Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.2

hello ladies
yesterdai purchased the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie i had been wanting. i wish i never purchased it :( the smell is so freaking strong its annoying. in the jar it smells like a mix of coconuts and fruity stuff lol. it smells yumm. but as soon as i rub it in my hands it turns perfumey. i guess it just doesnt mix well with me. and that suck because i love the texture of it.

anyway im still undecided on if i want to deep treat my hair today, which i need to do, because i have this refresh a wash and go down pat now lol. i think i will deep treat though because i havent done so in a long while. so i will slather my hair in evoo and then deep treat with either kbb mask or oyin honey hemp.

ive also been thinking about a full head kinky weave but we know that wont happen lmao.

Afternoon Peeps! Hope everyone is doing well.:grin:

I got an e-mail back from Mozeke and she said she would be fine putting the Coconut Kokum in a Jar. So, now I need to decide if/when Imma re-order.:blush:

Will prolly Co-Wash on Tuesday. Trying to use up some stuff.:look:

so i still have the honey hemp in my hair along with some evoo and im not sure when i will rinse it out.

i really do think i am going to get some braids in my hair so that i can leave it alone for a while. im not sure yet though.
 
Hello Ladies,

How is everyone?

Chebaby that sounds great about the braids. I think for my florida trip I might get some braids so that I don't have to deal with humidity, or styling :), Maybe braided with a nice design into a pony so I could put a fake pony on :D
 
I used up my DB's Daily Leave In Conditioner yesterday. I have one back up. I am moving on to Giovanni Direct Leave In. I have a liter so that will be a minute. Since I'm primarily down to staples with a few new things to try for some reason I'm not rotating. I'm using one product until it's done. Interesting, huh? I may start rotating again at some point but for now I'm fine.

I tried Hairveda's Acai Berry Conditioner on Saturday and I like it. It's not as thick as Moist PRO nor does it smell as good but I still like it. My hair felt really good after airdrying and the curls, coils, and waves were popping. I will add this to my protein condish stash.

I thought about that. I think I will. Thanks Shay! And thanks for telling DB to add the Pump:grin:



@ 1st Bolded: During her 50% Memorial Weekend Sale I bought::lick::lick::lick:

The Carrot Masque *Based on Brownie & Shay's reviews
The Deep Conditioning Masque
The Coconut Kokum Hair Milk *which I love
The Whipped Avacado Hair Cream *which I also love, but it doesn't seem to get really good reviews
The Avacado Cleansing Cream *Based on Shay's review/recommendation *Have not used this yet.

Me and Vonnie ordered around the same time. We both love it. I don't think she is too fond of the Avacado Whipped Cream but I love it. She's Natural, I'm relaxed and it makes my hair feel good!

@2nd Bolded: I have not:nono:

I realized my mistake...protein overload:wallbash:. I was using several products that all had protein in it and my hair was just getting hard and crunchy and lil dry. It wasn't the Avocado Whipped Cream that was the issue.

Now that I went on a pure moisture binge:lachen: for the last week my hair is back normal. I will revisit the Avocado Whipped cream in a few weeks and see how it really works.
 
So, this past week, I used up another Moist 24/7, another Dumb Blonde reconstructor, and a Hydratherma Naturals oil.
I'm going to get some Redken Extreme CAT and some JBCO this week. I think I need a stronger protein right now.

I liked it.:look: It didn't leave my hair to hard and the smell seems to fade with time but I like sweet smells. I really like it for my twist outs- good hold but still nice and soft.

I was thinking about buying it but I don't know how much use I will get out of it.

Shay were did you get a liter of Giovanni direct leave in?
 
Charz your color is really nice.

i saw a girl today standing at a bus stop with a really nice blonde curly afro. her coils were really small but you could see them clearly and it was beautiful.

anyway today i co washed my hair twice today after leaving school and being in the sun for a few hours my hair was so dry and stiff from the sun. so i co washed with kckt left it in and then put on some evoo and shea butter. today i slicked my hair back in a puff with afroveda gelly.

oh and i used up a bottle of AO GPB. i have a back up.
 
I decided to henna today. I left it on for like 4 hours or so. I have 2 packs left. I used up the rest of Tresemme Naturals.

Sitting here DCing with Shea Moisture, VF, honey, and a little WDT (to thicken it back up). My hair was feeling extra dry which may have been from being out in the heat yesterday at a Jazz Festival.

The AC isn't working right now so I refuse to use any heating product what so ever.
The management have sent 2 people now and still nothing. About to go to someone's house with air.
 
