Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.1

[mkd]

I received the my honey child mask today! When I posted, I said that the shipping was free, but she emailed me and said that I forgot to add shipping. Oops. When I received this TINY box, I almost passed out. $9 in shipping for what? Oh well...I learned my lesson.

Ive been wearing a french braid this week and I received a lot of compliments about it. I think this will be my style for a while. After last weeks mishap, Im scared to touch my hair!

I wish I knew how to french braid neatly WNS. I may attempt french braids this weekend.

 

[fattyfatfat]

same here. When I got my relaxer, I got the ladies in the salon to do it for me.

I think I'm bout to break down and buy that Ouidad Detangling Comb.

 

[JJamiah]

I used up the following

Nexxus Therappe
Thermasilk Moisturizing shampoo
Aphogee Keratin Green Tea
Hair One Jojoba

Slowly but surely!

 

[redecouvert]

just used up cioccolatina shine oil

 

[redecouvert]

@IDareT's hair: that's a great idea!! I might do the same!! twice a week = using it up products quicker

 

[chebaby]

im still thinking of things i can use up. the only things i can think of are sunshine, AO BC, ojon mist(should be gone in maybe 2 weeks), and samples of shine and define(assuming i use it for twists this weekend, i have been trying to get rid of this for a long while).

 

[chebaby]

i have eco gel on one section and noodle head on another section and they kinda look the same. im gonna use them together today and see if it can be a kinky curly knock off.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I used up a bottle of Giovanni SAS yesterday. I will put the Mane N tail in my cowash rotation so I can use that next with my Cowash mix in the Liter container. With the rate I'm cowashing (once a day) I'll be done these quickly. My goal is to use only natural stuff from here on out. I know its expensive but my hair is doing better without all the additives.

I'm going to rural AL next week for a conference and will probably continue wearing a big fro. I may put some 2 strand flat twists (if I can get them to look nice) or one strand flat twists in the front and just wear a fro or chunky twist out in the back.

I liked the Olive Oil Ecostyler. It has given me the most defined W&G so far. My hair was really dry after that week.

The HV Whipped Gelly didn't like the KBB and EVCO and I had some white flecks in my hair and it was really frizzie. I'll have to try it with just leave in first.

The KCCC and KB was good too but it is really easy to use too much KCCC and get extra crunchy hair.

Today I'll try KBB and a shea butter mix. I know I probably won't get 2nd day hair from it since my curls flatten really easily if there isn't any gel.

Hey Ladies!

TGIF ! I am so Happy It's the Weekend! For some reason this was a long, long week.

@Shay: That detangling Comb has amazing reviews. Let us know when you get it.

@Che: Have you used "It's A 10 Mask" Yet?

@Brownie:

I used up my Wheat Germ Oil. I have a Corner of Essential Fatty Acids i.e. Omega 3,6,9 Oil to use up. Will prolly use it to seal tommorrow's wash day.

Still want to try either Pure Argan or Kukui Nut after I use up some more of these durn oils.

Will replace the EFA Oil. No time soon. But it is a really good oil.

I was going to ask you how you like the Chocalaccio (sp) That Dominican DC?

 

[♥Lamaravilla♥]

There are so many Dominican conditioners that I want to try

 

[La Colocha]

My green tea butter is at the post office, i didn't ask for signature confirmation. Now i can't use it today.

Me Too. Once My Hair gets outta the Grave Yard and starts to really recovering (and I use up some of this other stuff), I will try to incorporate more of these into my Regi.

BUMMER !

 

[redecouvert]

@IDareT's Hair: how did you use your wheat germ oil?

@Lacolochah no!! how do you plan to use the green hair butter
I am also done with qhemet cocoa tree detangler

 

[robot.]

so, i bought a small jar of oyin's shine and define and gave it right away.

i bought some hick's gel for my edges, though, but i also have a goodie bag for my other natural girlfriends. so at least if i don't use it up, someone else will!

 

[chebaby]

T, i used its a 10 when i was relaxed and i dont even remember what i thought about it. i still have a jar sitting around if im not mistaken.

vonnie, i thought about using hairveda whipped gelly for a wash and go but even though i like it i know it would give me white clumps. sometimes when i put it on the front of my hair i have to really smooth it to make sure there is no whiteness.

so i dont like my hair today. its crunchy and feels really really very dry. i used noodle head and eco olive oil gel. also i diffused my hair for the first time. i will never diffuse again. it shrunk my hair too much and im too paranoid about heat.
yall know tonight im going home and i will deep condition over night with kbb hair mask. i just feel like i did too much damage eventhough i probably did none lol.

and sunday i will put my hair in twists for the week with kbb hair milk and hair cream. im going back to what works, karens body beautiful.
urrrrggggg!!!! my hair feels so bad.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@IDareT's Hair: how did you use your wheat germ oil?

I used it to Seal (on top of my creamy daily moisturizing treatments) and I also used it for Hot Oil Treatments.

It is loaded with Ceramides.

RedC OT: How's the Contest coming......I'm voting & voting & voting & voting & voting.........

 

[La Colocha]

As a hair moisturizer, i found it on the internet from some place(can't remember)and im hoping its good. Texas natural supply is always sold out of thiers so im excited to find this.

I did a quick 20 min dc and did not pay attention to what if it gave slip. I probably would paid more attention but I don't have time for that weekdays. It was weird rinsing because it was brown. I'll come back on my long DC day on Sunday and tell more.

 

[mkd]

I used up a bottle of suave washing my cassia out. I don't count those though because I go through them so fast. It takes me a long time to get through other products.

Where is everyone?

Right where is everyone, must be Fri. See I go to sleep early because I'm up early weekdays. The weather in DMV is awesome 70's so folks maybe out enjoying. I'm going to the natural hair show tomorrow, may bump into Charzboss!

 

[fattyfatfat]

I met up with Day36 today. After being good and not buying anything, we went to a fundraiser my job was having at Pizzeria Uno. We got our laugh and drank on (just one drink cuz we're ladies!).

Tomorrow Im going to take it EASY on my hair and just shampoo, DC (with my steamah!) and condition it. Last week I really went overboard with products and I learned thats a huge NO NO.

 

[Americka]

I used up the following:

• Pure and Natural Lite Protein conditioner
• Hairveda Vatika Frosting (use more on skin than hair)
• Skala Avocado conditioner
• Smooth 'N Shine Silk Fusion vial
• John Frieda Frizz Ease Thermal Protection

Che, my hair is feeling kind of nasty today too. I just DC and roller set and it was kind more tangled than usual. I like the way KCCC makes my hair look but I have to find a way to make it more moisturizing.

 

[mkd]

I was rollersetting but I think my baby has an ear infection. She can't sleep so I took my rollers out and my hair is still wet. Guess I will co wash in the morning and bun.

 

[chebaby]

mkd, i know what you mean about the kccc. ive noticed with gels, for me, either they make my hair look nice but feel nasty, or my hair has definition, feels nice, but lacks the hold to get second day hair. im giving up on gels lol. ive never really liked them anyway.

i hope your baby feels better.

tomorrow it will feel so good to go back to kbb products. i hate getting away from what works and then realizing i never should have strayed. the only product i used that was worth straying from kbb was aveda be curly. everything else can kick rocks lol. oh and i like the la bella gel.
