need to Clarify. All of that Creamy Stuff we Use ! The Gels, The Oils, The Spritzes & The Sprays, Pomades, Serums, Leave-Ins.... are all adhering to our Hair.:blush:

Choking the Life out of it.:look: Smothering..........

It just doesn't make good sense, not to clarify sometimes. IA: Once A Month is a Good Plan or whenever you "Feel" the Heaviness of Build Up.
 
i clarify with kenra. i used to like it because i always pre poo with conditioner. well this time i dont know what went wrong but my hair was not having it. i even deep conditioned overnight and my hair was soft but it didnt FEEL right. so now i just shampoo with black soap twice a week. it cleans my hair but it doesnt strip it.

i finished a bottle of my oyin J&B and water mix. i have two back ups. when im through with those i will move on to mixing my curls quench moisturizer with water.
i also finished my hairveda whipped gelly(its about time lmao). even though i like it i dont think i will repurchase.

im thinking of doing a wash and go shingle tomorrow with afroveda pur whipped gelly but i dont know yet. i cant wait to do my mid week co wash this week with the rest of my coconut milk. yep cant wait.

also i have decided(like just now) that i will no longer be using products that are not all natural or atleast 95% all natural.

this means no more suave tropical coconut conditioner or vo5 conditioner after i finish what i have.

I try to clarify once a month. Before joining this board I knew nothing of chelating and since Aloe Rid is a clarifier and chelator, I decided to try that. Boy, even with moisture DC my hair felt dry days after. I think i'll stick to my Pantene Purity clarifying poo from now on.
 
Morning Ladies, for those of you at Home today.

I, Like Shay, is on "Staycation" this Week, So I am at the Crib Chillin'. If anybody's home, Hit Me Back.:lachen:

I will more than likely finish up my Grapeseed & Avacado Oil's this week. I had purchased them when I was Mix-MasterT.:look:

So, I only have a little of each of those. Perhaps I should "mix them together" they both seem light enough for that? And eliminate one container.

I will consider a re-purchase on both once HOT Season Rolls around, but honestly, I think I have enough additional Oils to do HOTS On to probably get me through the Entire Winter.......i.e. jojoba, almond, soybean, sesame, macadamia nut, wheat germ, olive, coconut, vitamin e oil etc....:nono:

So, having said that, I'll just continue to try to use up stuff here.

So, Do you think you'll like the Komaza?

Hopefully! I got 4 bottles of the cleansing conditioner cuz it was half off.

I also got the olive mask, herbal oil and shea butter lotion sample. I am excited and I will be doing a review after I try them.
 
I think my hair might not like Aloe Vera as a moisturizer.

ETA: And I think Coconut Oil doesn't do anything for me.

I'm here hoping I can force myself up outta this joint today. I doubt it. I will probably head out tomorrow. Make a full day of it but get home before everybody else. I think that's the best part--not dealing with traffic and a bunch a people up in the stores. That's a joke bw me & mom. She has days off but she runs so many errands she ends up getting home at the same time as if she worked.

My hair is airdrying now. I think I did see some extra shine but we shall see.
 
She's a Very Smart Lady.:yep: And She's Absolutely Right. You can get so much done being off during the week and back at the Cut before people get off work.

I SO love being home During the Week.:love2:

I ended up ordering a few Butters from Texas Supply. They Have a Little 10%discount (for what it's worth) Code: TNS10
So, I got:

Almond 3 or 4 oz
Hemp Seed 3 or 4 oz
Macadamia 3 or 4 oz
Shea 7.5 oz
Avacado 7 or 8 oz

Which was a pretty good deal. So, I guess I am pretty much set with that. My Plan is to be "Buttered Up" All Winter.:lick:

Why are you tempting me:wallbash:??? See watch me talk my self out a few of them. Let's see I already have the Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter from Afroveda. I have hemp seed hairdressing from Karess Krafter. I have some shea butter I need to make stuff with. The macadamia & avocado may be calling my name.

You want these? I can send you them!
 
La Colocha -- Has Me Looking at Smaller Sized Stuff (Samples).:look:

I use to always immediately Super Size all my "Stuff" but now she has me totally re-thinking that.

That way, I get more variety and get to see "what" I like, instead of buying a Large Jar of Something and Not caring for it.:perplexed

If I have the smaller sizes and sample a variety, I can decide which ones worked best for me. So, I am willing to "try" the Samples for awhile.:ohwell:

That's why I got some of those in those 3 & 4 ounce sizes. I knew I really wanted the Avacado and the Shea, I just threw the other ones in to "try."

Decided to 'skip' the Mango because if the grittiness. Their prices are pretty decent. It's the Shipping that Hurts.:blush:
 
Good morning, ladies. :)

Hi iNicola! I'm so Glad You All Are Here:grin:

Yeah, those Butters Look/Sound Awesome.:yep:

I wanted to get all fancy and get Coffee and Orange and Lemon:nono: But decided to stick to the "basics" I made good choices. I think they had jojoba (I need to go see) I hope I didn't forget it.:perplexed
 
I've been looking at you tube to try & look at other people's shea butter recipes. I would like to pull from here and there and then make my own unique version.
 
The Good Thing about this particular Thread is we're so willing to share products. It's so totally Cool.:kiss: That we so willingly Pass Things On.

The Bad Thing: We Should all be in Rehab:help3:

I'd love to get feedback on those butter when you get around to using them. I'll see how the butter from Shescent it responds to DD hair (as well as mines) before making my own.

ETA: Ok, i'm off for awhile. Happy chatting ladies :)
