OK Ya'll We Need to think of a way to Get Us Some Anita Grant!

So....Which one of Ya'll is Gon' Fly to London and Bring Us Some Back?

Any Volunteers?

It would be cheaper than paying for all that Crazy Ignat Shipping.

*jk*

 

[Charz]

Maybe we can order together or something.

 

[chebaby]

im interested in almost everything anita grant has. even the banana face mask. i want all the pomades and butters and the oils too. and i want that conditioner block and the babassu shampoo bar.

I want to order on B.F. (and not until). We just came off'a Mad, Crazy, Stupid Ordering Binge this week.

You need to use up and re-connect with some of that stuff you got and hate already that hasn't even arrived yet?lachen:

 

[chebaby]

i forgot this challenge is about using it up and only buying what i need. so anita is out.
but i am still getting the afrodetangler and the afroveda shea amla and coclatte butter and then thats it. no more.

im serious now. no more.
you just watch and see.

Girl don't get the oils. You can get them cheaper at FNWL.

Anyway do you take paypal?

Ill have my list ready...

 

[chebaby]

lmao @Charz. i decided not to get it. i mean, even if i liked it i would never order it again because of the shipping price.
i'll just stick with kbb and afroveda and oyin.

 

[Charz]

Me neither....I just wanted to be "in"

[IDareT'sHair]

Let's Save Our Money/Credit or Whatever.....And Seriously Consider Putting in an Order on Black Friday!

That's what I am proposing/interested in doing.

What do Ya'll think?

 

[Shay72]

Every time I come in this thread !

Speaking of Darcy's I used the Madagascar Vanilla Styling Cream and I like it. It's a keeper. I really like the consistency. Now the smell is a bit strong like it's got too much vanilla extract in it even though she doesn't have vanilla extract in it. Don't say nothing--I know that doesn't make any sense. Technically I'm supposed to be off the market for what I call "hair grease" now but I do have those butters coming from Char. Char are they from www.thesage.com? Also although I haven't tried the leave in I'm thinking it should be a keeper. I did some comparisons between it and Giovanni Direct which I love and they are quite similar. Darcy's looks just like it just a little bit lighter. The transitioning creme looks thick so I'm thinking it will work as a daily moisturizer.

I've decided I will no longer purchase the Roots of Nature Green Tea Shea Butter Deep Reconstructor which I get from either Beauty of New York or CVS. I will also no longer buy BPT Wheat Conditioning Cream. I got this from Beauty of New York. The only other product I get from there is JBCO. I wonder if Vitacost carries it? If not, I do have my Cocasta & Shikakai oil. In terms of protein I know I have it covered. I'm definitely going to try Che's avocado recipe. I've also decided I will no longer use Nutrine Garlic either. I figure I can use Aggie's garlic treatment recipe. No that I think about it I got that from Beauty of New York too. They are losing in all kinds of way . They are great with customer service and shipping though.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Shay, Why are you deciding not to repurchase BPT Wheat Conditioning Cream? I was going to try that!erplexed

Although I love, love, love Ms. Key Trigo D' German Wheat Germ DC Treatment.

I was going to compare the 2? Give Me Details.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Okay Ya'll....Where's La Colocha? Americka? iNicola? Brownie?

They's probably somewhere buying something.

IK Aggie's on vacation (so she gets a pass). Where's the rest of 'em?

 

[chebaby]

i forgot im almost done with my ojon revitalizing mist. man i love that stuff. i got the big bottle off of hsn or qvc i think its 16oz and its lasted forever. i stopped using it for a while because i was getting low so i used juices and berries. im going to use it tonight though before i re-twist my hair. i wont repurchase it though because its so exspensive. but i will surely miss it. i may get someone to get it for me for my b-day. but its so good. i dont even have to add water to it to get the results i like. man thats gonna be a sad day when i run out.

also remember back when i did my first set of twists? ya know way back last week lol. i used afroveda hemp butter. i used that stuff all over my head and you know i didnt even put a dent in the jar. that stuff will last forever.

and i think i know whats been causing my hair to be too soft. my shea butter mix. everytime i use it my hair ends up being so light and fluffy.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Che! You are getting me confused about which Afroveda I want? I thought I wanted the Shea Amla. Now you've mentioned the Chocolatte and now the Hemp!

OK: Which One do I want? I am only getting one b/c I want that Ashlii DC.

Help!

