@divachyk The AP gives me a blow out look too. My hair laughs at low heat as well but I'm not bothered.

 

[divachyk]

@flyygirlll2 @IDareT'sHair, I can definitely see that brush heat damaging ones hair if you do not glide across the strands quickly. I kept that in mind while using it. If I need to use high heat, I'll just use my Babyliss Pro Titanium for safekeeping.

I used Bekura Honey Latte and Kera Care Silken Seal to blow dry.

Judging by how my hair looked post Apalus, I really could have stopped at the blow dry step. However, I wanted to use the brush to see what it could do. My hair felt great after blow drying and heat brushing. Today though, it feels dry. Maybe the environment sucked the life out of it.

@IDareT'sHair Girl, I already have a cart made for APB.

Yeah @rileypak is a pusha but an awesome one.

@flyygirlll2
Yeah....She is pretty special. I guess we'll Keep Her. @rileypak

@divachyk @flyygirlll2
I do have PM Super Skinny for next time I decide to play around with it.

My hair looked blown out too. I'd hafta' go totally Fo'-Fiddy to get anything else out of it with better looking results.

 

[divachyk]

@IDareT'sHair, I have PM Super Skinny too but used Silken Seal b/c the stylist used it at my recent salon visit.

I got a 'sample' bottle of: Knot No More Detangling Cream by Treasured Locks. Will try it tomorrow instead of NG. I can't remember where I got it from?

It's a decent size sample just like the sample bottle of Curls Lavish (which made me buy a couple full-sized bottles).

 

[flyygirlll2]

@divachyk @IDareT'sHair If the mood strikes me and I want my hair REALLY straight, I'll opt for my FHI or one of my other flat irons. My hair can tolerate heat but for now it's not something I care to use frequently.

I will post what I bought in the "What Did I Buy Thread". Overall it was hard work but I enjoyed myself. I told them I would love to help with future events. They have 2-3 more this year. They thanked me over and over for my help. They were very appreciative.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Sounds like you had fun Shay even with all the work. It also sounds like you got some good stuff.

 

[Beamodel]

It's official. Aloe Vera juice dries my hair out. Not too bad but enough for me to still try to avoid it.

I don't understand how this moisturizes folks hair.

 

[divachyk]

@Beamodel I have such hit and miss results with aloe that I feel like I should start avoiding it. For real, for real, I don't understand how folks love it either. It dries my hair out terribly.

 

[Shay72]

I'm trying to ignore the fact that y'all keep saying APB has new products. I see I was right about Claudie's she's having a sale too. Does anyone know if Naturelle Grow is having a Mem sale?

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Shay72 So far, no word from NG. I'm sure she might have a sale.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Shay72 @flyygirlll2

I asked NG a while if she was having a Sale, I'd be happy to list the 'deets' on LHCF and all she said was: "Thanks"

She never said yeah or nay about having a Sale.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Purchased a back up of: LRC Shake & Go. @rileypak

 

[Beamodel]

Purchased a back up of: LRC Shake & Go. @rileypak

I thought about getting a bottle of shake & go but since the first ingredient is aloe Vera and I JUST confirmed my hair is iffy with aloe Vera, I will pass...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

That's too bad.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

@Beamodel I have such hit and miss results with aloe that I feel like I should start avoiding it. For real, for real, I don't understand how folks love it either. It dries my hair out terribly.

Shea Butter aloe and coconut are the worst for my hair. All three together I avoid. If it's past the top five ingredients I tread lightly. Most times aloe acts as a protein for me.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used Up:
x1 DM Super Buttercream (x1 back up)

 

[divachyk]

@Shay72, the struggle is real.

@shawnyblazes, oddly enough, coconut works well for my hair. I try to avoid wheat protein and aloe. Shea butter is so-so. Amla is a definite no. It sets my scalp on fire.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Probably won't have anything coming for a while? But on the way I have:

Sarenzo (x2 separate orders)
Sally
Lawrence Ray Concepts
Treasured Locks

Hola ladies,

Mem day I'm ordering:
Jakeala
APB
LRC *
Claude's*
(* maybe)

 

[BrownBetty]

I'm undecided on AVJ also. I've used it as a final rinse, no go. I am using it as a refresher mixed w/ water and oil, I'm not convinced that it is benefiting my hair. I have a huge Trader Joe's jug I'm thinking of returning.

 

[KinksAndInk]

Avj makes my hair dry and crunchy too. I can't use it in liquid products if it's in the first 5 ingredients. If it's a creamy product, I can use it with no problem regardless of where aloe is on the list.

 

[Beamodel]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this AVJ problem

 

[divachyk]

Y'all used up product like a bawse! @curlyhersheygirl

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@curlyhersheygirl
DANG.....

The Kurl-Fam's Use Up List looks like 3/4ths of the folks entire Stashes.

 

[divachyk]

@curlyhersheygirl is Parchute worth the hype that was buzzing on Instagram last year?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk

I know you didn't ask me, but Clawd....it is extremely difficult to get out the bottle.

Doesn't it have Mineral Oil etc....?

I used it early i my HHJ. I can't remember too much else about it as far as performance. I know it had an "odd" scent.
