Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

[IDareT'sHair]

If my HOT goes well tomorrow, I am down for a challenge.

I'll join that Challenge, too, T. For sure.

I'll join the challenge too. I've got Vatika Oil VF, EVCO and EVOO to use up.

Thanks Ladies.....

I've been doing some research.

You'll have to make up your own rules and just report how many and what you're using.....

I'll start it around the last few days of January to start Feb 1st.

@natura -- those are some great oils for penetrating the hair shaft.

 

[chebaby]

im going to try to oil my hair and scalp 2x a week. sometimes ill warm the oil but i know most times i wont. if its coconut oil i know sometimes ill sleep in it and co wash or shampoo the next day. but most times ill do it about 10 minutes to and hour before i shampoo or co wash.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I'm excited about this HOT Challenge. I definitely have a lot of oils to use.

I think I'll probably use the same recipe I posted the other day.

We will all have some healthy gorgeous summer hair!!

Hey MK & B!!!

 

[Pompous Blue]

I hate Mix Ups with USPS, Fed-Ex and 'Nem It is Aggravating.

I want that Red Pimento too.

I shoulda' been paying attention to ALL that Ayurnaturalbeauty talk ya'll was talkin'

I missed out!

Hey Ladies.

Pompous-I'm sorry about your package. That shipping was crazy fast tho. They will work it out.

Thanks Vonnie and T. I wanted that pkg like NOW!!! I've been out of the pimento oil for over 3 mos. now and had been waiting on her sale. Well, I know I will eventually get it.....but bummer, I wanted to start using it this month! I ordered 5 bottles. And T, I thought you were on that ayurnaturalbeauty.com sale!!! What were you thinking? LOL....

Can't wait to get my hair masks from KBB (got 8); won't need to order anymore this year. Haven't had this since last Summer.

I did a henna and Katam treatment tonight using lime juice, coconut milk, 50g henna, 50g Katam and a couple tbsps amla. I used up Hairveda’s pH 24/7 Balancing Rinse and Myhoneychild.com’s SO Deep Conditioner.

 

[Pompous Blue]

Oh, btw T, been thinking about the oil challenge as I do a HOT as a pre-poo or pre-treatment every time I wash or henna my hair. So, it'll be a natural for me.

I'll keep my eye out for the thread. I hope to get some oil-combinations or how-to methods from everyone!

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Sitting with MHC Molasses (used it up) had to add a lil WDT and PC to it to make it stretch tho.

I'm going to start using up my Mozeke products. I'm getting nervous about them sitting too long even in the fridge. Plus I know I'm not repurchasing so no need for them to just take up space.

I have:
Avocado Cleansing (8oz)-gets hair clean but not enough slip to detangle with
Babassu Twisting cream (8oz)-I like this
Sweet Almond Pudding (8oz)- Love the smell, good for layering
Kokum Leave in (8oz +4oz)-Smells delish, just really thick
Carrot Protein (8 or 16oz)- Love the effects

At least now you will have enough so that if you have to order it again you will have backups.

 

[Shay72]

Oh, my! USPS Track and Confirm has this status on their webpage for my Ayurnaturalbeauty.com order -



Now what are they talking about? How can it be returned w/o ever being delivered? I hate mix-ups....Will go to the P.O. to see what's up!!! I want my Strong Roots red pimento oil!!! Arrrggghhh!!

UPS didn't attempt to deliver my KBB today; they know we're on holiday, so they'll deliver it tomorrow.....

The frustration!

USPS has been acting a straight up fool with my stuff. I want to complain but then I'm scared I won't get my stuff. What a mess!

Girl all i saw was the low percentages, its a new year. They have to come with it, and i only got 1 pass too, shoot.

I thought we got 2 passes. I gotta go back and read.

I will be using up my Mozeke stuff too after hearing about that trifling mess. I do keep checking for her site just cuz I'm nosey and it's still not back.

 

[Shay72]

Oops just checked again and Mozeke is back.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Oops just checked again and Mozeke is back.

I didn't know it had left. I had everything I wanted so I didn't check the site. Just read about the drama

Good morning, snow day be safe everyone! Pom and Elle is the only ones walking around in shorts


T, you miss that ayunatural sales because you/I was taking/talking too much about that Komaza free shipping

Pom I ordered the Pimento oil too, how does it feel on the scalp? I've got my first order in 2 days, the other should be arriving today or Tuesday unless she ran out of that oil.

The mixologist in me brought some pimento to make some oil


T, I don't think I've seen a oil challenge so be ready for the crowd If you don't want to be bother with tracking imo I would just tell folks it just accountability challenge and post results. folks can share their recipes, ideas etc.

I remember being in castor oil challenge, and I was PM because I did not post update. The down side is I thought someone wanted to be my friend and it was just so they could pm me about posting

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Good Morning Ladies.

Heading out to work. It's ugly out there. Giving myself plenty of time.

It took forever to do the twists last night..I don't know why. I used the TT on each section and I definitely lost a lot less hair this week. I think adding back in my henna/cassia and doing the protein has curbed my shedding problems.

