I don't think I love the aveda defining whip on twist outs. My hair feels kind of dry.

That's interesting mk! So, which products are working the Best for Your Twist-Outs????

T, my hair does really well with HV whipped gelly. It feels dry with kinky curly curling custard too. I need to compare the ingredients with all of those and see what my hair isn't liking in the aveda and KC.

Yeah, you do need to do some research on that. At least you know the HV Gelly works great for you. I saw alot of people wanted to Order Huge Sizes of this during the HV Sale. *that wasn't one of the 'sale' items was it?*

Have you tried the AV Gelly? I hear that's good too.

And what about the Qhemet OHHB? Although, that's really not a "Gel" per se

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used Up:

1 Njoi Herbal Hairdressing -- should replace during the sale this weekend, but prolly won't.erplexed
1 Njoi Coconut Hair Butter (Deep Conditioner) *have back up*

HV didn't have the gelly on sale this time. Maybe during BF. I like the AV gelly ok, not as much as HV though. I still have about a fourth of a jar of that left.

Which qhemet product is that? I can get qhemet locally.

Olive Honey Hydrating Balm.

It has a Gel-Like Consistency, but it is "more" than a Gel. I love it and I love the way it smells.

It's a very lovely product indeed.

mk: I just went on Qhemet's Site, they also have a Honeybush Tea Gel? *just a coupla' ideas*

T, I may try the OHHB. It sounds lovely. Che and I had a conversation about the honeybush tea gel and she said it was kind of drying.

Wow that's crazy. I was just looking at the sale this morning debating. Guess they weren't ready for all the new customers after the Essence article.

My scalp is still holding up. I had the itchies today but it was mostly in areas that I wasn't spraying well enough and my scalp was drying out. Before work I made sure to get the spray onto the scalp more. I used some KBB milk for the twists they felt a lil dry. I have 1/2 a use left in that bottle. I'll cowash tomorrow before work since I'll be at the church BBQ and may get smokie hair. I'll have all the animals chasing after me if I go in smelling like a rack of ribs. I'll cowash with 24/7 and put something new into the rotation with it.

I order 2, 16oz Banana Burlee one in warm vanilla sugar and one in mango tango. I won't order any during BF.

 

[Minty]

went to the meetup yesterday and got rid of a big bag of stuff. I came away with 3 items.

Im glad your scalp is doing well, mine is too. Keeping my scalp clean and that peppermint oil is really making a difference. I use it 1x a day and it helps.

 

[La Colocha]

What are you ladies doing today? My hair doesn't need moisturized so im only going to spray it with my peppermint spritz. Im going to go through my cabinets and clean them out of stuff that i don't use. Hair and body stuff, i don't want it to get off the chain again, so at least 1x a month i will do an inventory and try to keep things in rotation.

Thing that will be used up in the next few weeks
shea oil- almost gone
moisture maniac- 1/2 a bottle left ( i need to find some liters soon)
africa's best herbal oil- 1/2 bottle left of this( will be using along with peppermint oil on the scalp 1x a week on wash day.
baking soda- 1/2 box

That is it for now, everything else is fairly full and will take some time to use up. The only thing that i have to order online is more kcnt, that is it.

WOW! I hope the Quality doesn't suffer.

I would truly be hurt if all this new found fame @bolded, caused the product to change, be watered down etc......

Hey La! I'm not going to do much today. I just put on some Komaza Scalp Conditioner. Dreading going back to work (but thankful to God I have a job). Still a little 'swollen.'

Oh Yeah, don't forget to give some "serious" thought to Tigi Oatmeal & Honey (if you see it while looking for Moisture Maniac).

I'm with Fab & all these Whirlwind SALES.....I got all caught up too.

Will pass on SSI. I like CJ Banana Hibiscus better than SSI Banana Brulee, so.....that's fine.

And I'll be getting some Okra Reconstructor soon. (That was one thing I wanted, so I'm fine).

Well, I know I'm a few days early, but I'm already into Fall/Winter Regi Mode.

I've already made the mental switch.

Less Lotions, more Butters. I do have alot of things I used this summer that I still plan to incorporate into my early Fall Regi. *so i guess it hasn't changed that much, still keeping them ends moisturized and tucked away*

Don't think I'll start on HOTS though until December/January.erplexed Will just continue to keep my moisture levels up etc.....I hope to just keep growing right along.

btw: My friend that took me to my Dental Appt. asked me when was I going to find a Hairdresser!

 

[Shay72]

Found some more JBCO, damn erplexed

If you are on FB ya'll need to friend or like all the vendors you love bc you get info quicker.

Its getting very cold here low 50's, cloudy and raining, its supposed to be like this all week. I think that our summer is officially over. And as for your friend tell her to mind her buisness and don't worry about your hair. You know what your hair needs and don't need a hairdresser to mess it up.(no offense to anyone who goes to one) but we know what damage that they can do to our hair. I still want to go back and slap that heaux who put a relaxer over my wave nouveau, b1sh

 

[mkd]

I hope HV's quality doesn't suffer either T. I went back to the site last night to see if I needed anything else and I was suprised to see they ended the sale early and closed the entire site. I really like the price of HV products and the quality.

I am about to head to church shortly and then maybe visit with my in laws for a bit.

When I took my phony-bun off and was putting on some moisturizer and scarf before crawling with excruitating pain into my bed, she said: You hair is beautiful.......now you need to find you a hairdresser.:Cow:

And she mentioned it again yesterday on the Phone.....

"Girl, you hair grew back beautiful. So....when you gon' find a Hairdresser????..you need to go to Shirley...."

I got an email from hv saying that there was still stuff left at a reduced price, went back and it was closed. I either got it yesterday morning or friday night.

 

[mkd]

It is still in the mid 90s here, I wish it would cool off, I am tired of being hot all the time.

I totally agree with La about your friend T. I don't really understand why she is all up in your head anyway. My sister questions why I don't wear my hair straight often but I tell her its just my preference like its hers not to wear her hair curly often.

Tell her you'll go if she pays for it, then use the money to buy more products. That is how you do that.

Girl....Yeah....She watches my head like a Hawk!

We've known each other (since Freshman year College) and she's been SL always......

Girl, You know I ain't thinkin' 'bout her.....

or Shirley!

OT: Umm... Okay..... So....I looked at that SSI Banana Brulee. $12.75 for 16 ounces ain't bad.erplexed

Some interesting 'scents' too. I had Appletini in a cart, but haven't clicked "Pay" yet.....

Hey ladies!

Just popping in to say, Mama T, I want some pitchas! Talmbout it grew back beautifully, we all want to see. LOL. But, seriously, tell her to mind her business, and you keep up the good work!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I found some "mold" or something in the bottom of the JBCO bottle I had.

I had transferred it to another bottle, that had some other type of Stanky Avyurdec oil in it and I washed out that bottle. Then I mixed the Lavendar w/the regular. (But I don't think that would have affected it).erplexed

I musta' transferred it into the new bottle without it being totally dry, because I saw something strange in the bottom of the bottle. (Like mold)

I have 1 4oz bottle of JBCO left. Questioning if I will replace it this winter or just use my Cocosta and Avosoya Oil(s) instead.

Girl, beautifully from Bald.erplexed Trust, it ain't nothin'.

For Real

I think she thought the Damage was so Severe, it may not come back. Period.

Remember.....I had Bald Spots & Patches all over my entire head

And at times, I had my doubts.
