I am.Thanks for your Encouragement.
I appreciate it.
I felt like I was making so much progress.
Oh, that Combination of Products is working for You. Your Curls Are Poppin'!
Thanks T:blowkiss:
My husband was in Big Lots last week and didn't look for skala for me. That's ok, I am going to go next week. I may call first to see if they have it. Do the skala conditioners have cones?

I can check all of them if you need me to, but I have the Aloe Vera conditioner bottle in front of me and it has an ingredient called "Dimethicone Copolyol." I know that dimethicone is a water soluble cone. Here is what I found on dimethicone copolyol.
Taken from: http://www.ehow.com/about_5057373_dimethicone-copolyol.html
Dimethicone copolyol is a common surfactant in many shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products. It is regularly used in antiperspirants and deodorants. It is found in skin and hair clarifying products, sunscreens, and moisturizers. Dimethicone copolyol is a low-odor ingredient that replaces other ingredients that have an unpleasant odor and was was patented by Anthony J. O'lenick Jr. and Kevin A. O'lenick. The main purpose of this additive is to add shine and make hair feel more full.
- What is it?
- Dimethicone copolyol is derived from silicone, which is from silica. Unlike most silicon derivatives, it is soluble in water and combines regularly with inorganic oils and waxes.What Does it Do?
- Dimethicone copolyol softens and smooths skin and hair. It repels water and adds shine to hair. It helps certain personal care products spread more smoothly and evenly and in some cases acts as a moisturizer.Does it Clog Your Pores?
- Although it is a silicon derivative, dimethicone copolyol has not been shown to clog pores and this is safe in shampoos, conditioners and skin care products.Toxicity
- Dimethicone copolyol is non-toxic and is not listed by any country or organization as being toxic in any way. It is an eye irritant and can cause reddening and irritation of the eyes. However, dimethicone copolyol is far less irritating than the compounds that it replaces. It results in products which are, comparatively, less irritating than ones using older additives.Ecotoxicity
- Dimethicone copolyol has no known negative effects on wildlife or natural systems.Products Containing Dimethicone Copolyol
- Dimethicone copolyol is a very common ingredient in cosmetic products. Products containing dimethicone copolyol are often listed as low hazard and low toxicity products and can, among many others, include the following types of products: Toners and astringents, antiperspirants and deodorants, facial moisturizers and treatments, sunscreens, anti-aging treatments, body wash, liquid hand soap, facial cleansers, hair spray, concealers, foundations, eye-liners, mascara, baby shampoo, antiseptics, diaper creams, acne treatments, styling gels and foam, nail polish and hair detanglers.

I need to dye my whole hairline, especially my temples!
Chile, I strolled over to the hair care aisle and there they were! I told my nephew to hurry and get a basket. That boy moved soooo slow.I threw those bottles in my basket and looked for more. I LOVE my Skala. I would continue to use it, even if I couldn't get it for a buck. Did yours have any leave ins at all?
No leave in, just the ceramide G3, shea butter and cocktail mask. I ain't complaining for $1

I want to try the skala
avocado line and shea butter line but from the one review i saw from a natural ( she used the avocado) said it was a mess for her hair. Does the avocado and shea have protein? I can't use protein. Only in the elucence products and tw mist doesn't bother me.

I went to MANY stores today looking for skala! I couldnt find it at all! I did come across some silicon mix products. I also found Nutrine Garlic shampoo for...$3.99...what a deal. Too bad it was the one that smells like garlic. The smell was too overwhelming to purchase. I didnt purchase the silicon mix products but I know where to get them for a good price now.

Afternoon Ladies, What's Going On?????
Anybody doing their Hair, Re-arranging Products, Using Up/Buying Products????
Packing up products to give away i.e. clearing out your stashes?
Playing with your hair?
What's going On?
I am about to write out my Regi for next week. I think I am back to co-washing & dc'ing once a week (for now).
I may go and re-arrange some stuff in my Stash later on
I just made up a bag of stuff for my niece's friend. Her hair is fried and she can't get over how my niece's hair has improved so I figured I could help her out (and me at the same time!) I have her a Banana Brulee, Phiip B shampoo, HSH Soy leave in spray, some Deep Fuel, Porosity Control, and about 4 other conditioners.
Made quite a bit of room on the shelf. I have used up some stuff lately, too. Rescue Force, Komaza Protein strengthener, Komaza Honey comb rejuvenator, SSI Jojoba Healthy Hair Serum, Argan Oil, and 3 vials of Biolage CeraRepair.
I did a bit of moving around, also. Thats how I figured out what to give my niece's friend. I think I'll give my niece my CHI Keratin Mist, too.
Oh, T, I used that Schwarzkopf Bonacure stuff you gave me, again!!!
Love it. I'm going to go look for some right now!! Thanks, again!!

