I have no problem with rosemary but that pimento oil was a no go for me. I even tried diluting it with regular jbco and co and still couldn't do it. That's some serious stuff.

You know I had to think about it after yesterday why my head was so tender, I just completely forgot about the pimento oil because I used it Sun and you use it so fast and wash it out. But Curly hit it on the nail:yep:

IMO it the pimento and the lemon oil. I can use rosemary, peppermint but pimento :nono: .

Che, thanks!

Like T, said trail and error:grin: I don't need to try it again:nono: off to sell that.
 
im afraid to put much of anything on my scalp. if my hair breaks off, fine, i cant fix that. but if it starts falling from the scalp:nono:
so i stay away from putting anything on my scalp. i know most things arent that bad but i have bad luck and just wont take the chance lmao.
 
At the Sixers game

My Curlformer set came out nice. I gotta take some pics before it poofs up from the snow

Its got a nice soft hold. Definitely will be able to wrap this Sunday night
 
oh how could i forget.
last night after i shampooed my hair i used kckt as a leave in(theres a tiny bit still in the bottom of the bottle). i let my hair dry to about 90% and then used a new product to twist. mhc type two hair cream. now this is not a cream. the texture is more of a gelly. i do not like this product lol. first of all i only added a tiny bit to each section yet there was a slight film to it. weird. my hair felt soft but that could have been from the kckt because after twisting it felt like i have put nothing on my hair.
i liken this to putting water on my hair, thats what it felt like.
this morning when i took the twists out they felt a bit dry. but they were smashed all up so i have to co wash anyway. but i probably wont use this product again let alone repurchase.

i may purchase the mhc olive you deep conditioner tomorrow though because it brought my hair back im telling ya. giving kbb mask a run for her money.
 
Dcing right now, when i was using my tt i thought about yall posts, i will keep using it and be a test rat. I take my time with it and it detangles better than any thing i have used before. I will just keep an eye on my hair.

I am washing tonight too. I think I am DC with SSI okra and then i will be rollersetting. I will refresh with my carusos tomorrow.

I bet your hair will come out so smooth! That Okra seems to really smooth my hair out!! :yep:

IDareT'sHair said:
mk: That's interesting that you use Okra for Deep Conditioning. I thought it was a "Reconstructor" hmm?

I need to read the various uses for it. So you 'prefer' it as a DC?

Does anyone else use it to DC? (Shay, Brownie?)
Click to expand...

T, I leave the Okra in for 10-30 minutes, usually. And I always follow proteins or reconstructors with moisture. Although, I probably don't need to with the Okra. You really need to try it! It's :lick:!!
 
IDareT'sHair said:
Hey Girl! I was just getting ready to shoot you an e-mail, so I'm glad you're on.

Yeah, this month is winding down. Still hoping not to go overboard in February. Maybe the Sales won't be that great....:lol:

Anyway, Brownie keeps telling me to make a list and I haven't because I really don't need anything. But some conditioning caps and stuff like that.:sad:
Click to expand...

That's good, then. There's your list. Conditioning caps! :yep:

I'll do that!:yep: I have a bottle that Ltown sent me that's like 99.9% full and a unopened 16 ounce.

Okay Yeah RIGHT!!!!!:lol: :lol:
 
Good Morning ladies!

My scalp is feeling better! Pimento is peppers, NEVER, EVER want that kind of stimulation again. What ironic is that it didn't burn while on my scalp so the after effect terrible:nono:

Glad your scalp is feeling better. I was tempted to pick up the Pimento oil when I restocked on JBCO last week but decided to be good and pick it up next time around.

I'm glad I did not get it now as I was planning to use it as a scalp oil :nono:. I see other members are using it to pre-poo so they just leave it on for a short period of time, I'll probably give it a miss then.
 
Mornin ladies !!!

gonna spend the morning doing my hair.
I MAY try my flat iron out for the first time depending on how I feel.


first Im gonna do a bentonite clay treatment, then HOT with sunflower and avocado oil then DC with one of my BFH not sure yet.

after that I'll decide if I'll try to rollerset (HA) then try out my flatiron. hmmmmm I'll probably have to buy some smaller sized rollers ... ahh we'll see.
 
I still have half a liter of Jessicurl Too Shea to use up *sigh*. Maybe I should have signed up for 3 legs of the No Buy.


I have:
AO HSR (half a bottle left)
AO GPB (which is *almost* gone)
Jessicurl (half a liter left)
SSI Banana Brulee (nearly a full jar left)
SSI Soft Honey Rinse (unused)
Moist 24/7 (nearly a full bottle left)
2 TJ Nourish Spa Conditioners (This is a staple, so I'm not in a rush to use these up since I will always keep this conditioner around anyway)
Nature's Gate Jojoba Revitalizing (been trying to use it up in my henna batches)

All of this (with the exception of the TJ and Nature's Gate) is not gonna get finished in 6 months :nono:

ETA: I dunno, most of it may be done, but certainly not all. I can't wait to use up that HV Moist 24/7 for a co-wash or something during the summer, cause I didn't really care for it that much at all.

Rosa, I definately don't want to discourage you or anyone from using it. It maybe different as most products are, if anyone looking to sample this I can send you some. If not I'm off to sell it. Someone suggest to use on ends, but I'm not touching it.
 
I know when you have alot of 'stuff' it seems like you'll never get through them all EVER. :sad:

When you list all the things you have/need to use up, it seems overwhelming.:sad:

All you can do is keep using them.

Believe it or not, they eventually get used up. It takes alot of dilligence to get through it.:yep:

Oh, good morning Ladies.:grin: Just rubbed on some Claudie Ends and Sealed with Avsoya Oil.

I sold some products to my WL/HL customer (which was a nice surprise) so I need to take them to the P.O. She even kicked in some extra $ (so I'm sending her extra products:lol:)

So, she got rid of most of my Liters. (I won't be buying those again) I like to skip around too much to buy/use/invest in Liters.
 
Good morning ladies, nothing going on with me today. Listening to dave ramsey lmao ( i can hear fab now). Its going to be a lazy day, not feeling too well.
 
Morning Ladies.

Hope u feel better La.

I'm going to be in the house most of the day cleaning and cooking.

I haven't looked at what my hair looks like from tying it up last night. If the curls are still intact I'll just rub some EVCO lightly over it and separate the curls a lil. If the curls look bad then I'll do a silk wrap tonight.
 
Hope you feel better LC.

I love KCKT but I don't feel like it's concentrated enough. Does anyone feel the same way?
 
Oh and I was thinking. Qhem said that you could use the AOHC as a DC. Since it's so concentrated and thick due to water not being the first couple of ingredients, I would think that it would last pretty long. And 8 ounces for 16.50 ain't bad.

Hmmmm

I thought it was a nice product but definitely not moisturizing enough for my thick hair. Its okay enough for summer and out styles during that time as well. Fall/winter it was a no go for me.

I love kckt, what are you looking for it to be thicker? You have alot of hair and it's thick too. Do you use alot?

The shipping is what kills me and there isnt a brick and mortar vendor that sells it anywhere near me. I would have to either make a day trip down to NYC or up to Toronto, and heck I'm not even sure if someone in Toronto would carry it. I am just going to use up what I've got in my stash now and then reward myself at the end of the year with a BF purchase. By that time the majority of my stuff should be gone.
 
I have

50 ounces of Jessicurl WDT
21 ounces of KBB hair mask
40 ounces of AOHSR

so 111 ounces of DC. I use about 4 ounces a week, so this should last me 28 weeks.
