bronzebomb to be honest I think the whole curl type isn't that serious. People can't even agree on who belongs in what area. I've been told I had 4c, 4b then 4a hair :rolleyes:

A good deep conditioner, cleanser or moisturiser will still be good from 2a to 4c type hair. Now if you're buying styling products trying to turn your tight corkscrews into huge Tracy Ellis Ross type curls then yeah, you'll have issues but a product won't work dramatically differently from 4a to 4c really.
I'm not gonna not take advice from T cuz she's relaxed, or buy something that she says gave her blingin super smooth straight hair and be like "why come my hair isn't straight?" :perplexed

I think you're unecessarily limiting yourself. As long as you understand what your hair can and cannot do, you're good and just take advice from everyone *shrugs*

In conclusion, buy more stuff :look:

to add to this, i think as long as you know what ingredients your hair likes you shouldnt have any problems.
for instance i would never buy a product where there are no butters and the only oil is jojoba oil. my hair is not that fond of jojoba oil by it self and in products it needs to be accompanied with other oils or butters.

also i know that while evoo is moisturizing or softening to most people, evoo strengthens my hair. i can look at an ingredient list and know if itll work for me.
 
I've found that I can actually use quite a few products naturals may use.

Naturally, I don't use Twisting Puddings or Gels, or Defining Creams but I do use alot of the Lotions, Butters, Oils & Deep Conditioners that you Naturals are also using.:grin:

Also Spritzs. So, It's been my experience, alot of the same products are working for my Relaxed Hair as well.:yep:

We're all primarily using alot of the same products. (With the exception of the Relaxer).:yep:

true.
i think when people market their products to naturals it generally is just richer is butters and oils. thats it.
and twisting butters can just be used as regular hair butters really.

Same here, back in my uneducated PJ days I used to buy Kerastase sometimes as a splurge because it was expensive and a deep conditioner so it must be good for my hair :nono: Now I turn that bad boy around and see it's filled with cones, a buncha dyes, parabens, not worth $40 for 8oz a all :nono:

I'm not even necessarily against those ingredients but at $40 you better be using all natural everything with some rare exotic oil from a remote part of the earth :lol:

@chebaby

Right.:yep: We pretty much have about the same reviews Likes/Dislikes on certain products.

With the Exception of Relaxing I think me & @Brownie518 are using alot of the same things as you all (Naturals) with the exception of a few products.

I like the Handmade/Natural Products for my Relaxed Hair instead of the Salon Products. This way, I can eliminate Cones, Alcohols and alot of other 'stuff' with questionable ingredients.:nono:

There are times when I will pull out Joico, Redken, Nexxus but pretty much I stick with the Handmade/Natural Products as well.:yep:

i know if a product doesnt have a huge number of natural ingredients in it(even if it isnt all natural)it wont work for me. so i stay away from conditioners with a ton of cones and stuff i cant pronounce.

in fact the only non natural products i have are co gel which i barley use, aphogee 2 step, and hair rules curly whip.
 
In the beginning of my natural journey I didn't know what my hair liked. It appeared that Qhemet was crap. It wasn't until my hair grew out that I liked it. Most people don't like Miss Jessie's, I do. Many of you like KBB Lucious Locks...I don't. HairVeda's Acai Conditioner, is just OK...The only thing I have to have at HV is that Sitrinillah. I :love: Komaza. Dislike Njoi Creations. Like Carol's Daughter. I think it's hit or miss with my hair and I find that the thicker the better.

So I try products, alot of products...but my gels, setting lotions, curl enhancers do not work at all. I hate Eco Styler, KCCC, MiraCurl and any other shingling product. except Miss Jessie's, it gives me a finished look.

I'm a butter and lotion type girl...with thick conditioners. When I steam, Sitrinillah, Oyin and Komaza work the best.

i agree we can use pretty much the same stuff.
when i was relaxed i used salon stuff like joico, paul mithcell ect. and the minute i started transitioning i started using cj, kbb, all the natural stuff.

in fact before i even found the boards i had started using carols daughter on my relaxed hair. her hair butter was amazing for my ends.

Yeah....Pretty Much. We may use it in different ways or for different reasons but we can and do all use similar stuff.:yep:

I think my hair is the better for it by using the Handmades/Naturals.:yep: It's alot gentler on my hair.

I can't wait to try out Hairveda's New Green Conditioner *Limited Edition* :lick:

Hope it gets here soon.:look:

I have little hope for this. But i pulled the trigger and purchased. I hope it's thick.

oh yeah, I like Mozeke too! But, she needs to stablize her products before I ever purchase again.

So right now, CJ is the only line I'm feaning for...:lick:

I'll try the conditioners when there is a sale AND I can get free shipping! So I mat do a haul!
 
curlmart always has 15-20% off. that generally where i get my cj from.
i only ordered from aveyou once.
now i get my cj locally but if i get the big bottle of rehab ill have to order from cj.com.
 
^ i almost purchased. i will next time. no hurry...they always have 20%off i don't see any 4B reviews...

I;m going to put the butta on the list...i like heavy creams
 
I wish yall were still up so we can keep chatting it up lol!

I just washed my hair with SheaMoisture Retention shampoo & used Claudie's protein. Im about to rinse and DC with Komaza Olive Moisture for the first time!
 
Hey yall!

Had to wash my hair last night. Only had my hair straight for a couple of days but it was worth it. I was dying to put water on my scalp! :lol:

I broke down earlier today and got a few things from Hairrogant.
 
Hello, all!!

I'm here at work, last night for the week, until next Sunday. I am dying to get out of here, too!
So, I did a bit of purchasing this weekend...:look:. The only other thing I'll be getting is Claudie's now. I narrowed my list to 16oz Deep Moisturizing and Reconstructor, and a Normalizing conditioner. :yep: I resisted (so far) the Enso. If I do get some, it will be the DC, Moisture tea blend, and that serum.

I'm going to hang around the house tomorrow, making champagne cocktails and grilling. :lick:

I plan to wash again on Tuesday, a super moisture session.
 
Hi ladies, checking in haven't been on. I finally mastered my internet time so i don't spend as much time on the computer anymore. I have used up an avocado silk and a shea rinse, have replacements of course. Other than that nothing going on with me. The colochas will be 3 years old today, still haven't purchased anything and really don't want to. You all have a good holiday and talk to yall later.
 
La Colocha
Congrats on 3 years natural. Today would be Vonnie's nappiversary too IIRC.

ShayShay is so much happier now. I did an ayurvedic paste and an oil rinse over the past few days. Those had been missing. My hair feels pretty good without those techniques but feels amazing when I do them consistently.Rinsed the paste out in the kitchen sink. I will do that from now on.

Damn Claudie ain't having a sale when she gets back? If she's not having a sale then I will wait. I want too much to not get it on sale.
