I used up a SSI Hair Milk. So I've had this since last summer and I liked it when I first but it's been hiding for the last 3-6mos. I don't think I'm going to repurchase since I have 6 KBB hair milks and a handful of other leave-ins. Plus I don't like the pump of that bottle it gets really hard to use.
 
Hey ladies, Happy Saturday. Well went to concert last night seen Keith Sweat, he was great like he never left the scene. Jazz person(don't really know him) but he was good Dave Coz, he brought out Sheila E, she was great too. Gladys Knight ended the show. I'm enjoying my mini vacation. I'm going to see Frankie Beverly, Envogue, Kirk Walum and someone else??

Che, do your hair last in twist thought your hair was fine? I know my hair fine and frizz like day two!
 
Hey ladies,

I have so much going on that I havent been posting regularly. Hope all is well. And, I used up a SSI avocado ccondish, Strinillah condish, and some body/face products :giggle: And, Ive given away some things to the young lady at work. Oh and Im almost finished the KBB Hair Milk (I shouldve bought more during the sale :/). Thought I was on my way to mixing my own stuff, but....SOMEBODY loaded me up again :kiss:
 
Good morning all, im not doing anything today just relaxing. I do like the curl junkie conditioner it left my hair nice and soft.:yep:
 
Making today my hair day because I will be going to get a mani/pedi tomorrow and going to a pool party. So needed :yep:. This week was a bit hectic and stressful but I got to see and talk to PC quite a bit :love:.
 
Hey Ladies!!!!!:hiya2:

What's Up? I just applied some KBB Hair Butter.:lick:

Gon' try to take it easy on product this week.:perplexed

Looking forward to getting a relaxer next weekend....:love:

Maybe in 2012!~:lachen::rolleyes:

Remember: I started from nothing. A Bad Chemical Service coupled with Double Processing of both Relaxer and Color.

I was just telling a friend on the phone yesterday, I wish I woulda' shaved and then started over from scratch instead of trying to grow/trim/grow/trim. :nono:

Seems like this approach as taking too long.:ohwell: Progress has been S-L-O-W (IMHO):sad:, but it's been fun.:grin:

If I had it to do over again (knowing what I know now thanks to LHCF) that's what I woulda' done.:sad:
 
hey ladies
ltown, i havent had twists with extentions in years so i have no idea lol. we will see though.

im getting ready to do my hair and i hope this blw dry goes better than the last.
 
Finally finished a bottle of Frizz Ease Dream Curls Curl Perfecting spray (eventual repurchase:lick:) and Redken Curl Bounce Curl Perfecting Lotion (:rolleyes:eh, I could take it or leave it).


:clap:

I did the grow/trim/grow thing, too. :yep: And it seemed like it took forever, for real!! But it really didn't. Just hang in there. You'll get up one day and be like 'Damn.' And I'm sure you have been making great progress!! :grin:

Thanks Ms B!:kiss: So, you know exactly where I'm coming from.:kiss:

Growing and Working with previously severely damaged hair:barf: is a whole different 'challenge' than somebody just growing out their hair.:yep:
 
I am stressed out so today and tommorrow will be hair days. Pre Poo, Dc, styling and the whole shebang. I'll use up a few more things.
 
i just got my sweet hair pudding in the mail. i was thinking about cancelling my hair appointment and using that money to papmper myself with a mani and pedi and get my eye brows done.
i might just go to the natural salon i found whenever i want a real protective style and get my own hair braided or twisted.
im just so confused with what i should do.
 
I am about to head out and get a mani/pedi myself. Just wanted to pop in and say hi ladies!!! Have a great day.
 
hey ladies! :grin:

it's been so long! thanks T, for bringing me back. :kiss:

i've been using up my products and about half my stash is halfway empty! i haven't been buying a lot, either; maybe a few samples here and there.

i also finally made a body butter that came out perfect! :lick: i'm so proud of myself; i gifted it to a few friends of mine who're really into things like oyin and hairveda, so i'm eagerly awaiting their feedback.

i also went to hiwot, who colored charz' hair. i love her! i'll have a full review on the experience.

how've you all been? :yep:

:giggle: Not there yet. I'd say we're in the really, really good friends that flirt a lot and are really attracted to each other stage. I want to tread lightly. I haven't liked someone like this in a long time. At this point he wouldn't be able to give me the attention I need :look: so I'm okay with where we are. I had some little girl trying to ease her way in but that ain't happening and I got my eye on her :yep:.

I finished Shea Moisture's Restorative Condtioner. This will be a repurchase once I get my cowash stash down a bit.

What are the ingredients of your purrfect body butter?

i didn't measure, so these are approximations, but i used maybe 6 oz of shea butter, 2 tablespoons of avocado butter, and a little less than a spoonful of hemp seed butter. i wanted to fill four 4-oz jars and i made just enough! usually i end up with a big ole jar of something that takes forever to use up because i didn't like it. :ohwell:

but from there, i added 1-2 tablespoons of olive, avocado, coconut, and castor oil, and a tiny bit of vitamin e. i whipped and just added more oils as i saw fit. i added the fragrance in last (dulce de leche :lick:).

it came out very fluffy and smooth, and didn't fall or melt, even after being outside for maybe an hour! :grin: i wanted a thicker butter, though, so maybe i won't whip as much/long? or maybe find something to add as a thickener.

usually, my butters end up really greasy and oily, but i watched a vid on youtube where the lady said the oils should be a compliment to the shea butter, and that was the trick. :yep: i had some cornstarch and dry-flo powder on hand in case it got too greasy, but i didn't use it because i didn't need it and i was scared it might mess up what i already had (since it would be my first time using it).

i'm thinking of buying some mica powders/additives for texture next time.
