I'm going to try to cancel that Naturalista Juicy order.

There are just too many non-flattering reviews of CS issues amongst other product performance and consistency problems.

I just don't have the patience to wait on another vendor to get around to sending me my stuff.

I can deal with BJ and Mala but I've been buying from them for years.

I can't accept that with someone new, so it's best for me to cancel.erplexed

Maybe I can get che to send me some because I think she can get it on the Ground.

 

[Froreal3]

Damn you Keravada! Grrrr...I might not buy that Fenugreek since they don't have it in my fav scent...Buttercream.

 

[Brownie518]

.......so SD is expecting? That's great!!

 

[Brownie518]

Okay So Anyway...in other random news

So you were going to get some Juicy? That joint is moisturizing, I'll tell you that much. So is the spritz. My niece loves it on her natural hair.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Froreal3

Yeah. They limited their choice of Scents a while back.

In fact, it's very "Limited" IMO.

 

[Froreal3]

.......so SD is expecting? That's great!!

Yeah, she's been for a minute (last I knew). Well I'm glad I got the three dcs that I did get (AP, RCA, & VS). I woulda got another MSI, but I have one in the fridge unopened, plus I have a bunch of protein stuff to use up.

I ordered the Juicy yesterday, but ever since, been having 2nd thoughts about it.

The CS issues still don't seem to be fully resolved.

I was discussing my purchase via pm with someone that was telling me her 'horror' stories about her purchase.

So, I requested a cancellation. We'll see what happens. ANGTFD.

And I don't feel like waiting 4,5,6 weeks for something from someone I've never purchased from.erplexed

Hmmph....well, that's my excuse for not taking advantage of this super fantabulous awesome sauce sale.

I had no clue until someone said so today

It is a Fantabulous Flash Sale.


Beamodel

I went directly into PayPal Dispute Mode and just expressed my concerns there about slow shipping, non-responsiveness to customer inquiries and consistency of product.

We'll see.

IDareT'sHair

Oh goodie.

It is...it really is. But I have a ton of oils/butters that melt into oils...so I really don't need the KV right now. I am trying to buy more according with what I actually need now.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Beamodel

We'll see what happens. I.just.can't. 2014 I want it easy-breezy.

Especially since I don't really need nothing in the 1st place.

I don't need to be stressin' over no durn hair products with no durn vendor I ain't never done business with before.erplexed

Just like with that Texture Me Naturals....I was so glad I got my $ back.

I have not seen 1 positive review about those products.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Froreal3

I know Ms. Fro - it is a great Sale. And I can "blow" through some Oils with the Quickness

DC'ers are the one thing I have made a conscious effort to not try to buy. Waaaay to many.

Although I have Claudie's Khave on my M-Day list.

And b.a.s.k. Cacao Bark is making it's way on some kind of list over here.

 

[Brownie518]

I didn't know Naturalista got mixed/bad reviews...

I wonder when SD will put stuff up on Etsy. If she's gonna be closed for a few months, I really need to haul. I needs my Razz!!!

Oh, I used up a Peppermint Pomade. I had a small bit left and just used it up. I'll go back to my Rosemary now.

I'm 8 wks post right now. My new growth is getting serious. Ok so last night I sprayed my new growth with Scurl (not really a fan of it but I keep it around for stretching moments) and then my APB spray only new growth too.

Y'all know I must be geeked out bc my new growth is super soft and moisturized.

I am loving all the variations I am doing with APB leave in sprays. Thought I would share with my hair triplet friends lol.

My silks dreams shipped. I purchased it from that other online vendor.

This means this would be great with a glycerin water spritz. I am going to try that too. Hmm, I wonder how it would work with a glycerin, water, and avocado spritz....

@chebaby

Where I am it's the perfect weather for glycerin. I am going to start reincorporating it into my regimen. I always have glycerin in my DC's but I have been shying away from them in leave ins and butters. I can bring it back into the rotation.

The glycerin in the S-curl and the honey in the leave in spray probably teamed up for a double hit of moisture leaving your hair feeling and looking .

I used to be a kitchen mixtress at the beginning of my journey in order to make butters for my hair. This sunny weather and the happy ingredients I have been hoarding are making the urge come back. I am about to research how to infuse hibiscus and marshmallow in oil. Yay, summer is coming and maybe some summer concoctions :reddancer: !

The S-curl is already one of your staples so I know that's convenient.

Doing a Mid-Week Wash. Will mix b.a.s.k. YAM with Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair & Steam.

@chebaby

I'm trying to get a refund from Naturalista Juicy.

Too much drama getting stuff from them etc...

So I filed a PayPal Dispute the next day after I placed my order requesting a Cancellation.

We'll see.

There is still too much shade with wait times, shipping issues, consistency, and receiving Jars that are completely filled up due to *cough* settling....

So, Imma settle and get my Monnee back.

DoDo I need to revisit my staples list. I cannot use the new SCurl formula whatsoever. Scalp tenderness and discomfort. The old formula is great provided I don't use too much. Overuse makes my hair sticky. I want an alternative for several reasons - I will be out of the old formula at some point plus it takes too much effort to find that sweet spot for it to work like perfection as a moisturizer. It works great as a ng spritzed combined with baggying. No denying that.

Hey girly... Are you washing tonight? I pulled out HH pink grapefruit. It's not on her site anymore. Well I looked today and it wasn't.

Have you tried making a glycerin water oil spritz? I know you may not like mixing but on the ground I have had great results in the past with that. The S-curl is really just silicone, mineral oil, argan oil, glycerin, and water. I imagine that you could get similar results making a spritz and sealing it in with a serum. There are online alternatives but that will never be as convenient as getting S-curl for about five dollars on the ground. However water from the tap (provided you have soft water) and glycerin comes pretty close.
