Hattache agreed to swap out x1 Banana Brulee for a Juicy Berry Buttercreme Frosting.

Wow that's a long name:lol:.

Anyway, I finished up x1 HV Red Roobis and I'll probably finish up x1 Fleurtzy DC'er.

I have 1 back up of each.

I used my last Vial of Redken Deep Fuel *discontinued*:sad:

I saw some on ebay for $59.99 and $69.99 for x5 small vials.:blush:

I only paid like $8-$9 for mine.:ohwell:

I wish I would have held on to some of them longer. Had no idea they would be discontinued.:perplexed..:rolleyes:

Oh..Curlmart has FREE Shipping.......:look:
 
Hi ladies!

IDareT'sHair, is KV Ayurveda oil not a good replacement for AV? I'm hit the Indian store tomorrow for my ingredients.:lol: I'm skeptical on what's really in it because nettle, neem is green and that oil is not that green at all. I know the eo are original because if feel the peppermint and rosemary.

I see APB has Ayurveda sale next week:look: I'm cheap 2 products at $30 and they have to be the same.
 
@Ltown

KV Oils are nice. I love them. :love:

And there is an LHCF Discount, but now you have to spend $40.00 to get the 20% discount.

Before, there wasn't a minimum:look:

I know I'll be able to catch AV's Shikakaki Oil on Sale Mothers Day. *crosses fingers*

I was hyped too because I l :love: that Shikakaki Oil and I've always wanted to try the ACV Rinse.

With that Shipping it adds up to about $32.00-$33.00 so, I guess it's like "Free Shipping" for those items.

Because that's around what it would have cost if you bought both of those items w/o a Sale.

These vendors are getting Creative with the Games.:nono:

IDareT'sHair, how does HairVeda's Cocasta Shikaki and AfroVeda's Shikaki compare to each other?
 
Q-Redew First Impression:
It works!

Use:
I applied HH soft coconut then QRed my hair. Hair felt so-so. I recall formulation inconsistencies with SCM so I blamed that for the so-so feeling. I then applied WC and QRed my hair again. Hair felt different but in a good way. The ng was definitely softer.

Before QR, there was some resistance in parting through the ng. Post QR, that resistance wasn't there. The length didn't soften all that much but the product felt like it absorbed in my hair better AND my hair felt smoother and hydrated. My hair tends to feel rough and often times dry after product is applied, that is, until it absorbs. QR accelerated the absorption and my hair felt better all around.

The next morning, my length was definitely softer and my hair was moisturized from root to tip. My ng was still easy to part through without any resistance. I purposely didn't moisturize or seal to see what my hair would do. I was seriously looking for it to be dry and crispy by the end of the day. Nope! Hydration remained throughout the day and didn't evaporate.

Bonus:
I've had issues making Darcy's sweet cocoa smoothing cream and hair whip work. They worked nicely with the QR!

AV is lighterweight and has a Sparkly smell. Almost like Spearmint.:lick:

It's ''refeshing' like Sprite or 7up. (If that makes sense) I love it.:love:

CoCosta of course, is a Castor Oil Blend.and is a lot heavier.

Don't get me wrong...I love CoCosta too.:yep:

That's why I have a need for both in my Stash.:lol:
 
Beamodel

I did not when I started looking at all the 'other' Hair Spritz I had around here::nono:

x2 16oz Soultanicals
x1 DB Herbal
x1 AV Moringa
x1 Obia Naturals
x1 DB Herbal
x2 HH Big City Punch
x2 HV Hydrasilica Spritz
x1 Oyin J&B
x1 AV Pomegrante & Blueberry
x1 HTN Follicle Booster (I think)

ETA: Those Spray L-I's aren't on Sale in this next Sale are they?:look: :look:

Funny the Cocasta I have (in the new bottle) isn't that heavy...definitely nowhere near as thick as castor oil. I wish it were a little thicker actually. The Avosoya is light, but feels substantive between my fingers...you can tell putting it on...unlike SD Nourish, which are so light and thin. Love the smell of both. Cocasta smells like candy, and Avosoya smells (hmm...haven't had it in a while, need to re-up) yummy too.

