Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

Evening Ladies.....:grin:

Well I got a purchase from that BFH I posted a while back. My BFH Stash looks a little more managable now.:blush:

Not much going on. Did a mini scalp massage with HTN Oil.
 
Hey, ya'll. I'm here, back at work. I'm bored, too. My trainee took a vacation day so I'm all alone. Probably a good thing cuz I'm in a real funky mood.
 
I brought this about month ago http://www.healthyhairplus.com/

haven't tried it but Allandra had mention it awhile back because it has emu so I finally brought the poo/conditioner and follicle stimular. I'll try it out tomorrow won't be using any the follicle stuff got to let the scalp heal.

Thanks, T. And, we're supposed to be getting 4-8 inches starting at midnight, going until 3pm. So that means another ride home in sh**ty weather. :nono: Mind you, it was almost 70 last week!

@Ltown

Those sound good Ltown!:grin:

You shoulda' tried HTN's Follice Booster & Conditioners. (Especially since you like the Oil).:lick: I'm stuck on these right now.

I haven't even wanted to use anything else.:blush: *and that says alot, for me*:look:

Let us know about these:yep:

You know when I went to the local shop that has everything, I grab HTN because I had read about it and really didn't know how it was going to work. That was my first ever big haul and as you know MHC and CJ wasn't for me so I'll probably try it out. I actually have some MHC scalp elixir somewhere. This is not BB but ingredients are good and I'll let you all know how it is.

Well, at least you know you can get HTN Locally. (And that's good:yep:). I thought you kinda liked your stuff from MHC?:sad:

But I think you would like the other HTN products.:yep: The Protein L-I, the Amino DC'er etc......

What is this? @bolded?
 
wow, yall are freezing...its hot here....i've been cooking so Im sitting in my home office with the fan on since I don't run my a/c until April lol...when I was out earlier today it was close to 80 degrees! Ughh I'm not ready for the warm weather!

I was lurking in here late last night and sooo jealous of all the stuff yall have been using....I was ready to take my weave out...today made 2 weeks of having it in...but I need to protective style so I revived it by detangling with Nature's Gate Henna Shine & washing with Carol's Daughter Khoret Herbal Amen & following up with more henna shine. Once out of the shower I scrunched in a little Aveda Brilliant (thanks T!!) & a few squirts of Taliah Wajiid PMB....OMG my curls are ressurrected lol...I tried to cowash this hair with some V05 last week and it was TRASH! I hate that conditioner...I have 3 bottles that Im holding on to so that I can do my henna treatments in April. But even if I continue to use henna I will not buy V05. I will just have to rinse as thoroughly as possible with water before using my conditioner so that I use less!

What do yall rinse your henna out with?
 
beautyaddict1913

I rinse my henna out w/VO5, Suave Tropical Coconut or White Rain but I always DC with something nice afterwards.:yep:

I co-wash with a Moisturizing DC before I henna (not the ones I use for the Rinse Out) & then DC with another Moisturizing DC'er after I henna.

I use the Cheapies are strictly for the Rinse-Out. I don't co-wash with them 1st or do anything else with them.:blush:

black business! I buy from whomever/whatever works from my hair. I know other only support bb. What I picked from MHC didn't work and you know I finally figure out shea butter is not good for my hair. I do have a little of MHC aloe vera leave in left, oh I have some whip jelly stuff I haven't use yet and HTN amino deep conditioner. I grab MHC because it was 40% sale and I don't do glycerin or jelly with my hair. I actually have some HV whip jelly to give away. conditioners and most leave in are good but styling creams/gels are hit/miss for me.

T, that sounds cute(hoops, pony red lipstick). i finally found my perfect shade of red. took about 2 years, i thought red just wasnt my color. but i love dior lipstick. i cant remember the shade off the top of my head though.

anyway ive been banned from washing my hair in one bathroom lmao. the stupid tub keeps getting clogged so i have been sentenced to do my hair in another bathroom smh.
i have kbb mask on my hair now. will leave it in for 10 minutes then rinse and detangle with curl sublime conditioner and bun with milkshake, sunshine and slick back with califia pudding.

i just realized the komaza coconut pudding has a ton of little white things in it. i hope it doesnt show on my hair when i finally get around to using it.

my staple list changes everytime i blink but now my staples are:
califia pudding
komaza shea lotion
oyin dew(like yall didnt know)
kckt(this doesnt wow me but i buy it every time i run out so i guess that makes it a staple)
aphogee shampoo for damaged hair
AO GPB
giovanni sas conditioner
curls coconut sublime conditioner(ive missed this)
aphogee 2 step
bee mine curly butter
bee mine luscious moisturizer


surprisingly i dont have any staple deep conditioners. kbb mask doesnt work for me like it used to. i like komaza olive but ive only used it once so dont want to call it a staple yet. curl junkie not a staple.
Click to expand...

im the EXACT same way with KCKT...I want to try califia pudding & bee mine curly butter but oyin hair dew is next on my list of things to try...waiting on curlmart to have at least 20% off!

I would be banned too bc I keep clogging up my tub :nono:. I need to get to Home Depot and get that zip clean thingy people were talking about.

I finished a mix of Alba Botanica & Darcy's Daily Leave In. I was using it to detangle. I'm now moving on to Qhem's Burdock Root Butter Cream to detangle. I have 2 jars. I'm just trying to use up these creamy leave ins. This is the last of it.
 
Ltown - love your new avatar :yep:

My friend was natural this time around for about 3 or 4 years and just relaxed her hair about 3 weeks ago. Last night she called me and told me it started breaking really badly just a week later :sad:

Can you please recommend something that is good for breakage and extremely, extremely cheap, eg no more than $10, preferably nearer $5 - my friend will tell you herself that she is poor.

I was going to give her one of my AO GPB conditoners before she told me about the breakage, I'll still give it to her next time I see her but I'm sure she will need something stronger, not sure if even my BGA Hair Rescue Mask would work and she would only have enough for one treatment as it is almost gone.

It is strange as she always suffers from relaxer burns and has never had much success with relaxers but this is the first time that she has never burned and she was really happy with the results. She told me that she has just put it back in plaits and she will try to salvage what is left when she takes them out.

Any help would be appreciated

Maybe she could look at getting:

Roux Mendex
Ultra Sheen Duo Tex
Apoghee 2 Minute Reconstructor

*thinking of items within your price-point*

Hope she gets it straightened out.:sad: Roux Mendex is the only one of these I've used

You could also do a search in some of the relaxed threads:yep:

ETA: I just looked at a thread and some suggested ORS Mayo?

Rosa, I'm sorry your friend is suffering. I use protein and deep conditioners alot especially if I get some breakages, haven't had any but Aubrey and Giovanni has numerous types of conditioners that fall in the $10 price ranges imo. Neutrogena triple mask is good about $7 for dc.
She definately need to leave heat alone and wear protective styles, reducing the manipulations. Increasing the moisture, to reduce dryness will help as that what chemicals can do, I use leave-ins and oils to mositure and seal. Some use pomades, shea butters if she has it that can help too. Hope she finds solutions and I'm sure the other ladies will chime in.
