Well it's like this MRS. Fab:look: :

I got into this Natural Product buying "thing" thanks to Shay, Brownie, Che, Vonnie, mkd, Ltown, La Colocha, RedC, Charz and everyone else that buys predominately natural/handmade products.

Mostly everybody up in this piece buys natural/handmade products so...........I decided to try them out too!:look:

Well........it just got a little outta hand, but I'm reeling it back in now:look:

Hold up why you got to name all of us:lachen: I wish it was a little cheaper to try things.

Hey Mkd, I've been tired this week and it's hot so I'm crashing slowing.
 
I'm here! :look:

Hi Everyone!:wave:

I just rubbed on a little Mega-Tek. I think Imma hafta cut back on all the spritzin'. I think it's keeping my hair a little too moist. :nono:

And I don't think my hair is liking it as much as I like spraying it.:lachen:

So, it's going to hafta' be something I do every coupla' days.:yep:

Maybe if my hair was out and not encapsulated in a Wig at 90+ degree heat.:lachen:
 
im here. hey ladies.

im tempted to purchase miss jessies rapid recovery from target but i never see it there. they are always sold out. but i wont purchase it anyway. maybe later. i need to purchase co wash conditioners though. right now all i have is suave coconut, darcys pumpkin conditioner, and TW herbal conditioner. i may have some vo5 laying around somewhere.

I've been thinking about my Co-Washers too Che.:ohwell: Naturally, I have Suave & VO5 (but I only use that to rinse out Henna).

I have HV MoistPRO & Moist24/7 and some Oyin Charz sent me.:grin: I also have some tubes of Paul Mitchell & Nexxus and maybe some J/A/S/O/N and a few others to get rid of. I also have Jasmine's.

I'll prolly stick to HV & maybe 1 or 2 others once I get my stash down.

I think I also have a Liter of Elucence MB. Oh Yeah, and some Alterna. So, I'm straight for my Co-Wasing Conditioners (for now).:yep:

thanx for reminding me. i forgot all about the JASON conditioner you sent me a while back. i think it was jojoba conditioner??? or maybe it was aloe lol. but its a full bottle because i only used it once.
 
Hey!!!

I think I'll wash my hair tonight instead of tomorrow. They issued a heat advisory from 1pm to 9pm and there's a tornado watch not too far from me. :perplexed Sooo, I'll do it soon just in case the power goes out tomorrow.

In the next few weeks, I should use up the following:

PM Super Skinny Treatment
Moist 24/7
SSI Moisture Mist
Hydratherma Naturals leave in
Motions CPR
Porosity Control
Bee Mine deep conditioner
 
I did use up an Amala Cream Rinse, a StrongSexyHair Strengthening treatment, and a Hello Hydration conditioner on Wednesday.
 
Put my hair in chunky twists for a twist out Sunday. Used my fave combo- Jessicurl Aloeba, BRBC, Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie. I wasn't able to use up anything.

I'm going to Chicago next week for a conference. I've been trying to figure out which products I'm going to put in those 3oz container things. I'm thinking leave-ins and a spritz since I'll be in a twist out. Probably still won't use up anything.
 
Oh and what was all this I was seeing about today (well yesterday) being Black Friday?

Did I miss the memo about this? Is it like the equivalent of the Xmas in July?

I must have missed it. Maybe it is Xmas in July type thing. I did get some sale emails last week saying Xmas in July. IDK

I had some more conditioners that were just about finished so I used up a SilkySexyHair conditioner and a Skala Shea Butter masque.

:look: Bee Mine is having 25% off conditioners while supplies last. No code, they are discounted on the site.

Of the J/A/S/O/N conditioners, which ones do you think are the most moisturising? I only tried the Sea Kelp one and was not overly impressed. Thanks in advance

The Biotin is very good and I like the Jojoba.

I have an Apricot one in my stash and a Lavender one I haven't tried yet.:spinning: The Lavender one says "Strengthening" on the front of the bottle, so I guess it's protein. The Front of the Bottle usually has a brief description.

I used the Biotin one as a co-washer and a DC with heat (since it said you can use it as a DC'er for 15 minutes) and it was very good IMO.:yep:
 
I still have not received a shipping notice from Amaka Creations:rolleyes: and she finally responded to my numerous e-mails asking when my products would be shipped.:rolleyes:

She did slightly apologize for the amount of time it took her to respond.:rolleyes:

I also asked her about this 10% discount she had, but it only applied if you followed her on "Twitter" and she did not offer it to me (as a first time customer).:rolleyes:

I asked her when my products would be shipped and she said it depends on 'where my order is in the que' *yeah...okay* I'm sure the Que is soooooo FULL.:look:

Overall, I personally feel her customer service skills leave alot to be desired and I won't be placing an order with her again.

I don't like e-attitude specially when you got about $45.00 of my hard earned money that I coulda' spent with someone else.:nono:

I had the Jojoba one as well and liked it. The Biotin one was okay. If they weren't so expensive or maybe if they wowed me more I would keep the Jojoba in rotation.

I got them on sale for like $5-6 at a health food store.
 
Sitting here all Henna'ed Up tightly wrapped in Saran Wrap.:blush:

I'll wash it out in about another 1/2 hour and start on the Indigo. Imma use VO5 Moisture Milks to wash it out.

I hope to use up the entire bottle between that and Indigo.:ohwell:

Will Steam for about an hour with my last bit of HV Sitrinillah (in one jar) and Curl Junkie Deep Fix Banana & Honey:yep:
 
Man.......Where ya'll at?:rolleyes: Either Sleeping in or out someplace having Fun!:yep:

Ya'll musta' stayed up/out too late last night.

Ya'll knew I was gon' be up earrrly doin' my hair and need some company!:lachen:


*crickets continue to chirp loudly*:blush:
 
T--:lachen:. I'm not gonna be able to keep you company today. At my friends house getting ready for a cookout. Well we will be inside due to the heat :rofl: but looking to have a lot of fun. Before anyone asks yes PC will be here too.
