Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.2

Girl you may get hooked, come this time next year we may all be using beemine:lachen:.

Okay isnt that the truth. I first started with the serum, then i purchase the Herbal Shampoo Bar. I just receive another package last week of the Lusicous Moisture, Deja Milk, and also the Curly butter.

Deja Milk is a great moisturizer.. I am so in love with this product.

Curly Butter is great for my braid out and twist out.... My hair come out soft and have a great hold....

Mango Serum has my edges growing back in great. (im so happy)

I'm gifting some stuff today. My friend has been on a personal use it up and it has greatly inspired me. She's been lurking the site and has been working on taking better care of her natural hair. I haven't figured out exactly what. I'm thinking my Shea Moisture stuff since its local, natural, and fairly inexpensive so if she likes it then she can get more of it.

I have a few things in rotation to use up by next week. Trying to find a happy medium with looking good but maintaining low manipulation and retaining length.

I want to try the hair milk as a leave in but im still skeptical of all the coconut oil. I do like the lusicous moisturizer, my hair is still soft. I may not have to moisturize again until wash day.

Right now im giving myself a scalp massage with shea oil. Its really light.
 
I am really loving twist outs now that I have mastered them. I need to work on maintaing them. I guess I can just retwist my hair at night and see how that turns out.
 
Hey Ladies...........What's Up???? :hiya2:

I'm trying a Sample of either KBB Hair Butter or the KBB Hair Cream.

Not sure which? It was also in my Favorite Scent Coco-Lime!:lick:

Thanks B!:kiss:

I hope to use up a couple things this wash day.

I think I will wash on Saturday so I can get back on my regular schedule.:yep:

omg mkd we are always on the same page. i just mastered the twist out too. the only problem i have with it is that my hair is really short with the twists. with a braid out my hair is more elongated.
 
oh and i havent used up anything else yet.

im almost out of co wash conditioners. after im done with tj ns i have a few bottle of he hh and he ltr left over from 2 summers ago:ohwell:. i guess i'll use those.

Some ladies do a few chunky twists at night and take down and refluff in the morning.

I started doing flat twists Ltown and that really made a difference for me. I have been using knot today and KCCC and getting really good results. I do about 10 or 11 twists and roll the ends on small rollers.
 
i havent learned to get second day hair with any style except shingling with mj curly pudding. my second day hair is always frizzy.
 
im almost out of qhemet soft hold gel, but i only use it on twists so it'll last another month maybe.

It works great! The Lusicous Moisturizer made my hair feel hard as a rock, wonder if it has to much potein in it. I tried it on wet hair, dry hair,mixed with oil, even clarify my hair.... Just to end up with the same results. I gave it to my she that has perm hair and she love it...

I haven neither and it drives me crazy... I finsh a bottle of Curls conditioner (love it)... I want to try the curls8 line. I will be in New Orleans Friday so i will get a chance to purchase a few things.
 
I've been doing 3 strand chunky twists about 15. I let them airdry or I will use the bonnet if I'm short on time. They look better IMO when they have time to set which is usually if I airdry them especially overnight. I get 2-4 day hair with this style.

I want to learn how to flat twist. My friend just learned and it came out cute esp now that she is getting better. She can get 2nd day hair but does retwist them like 6 or so chunky twist and it looks nice the next day. She does use wrap lotion to help set them.

Hi Vonnie, doing 3 strand twist is unique that is awesome technique. Go watch a couple of youtube you'll get it. I found using my middle finger to be more helpful.

Sorry to hear that, do you use other products with protein?
 
Morning All,

I had a free day yesterday and had to do my son's twist over which is an all day event after he gets home from school. HUh!

He had his twist in for three weeks and I couldn't stand it any longer.

I washed his hair twice with Paul Mitchel Tea Tree SHampoo, Once with Matrix Hydrating SHampoo. He then went under the dryer with SE Green Tub megasilk. I twisted his hair in single twist, his hair is long enough now for me to do double twist comfortably. :)

Just one product in that Curl Tea Conditioner and i only use that once a week. Other then that i used Curls Cream shampoo or Bee Mine Herbal bar. That condition with Curls Coconut condition or Curls Tea condition. I moisture with Qhemet Burdock Root Cream and i just add Deja Milk as a leave in... that is it...

I know Deja Milk has coconut oil in it which has protein but when i tried the luscious on my hair i did not use the deja milk...

Okay I just read this I will also check this out, does your hair have to be long?

I checked it out whew, that looks awesome but like a lot of work.

Fortunately my son will have to deal with the single and double I can do, those look like I'd be at it for and extra 4 hours. :(

Morning ladies!

Thanks for all your sweet and caring words. :) :kiss: Mama T, and Ive updated the siggy as per your request. lol.
 
I just picked up my HV order from the mailbox.


The smell of Vatika Frosting :lick:, I havent even used it but the smell is to die for. I keep opening up the container just to take a whiff. I didnt know it would smell this good. If all goes well I might have to look beyond the crappy waiting period and stan for HV.

I don't get the 3 strand twist at all either!
 
i got my kbb in the mail today. just two bottles of hair milk in my fave scent: cranberry cocktail. ummmm she changed the bottles and now they look like hairveda's bottles. no offense to hairveda but those bottles look cheap.

i did a second day puff today and i love it. i will start doing this so that i will only co wash every other day.
and starting on monday i will try twist outs again and try to refresh them for at least one day.

i used cocolatte moisture mask on my hair today and i can very much still smell it everytime i turn my head. this stuff is strong.
i had to take all of my afroveda out of the refrigerator because they started to get water in them. and the hemp butter was dang near frozen lol.
 
Thanks so much MKD that is my elder son, :)
My big boy.
They grow so quick, :cry:
They do grow quickly. Mine are 2 and 3 (almost 4) and I miss having a baby. I kind of want another one and then I kind of don't. Its an internal battle.
