Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

I've been wearing wash 'n go's for like a week now. Why must I love it again :( This morning at work this White lady said to me "wow, your hair is so pretty. It looks like you take really good care of it."

I'm gonna continue the wash 'n go routine through the weekend when I go home to Memphis. I'll go back to my usual twist/braid-out styles next week. I've been making sure to keep my ends extra buttered up while wearing it in a wash 'n go, though.

ETA: I'm tempted to use my 2nd pass and purchase the KBB mask. I mean, I know it's not on sale or anything, but I really want to try it now, smh.

Botticelli Curls
Curls that vary in size
Curls that fall gracefully down your head instead of sticking straight out
Texture that is medium fine
Hair that is brittle and easily damaged
Curls that sometimes cannot be coaxed into making an appearance because they are weighed down by the top layer of hair

Wavy Curls
Hair that you always believed was straight
Hair that on humid days is surrounded by a halo of frizz
Hair that occasionally develops a natural wave, which you have tried to blowdry out
Hair that has a tendency to look unkempt
Hair that is flat on the crown
Had wavy hair when you were very young

She may have adjusted this or have different types in the updated version of the book.

Ok Shay thanks for this. This makes more sense to me now that I have read all the descriptions. I think I have bottecelli curls. Almost all of these describe my hair.

I really want to do a wash and go now. I can't take it anymore, I am trimming my ends tonight myself. I don't even care if it ends up crazy looking.
 
There are more categories in the updated version...

Fractal and zigzag curls are the tightest, then corkscrew. I couldn't find the descriptions online though. :(

Ugh...mad I'm typing this...for the black folk. :yep:

Fractal/Zigzag Curls (Example: Laura Izibor)
- described as twizzles, micro-spirals, or fractal corkscrews
- almost steplike pattern to your hair
- hair can be relentlessly dry and hypersensitive to rough handling
- curls do not change with the season
- a receding hairline can occur from having the hair pulled back too tight, relaxed, or the weight of a weave.
- spring factor of 9 to 16 inches

I've been in the 'mood' to buy a little something myself. :ohwell:

Hmp. Don't need another TT.:perplexed

Oh Wait.....I did buy that Bone Comb Saturday.

I looked 'briefly' at Cathy Howse UBH Products....has anybody tried????:look:
Click to expand...

I was interested in her products until my cuz told me about the f@ckery she endured with them. She has used the products since 2008, orders a bunch of stuff each time. So last month she ordered her usual in the beginning of the month. Two weeks go by no email stating when her product will be delivered nothing.
Soo she calls them....
"Hi! Where is my stuff?"
"Oh, let me look up your order, oh yeah we forgot about your order, it will go out and you should get it in a week" *Side Eye* GTFOH
I told her after 2 weeks they should of overnighted her stuff.

Sooo fast forward to 2 weeks after that:
"Hey, where are my products?"
"Oh we ran out, your stuff is on backorder"
"Are you serious? Why didn't you all contact me? You know what? I don't want my stuff. I want a return."
"Oh you don't want your stuff? That's fine."

The worst ever. I have heard other stories too. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

I steered her to oyin, she is sprung on big daddy dew, lol.

Hello chikies!

Quick story: I volunteer at my university's hospital every week and my supervisor was talking to another woman about hair. All of a sudden - mind you I wear hijab - she says, "I bet you got that good hair, huh?" :perplexed I told her if she could elaborate and she said, "You know, black and shiny. Long. You know!"

That's the first time I've come across anyone that's asked me about my hair since I've been on my hair journey. I didn't know how to react at first but I had to help her out and let her know about the good hair preach. :lol:

Hello Ladies!

I put medium size twists in. I'm going to put them in an updo of some sort.

I gave myself another dusting while I was on a S&D for SSK.

I oiled my scalp with Mixed Greens since its still a lil itchie for some reason.

Heading to bed...chat with you Ladies later. Be safe on the roads.

Thanks for the info.:yep:
 
Hey, ladies. I'm here at work, busy as heck. With attitude, too. :look: This is just not my week.

Umm, so I had a question about HTN but I didn't feel like searching to see if it's been brought up before, but for the follicle invigorator and foaming sea silk curly styler, does she and Nick Chavez products use the same manufacturer :look:?

Che logged off already? I wanted to ask her how she uses the MHC Olive You...
Click to expand...
i normally use it on dry hair(as i do most of my deep conditioners). but i have used it on wet hair too and its nice. too me its as good as kbb mask but i guess it depends. olive oil gives my hair strength and so does kbb mask, and mhc has a ton of olive oil and butter in it so they do the same for me.

Feet: Have you tried castor oil? :look: I use JBCO or shea :yep: I plan to make a JBCO/shea mix or shea/organic castor oil one day.

Lips: I exfoliate my face and lips with bicarbonate of soda and jojoba oil once or twice a week. In the winter I have to use a lip balm, I'm currently using Anita Grant's lippy pucker
 
Mornin', ladies! I'm sitting here mixing up my ceramide oils. I made a bottle up for my sister, her friend, and this woman at work.

I got to use up a Komaza Honeycomb Hair Rejuvenator, BFH Banana Avocado, MHC Sophia's Old Fashioned Hair Grease.

I'm trying to cut down on my bath and body, too. I used up 3 Jasmine's shower gels, a Jojoba Exfoliating Gelee, a Sakura cream soap and body lotion.

I have a spot right on the end of a shelf for my Use-up-first stuff. Right now, I have a Jasmine's Avocado & Silk, Claudie's Protein, Claudie's Deep Moisturizing DC, BFH Shea Almond, and some Redken Deep Fuel sitting there. I'm not cutting these out, I just have quite a few so I want to cut the stash down.

Vonnie, my night at work last night was ridiculous. Folks were just working my last one! But I'm off for the next 3 days so I'm good now!! :yep:

I'm gonna use the Olive You later. I'll let you know how it goes.

Charz - I love the whole look you got goin on in that siggy!!
 
I can't wait for Spring!! It was 3 degrees last night, and I think its about 11 right now! I want take a quick little trip as soon as spring weather hits.
 
Morning Ladies.

I think I'm going to cut back my M&S to once every other day.

My hair feels a bit oily today

Will tie my hair up for the day and see how it feels tonight.

Until Later Ladies.
