@IDareT'sHair What you get from SSI?

My QB came. Going to some beauty supply stores in Richmond tomorrow

I haven't been there myself but I heard Edify Beauty Supply on Hull Street is a good one. Black owned. I think it is really considered in North Chesterfield.

@Golden75

I just got a bottle of Cranberry Hair Milk. (Had it before and swapped it)

I do have: Banana Brule, Fortifying Mask, Coco Crème (currently using) and a Jar of Seyani Butter.

Oh and a bottle of Tahitian L-I spritz. Hated it Relaxed. Wonder how it is Natural?

@IDareT'sHair IIRC the Tahitian spray was nice on my natural hair. I liked the other moisturizing spritz a tad better. Can't think of the name right. Not sure if she still makes it.
I have less SSI juicy berry buttercream than I thought. It melted, separated and looked and fuller when I found it. I shook it up and it's like 1/8 if that much of the jar left.

@Shay72 thanks! I don't think I looked at that. Do you know if any good wig shops? My mom needs to get her shop on. I found one on Jahnke Rd. Wig Heaven. The other store I was going to look at Beauty Full on Chamberlyne.

QB lovers, how are you using CTDG for your tangles to melt away? I detangled with it yesterday on dry hair and got way too much breakage. It worked better on damp hair for me. @Golden75 @curlyhersheygirl @MileHighDiva and others.

I'm not a fan of it on dry hair either. It works better on dampened hair for me too.

@divachyk
DD has great results with this either way but for me it works best on wet/damp hair.

I'm not a wig wearer so I'm not sure. I can do a quick post in one my FB groups and find out. Yes, I heard of Beauty Full and know exactly where it is. It looks huge.

 

[Shay72]

I see Hairveda is having a sale. Imma hold out for the Hattache Memorial Day sale. I plan to cut up. I usually set a budget and always pay cash so I have to figure that out. I may wait on HH and Oyin until Black Friday so I can truly act out. Besides I need to head to Target soon so I'll scoop up some Oyin's J&B. I'm working on my list which I will post but it'll be revised a million times been now and then.

@divachyk

Always Wet/Damp. Neva' on Dry = CTDG

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I wonder if I coulda' gotten a better deal with the HV Sale instead of using my points. And now I want a 9oz Whipped Clouds.

Let me contact them and see if I can possibly add that.

@divachyk
I've used it both ways. On damp hair it detangles for me. On dry hair I use it as a moisturizer only. This is what I'm currently using and it works wonderfully for my hair

 

[Aggie]

Just finished using up a small jar of Matrix Biolage Sunsorial Conditioner. I've had that one forever and decided to prepoo with it this morning for about 20 minutes and NJoy hair oil. Another one I'm trying to get rid but it seem like that bottle has no end. I won't be re-purchasing the hair oil because I've decided to stick to making my own hair scalp oils from now on.

@Shay72 That would be great if you could do a post checking. If I tell her go to wig heaven and she finds nothing, I will not hear the end of it! From the pic online Beauty Full does look huge.

What she said,

 

[Beamodel]

I pulled out my Liquid Gold Java butter and my Hairitage Hydrations Coffee butter

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

I still have boff of those too. Will keep holdin' on.....

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Heard back from BJ & 'Nem about adding a 9oz Whipped Clouds to my order.

I've been killin' some Whipped Clouds and was happy to see it is now in a 9oz Jar. Good Stuff. I should get x2.

 

[divachyk]

Thanks ladies! I can see why you use CTDG as a moisturizer. My hair felt exceptionally soft after using it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk

It's been a true Blessing for me trying to detangle.

Very, very helpful with that whole entire Ordeal.

 

[flyygirlll2]

I washed my hair earlier and am now air drying. I used a little bit of the MTCG and some CTDG. So far so good with helping to detangle

I plan to use the Apalus Brush tommorow to stretch my hair so I can trim. The relaxed ends keep sticking together and is driving me insane

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2

Hey Lady!

I'm under the Steaming now. May give the Brush a try tomorrow as well.

I am using Smoothing products today to 'prepare myself'

My biggest/scariest issue is fully detangling

 

[divachyk]

I wanted to wash this morning around 7 but it was bad weather here and in the south, we don't play that -- you sit down and be quiet when it's storming (thundering and lightening). I will wash tonight though.

@IDareT'sHair are you using CTDG to pre-wash detangle?
@flyygirlll2 what do you use to pre-wash detangle?
I think we have the same hair attributes from the apalus thread.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Don't think I'll be using up anything this wash-day.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk
After DC'ing. It serves as my L-I

@divachyk



I think that's Coast to Coast in "our" Community.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Hey T! Using smoothing products is a good idea. I don't think you should have any issues with the brush since you're detangling in advance. I didn't use a comb at all today, just my fingers. I have moments that I can't be bothered with using a comb unless my hair is a birds nest tangled.

@divachyk to pre-wash/detangle I use either Terra Veda Organix Banana Slip Detangling Slip ( which is excellent btw) or CD Black Vanilla 4-in-1 combing cream. I also combine that with an oil. I really like APB Green Powehouse Oil or HV Vatika Frosting since it has Coconut Oil in it to help against hygral fatigue. HTH!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Dang!

Curl Junkie shole got a lot of yt Models "representing" on their site in their Ads.....

A little "too" many if you asck me....

Wonder how many yt folks actually buy their products.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

HV Vatika Frosting since it has Coconut Oil in it to help against hygral fatigue. HTH!

@flyygirlll2

I'll use a Tablespoon of EVCO too for this purpose.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Is Curl Junkie black owned? Are you getting anything from their sale? I've never tried anything from that line.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2

I always thought they were? (I could be wrong tho')

No, I've got a good bit of it left in my Stash and I've recently been picking it up at Monique's Natural Hair Boutique and Aveyou.

I do really like everything I've ever purchased from this line.
