Hey Twinzie :-)

I've missed you all a lot. It's morning not doing much to my hair since I'm in box braids. When are you gonna post more pictures of your gorgeous hair darling...

Beamodel

When my hair starts acting right, :lol:!

Right now I have it in my trusty twists :cloud9:. It's my way of being hair lazy :lol:. I am not touching my hair except to moisturize for a little while :yep:.

I used to hate twists early in my journey. Now that I can bun them, they have become a lifesaver :drunk:.
 
Feel like I haven't posted in forever. Been pretty busy w/school and work. Also, I was out of town for a bit. It's nice to have some time off.

Anyway, I used some BRB stuff yesterday. Pumpkin Puree and revisited the Cocoa Rhassoul. Love the way this goes into my hair. Still just moisturized ok. Not a repurchase. Will probably end up giving away my BRB stash. :( Verdict is still out on the Puree. I will give it till tomorrow to see if it provides any lasting moisture.

Also tried Jakeala's Flax Marshmallow Cowash/DC as a dcer. This looks so cool in its pink color. It is also really slippy and nice going on. Very easy application. It was also nice rinsing out. Wasn't too impressed as a dc though. Will use up the rest to cowash with or something.

I was looking at my stash yesterday and boy is it utterly ridiculous. I need to stop acting up on Blk Friday every year. :nono: Not good. My APB stash alone is way more than overkill. My game plan for this year is to give away the stuff that is just meh for me. Someone else might like it. So far my favs are QB, APB, SD, and Komaza just for the protein strengthener. Bekura will be my splurge because so far I like everything I've tried from the line.

I see yall mentioning Mielle, Sweet Nature by Eddie, and some other new peeps. IDK...I think I'm done with new vendors. Every time I try a new dc or something, I get disappointed because my HGs can't be beat.

Most of your heavy hitters are mine too.
For me it's Bekura, QB, APB, Oyin, Koils by Nature, Curl Junkie and sometimes PBN.

I am also very on the fence about new vendors. It is very hard to live up to my expectations nowadays.
 
Used:

BRB's Chai Tea today. :lick:

Thought I'd finish the jar, but I may have enough for one more Pre-Rx.:look:

If not, I'll mix it with either:
TerraForma Rx
SheaTerra Organics Pre-Rx
SSI Coconut Sorbet Pre-Rx

Unfortunately, I don't have a b/u of the Chai Hair Tea, but will repurchase either M-Day or during another BRB Sale (provided the discount is decent).

I also pulled out a 16oz Jar of: BM Bee-U-Ti-Ful DC'er. :love3:

Man! it made me remember why I love it so much.:love:

Glad I have another 16oz b/u.

I really need to stay knee-deep up in my Stash!:lol:...:nono:


IDareT'sHair

I am sure you will find some goodies that way! :yep: :spinning: :love3:
 
Yeah, so the only thing I like from BRB is the Chai Hair Tea. That was really yummy, smelled good and softening. :yep: The Puree, Coconut Milk, and Toasted Marshmallows weren't very moisturizing for me. :( I had to reapply QB BRBC and APB hair cream.

It's definitely better to be safe than Sorry.:yep:

FroReal

That's too bad.:nono:

I hate when I have to apply something to 'fix' something.:rolleyes:

I sold Coconut Milk & Toasted Marshmallow before I tried them.:perplexed

I do like the Pumpkin Puree paired with the Pumpkin Hair Whip tho'.:lick:

But I even liked it alone.:yep:

Too bad it didn't work for you.:sad:

You also said you didn't really care for the Cocoa Rhassoul either right?
 
IDareT'sHair divachyk

Mardi Gras is a wonderful experience unlike any other. I love living in New Orleans.

Diva, you must experience it at least once.

Idare, things are easy yet boring with my box braids being installed. Been using my oils though lol.

Boring is where I am with wigs Beamodel. So easy yet so boring w/r/t my hair. I've been lurking mostly since I don't have anything much to talk about.

What yall doing? :look:

My brother sent me a pic of his hairline last night. I just ordered him some Liquid Gold Growth Oil :giggle:. No more purchases for me until next week.
 
Hey divas I finally tried BRB's chai tea and that was another winner. I'll repurchase that and the rhassoul DC during a sale.

I used up the following.

16oz Ynobe alma and nettle DC ( multiple backups)
10oz MC terraforma ( 3 backups)
4oz APB hair pudding ( multiple backups)
8oz APB LI (multiple backups)
1 gallon AVJ ( no backup)
4oz ST platinum roots (no backup)

Sent from my XT1080 using LHCF

@Eisani

Gurl....You a Mess!:lol:

I just purchased SNBE's Follicle Booster Hair Oil.

