Hi ladies!

Sorry that I've been mia, had papers due every day this week! Glad that is over! lol. I see yall been in here acting up a little bit. Came to check on you all last night, and yall almost had me backsliding! lol. I'm almost done with my bottle of JBCO (have more from Jamaica) and will finish a ssi honey rinse soon when I mix up this gift for my friend.

Have a great night and upcoming weekend, I am off to bed! lol

Oh yeah, I will be graduating in 8 exact weeks! I am nervous but excited (<<<that's an update for mama T lol). GN
 
Day, you make me miss school so much lol. im happy you will be graduating. congrats!!!

forgot to tell yall that i purchases tigi curls rock today. i will be experimenting with it tonight. i want to see how my w&g would look if i pulled the front forward light bangs. i was thinking that i would let aveda cut off the straight ends if i looks cute but im not sure yet. thats why i need to play with my hair tonight:grin:
also my best w&g ever was when i used curl junkie coffee coco curl cream and TW krinkles and curls foam. well curl junkie is not a staple so i need to make sure i can get great results using any product.
 
I just ordered banana brulee, the honey rinse and avocado conditioner from SSI.

ETA: I also purchased a honey hair mask from my honey child. the reviews on it were great. I wasnt going to purchase it because of the shipping ($9) but somehow the shipping was FREE. I jumped on it!

Congrats!! :grin:

I concur Smart Girls Rule!!:grin:
 
Still debating if I should indulge in the 2 sales considering I did use up some staples and can therefore buy some replacements. I know I want to try SSI's knew reconstructor which means I could wait for the Easter or Mother's Day sale and get everything then.
Jasmine's items are more of a want/greed then a need. I don't know I'll look at my carts some more and debate about it since I need the Jessicurl WDT.

I plan on working through my non-staple cowashes for the spring (Shay I'm with you if you start the CoWash Challenge) and have only my staples for the summer when my hair can be really particular. I think my new PS will be a pony tail twist out.
 
You know since the PJ support thread and this one you all got me using some good natural products, to the point I don't like Giovanni anymore. Trouble makers:lachen:
 
^ you gotta watch what you are putting in your body and ON your body. Its not a coincidence in regards to the relationship between the increase of chemicals that mankind uses and the influx of cancer.
 
I finished an Alterna Caviar white truffle elixir and SSI Green Tea & Hibiscus. I tried my Komaza Intense Moisture Therapy and loved it! So much moisture. Just what I needed! I got a sample but I will definitely be getting the big one.
Not sure what I'll use up next week.

Which size of the WDT did you decide to get?:look:

I just bought 2 of the 8oz jars. One for myself and one for an e-friend. I don't think I can go a gallon because it will take me forever to get through it. But when jessicurl has a sale, I think I am going to get the option that she has for 3 8oz jars. Are you getting a gallon Vonnie?
 
Hello, I read all the goodies you ladies were buying I live through your shopping. LOL
I am still here attempting to use up some products.

I'm going to wait until the summer to get it. I did get the 3 during the last sale at the holidays. It definitely makes more sense financially:yep: to get the gallon even if it will take forever to get through it. I think I'll give some to my church friends and some to my mom to try as well. I am heavy handed especially if I have a lot of something so I know it will get put to good use.:lachen:

I'm going to pay off some more debt before I indulge in the WDT.
 
So I want to order from Jasmine's (i like the Shea Rinse as a leave in) but can't see myself paying $8 to ship it across the bridge to Jerze. Do you think she would let me pick it up? or do you think she makes $ on the shipping?

I just want the Rinse and the Ultra Nourishing and the sample but the 20% doesn't cover the shipping costs.

OT: I used up the rest of my Lustrasilk!!!!! Still working on my cowash condishes and next the Sitrinillah. May use the HV as a prepoo. Goal is to be working with only staples by June.

ITA:lachen:

But on a serious note. My hair is/has been doing so much better with only/mostly natural products (as well as better technique) than ever. I'd rather pay money for something that works well and is safer for me as I try to be more health conscious as I get older.:grin:

It took me 1.5yrs to grow my hair from Chin Length to SL+ when I was in college and only 6mos this time around after my BC in July 09. I know its using better/healthier products.
 
Mmmaaaaaaaawning ladies! I have risen from the sleeping dead. lol. Thank you all for the support and kind words. Love women lifting up other women, instead of tearing them down. Thanks soooo much, it means sooo much to me! Che, girl you better git back to school as soon as you can. Charz, you are sooo right about them natural products and consciousness of what we put on our bodies. Good steal WNS on the free shipping! And, Itown you better use them natural products. Vonnie and Shay I am soo with you on the cowash challenge if it's started. MKD, glad youre finding great products. You have me looking at that WDT though. lol. Brownie and Americka, keep using up. Robot, I hope she gives a better resolution than that bs. La, I'm proud of your resolve not to buy more. I'm trying! lol. And, T keep trying to using up products and ps in your quest of luscious locks...you will get there sooner than you think! :)
 
Vonnie, I would shoot her an email and see if she will let you pick up the products. All she can say is no; you don't have anything to lose.
 
Ladies I'm so PROUD of myself!!!! I FINALLY used something COMPLETELY up! :dance7: I don't know the LAST time I did that. I finished 1 bottle of Alterna Hemp Hydrate. I just have 5 more to go and 1 bottle of Alterna Hemp Repair. :lachen:

I thought I had more but I miscalculated. I gave my mom a few and I had 7 Alterna's total after I gave her the few.

Right now I'm DCing on dry hair w/ a mixture of Alterna Hemp Hydrate and Alterna Hemp Repair. I'm supposed to be working from home today but my hair is more important to me obviously :spinning:. At any rate, both products are discontinued but Alterna released a product that's basically a combination of the two. It's moisture and protein. So I figured I'd try to make it myself. We'll see. lol

Vonnie that was my point shipping is too much. Maybe she will and she have bottling deal like Oyin and give you discount.

Mkd, how do you use KCCC? I got my sample but don't know how it suppose to be use. My curls pop but the hair was scrunchy, so I may not have use it right.

ltown, the first time I used it, I used a little of jasmine's shea rinse underneath, my hair was pretty but dry as the sahara. :nono: The subsequent times, I used Jasmine's shea as a leave in, then I used an afroveda butter (almond ginger or the cocolatte) and then I used the KCCC. I think you should be ok if you use something very moisturing underneath. I didn't want to shell out the money for knot today when I already have a lot of leave ins but everyone says they work well together.
 
I think I am getting sick :(

When I get home I am going to wash my hair and DC with Afroveda Ashlii Amala... I don't want it to go bad :(
 
how i plan on using kccc when it comes is the rake knot today(but im sure you could use any leave in) through my hair in sections. then im gonna go back and dip my finger tips in the kccc and rake it through my section. then im going to take that same section and smooth it between both hands.
i saw a girl on youtube do it(i will post video) and ever since i have been doing it with all my curly hair products and it does make a difference.
her is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ja1WQN9ocw

last night i was too tired to wet all my hair to play in it so i just took the whole back section and wet it in the sink. then i raked through curly pudding on one side and tigi curls rock on the other section. honestly each side looked the same. the only difference was that curls rock really seperated the curls but made the hair crunchy. the curly pudding side surprisingly was not crunchy at all.