Evening Ladies............just applied a bit of KBB Hair Milk (getting ready to have a little company this evening:spinning:)

Glad to be outta the wig. (It gets old:perplexed) Anyway, thinking about co-washing tommorrow.:lick:

Not close to using up anything. I think my KBB Cranberry Cocktail Hair Milk will be the next thing to go down.:look:
 
Hey, girls!! I'm here at work, of course! :sad: It has been soooo hot for the past week. It's killing me. And its supposed to continue all this week, too.
So, anyway, I did end up getting some Redken Extreme CAT to use this week. I think it will do my hair good. :yep:

This week, I might use up a Christine Gant Mixed Greens, a Mizani Renew Strength shampoo, and an 8oz Thermasmooth conditioner.

I didn't get any hair stuff from this weekends sales, although I did indulge in some Foaming Cream Soaps from Jasmine's (6!) and some butters and lotions. :lick:

They may possibly be getting it from Massage Warehouse. Check there Ltown:yep:

IK Che just bought a Gallon or Liter of Giovanni, and I think she said Massage Warehouse:look: :lachen:
Click to expand...

They it in liters so that good if I run out. I'll keep looking locally so I don't have to pay for shipping.
 
yea i got my giovanni from massage warehouse.


next things on my list to use up are:
kbb hair milk
kinky curly knot today
giovanni sas conditioner
aussie moist(which i mixed with evoo, monoi de tahiti, grapeseed oil)
 
i just read this on another site so tomorrow i will heat up some evoo and coconut oil for 15 seconds and then slather it on my hair. im going to leave it on under a cap for at least 20 mintues and then co wash it out.

i also decided that i will only shampoo maybe once every 2 weeks or once a month. i like not shampooing lol.

oh and if i like the hot oil treat i will do it once a week from now on. esp. in the winter.
 
when i used to use evoo my hair hated it. i mean it could be mixed into producst but by itself it would meke my hair hair and crunchy so i stayed away from it. recently i started using it again and i love it for everything from sealing to pre co wash treats.

Brownie, how do you like the mixed greens?

I like it but I won't repurchase. The scent is a bit strong for me. It reminds me of my vaporizer from when I was little. Besides, I have other similar products that work well.

I have to edit this. I got mixed up. The Herbal Rich hair butter smells like the vaporizer. I like the Mixed Greens.

As T said, Che said, and you already know :lachen:www.massagewarehouse.com

I finished my Claudie's Honeysuckle Cream Rinse. I may not replace it. It's not as thick as I like. I do like the smell though. The problem was I didn't have enough for my entire head and it was put up against Amla Cream Rinse and lost :blush:. We'll see.

I forgot I am rotating my dc's.

I'm starting to question my HV's ACV rinses too. I feel like my hair feels rough after them. I think I may be fine with just a cold water rinse :yep:.
 
Hi ladies!

I haven't used up anything but I haven't bought anything either. I need suggestions on what to use for my braid outs. I am relaxed but I can't get it too look right. Thx ladies!
 
i just made a purchase for a jar of sweet hair pudding. then i went to curl mart and placed an order for curl junkie hibiscus and banana deep fix, curly junkie curl assurance leave in and oyin burnt sugar pomade.
the burnt sugar pomade is a replacement because mine is over a year old and i know most of oyins products need to be used in 6 months. the curl junkie leave in had been on sale for $10 for the longest so i finally decided to get it and i missed the curl junkie deep fix.
the sweet hair pudding is because lately i have become addicted to products specifically for twists, braids and styles like bantu knots.
 
Hey Ladies: Happy Tuesday. Wasn't on much last night,:look: but wanted to give you all a Big Shout Out and Bump this thread.:grin:

On my Way to the Office, just doused my hair in KBB Cranberry Cocktail:lick: as I prepare to put this wig on today in 90 degree heat.:blush: (Possible thunderstorms tho')

Anyway, Have a Blessed and Prosperous Day and I'll catch up with Ya'll later.:yep:

Will be Co-washing this evening...So stay tuned.....:spinning: :lachen:

*like ya'll really care*:rolleyes: :lachen:
 
OMG! Nobody bumped our Poor Little thread today.:sad:

I'm sitting here, just finished DC'ing (under Steama' with Curl Junkie) letting things cool down.:look:

Will rinse out and do a quick Goldwell Treatment for Dry & Porous Hair and a little quick rinse with Skala and finishing that out with PC.:yep:

Won't use up anything this wash day, but it's all good tho'.:perplexed
