did i mention im all out of AO GPB? yep i finished it sometime last week, or was it saturday? anyway i thought i had another bottle but i dont so i will pick up some giovanni protein to replace it later on. right now i dont need it since im not really co washing as much.

and i have to remember to add hemp oil to my kbb mask jar.
 
I really like Mozeke's Carrot Protein and Babassu Twisting Cream (they were the only two that did not turn grey or have a mold spot on the top layer). If you want to try here stuff place it in the fridge or else...

I have a smidge of the Protein mask left by far it's a nice gentle protein. I steam with it as well. But, I'm not purchashing anything from the handmade stores until they stabilize their products. Basically, I am trying to cut out all the "extra" cost for anything with a short shelf life. Thus far, Oyin and Qhemet have been the only two that has lasted well over a year. Afroveda's Curl Define has lasted just as long.

:look:I still have an Avacado Hair Cream in the Fridge. (Still Looks fine)

And I have an Amla Oil concoction I need to use. Hopefully, I can use this up during the Oil Challenge.:lick:

It says you can Steam with it, so I may try it that way too.:ohwell:

SSI & HV have a good shelf life (at least that has been my experience). There are alot of Handmades that last quite a while and most I have not had a problem with.

Anybody can have a 'bad' inconsistent batch.:ohwell:

Like that Thread where the Lady said her Oyin HH was spoiled.:nono: It's all luck of the draw. I had a bottle of Oyin HH for over a year and it was fine.

And I had that one product that had Mold all throughout it and the vendor said she did a batch and forgot to add the perservative.:ohwell:

Sooo......Imma Hang. Unless I get really, really poor customer service, it's all still fair game for me.:lol:

yea its really good stuff. i go through that stuff like water. i know everyone really likes the HSR but that was just ok to me. i used it while transitioning. i would use it over night and then the comb would just glide through my hair.

I should just go ahead and pick up one, even if I just put a hunnen dollars on it.:look:

I'll pick up one this weekend. Does anybody know where you can get one w/o the $4.95 Charge?

I got a VISA Card for this girl that resigned and they charged me $4.95 to activate the card.:perplexed

:look: You might want to add an extra zero on the end - $1,000 until the rest of the year

I'm keeping track of what I spend this year on a spreadsheet. I stocked up on a few staples in January and also bought some henna and indigo to try. February I bought a tangle teezer. The only money I will be spending for the next few months is to get my hair cornrowed. May treat myself to a few samples for the summer

yep, luck of the draw. ive never had an issue with oyin products. except when i ordered from curlmart(and i love curl mart). but this one particular time i ordered from them and my shine and define and whipped pudding were wet. i dont mean the jar, but the product inside were wet like water had got inside:nono:. i dont want to tell yall this because SO says im weird but water on stuff its not supposed to be on freaks me out.:nono:
 
IDareT'sHair I like HV too. I've only had that line a few months...

I'm strictly going off of my experiences with shelf life. I hate being the guinea pig with my money. I like Mozeke, but I have so many other products that I don't need to revisit her "right now". I'mma need her to get that shelf life right. I have never had a problem with Oyin, so I could not relate to the HH spoiling. I think my stuff stays fresh (LOL - that doesn't sound good) because my home stays cool. I hardly run the heat in winter.

I've only had 'trouble' with that 1 moldy product. Everything else that has been wrong had to do with Shipping Damage etc......Oh Yeah, And Ori cheating me out of some product.:nono:

This is why I only stick to oil based/butter products from vendors

Quite a few people had mould in their products from various vendors and someone was left with burns on their scalp after using Mozeke products.

There would be a few exceptions that I would be tempted to try such as Oyin as I have never read any issues regarding them and they appear to have been tried and tested my many

Idk t, i got mine from my cu and they charge $3.50 but the expiration date is 2017. And no hidden fees, you spend what you got. Some of the ones i looked at in the stores charge by the month and if you don't use it regularly. Just shop around to get the best deal and check with your bank also.

I will hush, I have no right to tease you as I currently have oil river here :perplexed :blush: From the time that someone has to put warnings on their website in case the product moulds in 6 months, it is not a good sign :nono:

No, I appreciate you keeping me on my game. So thanks:yep: Yeah, Imma pass on Mozeke (for now).:perplexed

I do want to invest in another Bone Comb. I love that Comb.

I don't have enough Hurr for the Super Detangler and it is Cumbersome to use (but one day I shall.......:lol:)

I want that 5 tooth detangling comb or whatever it's called.:yep:
 
oh i forgot i ordered the honey hemp from curl mart that same time and the honey hemp seemed funny. the texture was kind of lumpy and was just weird. i didnt even finish the bottle i just threw it out.
oyin is still a staple but ill just get it from the oyin store and no where else.

These things are good to know Che. Thanks!:yep:

no problem. i was pissed that time because i had ordered a bunch of stuff from curlmart and all the oyin was messed up:nono:

I don't know how much stock they keep at once but i would imagine some of the things don't get bought up that quickly. And sits around for a minute. I know kckt is always oos, so you know when it comes in, its a fresh batch. I guess there is really no way to control inventory on how much people are going to buy because seasons change, raves, new products introduced ect.

im so over curl junkie:blush: didnt see that coming lol. i just over it though. i love the smells more than anything but her stuff is pricey and i think other stuff is better.
i like the banana and hibiscus leave in and deep fix but i can live without them. and i like the rehab but i think aphogee 2 minute and giovanni protein is comparable and cheaper.
 
IDareT'sHair said:
@chebaby

Yeah, it does.:lol:

I actually think I may have a jar in my Stash. Imma go look. I know I am totally out of the Banana Hibiscus tho'.:sad:

i have a jar of the banana hibiscus and the honey butter leave in. i cant wait to use them in the summer. i dont remember how good the leave in was by itself but ill be trying it on a braid out. i hope the bugs dont flock to me:blush:
 
:grin:Yeah, I do have 1 jar of Moisture Rehab. *I forgot to look at the Scent*

I think it may be the Strawberry. I can't imagine ordering the Coconut Gardenia.:sad:

Lemme work on downsizing my current HV Cart:look:
