Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

I twisted my hair with Mozeke's Babassu Twisting Cream; I really like this cream. I think I like it better than afroVeda's Curl Define.

Sidenote: today was my first day back to Bally's in 9 months! I did the elliptical for 60 minutes. (I wonder if I can take Advil with Nyquil-my knees hurt and I have a cold)

I received my liter of Elucence in the mail today! I love that stuff!
 
Sitting here with my DC in. I decided to do a bit of mixing to use some things that are in the stash/fridge.

So I used WDT as a base then added some WGO, Rice bran oil, Coconut milk, MT, PC, SAA, Panthenol, and think that was it. I just put on my heat cap and plan on doing some reading.
 
i have been really enjoying bunning. I hope I don't cause more issues with my nape from wearing a bun.

If you remember to move your bun around and use parts in the front of your hair you shouldn't have a problem. Even try leaving some of the curlies out for a lil flair.
 
im not getting any more kbb. only time i will order from her is when she has 50% off the mask. thats the only thing i want. i already have a jar of butter love in peach passion:lick: but i use it more as a pomade.
 
Thank goodness the cutie juice is finally gone. I will not repurchase it.

I got the Natural Jenesis today. The packaging reminds me of when I first started ordering from Jasmine's. I wished she would have taped tops though. No issues but just to be safe. Also like Jasmine she included free gifts. She gave me a full size lip butter and a skin moisturizer. The scents seemed on point but after smelling 2 they all started merging together :spinning:. I will revisit smelling the scents. She included a handwritten note and a product guide. The dc will be a use up because it is way too liquidy for me :nono:. The coco meringue and shea sorbet reminds me of the light fluffy versions of sunshine.

Hey Mkd, if it's fragile try leaving hair out like Vonnie said and what I do sometimes is braid the back lightly pull it to join the top or flat twist it and or make two buns. You know how you get updo's and stylist will flat twist the nape area and place it in the bun. I think you know but if not I'll try to find pictures.
 
I'm done with new vendors and not just because of the No Buy. I have a good idea of who I like and what I like. I may add established vendors (like Oyin) but I don't see myself trying to much except for DCs.
 
I finished a bottle of VO5 poo and HE conditioner. My hair is in chunky twists. i might need to trim my ends, either that or baby them like there is no tomorrow.
 
Good Morning U1B1, it's official I'm up:lachen: can I not see another it's official thread please! Well off to work, got alot of homework and papers to write at work:lachen:

from my understanding you can do it two ways. you can put the oil on the stove and heat it up and then put the powders in a tea bag and steep it. then let it cool. or you can just put the powders in the oil and leave it for about a week making sure to stir it everyday. but then youd have to strain the oil.

You can strain the oil by using a plastic funnel with knee high or footie stretched over the opening to strain powders. You can also use coffee filters, lab filter paper or cheesecloth. I infuse oils in mason jars (Walmart) by putting a muslin bag in jar with powdered herbs, pouring oil to top. I also use dried herbs (hibiscus flowers) by filling jar with dried herbs, then pouring oil over herb. I put jars in large pots of water and heat below boiling for several hours. You can also use a crock pot, slow cooker, etc. or put a dutch oven or roasting pan in the stove. I let the oil sit for about 30 days after heating, then strain and use in oil rinses, mixes, skin care or to seal hair.

Awesome! Thank you!
 
Good morning ladies, going to baggy my ends with whipped cream today, nothing much else is up, still going hard on the no buy.
 
I also tried hv noinah butter and its creamy, thick and greasy.It reminds me of the consistancy whipped crisco. I would only use this straight out of the shower and not on dry skin. I like it but i prefer the buttercreams better.
 
Morning Ladies.

I put 11, 3-strand twist in last night using Aloeba as a L-I then Shea Moisture Smoothie to set them. A few are flatten out but I'll steam them in the shower in a bit. They are still a little damp anyway. I didn't use a thicker styler this time since my hair felt really soft after the L-I.

Have errands to run so I'll put on a hat so I don't look like Celie. Then I'm going to clean and do laundry..Yipee!
 
It's funny, I'm not heavy-handed with products like shampoo and conditioner, but I'm heavy-handed with butters and oils. I gotta try not to be cause I can get build-up fast.
 
So I picked up 4 packages at the office this morning. My steamer, Koils by Nature, Old Navy, and this one package I was like the wth is this????????????? First it looks like something may have spilled in the KNB box. I will check that out later. It looks dried now. Also I had to open that 4th box before coming into my office bc I couldn't remember. It turned out to be a headband and some bracelets I ordered bc I clicked on a link in one these freaking threads on this board :nono:.
 
My Nature's Blessings Came today. :grin:

Still Waiting on:
ButtersnBars
Jasmine
KBB
Bear Fruit Hair

That's it.

Rubbing on MHC Buttery Soy and M/N
 
T, next time i do twists it will be with the buttery soy because you make it sound so good.

i re did my twists last night but the twist out didnt look so good so i co washed with BFH mango macadamia mask and then used sunshine for moisture. then i smoothed my hair back with eco styler with my zing.
the bfh is good for detangling and moisture. same lotion texture as the rest though.
