Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.3

[IDareT'sHair]

So I'm just looking at the whole process differently..not to say I will stop buying.. a lot of my buying was to support BOB's.. but now it's like ....they want their profit margin to be off the chain and I can't support that. Modest increases over time are understandable and welcome... but just a hike or gouge.. fab.cannot.do.it.

@*fabulosity* IA with this Entire Statement.

I let ya'll get me all strung out on these Natcha' Products, but if they outprice themselves, I will have no problem returning to Joico, Alfaparf, L'anza, Redken, Nexxus, Paul Mitchell, Tigi, Sebastian, Pureology & others.

We want to help our 'peeps' out and see them be successful and all, but DANG.....show us some love too.

[IDareT'sHair I kinda wanna wear it straight all fall/winter. My hair has been getting SSK like something fierce. If I could get away with only needing to flat iron again 2-3 weeks, I will do it. I'm kinda at my goal length and as long as my hair reverts ok, I'm fine with not making progress actually. Progress would be icing on the cake, but my hair is finally what I want it to be.

Oh and Dudley's DRC-28 is the best thing in the world. I used it before flat ironing and followed up with WDT. I had hardly any breakage, and my hair is so soft! I will be buying it forever!!!

Charz Well, it sure is Purty My Dear!

Thanks for the review on the DRC-28. I've been wanting that stuff 4 eva'.erplexed Maybe I'll put it in my BF Budget. Along with my BBD that I need to repurchase.

Che, let us know how your henna turns out. I am scared to do it because my ends are so light but if it doesn't color your hair, I will know its probably ok for me to do it.

 

[chebaby]

i will let yall know about the henna. i might start the process in about an hour. im still half sleep lol.

if natural companies start out pricing themselves i will mix my own shea butter and oil mixes, cleanse with back soap, and continue to use ayurveda, giovanni, and AO.

i read a few more threads on it last night and most say if you mix and use right away no color is released. they say it takes at least 2 hours for the color to release which is why they let it sit for a few hours, apply to hair and keep it on for 4 hours or more. im going to use right away and only leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour.

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies

Charz your hair is beautiful, you make me want to straighten so bad.

Its cold here yall, there was frost on the windows this morning. I had to turn on the oven to knock the chill off the house, lmao. The heating bills are supposed to be high again this year. They ain't getting my money yet.

 

[mkd]

Charz, your color is very pretty. How often are you getting it colored?

 

[Ltown]

Good Morning ladies!
Charz love your hair and color! Fab are you up in my head, I agree with you heck I have a couple of books, been to making cosmetic website too and it's easy.

I know I'll be saving a lot of money on shipping charges. A lot of commerical products like the one T name are changing their ingredients to more natural to make us happy. I went into bss(pj can't help it) and Vitale had product with almost all cermadies oil only for $3.99 (mo body) that along is going to save me money to buy clothes!

I did use up shescentit marshmallow creme(didn't like it). I've tried alot of creme hv,av, darcy's, qhem and finally figured it out I don't like them and probably need to look at hair milks/lotion a little more.

I did henna before and my hair turn red, which I like except for the gray like Vonnie said.

I'm do ayurveda wash, dc under steamer with Jasmine av-silk today.

 

[Charz]

Ltown La Colocha Thank you!

mkd I have not colored it since June 4th. I kinda wanna only color it 2-3 times a year.

 

[chebaby]

whats your henna formulation Ltown? what do you mix it with and did you let it sit before use?

 

[Shay72]

It's trying to act like fall here. I will continue to cowash daily like I did last fall/winter. No ill effects.

My supervisor is a yt curly girl and she does wash n gos year round. Her hair grows so fast too. She got it cut to chin length a few months back and it is already shoulder length again. It will be MBL again before she knows it. She never combs her hair. She only uses her fingers. Her hair is beautiful. She loves my hair and is intrigued with how tightly coiled it is. She says she is looking forward to seeing it get longer. My male coworker is fascinated with my hair and seems proud of me. If someone is seeing my hair for the first time since the big chop he will announce to them that I have gone natural and all I do is wash and go . My other coworker tells people that I only use natural products on my hair. I have trained them all very well. I've been meaning to share that for awhile but I kept forgetting.

 

[chebaby]

shay, i think its so cute how people pick up on this whole hair thing and become so interested in it.
and you are right, it is getting cold. i just noticed thats why i keep waking up early, because im freezing lol.

 

[La Colocha]

I am going to moisturize my hair today with some knot today and sweet almond oil. Also going to put some tea tree and grapeseed pomade on my scalp. Keeping the itchies at bay so far. I think my hair goal is mbl, i have a long torso so that would be enough for me, waist would just seem like too much.

 

[Shay72]

I've stretched doing my hair over two days (read as fell asleep with dc in her hair) and my headache is gone .

