Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

[destine2grow]

So I decided to only get the avocado con and okra recon in 16oz and to get some tivia (sp) green tea leave in, dc and may be an hair oil! I'm going to pass on enso! I'll probably get the dc after i try it! i hope its as good as everyone keep saying!

I co wash for the first time using CJ Daily Fix! I love everything about this cleansing con! Love the creamy consistency, cleanses w/o drying my hair and it smells lovely! This is now a staple and i will purchase a 32oz!

Also every since I used CJ leave in nothing can compare! I used the shea rinse as a leave in last night. Its great at detangling and I love the different scents but it aint got is on CJ leave in!

hey ladies
i havent started on my hair yet. i decided im going to pre poo with vatika oi, cleanse with ASIAN coconut co wash and then condition with cj rehab. i need to use rehab because i still havent decided whether or not i even like this stuff lol. and this is like my 2nd or 3rd jar. i will make my decision on it today.
and i pray my bangs will lay down in my two braids cause i dont feel like wearing a braid out.

giovanni direct is a keeper. if i can never ever get my hands on any of the stuff i buy online i would keep giovanni and kckt as my leave in.

aww shucks someone done turned you out on cj



congrats to shay on the 1 year hair anniversary.

T, are you feeling better?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@IDareT'sHair, how is your relaxer coming along?

mkd

It came out 'pretty' good. My right side coulda' been smoothed a little better.erplexed

I'm left-handed, so my right side is lacking. But overall, it went okay.

I did finish up 1 Argan Oil (a back up on the way) and 1 HTN. Have back-ups but will use other things.

 

[destine2grow]

chebaby i blame you! i cant believe u havet decided if u like cj rehab. well f u dont i would gladly take it off your hands!

Where everybody at?

T, how did the relaxer turn out?

On another note my hair is shedding a lot! starting to have clumps of hair coming out! i believe its the postpartum shedding! how ofter can i use AE garlic? Im going to also up my protein! i notice a lil breakage!

Also the density of my natural hair strands and relax strands are different! The relax strand is thinner and the natural look like a normals size.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

The Relaxer went 'fairly' well. I still got to get my skills down a little better. Thanks Everyone for asking!

I'm already thinking about my 1 wash Post. I follow Brownie's Regimen and it's been working well.

destine2grow I don't think it would hurt to use AE Garlic Weekly or until your shedding subsides. I will use it again 1st wash day along with a Nutrine Garlic Cowash.

You might want to invest in some Nutrine Garlic Conditioner (it's cheap) and you can use it for a cowasher to curb your shedding (as needed).

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I ended up getting a coupla' oils @ From Nature With Love. They have 50% off on alot of Oils & Stuff so I got:

8 ounce of Black Cumin Seed Oil
8 ounce of Pequil Oil

*Never tried either of these hope they don't stank*.......

 

[Zaz]

mkd Thanks

Ltown I do a fresh wash n go every day so that probably helps a lot with the moisture. To balance it out I use Aphogee 2 step every 6-8 weeks with TIGI dumb blonde and AO GPB in between. So far I haven't had issues with dryness and I dyed it 3 times in like 2 months

CharzI wish I knew how to convince myself that some things are best left to the pros, one day I'll end up bald But I get antsy and I get to googling and before you know it I'm leaving Sally's with all kindsa ingredients I've never used before

 

[beautyaddict1913]

destine2grow which CJ leave in are u raving over?

Hello ladies, I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend, I sure am! Last night I rinsed out the Moist 24/7, moisturized with dew, and sealed with kbb butter. my hair feels blah...I know it needs washing and I need a protein treatment. I may do one today. I am getting my hair done on Friday for my bday (a short weave) so I wanted to wait until Thursday night but I may not have time. Depends on how bored I get today if I will do my hair or not! I still haven't ordered anything yet. I am about to go look around again! Do yall know if Claudie will have a sale on the 6th or is she just coming back?

 

[chebaby]

ok ladies i have no idea why i didnt know how much i liked rehab. i love it. it plumped my curls, moisturized my hair, and it was pretty thick. i dont even remember it being this thick. i wonder why it was just ok all the other times? this time i cleansed with ASIAN coconut first and then left the rehab on for 15 minutes under a plastic cap. maybe thats why it worked this time, because it was left on a little onger.
curl junkie is fast becoming my favorite line.
cj rehab will replace most of the random conditioners i buy.

i think my staple conditioner will be:
AO GPB
cj repair me
cj rehab
cj smoothing conditioner
cj argon and olive conditioner
aphogee 2 step
oyin honey hemp

as much as i like jasmines i am hesitant tp call it a staple.

so after rinsing the rehab i used giovanni direct as a leave in and sealed with naturalista juicy leave in(only reason i sealed was because giovanni moisture does not last more than a day for me.
my bangs fit ok in the braids. tomorrow ill just add a bobby pin to hold it more.

@beautyaddict1913 I think she'll just be back then.erplexed

Maybe I'll ask her if she's having any kind of discount. I did send her an order *don't judge*

@chebaby

Nice list of Staples Che.

 

[chebaby]

Still got the Sniffles something awful. But I feel okay. Mad Sniffles. Just enough to be uncomfortable. Ya know?

