i dont have too many moisturizers. and i need some. i have been using my coconut confidence on my skin so all i have to moisturize my hair is shea butter(which i have been using on my face), kbb cream, kbb butter, oyin pudding, qhemet heavy cream, baby butter creme, and afroveda cocolatte. that just does not sound like a lot.

Girl, don't forget about Ori....:rolleyes: & that *Beijaflores:rolleyes:. (which Fab had a problem with similar to mine that never did get 'rectified', so she placed them on her personal DO NOT BUY FROM list.) :look:

Imma start one too.:yep: If I would have 'known' that, re: beijaflores I wouldn't have purchased that stuff from them. I won't repurchase.:rolleyes:
 
Hey I can't sleep anymore, I had my root canal done yesterday it was fast and quick. I was so scared, HATE the dentist. So I crash early last night now I'm up. Hope hv come through for everyone soon it nothing worst then to know your money been spend but nothing in hand. What is the shelf life? The down side for me as PJ is I switch up so much my natural products would expire. This is why I had to cut back and stick to the basics buying/storing. I had so much forgot about stuff:lachen: beside need to save $$ dd school supplies are crazy I can't imagine having more than one. Mkd, JJ save up when your babies get older it will be more. dd 16 and the first week of school I spend $200 ( graphic calculator, pictures, test, supplies) crazy. See what happen when you don't sleep! rant early in the morning:lol:
 
Ltown, mine babies are still little. I know the older they get, the more expensive everything gets. I think about that often.
 
I wish I could be at home in the bed. The weather is cool and rainy. Perfect for sleeping.

It took me forever to complete my twists last night I started at 9pm and didn't finish until 230a. I started doing them small and just kept going even though now that they are dry they don't seem much smaller than my 3 hour twists.

I finished a sample of Sweet Almond Pudding. I have an 8oz I cracked open to finish my hair with. Mozeke is definitely on the BF list for me and some friends.

Still no word back from Ori. IDT you were right about this one. The thing that is killing me is I have no product and out the money (for now). I will send another email this evening after work. I bet they think the U1B1 has a conspiracy against them.
 
Vonnie, I agree Mozeke's products are great for twists she's on my BF list as well.
I'm sorry though that ori hasn't rectified your matter as yet. I can't understand why some people go into business if they don't have a clue about customer service.

Ltown I hope you feel better and was able to get some rest.

I had a follow-up today (sutures removed:sad:). I have to go back AGAIN November 1st.:sad: At least I have some time in-between.

In Hair News: I am trying to comb through my hair and keep SSK's at bay since I plan to Self-Relax this weekend. I got alot of SSK's, so I've been taking my time with those, rubbing them w/oil and tryna' work them out.:ohwell:

Not sure if I'll get any packages today. Maybe that little "stank" 2 ounces from O.O. I feel like throwing that in the Trash.:rolleyes:

Insult My Buying Power Will You?:rolleyes: Hmp. I don't think so.:rolleyes: btw: Fab never received a response from them.:lol: :look:

Anyway, still using Christine Gant's Herbal Rich Hair Butter. It feels really good & light too (like Mixed Greens). but different. That Chile sho' know what to do.:lick:

It feels really good. I'll keep using this to try to keep SSK's away.
 
vonnie did you pay with paypal? if you did you can get your money back but i think you have to wait 40 days or something like that.

last night i spritzed my hair with a little water and twisted in 14 twists using kbb hair cream. when i tell you my hair is so soft and shiny that is an understatement. man i hope the new hair cream can make my hair just as shiny. i can get softness but its hard to make my hair shine.
 
Ltown, it seems like i cant get to sleep anymore either. and when i do sleep its forever lol. one day last week i didnt wake up until 10 before i was to be at work.

im not surprised Fab didnt get a response. lol they probably think LHCF is out to get them lmao. you know when stuff like this happens they never seem to think they insulted the customer. heck, you should be happy with the 2oz olive branch she extended to you:nono::rolleyes:

I should go check to see if it's out there.:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:She prolly changed her mind, since we gave her the blues.....:lol:

Which she/they well deserved. Especially if Vonnie's situation doesn't get rectified. :look:

Good Point Che: I'd give them a few more days to address it and then I'd file a Dispute w/PayPal.:yep:

You can always use your Junk Oils in your Pre-Poo. You do pre-poos don't you? I stopped all that when I switched to Co-Washing.:rolleyes:

And you can always do a HOT.:yep:

I stopped buying so many oils because I know I'm not really going to use them.:rolleyes:

Although I did just buy some Cocosta & Avosoya from the HV Sale.:spinning:

I still have a 'few' oils, but not like I had.:ohwell:

I will always keep Argan Oil on Hand and that may be it. I have a big bottle of Wheat Germ Oil. After I use the WhGO, I may stick with just Hempseed for my Ceramides. But I won't have 50-11 Oils again.:nono: I don't need it.:nono:

Speaking of which....I may start putting a drop or 2 of the oils on my hair w/my DC'ers just to use them up.:rolleyes:

i pre poo. i used to mix them in pre poos and conditioners for co washing. i guess i have to go back to that. i forgot all about my sweet almond oil. i like it wayyyyy better than jojoba oil but im still not that into oils anymore. i rather seal with creams and butters than to seal with an oil.
 
