Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.1

Washed my hair last night used up the last of my Hair One, this will be a repurchase in the future, but I have some shampoo I need to use up, which I really don't want to use, but I don't want to throw out either. I will just have to dilute them a lot so as not to dry out my hair.

I'm going to dc on dry hair today with Wheat Germ vegetable protein conditioning cream, and then follow that up with some Jessiecurl WDT.

The Curls Rock is wonderful for me :yep: After wearing my hair all week I had barely any frizz, no flakes and my hair stayed soft and pretty. Need to buy this stuff in bulk.

Hey Lamara, maybe you can use them to wash your hands after you remove your np?

I have not seen these either but I'm glad you told me about this. I'm off to Big lot today to look for some more. Americka what about the shampoos?

LMAO @ the Skala Revolution! Yes, their shampoos are equally divine, especially the Shea Butter and the Jaborandi! My hair literally felt moisturized after shampooing - almost like using a 2 in 1 poo/conditioner. I was really, really surprised. The Ceramides G3 poo "not so much", but it still does not leave the hair feeling stripped. I also love their masques (DCs) and their leave ins, especially the Shea Butter.

As T mentioned, Big Lots is definitely the place to search for these products because they sell them for only a dollar versus the five dollars they want on their website and other places. So if any of you lovely ladies find Skala at BL please let the rest of us addicts know and perhaps we can complete a transaction. :grin:

Disclaimer: What works for me may not work for you - but I loves me some Skala! :lachen:

I think I will like the skala avacado shampoo too! I know my hair looooves the avacodo conditioner from shescentit. Which skala conditioner do you have? I really hope my friend pays her $6.50 and joins us on here!

BostonMaria, are you still coming to the NYC meetup?! Im coming and Im bringing Day36 with me!

I have the avocado condish girl. I clarified with pm tea tree. So, if my hair feels good today, I know the Skala is reeeally working it! The PM usually dries my hair. And, I didnt add any leaveins. Left a bit of the Skala in and sealed with a little jojoba (:kiss: T) and evoo.

Yes I still want to go! My only concern is getting there. I am debating on whether I should take Amtrak to NYC, but my concern is I've never been to Harlem and I have absolutely no idea how to get there.

OMG that would be great! We could split the cab fare. When the time comes we can agree on a time and exchange cellphone numbers :yep:

Are you from NY or another state?

Yep, it's still going strong, but I haven't being using it consistently, I have other things that I wanted to try, so it keeps getting pushed back. I would say I have about 40 oz left :lol:
 
WNS, I was thinking the same thing! you know, to help a friend. lol. Seriously though, I going to try it, but I'm making a package for my bff who's transitioning. :)
 
ltown said:
No, I did min night and will do my ritual tomorrow! Are you steaming until 2 or just letting it sit?
Click to expand...

I have the Henna in. I've never tried to steam that. IK Taz and some others steam in their Henna.

I just have it in, wrapped in Saran Wrap. Will rinse out in a coupla' hours. Then steam with the Joico and let that sit and cool for about 30 minutes or so. Apply Ceramides, PC *right now, I'm using Nexxus Ensure Acidifying Conditioner for this step, ph balance 3.0*

Leave-In.......

Then Under the Dryer. I have to go back to work next week, so back in da' wig.....:ohwell:
 
hello ladies :)
hope your morning is going well.
I woke up to twist my hair because I can't see myself wearing my hair out every day like I did last week. I spent too much time flat twisting / moisturizing before going to sleep and undoing that in the morning...
back to wearing protective styles.

I twisted my hair with Anita Grant shea sapote and it is really lovely!!
Me like it a lot!!

@washnset: how did you like the njoi creations sweet coconut pomade?I still haven't used mine and might use it as a body butter

@chebaby: njoi creations is having a sale on Monday. I asked her if it starts at midnight because I have classes all day but she said it will start in the morning around 9...(I am in class...aargh). I just want to check out what she'll have because honestly i don't need anything!!It's just me being greedy! I still have to use up the coconut cream I have..the one that has vanilla beans..yummy...I've been using it as a body cream instead of hair cream

@IdareT's hair: wow! I didn't know you could henna and indigo the same day! have fun :)

@Bostonmaria: hey ;) I lived in Boston for 5 years..left in 2005 but I still go back every 3 months . On my next trip, we should definitely meet up :)

Has anyone here tried Beija Flor naturals products?
http://www.etsy.com/shop/beijaflores

A friend just referred me the page and I spent some time looking at each product.
Surprisingly, I decided not to get anything!!!
I know the products will work for me because she uses ingredients that my hair/body likes.
Which is why i am not getting it because I have butters/ oils and don't need it.

I had to stop mixing/making my own treatments for a little bit because
a) i have no more room..lol
b) I need to use up the body butter/ hair butter that I made for this winter, for instance this delicious cocoa butter,shea butter jamaican black castor oil and palm kernel hair/body butter..:lick::lick:

I just received a few glass bottles and now that the warmer days are here, I can't wait to use my batch of oil cleansing method for this Fall with lavender, chamomile and calendula flowers:lick:
Last summer I infused one batch for 2 months and in the Fall when I was using it, It smelled incredible and it was soo soothing!

I liked it a lot. I just need to learn how to not be so heavy handed with everything! I dont need anything from her either, but I want to be greedy and buy everything. Plus, its free shipping and lower prices. I hope she has some new butters.

Just rinsed the Wheat Germ vegetable protein conditioning cream that Miss T sent to me. It's a really light protein but I'm still going to follow up with some Sitrinillah for a few hours. Hair is feeling really good so far :yep:

That's what I was about to suggest. I'm coming too and I know my way around.



I'm going to curb my spending. I'm on a hair/clothing/make-up no buy until July. Once I buy a new blow dryer and round brush, the wallet shall be closed.
