nooooo T, don't tell me that. I was so close to buying it. I don't even like one of the protein conditioners I am trying to use up.

You don't need it. Don't Get it. Keep using stuff up.

 

[mkd]

I know T, I don't need it. My thing is, I don't like using up products that I don't like. I am going to make myself do it though. I only use protein conditioners as pre poos so I guess its not that big a deal.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Uhh...Speaking of Using stuff up....I used up my 2oz Sample of BeeMine Hair Serum Oil that Che sent me.

*Thanks Che* I will definitely repurchase this after I use up some of my other Oils.

 

[fattyfatfat]

I should be done with my VF tomorrow. Im going to add amla oil to it (Im trying to get rid of that!) and pre-poo with it. Now all of a sudden, my hair likes VF. Too bad Im not buying from HV anymore. Ill try to buy coconut oil from GNC or the Vitamin Shop.

 

[mkd]

I love vatika frosting.

i am so with you to the bolded. i am the type where if i dont like something i will not make myself use it up. i will sell it, give it away or throw it away. i realize though that thats a problem, unless it really does something bad to my hair.

 

[chebaby]

i have 2 vatika frostings that i need to make myself use. but like i said, i havent been using oils at all lately. i might pre poo overnight with the vatika frosting and then do a protein co wash tomorrow before aveda.

also i am really really really loving aveda be curly. i cant even keep definition because my hands stay in my puff. i thought for sure this stuff would have a semi crunchy hold but nope. its all softness.

 

[Americka]

I tried to make it to 12 weeks, but I failed. I relaxed tonight at 11 weeks. Lately I have been DCing twice in one session in 15 to 20 minute intervals. I DC'd with La Plancha and I am DCing right now with Pantene Time Renewal. Both of them have been used up as of tonight. Yay me! I have a large wicker basket where I keep my "currently in use products" and my stash is shrinking! I am so grateful for this thread being resurrected. Thanks again, Charz! Ya'll keep me in check!

 

[fattyfatfat]

Im going to make it to 12wks for you! Next week is week 11 for me.

I will be cheering for you all the way!

next Tuesday i have 3 packages coming from curlmart. i really want to try jane carter leave in spray but its sold out everywhere. i couldnt find it on curlmart, at whole foods or at beauty first. it must really be popular.

Che, you are making me want to pull out my be curly. I may use it next week under my KCCC.

I'm worse than you, I will just toss it most times. It's my money I'm wasting so....

 

[Brownie518]

Brownie--I like the Komaza Intense Moisture Therapy too. I'm waiting for another sale and when I need to restock on some of their other items. We tend to like or should I say our hair tends to like a lot of the same products.
.

I was thinking the same thing!! I was adding stuff to my cart the other day and realized I was adding the stuff you said you got!! I hope they have another sale soon. I'm really loving the Moku leave in and the IMT.

 

[Brownie518]

dag...I have five packages coming with hair care products.

This week, I got my box from Hairveda, and my KBB and Jasmine's came today. I have another box coming from Jasmine's and one from Njoi. Most of my Jasmine's is body stuff and from KBB I got lotions and hair oils.

 

[Brownie518]

T, if you co wash a couple of times a week if you decide to wig it, you could use up a lot of stuff.

I saw the tigi dumb blonde reconstructor at tj maxx today. I was going to buy it but I have 3 other protein conditioners that I need to use up.

I think I am going to get a trim next week. I really think I have made progress. I am excited to see.

I loooove Dumb Blonde!! I have to hit up TJ Maxx this week!!

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Think I'm going to cowash my puff tomorrow and use KCCC for the edges. I used HV Whipped Gelly and it didn't do anything.

Still debating about buying 1 since I did use 1.

MKD-I will send that email tomorrow. That will be a big factor if I buy anything.

 

[Ltown]

I think I am gonna get the gallon of Jessicurl this weekend.....or today.........

I want to try this so maybe I can pay you for some and cover shipping with you???

 

[fattyfatfat]

MY STEAMER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fattyfatfat]

so while Im trying to figure out how to put this steamer together (when I have the stabilizing plate screwed in, the wheels wont fit on) Im pre-pooing with amla oil and Vatika Frosting. Im finally finished with that jar of VF!

 

[newports]

i really need to join this challenge

 

[robot.]

so that wasn't a trim, that was a scalping. she cut sooo much! i just dc'ed my hair, though AND had a steaming, but my hair feels like straw. whatever shampoo she used stripped me dry.

i'm about to head to Oyin though, so i'll come back to tell you ladies all about it later.

oh! and i used up a dc today (my birthday!)

alright, i got a minute.

i'd been hurting for a trim for a few months now - my ends were frizzy, brittle, and dry. they felt so bad and made detangling a disaster. a member here recommended the hair company usa in capitol heights months ago, so i decided to check them out since they did natural hair.

my stylist, candace, was very nice and talked to me during the process - explaining this and that. she was very meticulous about my trim and we talked a little about my hair. my back (i think) has always been shorter than my front, but i had a nicely shaped afro all around. but the back now, is as short as when i first BCed! it is less than an inch! not that i really mind, but i had finally decided to start trying to braid/twist/style my hair and now, i don't even have enough hair to do so. not a big deal. i feel like i look like a boy now, though. lol.

what's ironic is that T suggested the trim instead of shaving but getting a trim just made me want to shave more. the steam was nice, but i don't feel as though i got a lot of steam (so char, i will be visiting you soon!) and whatever shampoo she used just stripped my hair COMPLETELY. i came home and DC'ed, and my hair still felt very rough, so i'm going to DC/cowash every day until my moisture levels are back to normal.

once i have the time, i'll do a more detailed post on my blog.

 

[Charz]