Oh I love it but I'm trying to go as natural as possible and cut back on products and vendors. I just feel like a lot of these products may not work on my natural hair so I figure cut it out now!

I finished the TJ Tea Tree Tingle condish.

Update on the cassia. When I started doing ayurveda I was hesitant because I didn't want it to darken my naturally reddish brown hair. It did. A couple days later after the cassia I'm looking at my hair and I'm starting to see my reddish brown. I've been using a lot of honey lately too so that helps too. I've gotta get vatika frosting back into my routine too because that has helped but I've been so busy using up. I also have these henna condishes that I hope will help too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Good....You are seeing Your Reddish-Brown Hues again! Keep Me posted on the Cassia, you said you had enough for one more treatment correct?



And...Ya'll Go Post in my TGIF Thread!

Shay....sorrry....I put you on Blast in that Thread!

Yes, I will do another treatment in November. Girl, let me go see what you talking bout....

lol. the shea amla is and the cocolatte is and the hemp butter is .

but honestly i would get the shea amla. it has a slight hold to it so you can use it to twist and get definition the same way you would with the hemp butter. the hemp butter is moisturizing but its sooooooooo thick that the only way i will use it is on twist or braids.
the cocolatte is good but i find that the moisture subsides way faster than the moisture from shea amla.

 

[Shay72]

Dang, Che why you mention Afrodetangler and I don't see a lot crazy ingredients in it either. The site seem informative too.

Can I use it if I'm Relaxed?

 

[chebaby]

Can I use it if I'm Relaxed?

sure. its a moisturizer so im sure it would be great for your ends. but it has aloe juice or gel(cant remember which) high on the ingre. list. thats why i think it give definition.

 

[Brownie518]

Njoi Creations products are great. I learned about her products from this site and Im HOOKED. I love love LOVE the ayurvedic hair butter. my hair feels stronger and thicker since Ive been using it.

So do I!!!!

 

[Brownie518]

I want some Anita Grant!!!! Free shipping, but I have to spend 90 bucks. Sigh

I want some, too!!! Every month I check in there and fill up my cart and get nothing. But I really want to try some of her goodies!!!

On another note, I did finish a Jehan Preshampoo Oil from shescentit. I should have repurchased when she had her sale the other day but I held off. I'll probably get more when I reup on the Moisture Mist. I resisted ordering anything. Well, I did get some Komaza Scalp Nourishment.


off to check out those etsy links...

 

[La Colocha]

Goodmorning ladies, i haven't used up anything still. I should recieve my tw products and komaza today. I should be using up stuff, in the next few weeks. Im going to be doing a testing for this month and maybe the rest of october to see which products will be a repurchase. I won't be doing a review until they are almost gone unless its something horrible. I will use 1 line per week and rotate. That way i will be absolutely sure that i like the products, I want to order in bulk (liters) by november of the products that are good if any.

 

[Americka]

Last night, I used up a bottle of VO5 Moisture Milks. I don't think I will be re-purchasing. I would like to incorporate a conditioner like Giovanni Smooth as Silk and leave the cheapies alone. I shall see...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Ya'll Happy Friday! It looks like none of ya'll are on yet??? Anyway, I got my Henna Releasing now (w/ACV) and will use it this evening.

Co Washing with my Hemp Seed Oil Conditioner. And I think DC'ing Steaming with either Alter Ego or Keratase Oleo Relax?

$60.00 For that Keratase.....definitely don't think I'll be replacing that one.erplexed

I mean if it sang to me while it was in my hair..that would be one thing, I mean it's just okay...it's just a'right. The AE (and some others I have) is just as good.erplexed

 

[Charz]

LC how do you know that you are protein sensitive?

 

[Charz]

Char are they from www.thesage.com?

Affirmative

[Shay72]

Good morning, I'm here. UPS was here to deliver my Alba Leave In ( I love their skin care products) which I am loving the thickness already. Also I got Giovanni Nutrafix Reconstructor. Liking the thickness of this also. I was a little disappointed it wasn't my regular UPS man .

I want to order in bulk (liters) by november of the products that are good if any.

Me too that's why I'm testing out products too.

I'm surprised you are washing your hair. When I texlax I'm lazy and don't do my hair for 2 weeks. I know what you mean about the expensive products--well I ain't paying $60 for no hair conditioner . I will pay $150 for a pail that lasts me a year though.--for that amount of money you expect that stuff to put itself on your hair. Just jump out the jar onto your head.