 

[chebaby]

i dont know what i want to twist with today. i originally plnned on using oyin shine and define but i decided not to. now im think either curls milk shake or shea moisture curl milk. or maybe afroveda whipped gelly and cocolatte. but i will be so embarrassed if the cocolatte spoils in my hair and i walk around smelling of egg lol.

 

[chebaby]

ok my ahir is washed with carols daughter, slathered in evoo and wrapped on a towel to dry. when my hair is 80% dry i will put my hair in big braids using more evoo and then get to applying the henna gloss.

Ladies i have a dilemma this is ot and not about hair, i need some advice. I have a girlfriend who is holding a pt job for me. I was supposed to start when dd started school but then i was promised ot by some managers at my job. At my job i would be making more money, but i don't know if i should wait for them or take the pt job. My girlfriend says she will hold it as long as i need but with the holidays coming up, someone else could be working that job. And then i don't want to turn down the job and end up not getting ot at work. My goal is to have a side hustle and one of these choices would be it, ive tried to apply for work at home jobs but its not happening. I don't know what i should do.

Couldn't you take her position and then wait-n-see what they do at your Real Gig? That OT may or may not happen.

Who knows, you may take the PT job and really enjoy it. You should accept (since you are looking at a 2nd job anyway....start making some $) and then wait to see what & how much your folx are talking.

That may or may not happen right???

Remember last year, when they sent folx home cause they didn't have enough work to keep them busy?

You coulda' had a coupla' little checks from that little PT job by now waiting on them

 

[chebaby]

i agree with T, take the part time job. it will probably be a break from the same old thing working with the same old people. and the ot at real job might not make good on promise.

 

[La Colocha]

Thanks ladies your right, yeah t i remember, thank you i didn't even think of that. I will go talk to her tomorrow and if they do offer ot at work i will take that too. I just didn't want to start the job and have to quit soon but i plan on doing it as long as i can. And with my daughter in school all day, after i get some sleep i am just sitting here with nothing to do when i could be making money.

 

[La Colocha]

Anybody doing anything today or all yall being lazy like me.

Yeah, Che also made a really good point. It will be a 'break' from doing the same ol' thang, w/the same ol' people.

Look at how many checks you could have possibly made while waiting around for them to make a decision.

I think you should do it for a while and see how you like it. Even if it's just until the Holidays or shortly after.

You could have all yo' little BF $ in a couple PT Checks & some extra cash for the Holidays.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I Loaded up an Afroveda, Curlmart & MHC Cart for BF. Of course I'm not getting all that mess,erplexed but I still loaded them up.

With those ridiculous Price Hikes I am almost 'doubtful' if the discounts will be any good. I think Curlmart may throw us a Bone.

I will look at some other stuff too. I already put stuff in a Marie Dean Cart.

So.....I'm not doing much. Half watching TV. Should pull out the Snuggie, it's chilly in here, but too soon to turn up the Heat.

I ran out of Tea Bags (the kind I want). I wouldn't mind having a cup........

I also wrote out my Regi for next Wash Day. Brownie518 gave me a good 1 week Post Regimen.

I hear you, but the money will strictly be for savings, not to spend. Also i didn't know if i told you guys or not but i have been entered in a drawing at work for a $500 visa card. Pray for me i will know if i won by the 5th.

 

[La Colocha]

T the carts hold the items that long? I didn't know that. I can get started on mine also.

We need to get Brother Franklin in Here to Do a Praise Report Dance-Off

That's My BOOOYYY!

 

[Ltown]

whats your henna formulation Ltown? what do you mix it with and did you let it sit before use?

Che, I mix with conditioner and avc I let it sit for 24hrs. It's been almost a here since I done one. I stop because of my gray but will revisit it and just have two tone. I love red tone but the down site is I used bigen to cover the gray and it's monster to lighten. I hope those of you are younger don't get temple gray it SUCKS! My Mom is 68 y/o alway her hair refuse to be gray, so I can't gray before her

I think Curlmart does. I'm just playin' 'round.

I put some stuff in Komaza too. Somebody said she did 25% last year.

I found some ol' Nasty Tea. Got my Snuggie On. Gone drink me a cup anyway. I will pick up some tea & stuff tomorrow.erplexed

It's too cold to go out today

I don't know why your Henna/Indigo didn't last long on your temples?erplexed

I don't have grey temples, mine is kinda throughout the top (at least last time I saw it ).

Your portions had to be off somehow, because that Indigo should have covered it Bigen Black if the ratio Henna to Indigo was on point.

When are you going to try it again? You need less Henna & more Indigo (and doing it in a 2 step process for Black/Dk. Brown Hair).

 

[La Colocha]

Well its good to know the totals even without the discount. I will know how much to put aside. I wonder if the hairveda sale will be better or worse on black friday.
