Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.2

This humidity is getting to me. I just might do(the whole shebang) my hair before the week is over. After I get it all done I will have my cuz or my sisters best friend (and newly natural chica) braid up half my head for a while. I will post pics when I get it done, whenever that will be.

I just used up a Hairveda Almond Glaze.

I just bought two containers of Aveda Hair Color in Natural Medium Brown on Ebay. I rather just do the color myself, I am too paranoid of some stylist messing up my hair.

:grin: Hey, Charz!! Great to see you!!

:look: You gonna do a vid about the Aveda Color??
 
Morning Ladies...........Well.........Just think this will be is a long weekend. With Monday off. YAY!:grin:

I can't wait. I am taking the Tuesday & Wednesday after Memorial Day! YAY!:blush:

Have a Good Hair Day Everyone!

:sad: Memorial Day is a work holiday for me.
And, T, I hear you about the heat!!! We are gearing up for mid to high 90s for the rest of the week. It's humid as all heck, too! :nono: SO wants to go on a picnic, too. Might have to rethink that one. I hate the heat and humidity.
 
Picked up 2 Renpure reconstructors from CVS today. The bottle type looks similar to Alba's so I might be aiight. Each tube has a rebate on it too. I can send in both right?
 
^^ Check the fine print. It might say the standard 'one rebate per household.'

Have you ever used any Renpure before??
 
Hey ladies, it going to be smokin hot here starting Wed. I finally use up argan oil I liked it but it will be a while before I buy it again, I have so many other oils. I also gave some chocolacio and KCCC to my sister. So that makes me feel good since this is a use/buy one thread:look:
 
Ltown, what is chocolacio?

im tempted to purchase something but i dont know what lol. i want more afroveda ......
 
^^ Afroveda's Monday Mania is only 5 bucks off the Shikakai oil. Next Monday is the last one, I guess. She should have 15 or 20 percent off the whole site or something. :)
 
Good morning ladies, it is hot as all get out. Im going to be rinsing my hair in the shower everyday. Not cowashing just letting some water hit it. I sweated all night at work, i don't want the colochas to start stankin:lachen: so year rinsing everyday from now until its cool again.
 
Should I do a protein treatment before I apply my Aveda Color? Would the Redken Deep Fuel be strong enough?

Charz, I don't know for sure but I think it would be a good idea to do a protein treatment first since the color is a chemical process. Don't people do a protein treatment before relaxing?

Che, what do you want from afroveda?

I ordered some 24/7 and HV's new conditioner last friday, I hope to get them early next week.
 
IK You didn't ask me......but it's a Dominican DC'er.:lick:

Ooh I've never heard of it. Don't get me started on those leave-in conditioners.

Oh by the way, I was looking thru old files and saw this banner and of course immediately thought of you! LOL :giggle:

i used up giovanni xtreme protein. ok let me tell yall about this stuff. it is amazing. i slathered my hair in coconut oil and then drenched it in water. then i slathered on the xtreme and i didnt even have to use a comb to detangle. i used to finger detangle all the time but those days are gone lol. but today i didnt need a comb at all. then i put on a plastic cap and let it sit for like 5 minutes.
after i rinsed i used a tiny bit of kbb hair milk and then more coconut oil and my curls are so plump right now. they have been so frizzy and mushy and weighed down lately because i havent done protein like i used to and this worked.
 
Hello Ladies.

Hope you are all doing well. I have 50-11 pages to read and catch up on the latest and greatest of the Ladies in the U1B1. I was on nights last week and catching up on sleep before the holiday weekend rush.

I used up a Shea Butter Rinse. Plan on giving away some stuff to another girl at church who is having natural hair issues. I think giving her my doctored up SSI FM to use twice a month and a moisture DC should help.

Plan on washing again Thurs and try out some stuff. I have a few more days before my no buy anything starts so I can have $ to travel this summer and fall.

Have a great day Ladies

i want a 16oz of the whipped gelly:lick:. i dont remember liking it as much as i do now but it is a keeper. i have been using it everyday so i want a bigger jar but i would hate to wait over 2 weeks just for one product and there is nothing else i need from her.
so i was gonna get hairveda whipped gelly and new conditioner but i almost never like her conditioners lol.
 
Che, I think I like HV gelly better than afroveda gelly. I like them both though. The afroveda can get a little hard if I use too much.

thats true about the hardness. today is the first day the front of my hair is a atad bit hard. i think when i use aloe products back to back my hair starts acting up. that why i dont put aloe juice in my spray bottle anymore.

i just might get the hairveda one because i want to try that on twist outs too.
 
i have decided i am back on co washing everyday. on top of that i will slather my hair everyday before co washing with either coconut oil or evoo.

what is that site where you can purchase big bottles of giovanni? i need a big bottle of sas conditioner.
 
so i ended up purchasing the 16oz afroveda pur whipped gelly. i was tempted to get the 32oz but its never that deep:look:

anyhoo tonight i will mist my hair and saturate it in vatika frosting. tomorrow i will co wash with either aussie moist or vo5 moisture milks and then style with kbb hair milk and coconut oil and pur whipped gelly.

Nope. This will be my first time.

I've done wash n go's for the past 2 days and now I'm like :nono:. I think it is bc I am ready to be natural right now. I will wait until the 4th weekend but in the meantime I will be in a love/hate relationship with my transitioning hair. I might as well continue pulling my hair until a bun while I still can right :lachen:.

I finished a Patene Nature Fusion and DB's Pumpkin Condish. Patene is not a repurchase and I will repurchase the Pumpkin Condish at some point.
 
Good Morning ladies,
It is going to be hot in DMV up to 90's for next 2 days.

I use up hair one olive oil, I won't be buying this anymore that pumping to get that stuff out got on my nerves. I probably left some in the bottle but hey it is gone.