I've been doing a Sulfur Regimen (lately). Haven't tried LG's Version.

N'Joy (former member here) also supposedly has a nice Sulfur-based Oil.

I haven't tried that either.

@curlyhersheygirl

Good Job using stuff up. :yep:

The Cocoa Rhassoul is now: Cocoa Rose:rolleyes:

I Agree! Both the Chai Tea and the Cocoa are:lick:

FYI: Claudie said if anyone is running 'low' to contact her and she will invoice you until she reopens, and will also give honor the 20%.
 
IDareT'sHair I ordered the LG oil for dd's friend-boy around Black Friday and his thinning stress patch has completely filled in :yep: so it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw my brother's pic.

I was peeking at Ynobe earlier today. I don't need anything though.
 
Eisani

Never thought about looking at LG's Oil.:blush:

I do love the Green Magic (which also contains MSM).:lick:

And the Whipped Java Bean and Vanilla Hair Cremes.

The Amala one reminds me of AV's Shea-Amala.:yep:

And they do have that 'lhcf discount'.....hmph.

Did you get any packages today?:sad:

My SNBE Shipped. Hopefully, it will arrive in a couple days.

IDareT'sHair I've only used the Green Magic once :look: which is strange because I love MSM. I forgot about the discount! Is the LHCF discount more than that standard 10% code?

I am STILL AT WORK :nono:. So many people are out sick, it's ridiculous. I hope I had a package or two delivered today. Waiting on SSI and Jakeala hair-wise. I have another package that's supposed to be my early bday gift to myself that should (better) be here today or tomorrow.

Eisani

*BOO* For still being at werk.:boredwrk:

Yep. The LHCF is 15%.:yep:

I hope you get somethin':drunk:
 
Eisani which LG product did you buy bro & her friend boy? My dh is really sensitive about his patch.

ETA: reading is fundamental. I see you purchased the oil.
 
Still waiting on my Bekura / Bel Nouvo. :ohwell:

Clarified and detangled my hair. Finished an American Cream Conditioner (Lush). Used the Lush Jasmine and Henna Fluff Ease treatment too.
I used the Big Shampoo from Lush as well, its got chunks of salt in it. Tried the Coconut milkconditioner from Alikay Naturals and I love it. Glad I got the 16 ounce. Put all of my liquidy Soultanicals stuff in the fridge. Just to be safe.:ohwell:

Twisted hair up for a few days. I will get it blown out, straightened and trimmed this Saturday. I found a Korean near a base ( aka they have experience with Afro hair) that can do it for pretty cheap.:spinning:
 
Twisted hair up with Shea Moisture gel and Soultanicals. Im not expecting much definition but meh. It just needed to be done. :yawn:


Im on a no buy unless a really good sale hits. I dont need anything. Im good in all areas.
 
Hola!

natura87 Did you order directly from Alikay? I'm trying to decide if I want to order from their site directly or through someone else.

IDareT'sHair I got my SSI yesterday. Going to use the Blueberry Cowash tonight, DC possibly w/Cocoa Rose, and put my hair in some twists. I haven't twisted my hair as an actual style in a few years, I'm curious to see how it looks.

divachyk glad you found the info :wink:
 
Its really creamy, has crazy slip, smells delicious, the perfect consistency. I cant think of 1 bad thing about it.

@natura87

Nice Review! :up:

I looked at the Alikay site. The 16oz is $22.00:ohwell: Will look at Target to see if they have it.

@Eisani

I was thinking the same thing about Alikay.:look: *and they don't have sales often*:rolleyes:

I know Pampered & Twisted has it.

I looked at Sally on-line and they have a very limited selection. Um..like 3 products.:lol:

I'm sure your Hair will turn out cute.:yep:

I like both the Blueberry Cowash and the Cocoa Rose.:lick:
 
IDareT'sHair I started a cart on P&T and Target, both containing Alikay :look:

I also made a Jakeala cart. That Mustard/Ginger dc is calling me! I'm trying to behave but APB is looking less and less appealing so I may just use that money on more Jakeala even though I haven't even received my first order yet :look:

IDareT'sHair don't forget your Ebates for Target :yep:! Only 1% cash back right now but hey, better than nothing lol. That lil cash back plus the rootie poot Red Card discount are excusable since I get free shipping.
