^^ I wish I could find JBCO locally! I've looked all over in my area.

I was supposed to wash my hair Saturday night and didn't. Again. I realized I've been washing once a week for the past few weeks. Sometimes I just can't be bothered. And my hair seems to be doing okay so its all good.

How long was the forum down today???
 
Good Morning, this shutting down the forum in between some good conversation getting on my nerve. Heck I went over to BHM and lurk!
My staples so far is MnT, Giovanni, ayurveda, WDT. I do like CJ and Jasmine those will be special online buys.
 
im glad this site is back up so i can tell yall about the donna marie(thanx for reminding me mkd)
so i wanted to twist my hair with the super butter creme and the dream curling creme. so far i like the dream creme, but i dont know how i feel about the butter creme.
i kept looking in the butter creme jar trying to figure out what the heck those chunks were. they were see through chunks and they looked really tiny. so i thought if i tried to scoop it out it would dissipate in my hands. :nono: i went to pick one out and i pulled out a chunk the size of a 50 cent piece. it was gross and i have never seen anything like it. it looks like aloe vera gel but i have never seen aloe vera gel fuse together like that before.
i didnt use the butter creme.
 
oh and let me say that last night my hair was shiny and soft after i twisted with the dream creme and kbb milk. well right now my hair feels dry, it shrunk up way more than it did last time i twisted and its no longer shiny.
so im going to mist with water and spread on some kbb milk and pin these suckas up.
 
Finished Amala Cream Rinse this morning. I'm sure I have at least 2 back ups. Using a light protein at least 1x/wkly and may throw a reconstructor in there too. I'm starting to notice a little breakage. I need to nip that in the bud. I've noticed shedding too but I'm not worried about that. Will do a protein treatment this weekend. I think I'm over moisturized so I gotta get my balance back.
 
i emailed jasmine's last night and had a reply this morning. she said there were no issues with my order and it shipped out the 22nd (still a long time to wait with no notice, since i ordered on the 13th). i should be receiving it soon.
 
Hey Ladies.

I was out all day yesterday. I went and did the Breast Cancer walk in my area. It was really nice. We walked in memory of one soror and then for our one survivor soror.

I thought I was going to henna again this week until I thought about how I really wanna twist up and put my hair away. I just henna'd last Thursday and if I did it again it would have to be tomorrow. I don't know if that is too soon. What do you Ladies think?

My WnG has really been holding up with light refreshing (spritz and KBB, seal with oil). Usually the curls flatten out and I have to wet it for real to get it looking cute.
 
I saw all the FUBU lines at my other Target Saturday guess they decided to branch out. The KCKT was $12, I think all KC was $12 except the KCCC.

Charz I use the Jasmines Souffle in the fall/winter and it works great, very thick butter. My legs still feel good and usually my scrubs dry & the dry heat dry my skin out bad at work. I'm finishing my second jar from last Xmas sale. Will repurchase after I finish some other lotion I have.

chebaby, my buttercream has a few chunks. Not huge ones but a few so maybe that is normal.
 
if its normal mkd, i will use it. it looks like its so moisturizing i just know its going to be a hit.
this weekend coming up i will use curl junkie so the week after that i will use the donna marie.
 
i really want to try donna marie, but i hate that they don't have sample sizes. those full sizes are too big and too expensive for me to "try." i sent an email a few weeks ago and never got a reply. i think i'm going to pester them again right now.

eta: che, if your package slip came with an email address, would you mind posting it? i hate website comment boxes because i feel like they never go through. :ohwell:

Good day ladies, going to moisturize with dghee and softning serum. My hair is still really soft but we are having a wind advisory and its supposed to be really cold. These qhemet products may be keepers, going to use them for a bit longer before i deem them staples. Dd's hair likes the ghee too but i only need a tiny bit for her hair. If i was to order again on bf it would be another ghee and softning serum. The heavy cream i only need a bit because its just that thick. I only need 1 or 2 bottles more of knot today because that little bit that was almost gone is going no where, so i know it lasts forever..

If she makes items fresh to order, I do not think 7 working days is too bad but she should send notification when your order ships, I'm surprised that she does not do that as standard practise
 
i forgot to tell yall how the hibiscus powder worked last nigh when i mixed it with amla and kbb mask. maaaaaannnnnn that was the silkiest i have ever felt my hair. it rinsed clean and my hair just felt really silky and conditioned. to rinse it out i wanted to use the shea moisture conditioner but i didnt want my hair to get too soft so i used abba creme mask(i like this too, ive only used it twice).

i cant wait for this weekend(sunday) to do my hair. i have it all planed lol. i was shampoo with cream of nature and then do a paste of amla, brahmi, shikakai and hibiscus, water and sweet almond oil. leave on for 2 hours and then follow up with abba creme mask. then i will twist my hair for the week with kbb milk and hibiscus and banana honey butter leave in.

but on saturday if i go out i will take out these twists, shampoo with cream of nature and condition with abba creme mask and then wash and go using hibiscus and banana honey butter and curl queen gel.

i will be removing my twists and detangling with black earth the detangler.
so far i like this detangler however it is greasy(which doesnt matter because i use it on friday night and shampoo saturday morning and then again on sunday). i think her protective mist bodifyer is a better detangler and moisturizer but this one is good too. i dont think i will repurchase it though.
 
Evening Queens:wave:

Hope all is well. I am still having shedding.:sad: Hope it's not from my last failed relaxer attempt (but I am starting to get 'worried'):perplexed

Anyway, I just slathered on some My HoneyChild Burdock Root Hair Lotion and sealed with a little JBCO.

Next Wash day, I will pull out the Nexxus Emergencee and Nutrine Garlic to Co-Wash with (to see if that helps). I may use my AE Garlic to Steam with too.

Other than that, not much going on.:ohwell:
 
I had my coworker fix my denman brush for me :look:. You know open it up and pull out the extra bristles. I hope this works because I am so sick of finding little balls of shed hair at the end of my coils. I will try it on Friday.

On Friday we are having a Halloween dance for our program participants. I plan on going for the black power look. I have an afro t-shirt, wide bottom jeans, hoops, etc. I want to fro it out. I don't want to use heat and I'm a tightly coiled 4a. My coils look like pen springs. I'm thinking if I pick it while wet maybe it will dry as a fro as opposed to a curly fro? What do ya'll think?

Sounds like a Cute *Anti-Costume* I hope you have fun.

Sorry can't help w/the Hair.

i don't think it's a bad wait time at all, but i do wish i'd received a bit of notice, just to keep me/the consumer updated on the process. ITA with you. :yep:

Sorry shay, if you have colochas then they will be colochas, can't do nothing about it. They will coil back up.

Eta- It might work if you go product less, but if your hair is moisturized they will coil back up.

Charz - :yep: I was going to mention Jasmine's Shea Souffle, also. I use it in winter, also. Excellent, and the scents are delicious! :lick:
