Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.2

[IDareT'sHair]

Umm IDT.. just wondering.. do you even try to use one before you buy one.. or have you just gotten rid of that concept.. tee heee...

Well it's like this MRS. Fab :

I got into this Natural Product buying "thing" thanks to Shay, Brownie, Che, Vonnie, mkd, Ltown, La Colocha, RedC, Charz and everyone else that buys predominately natural/handmade products.

Mostly everybody up in this piece buys natural/handmade products so...........I decided to try them out too!

Well........it just got a little outta hand, but I'm reeling it back in now

Hold up why you got to name all of us I wish it was a little cheaper to try things.

Hey Mkd, I've been tired this week and it's hot so I'm crashing slowing.

 

[Shay72]

Ltown-- this heat has me mad

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm here!

Hi Everyone!

I just rubbed on a little Mega-Tek. I think Imma hafta cut back on all the spritzin'. I think it's keeping my hair a little too moist.

And I don't think my hair is liking it as much as I like spraying it.

So, it's going to hafta' be something I do every coupla' days.

Maybe if my hair was out and not encapsulated in a Wig at 90+ degree heat.

 

[chebaby]

im here. hey ladies.

im tempted to purchase miss jessies rapid recovery from target but i never see it there. they are always sold out. but i wont purchase it anyway. maybe later. i need to purchase co wash conditioners though. right now all i have is suave coconut, darcys pumpkin conditioner, and TW herbal conditioner. i may have some vo5 laying around somewhere.

I've been thinking about my Co-Washers too Che. Naturally, I have Suave & VO5 (but I only use that to rinse out Henna).

I have HV MoistPRO & Moist24/7 and some Oyin Charz sent me. I also have some tubes of Paul Mitchell & Nexxus and maybe some J/A/S/O/N and a few others to get rid of. I also have Jasmine's.

I'll prolly stick to HV & maybe 1 or 2 others once I get my stash down.

I think I also have a Liter of Elucence MB. Oh Yeah, and some Alterna. So, I'm straight for my Co-Wasing Conditioners (for now).

thanx for reminding me. i forgot all about the JASON conditioner you sent me a while back. i think it was jojoba conditioner??? or maybe it was aloe lol. but its a full bottle because i only used it once.

 

[Brownie518]

Hey!!!

I think I'll wash my hair tonight instead of tomorrow. They issued a heat advisory from 1pm to 9pm and there's a tornado watch not too far from me. erplexed Sooo, I'll do it soon just in case the power goes out tomorrow.

In the next few weeks, I should use up the following:

PM Super Skinny Treatment
Moist 24/7
SSI Moisture Mist
Hydratherma Naturals leave in
Motions CPR
Porosity Control
Bee Mine deep conditioner

 

[Brownie518]

I did use up an Amala Cream Rinse, a StrongSexyHair Strengthening treatment, and a Hello Hydration conditioner on Wednesday.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Put my hair in chunky twists for a twist out Sunday. Used my fave combo- Jessicurl Aloeba, BRBC, Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie. I wasn't able to use up anything.

I'm going to Chicago next week for a conference. I've been trying to figure out which products I'm going to put in those 3oz container things. I'm thinking leave-ins and a spritz since I'll be in a twist out. Probably still won't use up anything.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Oh and what was all this I was seeing about today (well yesterday) being Black Friday?

Did I miss the memo about this? Is it like the equivalent of the Xmas in July?

I must have missed it. Maybe it is Xmas in July type thing. I did get some sale emails last week saying Xmas in July. IDK

I had some more conditioners that were just about finished so I used up a SilkySexyHair conditioner and a Skala Shea Butter masque.

Bee Mine is having 25% off conditioners while supplies last. No code, they are discounted on the site.

Of the J/A/S/O/N conditioners, which ones do you think are the most moisturising? I only tried the Sea Kelp one and was not overly impressed. Thanks in advance

The Biotin is very good and I like the Jojoba.

I have an Apricot one in my stash and a Lavender one I haven't tried yet. The Lavender one says "Strengthening" on the front of the bottle, so I guess it's protein. The Front of the Bottle usually has a brief description.

I used the Biotin one as a co-washer and a DC with heat (since it said you can use it as a DC'er for 15 minutes) and it was very good IMO.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I still have not received a shipping notice from Amaka Creations and she finally responded to my numerous e-mails asking when my products would be shipped.

She did slightly apologize for the amount of time it took her to respond.

I also asked her about this 10% discount she had, but it only applied if you followed her on "Twitter" and she did not offer it to me (as a first time customer).

I asked her when my products would be shipped and she said it depends on 'where my order is in the que' *yeah...okay* I'm sure the Que is soooooo FULL.

Overall, I personally feel her customer service skills leave alot to be desired and I won't be placing an order with her again.

I don't like e-attitude specially when you got about $45.00 of my hard earned money that I coulda' spent with someone else.

 

[Ltown]

Good Morning,

It's HOT UP AROUND HERE. I'm not doing any hair today just chillin staying cool. IDareT I like to know how/where you have your hair products stored? I have mine under the bathroom sink and one small plastic cube.

I had the Jojoba one as well and liked it. The Biotin one was okay. If they weren't so expensive or maybe if they wowed me more I would keep the Jojoba in rotation.

I got them on sale for like $5-6 at a health food store.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Sitting here all Henna'ed Up tightly wrapped in Saran Wrap.

I'll wash it out in about another 1/2 hour and start on the Indigo. Imma use VO5 Moisture Milks to wash it out.

I hope to use up the entire bottle between that and Indigo.

Will Steam for about an hour with my last bit of HV Sitrinillah (in one jar) and Curl Junkie Deep Fix Banana & Honey

 

[IDareT'sHair]
