thanks for your review che. was your stylists name "becky"?

hahaha no, she was a "laquisha"
no but really her name is Erin and shes nice and talkative but she certainly does not listen.

 

[Charz]

^^^^ Girl, I don't care if I look the the "black one". They would be lucky to deal with me instead of dealing with David. He acts a fool, talking about customer rights and ish! I would not have paid.

Che you don't deserve nothing but the best! And if you don't get the best, then you should stand your ground and make them know it is unacceptable.

 

[fattyfatfat]

for $130, you should have spoken your mind! next time sis, next time!

my brother said i shouldnt have paid her and i should have told her it wasnt what i wanted but i didnt want to look like thee "black one" in front of all those white people. she and i were the only black people there.

T, don't let my review put you off of salons. I don't blame the girl for the shampoo or how much hair she cut - I told her to just take the ends OFF. I had never had a trim before and it has been 8 months since I chopped! My hair does look and feel better than it did before. I like it now though because it's a little boyish (edgy/artsy) and it finally has a definite shape.

We were laughing about how every part of my head was a different length. The sides were so ridiculously long they stuck out of my head like antennae almost! lol. we agreed it was odd because it's usually the sides that grow out the slowest from sleeping, tension, wrapping, etc.

I did like the place I went to and I will be back.

 

[fattyfatfat]

LOL!!!! . I expect nothing less than the best when I hear of Aveda. I dont think anyone on this site has super positive reviews of Aveda stylists.

[chebaby]

yea, i have to learn not to care about looking like the odd one out when im in the right.
when i hear aveda i think the very best too.

im still trying to decide if i want to twist my hair tonight because tomorrow i have to take a class for work thats gonna last seriously all day long.

also when i rinse thsi mayo out im going to use aveda DR treatment. i used it this morning and i love it. next week im gonna buy another tube or 2 because i can tell that small tube wont last.

*sigh*

I just spent an hour detangling my hair! I lost a lot of hair in the process. I almost got the urge to take a pair of scissors and cut every knot out or just shave everything off. Fortunately, my SO reminded me to breath and I began detangling slowly. I decided that Im going to suck it up and go to Becky at Supercuts for a one inch cut tomorrow. That way Im getting rid of my ends and I wont have to relax. 11wks post relaxer here I come.

I enjoyed steaming!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to find somewhere to store it!

Oops, almost forgot to add I used up these products today: vatika frosting, njoi creations rinse, SSI coco cream leave in and apala beauty sesame elixir. I swear the sesame elixir was the worst thing I could have put in my hair. I used it as a leave in and thats were the tangles, stickyness and dryness came from! I had to wash my hair again and thats why I had so many tangles. I wont be repurchasing anything I used today except for the coco cream leave in.

 

[JJamiah]

WNS even after steaming for an hour it was still and issue with detangling?

I am so sorry for your experience. Maybe a different conditioner next time

 

[Ltown]

So I ordered KCCC, Knot today, Oyin shampoo, and curl leave in all from curlmart, no discount code, shipping for all that $8.00 That what I'm talking about, not $8.00 for one item I wash my hair, use KBB, then KCCC and got some soft defining curls. After watching video Chebaby post, I got hipe and watch several more KCCC videos. This stuff is great, the leave in helps and eliminate the crunchness. Finally happy thanks ladies!

 

[fattyfatfat]

yes JJamiah . after I steamed with the Jasmines DC (my hair usually doesnt do well with this...I should have just sold it instead of continuing to use it) I let my hair cool, and I used the njoi creations rinse underneath YTC. I combed my hair while the conditioners were in and ended up taking out two small knots of hair. I slightly towel dried my hair and used the apala beauty sesame elixir and my hair said "oooohhhhhh hellllllllllllll no". I ended up having to do another shampoo and taking lots and lots and lots of knots out of my hair.

*sigh*

I lost some hair but its ok...Im kind of excited about my cut tomorrow. I just hope Becky listens and takes only one inch off. I have my hair in rollers now.

Maybe try one conditioner since you just got your steamer and see what your hair like. I have used YTC with honeyquat/honey, Aubrey with honey. It will work out for you!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ms. T, why is my steamer screeching?!!!!!!!

Mine is totally quiet. But I don't have the Ultra Light One.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

When it gets there it is automatically shutting off, you need to pull the plug out of the top and add more water.

Ours have a 60 minute Dial. No "Screeching" whatsoever before it shuts off -- just like the water/steam is out.

I think the Ultra Light Ones shut off after 30 minutes

 

[fattyfatfat]

right! have 30 minutes its SCREECHES. I just turn it back on!

[mkd]

Che, your color sounds lovely. did you get all of your hair colored and then highlights on top of that? When my stylist did my color, she would do a color a little lighter than my natural color on the top half of my hair and then a few blond highlights on top of that. She left the hair underneath alone. She said she didn't want to add more color/chemical than necessay to make it look pretty.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

LOL! Hey that's allot of conditioner!

$100 is like one salon visit. I don't go to the salon, ya dig?

