Good Morning ladies!
I'm feeling good the scalp not itching after one day of treatment! I got my KBB mask, brought some shea moisture conditioner to try so I'm do inventory and see what else I might need before tomorrow. I don't think I need anything for hair and I have plenty of KCKT. :lick:

Glad that your scalp is feeling better. Take care trying something new if your scalp has not fully recovered.

With regards to the homemade deodorant, I thought the 60% bicarbonate of soda (BOS) and 40% cornstarch was still a little too strong so I tried the 50/50 mix a few days ago. This time I added sage essential oil which I have used in my previous deodorant of aloe gel & witch hazel. The BOS and sage essential oil together was much worse than when I first used 100% bicarbonate of soda. I burned so bad that my armpits literally blistered :nono:

I am pretty sure they will be permanent scarred but at least the scars are not easily visible. I am slathering shea butter on them at night to lessen the scars.

I made a batch with just 25% BOS and 75% cornstarch and just added a little bit of organic lavender oil and a couple of drops of tea tree oil and used that for a couple of days. I am now off work until Monday and will not using anything during this time except for pure organic virgin coconut oil which some people have posted worked for them as a deodorant. I tried it yesterday and it did help I will see how it goes for the next few days.

I put in last night some QB BRBC and topped it off with QB OHHB. Softest hair ever, even more soft then the hair dew.

I think I'm tired of the smell of my hair dew. I might put it on the exchange board.

Charz if you decide to get rid of it let me know. I have a new jar of OHHB we can swap if you like.
 
Woo-hoo! y'all know AfroVeda is having a sale...right????

I'm going to try the Ashlii and Amla and STRENGTH Blueberry & Pomegranate Silk-N-Strengthen Spray

I was addicted to doritos & pepsi. I used to be addicted to coffee too. These days I still only drink coffee on a regular and that is only 1 time a day during the week.

ROSAlinb, I'm not putting anything on my scalp it will closer to the ends for a while. I used regular store baking soda for my deordant and use your recipe which was great but I'll probably won't use shea butter and just use an oil less thickness.

If Qhem came out with a Protein Treatment, a strong curl definer and Bulk Conditioner I would only buy from her line.

Same here.

That says it all! You probably should suggest it!:yep:

But you are right, it's possibly the best line. Maybe that's why I keep Oyin and Komaza in the rotation. The Curl Definer is probably the most important item missing from her line. Hopefully the Aethiopica Cream will work for me.
 
I decided to use a pass and buy something finally. I was initailly going to get some Qhemet but the Shea Moisture sale was too good to pass up. Its BOGO, much cheaper, I can get it locally and it smells divine.

I used up a Giovanni Wheat Protein poo and a Suave CWB conditioner.

natura87 if you haven't gone to walgreens already there is also a 15% off coupon for today only you can also use.

Barnacles. I was a bit distracted, so I missed it. I had my cousin with me and that boy gets into everything. The cashier was a black girl and when she rung it up and saw the price sh started to look at it like "Ohhh."


There is a 5 dollar coupon if you sign up with Walgreens to get emails and stuff so then it would be 2 for 5 which is a crazy good deal.
 
Good afternoon ladies! What a day! I had to go to court all morning with 2 clients, so that meant back and forth between two courthouses! I had to remove my hair zing 6 times today! I mean 6!! I was sooo mad! My hair was so cute though so it didn't mess me up too much bcuz my makeup was fierce - so simple - studiofix on my face, MAC Rule on my cheeks, Maybelline Falsies mascara on my lashes, & MAC Cultured & Backlit on my lips - a 3 minute miracle on the drive into downtown!

Next time I go to court I will tell them that my hair zing is sewed onto my hair and I can't remove it lmaaoooo! I don't have type 1 hair where I can just take out my hair clips and put them back in and who cares if its messy! Stuff has to be strategically placed in my type 4 hair and it has to be NEAT lol!

Last night I didn't co-wash bcuz I didn't workout. I moisturized my hair with kbb milk & sealed with MHC hair grease. Thanks IDareT'sHair! I LOVE that grease! I think it could replace my Oyin BSP! MHC offers 6 jars for $30 but that would be really IDareT-ish of me to go ahead and haul like that after only using something once lmaoo! Im kidding, just giving my friend a hard time! But I am going to make a few last purchases tonight since Im on no-buy in April and I am getting weaved up first thing Saturday morning! Hopefully I can get off work early tomoro to give me all day to prep my hair! Im excited but its bittersweet!
 
hello ladies
last night i tried a dry braid out but didnt like the way it turned out so today i conditioned with claudie's protein and i left it in for about 15 minutes. i did not follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. i dried my hair in my towel and could see my curls in the front returning:yay: so then i found a little cj strengthening conditioner in my shower and used that as a leave in and slicked my hair back in a low pony using donna marie dcc to smooth back.

the dcc is fastly becoming my fave styler. its thick but not as dense as the komaza califia pudding so i think the dcc has it beat. i love that stuff.

tonight im just gonna tie my hair back with my scarf and continue to wear this puff with no added moisture until sunday.

sunday i will pre poo for an hour with the rest of my claudies protein, shampoo with aphogee and then follow up with komaza protein for 15-20 minutes.

im not a huge qhemet fan but i would surely try her protein and curl definer. she has great products they just arent the best for my hair.
i have to give that to oyin. but again, oyin needs a protein conditioner.

chebaby its a true grease but you know grease kinda acts like a pomade, you can seal with it and it smooths your hair. Thats all my mom used on me when I was little - Nexxus leave-in & Blue Magic, I had NEVER owned gel until 2010 lol. But MHC is more oily and thinner than a pomade. I used it to seal and on my edges. I wouldn't grease my scalp with it either! You would love the peach smell too!:lick:

Hey ladies, just got home from the gym and getting dd. It was so hard to get myself motivated today. My dad told me if you don't move around won't nothing get done and he is right. Anyway nothing going on with my hair today, its still soft from the shea moisture, going to figure out what i am going to use for wash day tommorrow.
 
What have yall used up for the month of March?
I can remember using up a KBB Hair Masque, an SSI Avocado condish, some oils, a Taliah Waajid PMB, and some KCKT. Im getting ready to use up another KBB Milk!

I can't remember, think a kbb hair mask and something else. I can barely remember what i did yesterday:look::lachen:.
 
Time is going by sooo slow! I get off in 30 minutes! I tried taking a 20 minute power nap but my co-worker woke me up after about 10 minutes lol! So I just made a cup of purple acai & blueberry green tea sweetened with stevia! This stuff is AWESOME! I feel a little energy already! I thought I was going to need to go home and have a nap before going to the gym but I can go straight there now! I am going to go home and co-wash with KBB condish so that I can see if it were that or the EVOO that made my hair dry!