I feel like buying something. But I won't. I did get an e-mail from Jasmine that her Sale ends Tuesday.

Lawd...I ain't buying no more Jasmine until BF (if then). I'm on overload.

It came out decent. ...... lol

 

[Zaz]

chebaby how do you like the ASIAN cleansing conditioners? And when you ladies say ASIAN you mean As I Am right?

 

[beautyaddict1913]

I love when we post our staples on here! Bcuz I know we all change our lists every 2 months lol! I wanna post mine but I need to get em together...I have em written down but it will take me a little longer to get em off the top of my head lol

@IDareT'sHair what are ur current staples? I know ur loving the Enso DC & Jasmine's Hibiscus and those HTN prodcucts but what else?

I recently added Oyin's BSP to my definite list of staples and I am almost out and want to get some more but it would be awesome if the HV Almond Glaze works just as good or better then I can completely take Oyin off of my list since Hairveda is one of my staple vendors! (Claudie's, Hairveda, Miss Jessie's, Donna Marie & Qhemet & maybe Komaza). If I could find a natural curl cream to give me the results I get from DMDCC and Miracurl gelly then I would divorce Donna Marie! I still have a few curl creams in my stash to try!

I got the same e-mail and I was about to bite because her body moisturizers are B1G1 free, but I'm sure she will put them back on sale.

i know thats how you really feel
glad you are feeling better this weather is crazy, we were just about to put some chicken on the grill and its raining now im hongry lol.

 

[chebaby]

@chebaby how do you like the ASIAN cleansing conditioners? And when you ladies say ASIAN you mean As I Am right?

i like it i actually feel like it does cleanse the hair. you know some of them are just regular conditioners but this one reminds me of a shampoo bar. thats the feeling it gives.
yea we mean as i am naturally.

Staples....I just have some of the same types of products different lines. Like Reconstructors, Protein Treatments, Hair Milk(s), Oils/Butters/Creams Moisturizing DC'ers....Different Lines/Same Types of Products

*BBD Stretch*
*Henna*
*Indigo*
*Nexxus Emergencee*
*Alfaparf Rigen & Alfaparf Real Cream*
*Hairveda Conditioners for Cowashing*

*These are things I will keep in my Stash

@beautyaddict1913, i love burnt sugar pomade more than almond glaze. but La likes almond glaze better, so you just have to try it and see. for my hair almond glaze is more waxy and heavier than bsp.
also DM dcc is the bomb.com isnt it? man i love that stuff. i have a second jar on the way because my jar is half way gone. i said i would never buy it again but i just had to. i love it.
i will say though that ohm sweet hair pudding seems to work the same. and sweet hair pudding has a great amount of slip and for my hair they can both be used alone.
i have the DM miracurl gel but i havent used it yet.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@13StepsAhead Gurl....I had like 2 Hibiscus in a Cart and thought what am I doing? And backed it right out. I don't need any of that.

i know thats how you really feel
glad you are feeling better this weather is crazy, we were just about to put some chicken on the grill and its raining now im hongry lol.

@chebaby Gurl...Yeah I wanna buy something I made up another Tiiva Cart and it said: "Limit 1 Coupon Per Customer" so that left me like:erplexed

That Grilled Chicken Sounds Good Right About Now.

i like it i actually feel like it does cleanse the hair. you know some of them are just regular conditioners but this one reminds me of a shampoo bar. thats the feeling it gives.

@chebaby

Yes, I agree. It does an excellent job at Cleansing Your Hair and $8.00 for 16 ounces is a very good deal.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Thanks for the review chebaby. I need to try the ohm hair pudding again. I only used it once and since it wasn't as water based as the dcc is I didnt think of them as similar. Thats good to know!

IDareT'sHair nice list! You made it sound soo simple like u are one of those people who wash with baking soda, DC with V05 and EVOO, and moisturize & seal with water and shea butter lol!!

 

[chebaby]

i almost feel like the ASIAN is better the daily fix, but since i order/buy several things from cj it makes sense to keep getting the daily fix instead of the ASIAN.

I also like HV AG better than Oyin BSP. But I'm Relaxed.

To Me, I think AG is lighter. BSP is a little too heavy. But I'd use BSP it if I had summm.....

I can use AG like a Pomade/Hair Grease. BSP is too heavy/concentrated to do that with.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

beautyaddict1913 I Guess I have Staple Categories instead of Staple Product Lines.

not to offend anyone but i always giggle at those who do this. i could NEVER even dream of deep conditioning with vo5. and i dont even deep condition much.
i remember before i found this board i knew nothing about hair but called myself deep conditioning with suave conditioner. i would run down the street and get me a suave conditioner for 99 cents and come home and leve it on for an hour
you couldnt pay me to do that now.

@chebaby

yes girl it is a mess.
the memory is so funny to me because i would get whatever suave smelled good at the time. mostly a strawberry one. and then id have to walk up this long *** hill to get back home id be sweating and huffing and puffing but id slap that conditioner on my head like it was going out o style. if it wasnt suave it was the shea butter colestorol(forgot who makes this crap). my hair hated it then and it hates it now.
