You are So Not a Lost Cause. We are all in this thing together. The Answer is Not Buying More Stuff.erplexed

*Shut Up Charz*

How is the Kozama Working out? What are you using from them? Let's Talk. So far, what differences have you found between that and TW?

Girl as long as your using stuff up, don't beat yourself up about it. If you stick to sample sizes you will be ok.

I'm the same. I just ordered a sample pack of butters from here:

www.gardenofwisdom.com

They have mowrah butter. The thing is when you actually click on mowrah to buy it by itself and not part of the sample pack it doesn't look available. It doesn't say out of stock or anything. I also noticed if you click on the information list about shelf life & uses they show more butters. Some are still available to purchase and some are not. You can pay with paypal though. I will get the sample pack then go from there. I got jojoba butter, mowrah, and caucap....(whatever, I don't know how to spell it). I would have gotten mumuru (sp?) but that is on back order.

Hey LC: The moisturizing cream, how is that for you? Do you get build up after applying it after a while?

I didn't like it. My natural hair is way too thick to get down with that stuff.

I could see if you wanted to grease your scalp or if you just had a fresh new relaxer using this stuff. But I think most people's new growth wouldn't take it!

My hair is still soft, no problems, the komaza and the tw are kind of similar for me but i like the tw shampoo, both of thier rinse out conditioners can be used as dc's but komaza's conditoner is better than tw, but they are moisturizing. Komazas conditoner has more slip and the smell is great. I will use both lines to rotate and not get bored.

Thanks shay i have to check them out.

Hey LC: The moisturizing cream, how is that for you? Do you get build up after applying it after a while?

Charz i don't know yet i have only used it once, last night but i only used a little per each section of hair, i used it to seal in the leave in and mist just a light coating. I don't feel any build or stickiness, if that changes i will let you know.

What do you all think about Hairveda Almond Glaze?

I liked the almond glaze for a sealer but i just got tired of the waiting times, the product is good and it helps slick the edges back.

Okay...That's Exactly How I'll use it. Thanks.

Love it . Yeah it is for greasing my scalp because it did not tame my new growth my first stretch. I haven't tried to use it for that purpose since then. I will try it later in my transition to see what happens. Things may have changed.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

It Smells Wonderful. I got some from Brownie. And I want to make sure I use it correctly.

I also think my us Circulating Products amongst ourselves, it helps curb some of that PJ-ism too.

At least for Me, it Has.

 

[Brownie518]

Hey, ya'll. Just passing through, seeing what's up.

I actually used some stuff this week. I finished my Shescentit Fortifying conditioner. I won't get anymore for now but I will repurchase sooner or later. I also finished a jar of Natural Oasis balm. I have enough balms for now (Essential Balms, Black & Bossie) so I don't need to repurchase for now.

All ya'lls conversations in here got me wandering all over the web wanting to order stuff! I'm fighting it, though. For now. Well, I am about to get a pretty wrap. That's it, though.

Hi Brownie!

Good Girl. Keep Using Up Stuff.

Chile...You Ain't Playin'

You Da' Bomb!

 

[Brownie518]

Hey, T!!! I'm tryin' here, you know? Still got stuff in the stash that I need to get rid of. But I certainly don't feel a way about buying new stuff. I just don't want to back slide and end up where I was. I loooooove getting new stuff!!!

Amen, your doing a good job brownie, keep it up.

 

[Brownie518]

So, I ordered a pretty wrap just now. I hope I like it. It sounds like just what I need, though.

Umm, I also ordered some other stuff this week. I got some KBB Deep Conditioner, some CPR, Hair One Olive Oil, and GVP Anti Snap. And a huge pack of plastic caps.

[IDareT'sHair]

Yeah...I'm 'bout to be on Slo' Mo' too.

I have Great Products! And there really isn't anything I want or need.

So, Imma try to "chill" and wait for Black Friday. I already gave ya'll my list. i.e.Qhemet, Hairveda, and if I like the sample of Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade I get from Charz, I may order more of that. Oh and some JBCO.

Right now: I'm on Chill-Mode.

Imma just see what Ya'll doin'

Im trying to do the math on how much komaza i should get. They don't have large sizes, how long does winter last anyway? I don't know if i should get 2 or 3 of each thing. That's all im doing right now and going back and forth to afroveda like a stalker.

You'll have about from Mid-November until Early April.

You know Afroveda has that little teeny-tiny 5% coupon.

Mama fitt'na to send you some of that DC.

That's my problem too with my restocking list. When they don't have the larger sizes what do you order? Also 6 months is a looooooooooong time. For me I guess I can make the decision regarding how many products to order based on size and how many others I am rotating? The thing is I fear running out....I'll probably order too much . I'm in use it up mode so I can't really take notes on how long it takes to use up a product in rotation.

Yes 6 months is a long time, its hard to determine the komaza because i have samples. I don't know if i run i out i still won't order until april. Im just going to have to take a wild guess or ration it out if it gets low. When my winter stash is together im done until spring. I won't order in the winter time. And also shelf life, if it lasts a year i will be ok. With this challenge i should have no problem using stuff up. To the second bolded maybe you can judge by how much you use when you use the product like 1 oz each time ect. Then if its 8oz you know you would get 8 uses out of it. Its just an example but maybe it will help you.

And ps shay you know we use conditoner faster than anything. I fogot about that. And shampoo or shampoo bars slower.

Ok so you know those will last a long time. I don't know how much stuff you got but you know that you will need more of what you use the quickest.
