hello ladies!! I miss you all :)
I have been lurking from time to time..just got busy with classes. I am doing well...
trying to be strong not to get anything from black friday but it is really HARD!! My wishlist gets longer every day from qhemet (and god knows I am allergic to citrus oils), oyin, christine gant, darcys, kbb, etc..etc..:computer:
I have been using up lots of products. It is really nice that every week, I am throwing away empty containers. I also gave away a few products.
I also started doing again oil rinsing. Why did I ever stop???
I also love love love my hair lately. As always I am still obsessed with locs..think of starting another set but I also love my loose hair and biiiig hair

aaw..thank you so much :kiss:
I also need to add funds to my makeup show special savings account.
@Charz ; are you going this year? I can't wait to meet up again and this time I am hoping to go a day early just so I can hang out with @optimusprime @Day36 and I forgot her screenname:blush: she's so sweet...
I felt bad that last time, I barely ate then had to rush back..
by the way I loove your interview with curlypop!! She's soo sweet <3 Both of you were so laid-back and I felt like I was also in the room chit chatting with you..
@IDareT'sHair: oil rinsing...well I used to do it a lot 3 years ago. I spent hours reading threads and there are different techniques:bookworm:
I wash my hair with a poo bar, usually from chagrin valley, then apply generous amounts of oil..usually one that i am trying to use up. Right now it is Carol's daughter khoret amen oil. Most of her hair products don't work for me..but this oil smells sooooooo good! (I should have taken advantage of sephora FF sale and buy a bunch of them..but I didn't get anything and now I am regretting it :ohwell:)

then rinse it and use my trader joe's nourish spa conditioner to remove the excess oil
From what I read, others just add oil, finger comb then rinse it out and co-wash

the benefits:
- buh bye tangles and knots
-bye crunchy dry hair
and you use up all those oils

I think i will do it once a week....
phew...what a long answer to a simple question :lachen:

another update on amakacreations: I don't use them anymore...there were serious issues with the constituency. Same thing with peaceloveandsunshine. I prefer the old school coconut confidence and sunshine. I still have 1 jar of each that I am using up and after that, no more peaceloveandsunshine for me. I am sad because I really wanted to support her but too many changes in less than a year and the old formula worked best for me...especially the yellow shea butter she had. :nono:

There was a thread about her and her inconsistent products on NCC chebaby sent to me.:perplexed

People were complaining about the oils separating in the jar(s) and some people said their products were full of powder(s) that did not dissolve or weren't properly mixed. People had long wait times, no response(s) from her etc....same things I said.....:rolleyes:
 
Okay...

redecouvert convinced me to start Oil Rinsing.:grin: I also have some oil(s) I'd like to use up.

Does anyone else want to join me in a "Use Up the Oil(s)?" We can either : (a) Oil Rinse, (b) Do HOTS OR (c) Start putting Oil in your DC'ers -- like Brownie518 BrownBetty Ltown and I were discussing in a couple of previous posts to use up some of our Oils.

I don't have as many I as use to...:look: but I do have a few.:look:

I found a 1/2 bottle of CD Lisa's Hair Exlir I would like to get rid of :sad:and that Kukui Nut and I have WhGO and the one by Mozeke to start with.

Your hair looks gorgeous and I understand your hesitance to loc, how many times have you attempted locs?
 
@IDareT'sHair: mainly Anita Grant and myashas oils. I love myashas products despite the slow shipping (1 month to 1 month and a half)

