Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.1

Hey Ladies, I'm out of town and the internet is down every few minutes. I won't be doing anything to my hair here, actually experimentally with braid out. Happy Easter!
 
Hi Ladies :)

Popping out of lurk mode to say hi. :wave:

Just thought I would give you an update on my Anita Grant samples. I still love my Anita Grant vanilla cafe latte sample. I was originally going to use it as a normal sealer but I only seal with it the day after washday just before I get my hair cornrowed. It leaves my hair nice and soft and gives it a lovely sheen. I have used it twice and think I have just enough for one more use so may finish it up this weekend.

I have finished the sapote castor and coconut castor hair oils. I think the coconut castor oil hair worked best for me. The last couple of weeks, I have been using JBCO on my ends and I love how my hair feels so I will continue to do this.

I used the vanilla rose body oil one day last month and it felt nice on my skin and I loved the smell.

I have tried the chocolate banana face mask in the past and I like how my face felt afterwards. I took it with me for my facial but the lady who does my facial did not notice any difference. I think it is more of a pamper treatment for me as once a month I really do need a deeper treatment and my staple mask is AO Green Tea and Green clay. I bought a sample of Anita's green clay so will try it soon.

I restocked on my staple AO conditioners as they were on special offer (4 for the price of 3) as I was going to go back to cornrowing my hair every two weeks but I have decided to continue to get it done every 4 weeks instead. My hair is retaining more length and my temples are improving so I think minimal manipulation is best for me. The girl that cornrows my hair said that my hair is getting long, so if it is not broke.... I will continue to co-wash once a week and shampoo and deep condition every four weeks so I will not need to buy any more conditioners for ages.

I was trying to use up my AO GBP shampoo as it has been sitting there for ages as I detest it so much as it leaves my hair feeling so stripped. I am now using it to clean the bath which is probably best as the shampoo is probably past it best before date by now. It was free when I bought the GBP conditioner ages ago so it is no financial loss in the end.
 
Hey Ladies....:hiya2:Just got my Relaxer. Just finished steaming and sitting here in Lamaur Bone Marrow DC Treatment. (Letting it Cool Down).

I ended up letting one of my niece's apply my relaxer. *She went to Cosmetology School, but has never worked in a shop* She said my hair was Healthy, Nice & Strong.:blush:

I also had her trim & even up some of those places that needed it (because ya'll know I had/have spots & patches all throughout.:burning:

Since I decided not to BC and start over.:sad: I thought I would Grow, Trim, Grow, Trim.

Ya'll This 'method' seems like it's going to take me forever.:rolleyes:

I feel 1,000% better overall about my hair. (having it semi professionally relaxed).

Now I can see what I am actually working with.

I drove home in plastic cap & conditioner and scarf to Steam.:blush:

*Thanks Ya'll for Putting Up with Me*:kiss:

This Souunds like 3/4ths of My Stash:nono:

But I did take quite a bit of 'stuff' to my niece's. She was happy to get it.

So, that helped me get rid of some stuff. So, I feel good about that.:yep:

It's actually the only thing that I haven't tried yet. I'm going to try it now.
I'm 5 weeks post today, so I've started using multiple conditioners with each wash.
 
I did manage to use up a bottle of Isoplus Neutralizing Shampoo (with the Color Guard). I have a back up.

And a Tube of Matrix Biolage Ceramides. Getting ready to get under the Dryer. Will go right back to wigging it.:ohwell:

My Niece told me I 'should'/'could' wear my own hair, but IK if I did, I'd be doing too many things to it.:nuts:

So, it's "Safe" for Me to go back to the Wig (for now).:sekret:
 
T, im glad your relaxer went well. and i bet that felt good to hear her say your hair was strong.
i know besides long hair, i want really really strong hair.

im on my way to using up carols daughter hair milk. i would give it another week before its gone but im going in braids on sunday so it'll be around for a while.

i shampooed today with lush curly wurly shampoo and i am pissed. why the freak would they make a shampoo with freaking bits of white crap in it. the first time i used it i thought it was bits of coconut but now i dont know what the freak it is. all i know is that its just as bad as plucking out chunks of banana or avocado. bastids lol.

i then conditioned with AO GPB. i was gonna wait to trim but im going to do it this sunday or tonight:look:. my left side needs a trim baaaaddddd. that side the curls are looser so it hangs more and gets tangled more:wallbash: so it needs a trim much more than the right side. i think im going to take off about an inch all around. thats not much considering i dont plan on trimming but once a year. and im back on using my bee mine so i hope that helps. and like i said before, i plan on protective styling about 75-80% of the summer.

tomorrow im just going to co wash with aussie moist and style with aveda be curly.
sunday i will pre poo with ORS replenishing conditioner, shampoo with black soap(ive been shampooing a lot) and then deep condition with heat(havent done that in a while) with kbb hair mask. im still not sure if i want to trim on wet or dry hair. if i do it on dry hair i will use leave in and 2 heat protectants to blow dry it. and i will use low and warm heat.
then i will braid my hair.

Yay!!!! What does your dress look like?

I am so excited. I found the perfect half wig today. I looks just like my curls but with like 3 times the volume. I texted a pic of myself with it on to all my friends and everyone LOVED it. I didn't get it though. I am going to sleep on it. Its synthetic so it isn't even like its expensive, I just don't know if I would actually wear it.
 
Hey ladies!

I am loving the updates. Loving it! T, stop being bashful. You know you are working hard on that hair, so how can it not shine? lol. Che, congrats on your one year. Charz, congrats on the upcoming nuptials. Will you be going with David to Spain? Rosa, great to hear from you. Red...4 more days until you hear from Ms. Brown right? MKD, I know youve been dying for a half wig, not trying to pressure you but, maybe it would be a good thing to have one on reserve incase a wash day goes bad? Vonnie, Itown, OP, and Natura, hope you all are well too. La, how are you liking the green tea butter still? And, did you get the gumbo? I need a recipe too. Robot and Shay, did you try the cleanser/mask yet? Lamara, see you in OT. Got two milani mps for .89. Thanks to my cvs card! See ya tonight wns.

Have a great weekend and Easter ladies!

You are just the Sweetest Day36!:look: Thanks for the Shout Outs!

You Ladies in this Thread ROCK!:bdance:
 
i think i changed my mind. im going to wash and braid my hair tonight because i wont have time to do it tomorrow or sunday. i mean i can do it at my usual time on sunday but i dont feel like being up all night to braid. i really want twists but braids protect the hair more.
 
Already Thinking out Tuesday's Co-Wash Regi.:look: Will prolly DC (1st) on Dry Hair under Steama'.*Experimenting with this method for the first time* Will either use Joico MRTB, Keratase or L'Oreal -- all open.:yep:

Follow up with a Reconstructor (Nexxus Keraphix open) and then do a quick Co-Wash Treatment. May use Nutrine Garlic or Beauty w/o Cruelty Moisturizing Conditioner (*since they are both open*):yep:

Hopefully, will use something up on Tuesday.:rolleyes:

@ the bold - I've done this a couple of times and I really don't see a difference between the dry or the wet hair dc. Let me know how your hair responds!

You are an inspiration, T!
