the bolded is something i would try with the new added protein:lick: it was an ok conditioner before but with the added conditioner id give it another try.
 
um ladies whatchu think about shea moisture? :look:
honestly im not too fond of anything so far. the shea butter conditioner has zero slip for me. and i dont remember it being all that moisturizing. the shea butter hair mask was a mess on my hair. it was unnecessarily too thick and just sat on top of my hair, when i rinsed it was as if i never conditioned. my hair wasnt hard or dry it just didnt feel like i did anything to it.
the coconut and hibiscus milk was ok. not too different than any other leave in. the smoothie i have but am still trying it out.

so who got something from the afroveda sale?


Y'all know I like AfroVeda, but when I tired to order the coupon did not work....so I emailed her. It should work now.

So I attempted again, and the shipping was $11 for 2 items. :sad:
 
um ladies whatchu think about shea moisture? :look:

Its really hit or miss! I love the deep treatment masque as a DC but I hear a lot of ladies on NC rave about preferring it as a leave in. I love the smoothie as a moisturizer, not a styler. I HATED the milk - it made my hair really dry! I think you just have to figure out how those products work then go from there. I have been really wanting to try the original shea moisture leave-in, its not sold in the bss here, is it sold there by yall?
 
@chebaby

Yeah....I've been using Heat with my Reconstructor(s) and My Protein Rx's.:lick:

I read in some thread a while back, that Heat should be used for Protein Rx's to help it penetrate deeper.

yup, the first time I used the Claudie's I used it with just a shower cap and nothing happened. After that I used it under the PIBBS and my hair got hard - not like potato chips or anything - but in a good way lol...LOVED it!

Im sitting here now with KBB conditioner under a shower cap, getting ready to rinse and apply kbb milk and MHC grease, gonna do 8 large braids and wear a hair zing again in the morning!

Do yall wanna know a secret? Yall know the convertible bras? I NEVER use the straps so I take the straps from them and wear them as headbands - they are PERFECT - adjustable, lined in satin, the right size! I love it! I learned it on yt and have been doing it for a few months now!:grin:
 
rosalindb

Girl I sure Hope So!:lol:

It would be Marvelous if I could go the entire Summer and until Black Friday.:look:
IDareT'sHair If you managed that T, it would be amazing.
Charz you could increase your stake (you could throw in a 55 inch TV for T if she succeeded don't worry I think you are safe) :look:

i remember honeyquat being all the rage. i was light weight interested but back then i was like i aint adding nothing to nothing lol.
the honey comb sounds good. so ill get it. glad it doesnt have neem in it. for some reason im not too fond of neem. and all these companies that do herbs seem like they add neem extract or oil a lot.

now im interested in the admin story:giggle:

chebaby - what is about neem extract that you do not like. Can you smell the neem. I have some neem oil and it stinks :nono: I literally had it for over a year before I dared to use it. I treat it as if it was an essential oil and literally just add a few drop to 500ml of body oil. Someone posted on NP the other day that it smelt like a pig farm :lachen:
 
I am so tempted to go back and get more shea moisture and try some of the other products. At this point im just being greedy, lmao. Tell the truth and shame the devil. No one is buying it so im like will the manager really reorder it for me when i need more. Me and him need to have a little come to jeezus.

Wash day tomorrow, wash with shea moisture shampoo, dc and detangle with kbb mask, moisturize and braid with hair dew and kbn oil.
That's funny about "come to jeezus". I say that all the time. Matter of fact one of my coworkers called me yesterday and requested one bc she was feeling bad about something she knows she shouldn't have. When I use it mostly relates to some of this trifling part time staff we have. But see they don't play with me. I'm known as a fun & laid back supervisor as long as you're doing your job. But they also know I do not suffer fools kindly.

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 used up Mozeke's Avocado Cleansing Cream, Natural Jenesis Shampoo, Grapeseed oil, Darcy's Botanical Pumpkin Seed Conditioner, Qhemet's BRBCx2, NJ Coco Meringue, Honey Hemp, Rhassoul Clay, Acai Berry, and Claudie's Reconstructor

Speaking of Sunshine, does anyone know how that fundraiser went?
Don't know but I haven't donated anything.

Will be revisiting this now

the bolded is something i would try with the new added protein:lick: it was an ok conditioner before but with the added conditioner id give it another try.
Exactly

um ladies whatchu think about shea moisture? :look:
I love the line. Matter of fact I will be acting a fool online (:yep: too lazy to go anywhere today). I will be getting the restorative conditioner, deep treatment masque, coconut & hibiscus shine mist, and I want to try out two of the shampoos.
 
um ladies whatchu think about shea moisture? :look:

Charz ,The restorative conditioner is nice, it gave my hair slip and my hair is still moisturized from wendsday that is all that i used on it. I have not tried the shea butter moisturizing shampoo yet. I liked the dc ok but more as a baggy cream. And i must say if you don't like the scent of frankensence and myrh then you will not like these products with the yellow label, they are very strongly scented but the scent does go away. I don't know where people got a cake batter/frosting smell from:look:.
 
Morning ladies, well today is the start of my no-buy, i did not get more shea moisture and i won't. I can't get a rain check for later because its not selling so it will probably still be there. I have enough to last until the next bogo. Lawd help me, my friend at work brought me a sample of gucci flora and i want some but i just have to wait. *hums nearer my god to thee*.
 
Morning Ladies...Well I Bought????:look:

April Fool's!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

GOT 'CHA!:lol:

Yep. I'm ready to do this Thang.:look:

I'll Holla'

Lawd...I hope I make it:perplexed
 
Good Morning,

I'm good on the no buy for hair products, I got some JOICO at TJ max, and Elasta foam wrap yesterday. I still have my HV coming but that was already paid for:look:

I will be selling my Karhisma henna and indigo so whomever not on a no buy it will go on the exchange.

mkd, I used the Donna Marie curly creme and it works fine this morning but my hair wasn't completely dry so it end up frizzy but that technique not the creme. See yall I'm learning,:grin: I didn't diffuse it dry.

I'm sure I can use anything now that I have a technique down(diffuser) my braidout worked with qhem and CD so I may revisit some others that I have in my stash like shea moisture since it local and the ingredient are good for me.
 
um ladies whatchu think about shea moisture? :look:

Charz I like the shampoos. I've tried the moisture retention and the coconut/hibiscus. The moisture retention one reminds me of a cleansing conditioner. It's a bit more moisturizing than the coconut; which to me is similar to giovanni's 50/50.

The hair milk from the coconut line was moisturizing and worked well as a leave in. The smoothie didn't work for me as a styler and the moisture level was just ok.

I use the coconut mist as a styler base and I like it for that but not refreshing.
 
curlyhersheygirl

like what's the benefit of washing out the DC and just going to add a leave in conditioner anyway?

I think I'm done growing my hair and protective styling. My hair is too long. I can't imagine it being longer than SL shrunken. I am tempted to chop some of it off. When I get my hair dyed in June I am getting a 2-3 inch trim.

I'm wearing my hair out everyday.

Charz
You're right. People use regular conditioners as leave ins all the time.
Last week I steamed with QB's MTCG and it absorbed so well into my hair I didn't want to rinse. I think I will try it.
 
This no-buy is going to be rough this month. I can tell, i am not usually back home this early on friday from running. I passed by all the stores and kept it moving. I guess i can switch my focus on making money than spending this month. *sigh*.