Good day ladies, Im writing down my reggie for the week, going to be following it every week from now on. My products in rotation:

head and shoulders i still have a few itches but nothing unbearable, it takes a few washes to get under control.

burts bee's prepoo, i will use this on my length only and not near the scalp.
Shea oil
kimmay leave-in
moisture maniac
bioinfusion conditioning balm
mixed greens
qhems theraputic pomade
peppermint/ tea tree oil spritz

These are my winter products, the only thing that i will add in the summer is a moisture spritz. That is it keeping it pretty simple, the few odds and ends products that i have will be given to coworkers and dh is going the use the bsp for his hair. It has a sweet and kind of musky smell that can pass for a man's products. No matter how good other things sound im sticking to these and i will only purchase to reup when used up.
 
IDareT'sHair said:
Why did you give up BSP?
Click to expand...

I like it but its too heavy even when used in moderation, easy to build up on my scalp. When i get that under control i may use it sparingly, its a humectant anyway and probably won't do me any good in the winter. A little goes a long way so if i do want to use it i know it will be here.

Yay you did a inventory and open you eyes! Buy something for the house if your hands itdhing to spend, do you need new curtain, towels, etc, clothes? Since it getting cooler less sweating and this include hot flashes and workout sweating. So less washing, less use of products, more still in stash.

Thanks LT! Girl, I ain't buying nothing.:lol:

I said I 'feel' like it, but I won't.:nono: I don't need a thing. :ohwell:

I bought a few pairs of pants for work this week (or last week) from NY & Co. I'm good.

I just had a feelin'........but nothing overwhelming or overpowering. And besides, even though I don't 'fear' "Shelf-Life" I need to really concentrate on what I have here and getting it down. Imma stick to it. Only way I'll break it is, if Qhem has a Sale or somebody has a 25% off or something crazy.:lol:

*Good Lookin' Out*:kiss:
 
Is anyone looking at buying Afroveda's New Emu Oil Products? They are coming out October 1st.

I may get the Conditioner and possibly the Oil. (After I just told Che I ain't buying no more oils:lol:)

I won't get them until Black Friday.:yep:
 
Hey ladies. I feel like buying something too but I am not going to. I see KBB extended the buy2get1 sale until thursday. I want to buy some more but I will not. Che, you are making me want to try her hair cream though. I also want to try the Donna Marie dream curl cream. I like her butter cream a lot.

I am going to wash my hair tonight with the bee mine shampoo bar. And then twist with the donna marie butter cream and KBB milk.

what new products. i dont see anything on the website.
 
emu oil oil shampoo and conditioner. sounds good but im a sucker for leave ins and deep treatments and butters so she lost me on that one.
my kbb order still has not shipped. im a little salty about that because im used to her shipping next day.
and just so you know she has extended the buy 2 get one a few more days.
 
Hey ladies!!
Drive by post..

Some realizations I have come to. Bad customer service = Fab not ever buying from again...

We.. us in this thread.. spend a GRIP on hair products.. most of those from handmade vendors....

In return; we get half filled bottles, changed ingredients, smaller sizes, no responses to emails, slow shipping, high shipping..etc.. And a lot of these vendors are not even making their own STUFF! They are buying bases (pre-made stuff) adding a scent or two and selling it to us at crazy mark ups..Now I will never be the one whipping up my own conditioner I don't think.. but I am seriously looking at how the vendors treat me and the rest of the buying community.

It makes me boil when they think they can make a quick buck.. and keep it pushing.. and for that reason here is Fab's black list of vendors... vendors I'm just not purchasing from because it's not worth the headache.

KBB - has done all of the above
HV - after this last order.. that's a wrap...
Ori - I sent her an email about T's problem too and still no response.. just don't give a damn
Beija Flor - sent me a 1/2 bottle of creme brulee in Nov and still won't respond to emails about her promise to give me 50% off my next order... so no next order
Butter and bars - my first order and I had to ask for shipping.. and guess what she sent.. "just shipping info".. she didn't even ship it until yesterday when I emailed again..

Okay vent over.. but I am just sick of spending my $$ on people that don't no how to treat me. I mean I know my little $50 orders don't even cause a blip on the big picture.. but ay.. it starts with one!
 
Che, last time I ordered from KBB, my order showed processing on her site and it just showed up less than a week after I ordered. I dont think her site is accurate.

Fab, I wanted to try the Ori buttercream but won't be ordering from there at all so next...
