I calculated how much with a 25% discount would the products from Shescentit I want would cost with shipping. The discount barely covers the shipping :cry: :cry:

It's 55 bucks!

I want all the new butters, the Fixing Gel and the new Okra conditioner and reformulated Avocado Conditioner!!1

WOW!:ohwell:

I want to be strategic in what I get, I don't want to come outta the holiday weekend looking:spinning:

If HV has a Sale I'll get the Sitrinillah. AV the Ashlii Amla. Not sure about any place else? Maybe the SSI Okra-Dokra:look: .... just for the simple fact that I lurve a good Reconstructor:lick:

I'm done with AV and I will only be getting the Moist 24/7 gallons from HV.

My hair is in twists for the time being so I don't have to worry about it.

Do you relax bone straight Ms. Terri?

I know, I am moving to DC in October so I need to cut back. You have any advice? I can afford 1300 a month. I don't want to live in a shady area, or with rats, and roaches.

Why not look at Upper Marlboro, Clinton or near Andrews AFB area closer to Metro. I can't recommend anything in DC area, that's why I'm in Southern Maryland. There is some new appt in Waldorf, 1br mid $900/2br low $1000 call 1888-591-5754. I'm 20 min from Branch metro line. Get Sat Washington Post, they have apartment guide and it maybe more DC apt to view.
 
Oh and I'm not getting the Marshmallow Cream from SSI. It's first ingredient is aloe vera juice :barf:

ETA: The gel has it too :(

At the Salon I was.... Girl, this DIY stuff, I'm prolly more Texlaxed. It has never been Bone Straight since I took over.:lachen:Plus, the only heat I've been using is from my Dryer.

Good Advice Ltown.:grin: Charz, very proud of you for your Big Move. I wanted to live in Georgetown. I use to travel to DC alot in my former job. (Once a month) Mostly on the Hill and mostly taking the Red-Eye between DC and OH.:nono: I have stayed in Crystal City Va. a time or two.

Have any naturals in here gotten their hair shaped? I am really liking my hair curly and out but I want it to have a bit more shape, maybe I should get some layers?

My stylist was asking me to shape my hair. My crown grows super fast and it's at shoulder length but I don't want it cut off :(. I want my crown to reach apl and bsl along with the rest of my hair, and I want to have a comfortable low ponytail.
 
Hey Ladies,:wave:

The lights are back on after that tornado/thunderstorm yesterday. My kitchen and 2nd bedroom flooded (I live on the 2nd floor) but it was an easy fix.

I'm hoping SSI has a sale. I want some of the new stuff, BB, Super Soft honey and Avocado condish. The reformulated Avocado is great got it in my last order in the fall/winter.

Think I'm going to be in a WnG pony this weekend. I used the Avocado to cowash (left some in) put KBB hair milk and a lil castor oil to seal/slick edges. My hair is nice and soft today. and not greasy. I hope I don't get SSKs from this esp since I just did a major S & D Wed.

I think I am going to have to find someone who can cut hair while its curly if I decide to go this route. I don't know if my stylist can do it.

Glad you are OK Vonnie!
 
I love the reformulated Avocado, too, Vonnie. I'll have to reup on that soon, too. As for the new Marshmallow, hmmm, not too sure about that one. I thought I liked it at first but after continued use, I think it might be drying for me. I'm going to try the Amazon one this week.
 
hi ladies
this weekend im just washing and going and if i get my products tomorrow i will deep treat on sunday.
today my hair is in a wash and go curly afro with one side pinned up. i like it but it does not feel soft at all. instead of me using kbb hair milk and cream i used curls milkshake and monoi de tahiti oil. im going to mist my hair with water and lightly apply some kbb hair milk. i hope that works to make my hair soft.
 
Hey ladies, i think im going to wash early today to get it over with. Co-washing and detangling with mbc, dcing with curl junkie, braiding with deja and lucious.
 
Afternoon Ladies:grin: I just clarified with Avalon Organics Lemon, Shea & Babbasu 'Poo, and did my Nexxus Emergencee Treatment

Now, I am going to steam with Ashlii Amla.

And I'm with La, finish this mug up early!:lachen:
 
Used Up that Ashlii Amla (I am sooooooo Sad). The "jar" and the color of the product are both deceiving.

I thought there was much more in there than it actually was.:blush:

Yep. Imma hafta break down and buy it. Even if she has 10%:perplexed I'll prolly get it.:sad:

I still can't believe how that Jar faked me out!:blush:

I don't know if she was a member here :) She is pretty, I like the pony.
So what kind of weave were you thinking about? :D
 
Im dcing right now and the sun is still up:lachen:, that's a first. I haven't been to sleep yet since getting off work this morning. Actually im not even that tired. This curl junkie smoothing conditioner smells good but its a bit thinner than the rehab. I used quite a bit but we will see how it works. Its cheaper with more product. Didn't use up anything today.
 
i just made an appointment to get kinky twists done on sunday:look:. i guess its really spur of the moment but i have been thinking about putting my hair away for a long time now anyway.
 
oh so let me think about my treatments now. ok tomorrow morning i will pre poo for an hour with ORS mayo. then i will shampoo with aphogee shampoo for damaged hair and do a 10 minute treatment with aveda drt. then i will slather on kbb hair mask under heat for 20 mintues. then i will use kbb hair milk for moisture and then heat protectant. then braid in big braids to strech and then when 80% dry i will blow dry.
then im going to moisturize my hair with shea butter and oil.
 
Hey Diva's to the 10th Power!:hiya2:

Well, I finished up my Hair.:ohwell: I did use up the Ashlii, a 5.0 Tube of Nexxus Ensure and a Vial of Fermodyl. I think I am done with the Fermodyl. Will replace at some point.:perplexed

I have a back-up of the Nexxus Ensure, but may switch back to Roux Porosity Control next wash-day (I have 2 bottles of PC).

I am putting Curl Junkie Rehab Treatment into Rotation with Sitrinillah and Banana Honey Hibiscus.

I like having Options.......:spinning:

i keep hearing about reniece and how she specializes in healthy hair so i wanted to go to her and get a weave. i dont know what kind because ive never had one before lol. i was thinking about a full head weave with a bang. and maybe apl.

i read about people hair breaking off because of the texture of the kinky twist hair. and i figured that when i felt the hair in the store so i called the salon back and told them i would be getting senegalese twist. im not really worried about those twists because ive had them before and reallyy they are just basic twists. i will make it clear not to twist tight and not to cut the hair that sometimes sticks out the twists(they call it a trim:rolleyes:). other then that i think they will be easy to maintain and moisturize.
 
Okay....Ya'll I am really liking the KBB Hair Butter.:lick:

At first I wasn't so sure:ohwell: (so I put it away). Recently, I pulled it out again and I really like it!

i just found out about a natural hair salon in my area. their slogan is kinky hair is good hair. during the colder months i may frequent them for two strand twists and styles like cornrows but it seems like they specialize in locs.

Where? What's the name of it? Ya'll know I will be paying folks to twist up and style my hair :yep:.

I finished my jar of Lil Better Butter. It will be a repurchase at some point but I want to continue to get my stash down.

Happy belated B-Day Ltown!
