Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

So I decided to do something with my hair. I opened a new bottle of poo (Giovanni Wheat Protein something or other ) and it left my hair as dry as a bale of hay. Luckily I brought a brand spankin new bottle of VO5 Moisture Milks conditioner, becuase I used 75%+ of that sucker trying to bring my hair back to life.I didnt even touch the Burts Bees conditioner that I brought with me. I just shampooed and conditioned my hair, spritzed a bit of TW PMB and rubbed some Proclaim Argan Oil (Sally's) on my hair. I am beyond tired, detangling was a beast and now I dont even want to do anything.

I might do some sort of braids tonight.
 
well once again im sitting here with a hard hat on. i have a head ache and im irritated. i cannot wait to get home.
and i was gonna try to make this braid out last but nope, i need to wash or at least co wash this hair. so tomorrow i will co wash with AO GPB and use komaza shea as a leave in.
 
Just finished my hair, it was a good wash day.

Che is there anywhere else you can sit? I can't believe they would let you sit there in a construction zone, that is crazy.

Hey, ladies!! Thank you all so much for your kinds thoughts!!! :yep: I came from the hospital and took a quick nap. Now I'm wide awake and SO is laid out. My father should be home sometime this weekend, the doctor said. :grin:

T, I did my hair last night. I just put some BFH Espresso Cream on and I'm about to seal it up with some Emu and Jojoba oil and wrap it up for the night. My hair came out so shiny this wash. I wonder if the ceramide oils are doing it. I was looking at some pics in the Ceramide challenge thread and some have some nice shine!

Ya'll know you can just get the bases for the Babassu and Avocado & Silk, right...:look:

@1st bolded: That's Great News Ms. B!:huggle:

@2nd bolded: Sounds Wonderful. I like that Espresso Cream. And Yes, Ceramides gives that Bling Big Time! Shine Like None Other.:grin:

@3rd bolded: Girl, you know I ain't makin' up nothing.:rolleyes:
 
I love the ceremide oils and don't see myself using anything else to seal with now. I wish i would have found them years ago, but trial and error.

I realized she won't have many hair products left after discontinuing the A&S and the Babassu. She already D/C the facial products. Guess she will be mostly bath products.

I'm sure her bath & body products are her bread & butter. I'm only using two hair products--Shea Butter Rinse & Babassu. Her bath & body products are the ish and the scents are :lick:. When she has a site sale I will be stocking up on her body washes, foaming cream scrubs, and exfoliating gel.

Brownie--It is so good to hear that you father is doing better.
 
Re: Jasmine, I like the Avacado & Silk, the Babbasu Xtreme and the Reconstructor/Rebuilder.:grin:

I have 2 of the Spritzs, (can't think of the names -2 different ones), but haven't tried either yet.:ohwell:

The bases are just the unscented version of her conditioner...no mixing required. :yep:

My father is in there acting up, too. He's feeling so much better and now he's anxious to come home. When we left he was like "What time ya'll coming to pick me up tomorrow?" LOL he swears he'll be home in the morning. Probably Sunday, though.

@1st bolded. What Imma do about the Scent:perplexed .......... :look:

@2nd bolded. Yep.:yep: Time for Him to Roll:lol:
 
Good evening ladies! I know you are on your way to bed! Im done under the dryer....I just styled my hair with DM Curly buttermilk, coconut pomade, and curling cream...the winning combo lol...I re-detangled again with the TT bcuz I didnt want to change a thing from what I did last time to get awesome results. I have an event tomoro and I want my hair to be gorgeous! It took me 2 hours to twist my hair up! I was just so meticulous about it, I dont even have that many twists lol, prolly 16 on each side! I realize how much time Im spending doing my hair and I have decided to go ahead and protective style next week. My regular sew-in lady just had surgery and may not be able to take me, so Im calling a salon tomoro as a back-up.

Speaking of the TT....I was on CurlyNikki earlier and saw where the ladies said that in the 10-PAGE TT manual the directions says to use the tool on dry or damp hair, but not wet like I do and to brush from the roots down, not from tip to root like we do....did u guys read that? I didnt read my manual bcuz I thought it was common sense lol...but I may want to go dig it up and take a look...How are yall using yalls tangle teezer?

Glad to hear you father is in good spirits and feeling better B.

I think I would do bases in bulk since its more economical. Tho some stuff I would order cuz it works well with my hair. Clearly this is after I get my stash down and manageable.
 
BA- I use on wet/damp hair from tip to root. Once it glides thru then I'll go root to tip.

I think they say use it like that to get the smoothing effect. I read the manual one day cuz i was bored.
 
We're having another round of snow and sleet tomorrow afternoon. Not bad, supposedly but I'll be in the house so I'm gonna do laundry, clean, and pull out stuff thats almost done so I can use them up. I know I have some BFH (Shea Almond, Shea Mango Masque, Cotton Marshmallow Cleansing) and an Avocado & Silk. Also some Claudie's Deep Moisturizing conditioner. I'm gonna do my hair Sunday night, again on Wednesday, then next Saturday. Should be able to use some of it up.

Brownie, I'm happy for your father. My Mom had a major stroke but was not affected physically or mentally and the first day out of the hospital she wants to play her numbers:lol:

I had made some observations after my latest henna

1. I'm going to need nearly a full pack (100g) for my hair now. So my stash is not going to last as long.
2. Adding oil made my hair less dry than when its just powders.3. I don't see a big difference using a heat cap and not.
4. I didn't see a difference in shedding after rinsing and styling (which I kinda already knew)

Even tho it tedious and time consuming I see a vast improvement in the health of my hair by henna-ing so I will keep doing it. I will henna once a month and if I can't then I'll use cassia since its not as messy without the dye.

Are there any specific oils that you recommend adding to henna or just what you have on hand at the moment?

Thanks in advance

Glad your father is okay

I was going to mention the same thing about the bases. If I was in the US I would have purchased these to try.

You could use it as it is or if you want to scent it, just add some essential oils or fragance oil, it would literally take you a couple of minutes to do. These companies are charging a large mark up for doing just that :spinning:
