@bolded: Girl, you playin' with fire bringing that up!! ............

I really should have called in to work tonight! I am in no mood to be here. I want to go home and do a scalp massage.

I still haven't turned my Heat on yet and it's as cold as a:flyingwit "you know what"

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Okay.... *cough cough*

Was it forward of me, to ask Qhem in her Thread:

1) does she anticipate a price increase in the forseeable future?
2) does she have any idea what her sale will look like on BF?

i aint too much interested in the last question but the first question had me
i think though if she does increase in price people will follow. she is more established than AV.

I don't think she should. erplexed

Can they show us Some Love????

 

[chebaby]

oh i agree $16 is already a tad bit high, i dont think she should raise her prices. but i bet if she decided to there wont be a thread like there was for AV.

I was just about to say, a lot of the vendors area already super high! I wonder how high people are willing to go.

 

[mkd]

I wonder if I can get 4th day hair tomorrow.

 

[chebaby]

mkd, im never willing to pay $20 for a moisturizer. i guess people who have picky hard to please hair have to get what works. but my hair isnt picky and since i know what ingredients my hair likes i can whip shea butter and oils if need be. i mean its getting crazy now, $16 for a moisturizer is steep but its practically the average on natural hand made products so you know before you buy. but $18 -$20+ is just re-damn-diculous fo real.

i will pay $20-$25 for a deep treatment though

 

[natura87]

I gotta stop with the puffs, since I have been working thats all I have worn and my head has been hurting where the elastic band has been at. I am going to have my cousin braid my hair this Friday so I can keep my hands out of it. Between now and then I will just wear wash and goes.

I need to find a place that sells Shea Butter for cheap on the ground, the last place I bought it from (somewhere in the hood) disappeared and the place downtown wants 12 bucks for 8 ounces (compared to $10 for 16 ounces). My SB/CO mix works really well from the fall to early spring.

Che, we are here. I am not paying $20 for a leave in/moisturizer unless its like 16 oz.

 

[chebaby]

yep, i agree
and qhemet heavy cream in those big jars lasts forever so the price is right on that. but nothing more.
and you rarely see 16oz leave in. i wonder why?

The bolded is why I don't mind paying Qhem's price on the Heavy Cream. Even the Detangling Ghee lasts forever for me. For that reason, it's worth it.

#1 - I'm sure she does anticipate one. Let's just hope its not Afroveda style!!!

#2 - She probably does know. I bet its the same as last year. What was it last year, anyway?

 

[natura87]

Seriously...it has to be a big size for me to splurge.

 

[mkd]

Brownie, I think Qhemet's BF sale was 20% off but I could be wrong.

Qhemet's stuff does last forever. She and KBB have hit my max for a leave in/moisturizer I think.

ITA. Shoot I probably won't need to buy any Qhemet at least until next spring or summer. Seriously you buy two full sized containers from her and it's like almost being set for life .

#2 - She probably does know. I bet its the same as last year. What was it last year, anyway?

20% off

 

[Brownie518]

Thats why I only get 1 of each. They last way too long for me to need backups. 20% isn't bad.

ETA: I just checked and I ordered my Ghee and Heavy Cream in May. The Ghee looks like its barely been touched. The Heavy Cream I believe has over 1/3 left. That will last me until the end of the year, at least.

 

[natura87]

I am definitely getting some Qhemets..I havent had any since early 09 and my hair loves it. I havent tried the QB ghee yet...along with the other newer stuff.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Hey Ladies!!

Late night at work. I got off like 1.5hr after my normal time answering the phone and helping out. I hate talking to people on the phone. I get got every time with crazy questions and people wanting free advice. I was ready to strangle those folks tonight.

Well its rainy here which isn't great on straightened hair. I wore my hair wrapped to work and then ended up wearing a headband and a bun. My coworkers have never seen me with my "hair down" as they called it and thought it looked very cute. My hair remained straight because we keep it like a freezer in my office so it never got humid. I still need to find a place to cut it for me.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

My mom gave me a BRBC last summer that I just finished in July. I didn't start using it until the spring and it was like 1/2-1/3 full but since she had it for a while and then I had it for a while I started using it. Since buying the next BRBC in July I've only used it like twice since I started working on my cream moisturizers that I'd had longer.

I've never really been into Qhemet so I'll pass for BF. My one BRBC will last until next summer.

 

[chebaby]

i wont get anything from qhemet either.

actually i might not get anything for BF because anita grant is pricey even with a sale so i might pass on her too.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I spoke to my friend and found out what she wanted from Mozeke. I would be a $15 discount for her order and the one thing I want. So I think Mozeke and SSI, Komaza, Darcy's will be my BF shopping places (sale prices permitting). And I'm not getting too much.

I rearranged my stash this weekend and my stash is pretty complete. I have enough protein DCs/add ins, leave ins, moisture DC, and sealers both oils and butters. My moisturizers are pretty complete since I have the BRBC I forgot about and a 2 others.

Just talking about it has me itching to twist up.

That's it Right there mk! You just summed up the whole thing.

How HIGH are WE WILLING To GO?

We the one holdin' all the cards (Literally & the Cash)

Hey ladies

I received my HV order today and I will be trying them out on Friday when I do my hair.
Last night I found a half jar of QB gel and a bottle of mandarin magic and decided to mix them and it turned out great . I twisted my daughter's hair with it and she loved it . Her hair has so much movement and shine and it didn't dry crunchy; I can't wait to see the twist out results.

 

[faithVA]

I am ready to join this challenge. I still haven't figured out my staples but I also realized very quickly I don't like having shelves of stuff. I do love browsing the aisles though.

So I want to clear out as much as possible by December so I can try some new things. This week I have given away, thrown away and mixed as much as possible to get some order. And I will heavy handily use up products that I don't plan on repurchasing.

I am excited to start cleaning off some shelves.
