So far this morning I used up:

The last drop of my Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo - not a repurchase.

Also finished the bottle of 4 Bella Naturale Yucca Root Restorative Cowash Conditioner - also not a repurchase. I have never used a cowash before so I have nothing to compare this to. It was not bad as a cowash, but because I am used to suds, it just felt weird.

It had little grains in it that washed out pretty easily and it definitely cleansed my hair well. It had a little slip but not as much as I'd like for detangling. In total, I would give it a 4 out of 5 because of the suds and because I use way more than I would with a sudsy shampoo. I can see me wasting a lot of money this way so I won't repurchase.

I have APB and NG Co-Cleansers coming soon and I'll compare it to those and if it's pretty much the same, then for sure, cowash cleansers are not for me. I'll simply stick with my sudsy shampoos.

You used the whole bottle of 4BN CW in one use? Was it a sample or a full bottle?

I loved the sample bag. I got too much. Drunk elephant aha kit (I blame @toaster for that), Laura Mercier illuminator palette (being returned), Bite lipstick set, Juliette has a gun perfume discovery kit. Way too much smh.

Love Drunk Elephant!!Everything I used from them worked wonders. I'm getting a facial peel series at a medispa so I'm using products they sell there now but that's an excellent line.

*back to lurking*

So I just got my CM order and in it was a 16oz bottle of Kenra curl styling conditioner.
I immediately e-mailed CM thinking they made a mistake and was told that came free with all orders made during the Labor Day sale :eek:.

The sale email said nothing of this but I'm glad I got it to try out. It says it can be used as a R/O or LI

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by CM?

With my CM order I received the 16 oz Kenra curl styling conditioner as well as a 1 oz Bumble and bumble BB curl style defining creme and a dual packet (10 ml ea) Hask argan oil repairing shampoo and repairing conditioner. The invoice listed the Kenra as a free gift but did not reference the other products. I have not used any of these products, but it was a nice surprise.
:love4:

Glad I listened to WGB Conditioner another try. I forget I can't use it in hot dry weather and I hate that. Will have to keep it around.

@Saludable84
I'm glad you listened to me too!:giggle:

I didn't care for this at all relaxed, but have a sneaking suspicion it may work very well for me natural.:look:

That's turrrible you went through that NG in x2 uses. I liked when she offered 12oz, but she discontinued them and went 8 & 16oz only. I was thinking about getting x2 8oz Jars of something from her BF.

Now, I may hafta' move it up to 16oz or just get x1. I do wanna try her new Babbasu DC'er.

The Silk Dreams was the same when I was relaxed. I could only use it spring and fall. It's the same now. It's a tad less moisturizing, however, my natural hair isn't as "thirsty" as my relaxed hair was. Just uses more product due to density.

With the NG, I used the C&B because last week I used protein. This week, I just conditioner washed. Idk how I used so much, but I know with my hair, one day I will use a lot of product and another I will use a little. I haven't quite figured that out.

I have been making it my goal to only stick with 12-16oz DCs for this reason. I'm really glad APB will start offering them. 8oz are really only good for starting/trying out.

My goal for next year is to really limit my DCs to DB, NG, APB and SM.

:goodpost:

Very Nice Post.

Yes I always try to get at least 12oz's, preferably 16oz as well. I make it a habit to look at 16oz when available first.

Didn't know APB was now offering 16oz's. That's great.

I do have quite a few 8oz's I need to get through. Some CJ, DB Hair Mask, KBB, MHC and others (all multiples). And a few one-off 8oz's that I will pull out and start on soon.

ETA: Imma try to start on my week off NW21 today. And resume next weekend?
 
@IDareT'sHair she will start on BF based on her thread in Vendors. I'm glad because I can stock up and not have to debate on what to use. When I have 12-16oz DC, I tend to only use one at a time.

I used the Netwurks 1x this week. It helped my roots in the twist out. I'll be back to regularly scheduled programming tonight.

I haven't opened the jar of SM JBCO I put in the shower, but just might open up my Jakeala Dope and Flax-marshmallow, along with using up my CJ just to get rid of my 8oz DCs.

Right now, I'm rotating x2 (LACE Brahmi and NG's Coconut Water) and an 8oz BoBeam.:love:

I hope I can make it a week w/o reaching for NW21.:look: It's somewhat addictive.:eek:

I know I'll be keeping some 8oz'ers in the line-up. BoBeam, CJ, KBB and others, so I know a few of them will stay in Da'Stash.

I really liked that SM JBCO. I never repurchased it though. I used it as a Pre-Rx.

ETA: I like both Jakeala's Dope and the Flaxseed Marshmallow, but I used the Flaxseed as a Cleansing Conditioner.

I should have picked up BoBeam when I was being a bad girl, but luckily the stuff I wanted was OOS. I've always had success with her and am curious to try her conditioner.

SM JBCO is bae.

I will probably use the Flaxseed as a CC, but it's really got to be great to repurchase. You know I don't be experimenting with cleansers like that. I'll use them this week.