IDare, don't bash yourself we all fall off now and then. I did especially in February. I took stuff back and was like to self " really why do you need 12 friggn bottles of this shampoo. I looked and shook my head, then I keep stuff I don't use. I was like Your going to use this up no if ands or butts. That is why I do the treat stuff for myself. I have treated myself to little packets of conditioner here and there. I earned another 2 and just never went for it because I don't need to.
You did good, and if you fall off and you buy local TAKE IT BACK, I feel so much better when I do. I passed up DRC-28 2/$106 bucks with free shipping why!? because like you I have 5 bottles of Nexxus, one full bottle of Aphogee 2 step, Aphogee 2 minute, spray bottle with aphogee 2 step, and Motions CPR full. So I don't need it, I want it.
All of this to say we all fall off but it is important we pick ourselves back up. Your not a failure, you only fail when you give up. That you haven't done! Keep up the good work.

I still haven't Busted Out my Liter(s). I have so much stuff to get through first. *And me like a Fool, just bought some mo'*
But, I'm straight now. I had my little 'fix' and now I'm back to business
I am back on track.To Accomplish What I set out to do this Year.
I think all that conversation (about Hair & Make-Up), that was going on, broke me down.
And I didn't stay outta here, while all that was taking place. Now I know my Trigger(s).
If the conversation continues to go in that direction, I will have to stay out of this particular thread (or better yet off the Board) until the Spending Frenzy has subsided.
There is no way, I should have allowed it to get to me (Again)
I thought I was much 'Stronger'

JJamiah, you're absolutely right! I've been buying a bit too much 
look lately myself. I tried to make up for it by giving a lot of stuff away and making sure I used stuff that I would finish. I looked over my stuff and I definitely won't need to buy any staples for at least 30 days, well, more like 60 days . So, no more hair purchases for a while. Or bath and body. These sales/coupons are killing me, though

Those Dominican DCs are
Doing a blow out for me means less manipulation during the week. I was told my hair looked thicker, but coarse. However, when she touched it, she couldn't help but exclaim how soft it is.
Exactly
I used to think I didn't care because it's not important for me to feel that my hair is straight, but I lose less hair and spend less time just refreshing my bun in the morning, so I'm going to keep it straightened as I stretch.I have the Dominican DC's: 10 en 1, Capilo Suela y Canela, Baba de Caracol, Toque Magico de Emergencia, y Silicon Mix Bambú.

I went to Target today and bought a bottle of Shea Moisture Raw Shea Restorative Conditioner and a Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Hold & Shine spritz (smells divine). Grandbaby was the guinea pig LOL cuz my hair is flatironed.
It was weird (awesome?) seeing Curls, Jane Carter, Shea Moisture and Miss Jessie's products next to the other products. I almost bought a bottle of the Shea Moisture curls creme, but I put it back because I know my hair will probably hate it, plus I have my black gel at home that works just fine.

Tomorrow after church (all day event) I will do my hair. I'm going to wash with Shea Moisture the Moisturizing Poo, co wash with my concoction (I'm almost done), DC with Sitrinillah/GPB/Honey/Kpak, then twist with some leave-in combo and a butter.
Definitely done with sales at this point. I'm not using up enough and I hate parting with stuff unless I really hate it so I'm done buying. One thing I do need more of is face products but not for at least 2-4wks.

Today is hair day. What is interesting is I enjoy the cowashing during the week but I do not look forward to Sundays. I think it's because it's too many steps. IDK. I ain't doing nothing else so I don't know why I'm complaining. I will most likely use up Giovanni's SAS Deeper Moisture today. It will be a repurchase but probably in the summer.

Conditioner porn LOL
It took every ounce of pure will power yesterday to not pass by Big Lots. I want the Skala but I know how I am. It's better if I wait. It's bad enough I went to two Targets trying to find Shea Moisture. They were like 10 miles apart mind you. I was a woman on a mission LOL I am debating on whether to do my hair again today.

I can see the Target sign from my patio! I can get there in 30 seconds by car or 5 to 7 minutes by walking. Mine has had the Shea Moisture, Jane Carter and the Miss Jessie's for about three weeks. They've even stepped up their game by adding phony ponies and other ethnic hair care accessories. My favorite comb is one of their recent additions.

I dye my hair and after I rinse my hair, I co-wash with Skala, then let some in for a couple of hours. I was going to sleep with it but that too mushy for me. So later I rinse it out, it was so soft. Even this morning my hair is dry and soft, I did not put any leave-in on purpose to see how my hair would feel soft
Today I'm going to try DC with the Skala shea butter on dry hair and steam. I've never steam with dry hair so hopefully the steam will moist it enough.

I have this one, but never used it. I LOVE the poo and con, so I can only imagine how the masque feels. Be sure and review this one also. I am so glad you like the products.