I was nervous that my hair was going to be stiff/hard from the protein in the Mozeke products but its nice and soft.

My hair between the ceramides, henna/cassia, and good DCs (protein & moisture) is at a new level of healthy.

 

[Shay72]

So after talking mess about folks calling in the day before or day after a holiday I'm sitting her feeling like boo boo. Started getting sick last night.

 

[Charz]

Can't wait to get my hair masks from KBB (got 8); won't need to order anymore this year. Haven't had this since last Summer.

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!

Ltown, I feel you on that weather. I did wear shorts yesterday and it's suppose to be in the mid-60s today....Yeehaw!!! LOL!!

And you know you just can't post you bought some pimentos to make some oil and not let me know the recipe! Give up the goods, girlie. Although I bought 5 bottles and they'll last me 'til my no-buy is up!

Ingredients: Jamaican Red Pimento Oil, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Wheat germ, Organic Coconut oil, Glycerine, Lavender and lemon oils.

The only thing I don't have is the Glycerine.

The oil is soothing to my scalp. I use it as a pre-poo and I credit it as one of the things that helped halt my Fall-time shedding. it does a goood job!!

I have maybe a 1/5th of a jar of Afroveda's cocolatte and had not used it since the weather got cold. Last night I twisted my hair with it along with Kissi-Seed Pro V as a leave-in and PUR whipped jelly. Although my hair is soft, it is not moisturized like I like it. Imma spritz it tonight with Komaza's Califia Moisturizing spray and seal with KBB hair butter. That'll bring the moisture level up. Can't wait to finish using up that cocolatte, though. It's good in the Summertime but not for me in the Winter.

 

[Pompous Blue]

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!

I'm mad I missed out on the 50% off Butter Love Jan 5th. What was I thinking? I would've bought 4 of those!

I'm like T....my mind must've been somewhere else!

Guess I was concentrating on the no-buy challenge that I was blinded and didn't notice the deal!

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies, i was going to do my hair today but i am too exhausted, will be doing it tomorrow instead. Im jelly too charz because now if you notice the flash sales are different now. You have to buy a certain amount to get the 50% off, i will never forgive myself for not getting more masks, lmao, but seriously that was the deal of the year.

 

[Priss Pot]

Hey ladies. After almost 3 years w/ my macbook, the battery finally died on me. So I wasn't able to use my computer over the weekend. I had to buy another battery. But then my magsafe adapter had a shortage in it, so I ordered another one online for cheaper. *sigh*. So much for saving money on a hair product no-buy! I just ended up having to spend that $$$ on something else, smh. I so regret not getting applecare, lol.

I'm still waiting on the charger to come in the mail, so right now I'm on campus in the computer lab . Lawd, I'm so ready to be up out of this city. I'm looking forward to graduation in May.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Everyone!

Had some running to do this a.m. Sitting under the dryer now with this heat activated reconstructor. Just a leave-in that they say works best with heat.

Imma try to do it every a.m. while putting my make-up on for work. We'll see how long that lasts.

About the Oil Challenge.....Ya'll know I Ain't Micro-managing no Thread!

So it will be up to the posters to post what they're using, frequency and what method(s).

I did do some research on it last night, and found some very interesting articles to post about the Benefits of HOTs so I'll post those too.

MK & Brownie: I mailed your Packages!

Dreading going back to work tomorrow, but thanking God I have a job.

 

[Charz]

I hate having wide feet, buying shoes is difficult!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm watching something on "BETTER" and they are talking about the Benefits of: Ceramides, Caffeine and Resveratrol for Skin/Hair.

I want that BFH Red Wine Shine rinse for the Reservatrol. I will pick that up this Spring/Summer or if someone Wins the Sweepstakes!

 

[BrownBetty]

I ordered the dew and bsp last night. I should get it by valentine's day, hopefully. I am ordering my lush products from the UK, I wonder which will get here first.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Lurking from my phone at work.

I just had a chance to check my hair out. I came to work with it in twists then took them out once I was in the building out the rain. Its a lil more frizzie than I would have liked. Its defined but the ends are frizzie & didn't separate well.

It feels nice and soft. It has some nice shine which is probably from the smoothing effect of the TT.

I think I'm going to put some curl formers in it thurs (if its not raining/snowing) then wear a bun for the weekend.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm here lurking from work.....I got both pkgs today -- KBB (8) hair masks and ayurnaturalbeauty.com's 5 strong roots red pimento oil. I'm at peace now!

No droppage or spillage in either box. Yeah!

Also, I ordered 10 lbs mowrah butter from brambleberry.com and they came in 2 - 5 lbs. plastic jars Friday. One of the jars' lid had cracked and broken off (unable to seal and close with it). So I emailed them Friday night asking for a replacement top; they emailed me yesterday to say they're shipping out another one this week.....Now that's customer service!

[Vonnieluvs08]

I'm going to go pick up my ayrunaturals & 3 out of 4 pairs of shoes after work tonight.

I'm going to need to sort my closet to fit all the henna. I'm going to henna next week just don't know which day yet.

I've noticed that the smaller companies have really been stepping up there CS and picking up extra business becuz of it