My HV should be here Saturday. Can't wait. I will have four jars of Vatika Frosting. :drool:
 
@Froreal3

x4 Jars of VF is thebomb.com:lick:

Yeah, it's not as "Heavy" as CO but it is a CO Blend like I said upthread.

Avosoya is one of my Favs. I like it and I like the uber light fruity smell.:yep:

I also like SD Nourish and will definitely reup on that one whenever she has a Sale.

It works great with my Leave-Ins.

Right now I'm using PBN Brazil Loc Oil I got on a Swap with G.:lick:

Did you ever order APB leave in sprays? I think I like the sprays better than the leave in pudding.

My hair is extremely soft and moisturized.

:love:

I just got a leave in spray from APB. It's like a serum. I haven't used it yet, but I really like the consistency. You can really feel the oils in it and it softened up the part of my hand that I sprayed it on, if that makes any sense.
 
Beamodel

Okay...I see.

I just went into APB. The Moisturizing Conditioners and the DC'ers are the ones on Sale.:yep:

Hmph. I guess I need to wait to see if I can catch those L-I's another time.:rolleyes:

IDareT'sHair

Oh yea, I forgot you did list your sprays
 
Ltown

Thanks LT.:grin:

Gurl....You makin' me wanna buy some Listin' all them wonderful Ingredients & Thangs.:lick:

I think I may have 1/2 bottle left (no back ups).:perplexed
 
IDareT'sHair

That sale is tempting me though because I didn't bother with the DC's or moisturizing conditioners last time I was there. On the other hand, I am not looking for new DC's I have established holy grail items in that category already.

We shall see:rolleyes:, if I get them or not. I must not give in to curiosity :yep:.
 
@Ltown

You makin' me wanna pull mine out. (Maybe I will):lol: And Girl, when I put it on right out the Fridge.....:lick:

@DoDo

I have never 'really' been overly interested in the R/O's or DC'er. Just never been that curious (not enough to pull the Trigger).

I'm like you I have way too many of both of those. So, Imma KIM.:yep:

What's the QRedew? A Handheld Steamer?
Click to expand...

IDareT'sHair...it's a handheld steamer. It's like warm vapor but doesn't make the hair wet or damp. The hair is just as dry after using the QR than when I started. However, the hair feels different post QR because the product absorbs into the hair so it feels better hydrated. I tried using my LCL steamer (moisturize, steam to make the product penetrate) but it doesn't do what the the QR does. LCL dampens the hair which defeats the purpose. My damp hair draws up when dry and then I'm back to square one. I have none of that with the QR.

This product is targeted for naturals but I think it has a place in the stash for any head. I really like how my ng responded. I've used it twice now with great results each time.

Yes that makes sense. It's thick but it sprays out well. My hair is moist and swinging.

Let me know what your thoughts if it when you use it.
 
Beamodel

I though about the 20%.:look:

I'll catch it on the next Sale.

Maybe it'll give me some time to use up some stuff.:look:

I wanna buy something though. I did a couple little Sales.

I may look at my AveYou Cart again that's been sitting out there forever.:nono:
 
^Love APB's leave in spray. Her line is def a staple and has replaced HH. It's all about APB (for buttas, hair creams), HV (oils, lotions, cowash), Komaza (Protein Strengthener) (and SD (Dcers)

Everything else is just stuff I like and want for variety and research purposes :look: SSI, Soultanicals, Bee Mine, Shea Moisture, As I Am, QB, Liquid Gold etc.

One's I've ruled out are
PBN (don't like the scents)
MYHC (don't like the non-existent scents and chemical smelling stuff...Buttery soy and Sophia's Hair Grease are yummy though)

That's pretty much it.