@rosalindb:how are you? Hope you're doing well <3
I love locs! I think they are so beautiful, the transformation process is simply a miracle (even though many see it as an ugly phase) which is why I did freeform locs...I twisted them (on the big side) and I wasn't interested in twisting the new growth. I loved having the two textures: fro and locs
I tried 3 times.. The first time was in 08 and lasted 10 days. then winter 09, I managed to hold on for 3 months and this summer...just a month.
To be honest all the first attempts, I thought I was ready but I wasn't emotionally to stand up for my choices to my parents and close friends. Hello my name is Amina and I am a people pleaser.
the set I did this summer was really no expectations..so one day I woke up and took down everything. 2 weeks later, I did my second big chop..LOL

this picture was right after 4 weeks of locking

Whenever I look at it, I smile....I miss them...
i just need to makeup my mind...one day..maybe for my big 30 this summer:rolleyes:

redecouvert: I'm doing okay, hope all is well with you. That is a gorgeous pic. When you are ready to loc, it will happen and no one else's opinion will matter, it will just be right for you

I have just started oil rinsing with hemp seed oil, so far I like it

La Colocha

Do you have any oils you are trying to use up?
Click to expand...

I have a big bottle of shea oil that i use sometimes, i also use it with my moisturizer for my face, and i have some jojoba oil, castor oil and qhem's oil. I use my castor oil the most so i don't have a problem with that one. I tried to do a hot with the shea oil and it was too much for my hair, and the jojoba is a little waxy for that also.
 
IDareT'sHair

The Okra wasn't too much of a Reconstructor for my colored hair. It was too light. And the Avocado Condish was more of a rinse, or cowash conditioner, and I don't cowash. Also it's cheaper to get the HV moist 24/7 for detangling. Plus the smell gets annoying after a while.

Anyone want my Shescentit Amazon Pomade? For me it's the worse thing ever. I will have a review up by next week.

Thank You for your Honest Review.:yep: I appreciate it.

Ltown didn't care for the Okra Reconstructor either:ohwell:

I am thinking about making HV Conditioners & Oyin my Main Co-Washers.

T i can def. do the use up oil challenge. i have a bunch of oils and i think winter is the time to use them. since i dont use them to seal anymore oil rinsing would be great.

im sitting here with henna in my hair. i had it in since 1pm and will rinse at 6pm. i used the rest of my nupur 9 herbs but it wasnt enough so i added one spoon of hibiscus and some nupur regular which doesnt have as much herbs as the 9 herbs in it.
 
So far for me none of the natural product wow me to repurchase, there is some many of the everyday in store now making natural products without paraban i can save $$. HV has yet to wow me so I won't purchase anymore. T, I use oils for sealing so it will be a long time before I use them up. Now the wgo do you wash afterwards, I can't imagine it rinsing well?
 
red, tha is a beautiful pic you have up. i wa interested in myashas at one pointbut cant get with 1 month waiting times.

ans im still waiting on my safi curl clouds. havent heard anything since i ordered a week ago. i know i ordered 10oz but damn.

I was sorta thinking the same thing. Imma be really 'careful' in 2011 what I purchase/repurchase.

I really need to access & re-access what is really working for me. I think alot of you have already done that and have made the 'transition'. La Colocha Charz Shay72 rosalindb (and a few others have been really good at this)

I need to get on board with this thinking going into the new year. I think my phase of "Handmades" will be heavily curtailed. I will use up what I have and then possibly revisit the Salon Products I have.

btw: Used Up 1 MHC Burdock Root Hair Lotion (I am baggying with it now). Have another 1 as a back-up. Will switch over to HV Whipped Ends Hydration. I have about 5 of these.......:look:
 
oh i forgot to mention i went to whole foods yesterday and purchased beautiful curls curl activating gel. i already have the curl activating cream. im tellingyall these products have some weird textures lol. i also got a bottle of giovanni direct leave in which i will be using today under coconut confidence and pur whipped gelly to twist.

Great! We'll use up some Oils this Fall/Winter w/Oil Rinses & HOTS. How is your Henna looking? Are you still getting a Red? What is your Color? I know the more 'often' you use it, the deeper your color gets.........
 
The only natural products that i have to have that i order off line is knot today and the ghee. Im keeping my heavy cream for when my hair gives me the blues. Even though its cold, winter hasn't really taken effect yet. But everything else i can buy on the ground.
