@IDareT'sHair

I can't help it. I use the APIE (assess,plan, implement, evaluate) process on a daily at work so of course it spills into my personal life.

Shay72

Gurl....I 'admire' how you APIE Your Stash! Seriously.

You never get all willy-nilly buying stuff. You just handle your business.

 

[chebaby]

That DC'er is the Business I think You'll Love it!

I might pick up some and another Luscious when/if CM has another 20% Sale or if BM has a Good Sale.

i might use the bee mine deep conditioner this weekend instead of just having it sit there.

 

[Brownie518]

IDareT'sHair - Thanks, girl!!!!

 

[mkd]

IDareT'sHair, I want to try out the dumb blonde you sent me. Do you use moisture after it. I wonder if I can use it alone.

 

[Brownie518]

@Shay72

Hey Shay, do you think HV will have something either around Mothers Day or Memorial Day?

What Say You?

Didn't you just get a haul from BJ the other day??
...I hope she does soon, cuz I need more pH Rinse.

mkd - you know I use moisture after any type of protein or reconstructor. But thats just by choice/superstition . The Dumb Blonde is one I actually used with nothing but a quick rinse after. I think once you rinse it, you'll see and probably won't want to use anything else.

[mkd]

Brownie518, do you DC with it?

 

[bronzebomb]

Y'all I know you don't like Miss Jessie's, but I used the following line up

1. Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo
2. Rapid Recovery Treatment
3. Bear Fruit Hair (African Export Leave-in
4. Curly Meringue

Here are the results. I my hair.

 

[Brownie518]

@Brownie518, do you DC with it?

Yeah, I usually leave it on for about 30 minutes.

 

[Brownie518]

bronzebomb - do you use that African Export leave in often? Is it really moisturizing?

 

[bronzebomb]

Brownie518 this was my first time using it. I think it's very moisturizing. My hair is really soft. I hear complaints about Miss Jessie's being very drying. I was with friends tonight and they said "This the best your hair as looked." It is super shiny!

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies, i don't have to work tonight. I chose to go in early sunday. I will only cowash today and detangle and moisturize my hair. I won't dc today, it has gotten really cold outside and we are supposed to get snow tomorrow. Yuck.

bronzebomb thats beautiful! I love your hair too! You know I am a Miss Jessie's fan - even though a year ago I turned my nose up at her products and now they are staples! The meringue makes my curls look like that! The different results that each curl cream gives is amazing! I never wanted to try her DC'er or shampoos though...I may be trying the super sweetback soon though

I know you love Carol's Daughter. I have the hair milk and lite but havent tried it and the khoret amen shampoo and the Disney detangling condish but neither are worth a repurchase for me. What do you love/dislike from her line?

 

[natura87]

Twists are in. Sesame oil is gone. I made the twists really small so they should last for a while. I am thinking about wearing twists and twistouts consistently until the summer.to gt some more growth. No particular reason why, just becuase.

 

[natura87]

I have never tried Carols Daughter and i dont think I ever will. I was recently in Sephora and I saw the products. I was perturbed by the prices and the size. Maybe its the thrifty PJ in me but I just dont like paying out the for products that have subpar ingredients, stink and just look waxy. I admit the products looked nice from the outside but the smells made me gag, product was seperating and it just rubbed me the wrong way.

What happened to Carols Daughter ? I heard her products were really good...

 

[bronzebomb]

beautyaddict1913

Carol's Daughter is a favorite. I don't know why...Maybe because it was my first.

I still use the Healthy Hair butter, the Hair Mimosa, Black Vanilla Leave-in Conditioner, Loc Butter, the Hair Elixir and Balm.

Although I won't repurchase any time soon, it's one product that has not spoiled and I purchased them all in 2007. I do not like the Hair Milk and I have not tried the shampoo and conditioner. The only item that I have repurchased is the Black Vanilla Leave-in Spray (Conditioner).

As for Miss Jessie's, OMGoodness, I love the scents (on all the products). Miss Jessie's products give me a finished look. All other products give me that natural bushy look with frizz. But, I will never pay full price, I'll have to use the BOGO in December. If they do away with it...They have lost a customer. There is nothing in their line that's worth full price! Nothing!

BTW, I think I am getting the Malaysian Kinky Curly hair from Mane Depot. I'm waiting for Ediese to send me the referral. I think I want lots of hair this summer...I hope I don't pass out.

yep the Healthy Hair butter did seperate...but I stirred it up, and used it!

The only natural products that have not seperated on me are:

Qhemet Biologics AOHC & BRBC
AfroVeda Curl Define
Komaza Care

Even one of my staples, Oyin, seperates.

 

[chebaby]

today i cleansed my hair with AIAN coconut co wash conditioner. what i like about this is that it is actually a cleanser and not a conditioner. reminds me of shampoo bars as far as how my hair feels after i use it. i love this cleanser. and this huge jar will last forever.
the texture and look of it is just like CURLS coconut sublime conditioner which yall know i love.
i wore a naked wash and go today and people commented that they dont like it. i find that so funny because i dont care. i love my naked wash and go. and my hair is so soft even though i didnt follow up with a conditioner.

tomorrow im wearing another naked wash and go.

 

[chebaby]

i hear carols daughter has a monoi repairing line of products coming out. i will purchase it if the ingredients look good. since it says repairing i hope one of the products is a hair mask.

@IDareT'sHair - Thanks, girl!!!!

Brownie518

You got it Cuz

@IDareT'sHair, I want to try out the dumb blonde you sent me. Do you use moisture after it. I wonder if I can use it alone.

..... Uhh....Yep! And it was a BIG ONE

@mkd - you know I use moisture after any type of protein or reconstructor. But thats just by choice/superstition . The Dumb Blonde is one I actually used with nothing but a quick rinse after. I think once you rinse it, you'll see and probably won't want to use anything else.

mkd What she said (bolded). I always follow up with Moisture. I normally DC afterwards. But alot of you all use Okra and don't DC afterwardserplexed I DC after that one too (just out of habit I guess).

I need this process in my life!

Gurl....Me Too! Shay72 don't play

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Evening Ladies.....Hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start. I wanted to take the time to Formally Apologize to @Ltown about the other day and also everyone in this thread.

I went after her a little 'hard' and don't want to be offensive to anyone. So my Apologies to All.

So @Ltown please forgive me and come back. (Although I can't guarantee it will never happen again) And I'm just being honest.

In other hair news: I used up a BFH Mango Macadamia to co-wash with and I am under the dryer with Nexxus Keraphix Reconstructor.

I think I have about 2-3 wash days before I self-relax, so I wanna get those Protein Rx's in there as much as possible.

 

[Brownie518]

I am sooo tired right now. I think I'm gonna have to take a nap real quick.
I did so much shopping today, it was ridiculous. I really need to do like La and go on a Don't-Buy-Sht type of no buy for a while. I really do.

Anywho, I won't be doing my hair again until Sunday morning. Until then, I'll be using Follicle Booster, emu on my ends, and probably some Marula Hemp Balm.

 

[chebaby]

mkd, you hair is like mine when it comes to protein. i dont think you need to follow dumb blond with a moisturizing conditioner because dumb blond is much like joico k pack and i never followed that with moisture once i realized i didnt have to.

tonight im going to slather my hair in vatika frosting(i did this last night and even though i slept with my hair out on a cotton pillow i woke to soft oily hair) again and then cleanse with the ASIAN again but this time follow up with curls sublime. wear a naked wash and go and call it a day.

i didnt make it to the natural store today but i may end up not going. i really dont want anything except my yellow shea butter so ill get that tomorrow. i have a mix in mind i want to try.