I Def Dig It!

thanks! I added more water and its all good. This is so relaxing. I may stay under here all night.

Glad you got that Figured Out! Thanks for helping her out JJ!
It is Sooooooooooooooooo Relaxing

Once you Find the Right DC......Maybe try Jessicurl WDT???

ETA: The "THICKER" the Better especially this Far into your Stretch.

 

[fattyfatfat]

hmmmm....Jessicurl WDT? I havent tried it yet. I'll have to look into that ASAP. Thanks! Next week is 11 and I know I can do 12. Maybe 16! Its become easier as I go.

[IDareT'sHair]

you are right. im sitting here now with ORS mayo on my hair when i shouldnt have to. i finished the jar by the way.anyway while i was putting the mayo on i noticed the front of my hair is so darn pretty. its so many blonde hi lites its cute. but why is that not all over my hair? how come i have to pull back my hair to see it? and the real problem is that there is still too much of my natural color still there. i still wanted a little of my own color but she left too much.
my brother said i shouldnt have paid her and i should have told her it wasnt what i wanted but i didnt want to look like thee "black one" in front of all those white people. she and i were the only black people there.

Girl Aveda is one of "Those Salons" Where "the Customer is Always Right"

I would have 'Promptly' told her I wasn't pleased with my $130 "Results" and given her the opportunity to schedule me another 'Free'/Corrective Appointment. (You can Do that There).

It wasn't like you were at the Salon round da' corner which sells Fish Sandwhiches and Chicken Wings in the back (next to the Bootleg DVD's and Coach/Louis Vuitton Purses!

I would have promptly told them involved the Manager (if I had to) and had my appointment for my corrective. Call them.

Chile, after week 8 or 9, I hafta' break out the Big Guns. The Thicker the Better (but I always "Steam" with Thick stuff).

i.e. Hair Mask/Masque, Hair Paste, Intense Moisturizing Deep Conditioning Treatment, Repairative Treatment etc......

Like Charz said in her YT: Thinner Conditioners may drip when mixed with Steam.

And I just 'prefer' thicker DC'ers.

 

[fattyfatfat]

I have a reconstructor thats thick. Ill try that underneath the steamer next week.

Ya'll know I hated to throw out that Brand New 8 ounces of BeeMine.

I talked to my old College Roommate (she's a Chemist) and she was telling me that even though mold didn't appear to be in the product (just on the top) Spores (sp) could be all througout the product that really aren't visible to the naked eye (only under a microscope).

Which is probably why they advised me to pitch it. Well, my replacement should be here soon. I finished Che's sample along with the Oil. I really like that stuff.

Girl, you crazy!!!

I remember this one I used to go to had the best drinks!!!

 

[Day36]

WNS I am sorry to hear about your mini issue. hhhhuuugggggsssss! Glad the boo was there to stop you from doing something you'd regret. huugs boo! I cant wait to see the new do on friday


I've been thinking of getting a thicker dc myself. Do you ladies think coconut cream with like honey and avocado (or banana baby food) would yield a good thickness? Or, should I just buy a thick dc? I'm 7 months post if that matters.

 

[Americka]

Dumb question alert!

What exactly is a conditioner rinse i.e. Capilo Honey and Milk Rinse? Is it an instant conditioner or a deep conditioner? http://store.sickbay.biz/cahoandmiri1.html I'm curious...

 

[Day36]

hey Americka! I think it is an instant conditioner, that may have a bit more punch. idk. hth lol oh yeah, also, from where do you get your panthenol? *hope I am remembering correctly*

Perhaps Brownie can lend her expertise here.

I would use it as a final rinse. It's more like a quickie conditioner.

That Philip B is called: A Deep Conditioning Cream Rinse. I was going to use it as a Final Rinse (per Brownie). Or I was just going to Co-Wash with it.

Even though it says: Deep Conditioning Cream Rinse, I don't think nor do I have plans to DC with it.

 

[chebaby]

washnset i hope your cut turns out nice and im sorry to hear about your knots and tangles.

mkd, she didnt lighten my hair first. she just did hi lights or what i call streaks all over my head. but its not enough. infact there are some sections in the back that looks like there is no color at all.

T, im gonna call them tomorrow and tell them that im not satisfied and that there isnt enough color on my head. is it ok to have two color sessions done so soon back to back?

how do yall use aveda DRT? i just used mine up and i only got 2 uses out of it. within the next two weeks i will have to purchase a bigger bottle. and i hope its a bottle and not a tube.
i braided my hair for a braidout using sunshine and i have about 1 more use out of it. im gonna miss it when its gone. i have another one but its the "bad batch" one and i honestly dont wanna use it.

im pissed. im watching this lifetime rockefella(sp?) movie and the freaking sound on the TV went out lol.

 

[fattyfatfat]

Thanks girl! Im just getting a one inch cut so hopefully it wont be too much of a change.

Thanks for that quick answer! My panthenol came from lotioncrafters.com. Are you thinking about adding some to your products?
