@IDareT'sHair I think I'm just going to do mini twists in my hair and keep it that way for the rest of the year. There's also a chance I might straighten my hair before the new year just to length check/trim. Of course this will depend on my mood by that time

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair @rileypak I found myself buying vitamins, clothes, shoes, and makeup. And no, not in that order either

 

[Aggie]

I've got my heat protectant from Dominican Magic, NG, APB, 4 Bella Naturale', Terrenefusions, HOB, Bel Nouvo, Hattache, JCPenny, Thermal Hair care, She Scent It, Sally Beauty orders all complete and on their way to me, one by one .

Woohoo! Now that was some shopping I did this weekend .

 

[BrownBetty]

I didn't get anything this time around. I meant to pick up the netwurks but forgot.

Received Ship Notice from Naturelle Grow (x1 16oz Pink Clay DC'er)

 

[Saludable84]

I noticed some of you are over in the other "Official" N/B thread, when you can't even successfully do these mini N/B's?

I'm sure there is some logic for doing this, but I cannot figure out what it is.

So, one of Ya'll gone hafta' enlighten me to the rationale.

@Saludable84 @Aggie @KinksAndInk

I couldn't make it to Sephora in time during the break

@IDareT'sHair If anything, I will only re-up on products I consider staples.

At this point, I feel like I have enough staples that I won't need for BF. I'm going to stock up on APB for the spring, but I was just thinking of trying a few new vendors because I have so much stuff in terms of staples.

Washing 2 days a week should help me get through these deep conditioners

What clay is in it? Kaolin? Let me know how you like it.

 

[Saludable84]

@IDareT'sHair i know you love the QB CTDG, but what I want to know is if outside of moisturizing, do you feel it strengthens? With the humidity kicking in, it's hard to be glycerin and honey free and I don't really like playing with protein outside of deep conditioner.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Saludable84
Not sure about the 'strengthening' properties only the Moisturizing ones and it is definitely moisture on steroids.

@Saludable84
It says: Indian Clay/Australian (Pink Rose Clay). It gets really good reviews. Will be my 1st time buying/trying.

The life of a PJ

Waiting on Sarenzo, Hattache and House of Beauty
Got my Cream and Coco yesterday

 

[IDareT'sHair]

For the next few weeks, I'll be diggin' deep in my Stash tryna' prep for BF.

Glad my BF list has slimmed down some.

I just don't want to fill the void with a bunch of 1-offs.

I'll be pulling some of those soon (Inashi, KJ Neapolitan, Bel Nouvo, Jakeala's Beer DC'er and any 8oz'ers that I don't have multiples of)

Yeah, its Kaolin. Its supposed to be super moisturizing.

@Saludable84
Thanks for that.

I'm not an expert on "Clays". Are some better than others?

What type of "clay" is in SM Purification? Do you know?

I also have Jakeala's Beau Vert which is also some type of Clay Masque.

I need a review on Kinky Kashmere's DC'er to see if I need to keep that on my preliminary list.

IMO, it's not worth it. This conditioner has a thin, creamy consistency that facilitates great application and excellent slip. However, the moisture and softness level it provides is mediocre at best. I gave it away and I don't feel badly about it since it was only $10 for 16oz.

@PJaye
.... Thank You.

I think you may have already told me it isn't worth it?

But I keep being drawn back to it for some strange reason (maybe ingredients?)

I guess the regular degular price is $20.00 for 16oz's which I think is 'steep'?

Not sure what I would do if I caught it for $10 bucks & free shipping tho'.

Because even if it is $10.00 and if shipping is $5,$6,$7 and it's mediocre, I'll still feel like I lost.

In that case, put the dice down and walk away from the table.

I also have Jakeala's Beau Vert which is also some type of Clay Masque.

SM has Kaolin which is the mildest of clays. It will lift "charged particles" but its not heavy duty. Heavily on the moisturizing side.

Jakeala has bentonite which is the harshest of clays. Harshest because it can be compared to clarifier in lifting "charged particles" but leaves your hair very vulnerable to more moisture being received by the hair. Its pretty low on the list, so its clarifying affect will be minimal and it should leave the hair soft. Its marketed for MHM people, so it should be good. Im saving mine to actually try as a pre-poo. I have no need for it as a DC.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Saludable84
I can't remember how I used the sample of the Beau Vert I had? (I think I Steamed with it)

I now have x2 Full-Sized Jars. Maybe I'll both pre-treat and steam with it.

ETA: Thanks for the brief lesson on clay(s).

@PJaye
Really!
You know how hard it is to quit when you're ahead.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@PJaye
It kinda reminds me strictly based on consistency and color of BBB Babbasu which I was also dying to try that tore my scalp skrait up.

I was going to take a week off from NetWurks21 today (wash day), but decided to use it.

Steamed with: NG Coconut Water & Mango.
