Well Lady your Research is paying really off 'cause your Hair is ...

Thanks Sis! I try my best. Still reworking my regimen. Will start using that blow dryer that I know you bought too. I want to do it every 2 weeks or so to see how it goes.

@flyygirlll2
Was tempted to use it again this week, but changed my mind.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Yeah, my list is not drastically different from last year either. There’s always some one off that pops up during these sales though lol.

@flyygirlll2
I hope "one-offs" and TMC don't mess me up this year. Cause TMC was not really a major thought.

I’m going to have to bring myself to do it because those ssk’s and tangles worked my nerves. I can’t be bothered with air drying at this point unless I’m not feeling well or something.

Yeah that might mess me up lol. TMC also had a Christmas sale last year too. They had stuff for like $3. That’s when I stocked up on some of thermal products.

 

[rileypak]

want to try the Papaya one as well.

Get the Apple Nectar Nourishing Conditioner along with the Papaya too

 

[flyygirlll2]

@riley Always the Pusha
It’s on my list too. Her DC’s never wowed me but her conditioners work better on my hair for some reason.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@rileypak I will also be getting some skin care stuff too for BF

 

[rileypak]

Looks like my SSI cart will include Papaya Ultra Nourish Conditioner, Papaya Super Hydrate Hair Mask, Apple Nectar Nourishing Conditioner, Pomegranate Pear Hydrating Curl Spray, and maybe something else from either the Papaya (leave in) or Pomegranate Pear line (hair cream).

I was going to get the PP hair mask and rinse out but I don't need conditioners with protein in them.

@rileypak I will also be getting some skin care stuff too for BF

I had made my makeup & skin care list in the MU forum and was going to stick to it but I already know it's a lost cause

My birthday makeover look today:

Yes @Aggie yesssssss! You betta!

 

[Saludable84]

Let me get outta here.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

LOOOOOOOOVE the application and slip of this MC Ancient Egyptian gel. If my hair dries nicely, I will be purchasing another jar with the split ends serum and maybe the conditioner. I have enough cleansers.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@NaturallyATLPCH I have the gel. I used it twice and it was ok. Maybe I’d have to try it with a different Leave in or something.

Ladies what products can I buy for my daughter? I want to buy her a few hair products but not sure what to get. Her hair is a nice length, about BSL (natural) but she always has her hair in wigs. She agreed that she will be wearing her own hair a bit more next year. I was thinking she would look good wearing a a nice twist out but what do I need to get to achieve that style?

Was thinking one of the Mane Choice lines but happy to listen to other suggestions.

 

[Aggie]

@flyygirlll2
Yeah, I think Imma finish the rest of my Bekura stash and call it a day.

+ 1

 

[Aggie]

Girl, mine is subject to change depending if folks have a great sale lol. This is more so a “maybe” list for now.

Btw, I just purchased that Chebe Butter Pomade You know I like to research

So where did you get the chebe pomade from @flyygirlll2?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie
Yeah, and Imma hope I'm not tempted to even look at Bekura this year.

There is nothing from that line I really hafta' have. While I enjoy YAM and Whiskey-Vanilla, it's not something I must have in my stash.

There are so many products out there and products work differently for everyone. As for twist outs, does she want definition or soft hold? A frizzy twist out or defined one? It will depend on what look she wants so that's a trick question. You can achieve a twist out with any cream based product if you want soft hold, add a touch of gel for definition.

The possibilities are endless. I would say go on YouTube .

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

@NaturallyATLPCH I have the gel. I used it twice and it was ok. Maybe I’d have to try it with a different Leave in or something.

I used a dab of oil on each section. It is drying very nicely with some shine and softness.
My hair is very fine so I opted not to add a leave in so it wouldn't be too frizzy #finestrandproblems.

.

I don't think I will be tempted. I decided to move on from them because of the crazy high prices and their lotion scent my last purchase left much to be desired. So I'm good!

 

[flyygirlll2]

So where did you get the chebe pomade from @flyygirlll2?

I got it from here https://chebegold.com/products/chebe-shea-butter-pomade

Probably a defined look. I knew i needed some sort of gel, I will have a look on YT. Thanks.

Nice, thank you. Ingredients look promising. I wonder if it can be used on the scalp? It should be since the ingredients seem okay.

 

[Aggie]

Are you getting any of the Chebe powder as well @flyygirlll2?

 

[flyygirlll2]

Oh I see, thank you. I used a leave in underneath on both occasions. Probably was that combo didn’t work. I have the opposite issue. I feel like I need some type of Leave in for my hair or else it’ll be dry.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Aggie I’m not sure if it can be used on the scalp due to the Chebe powder mixed in it. Whenever I’ve seen videos or read about Chebe, they mainly talk about applying it on the hair only. I’m planning to just use it on my hair.

The powder is pricey so idk if I’ll get it. Maybe if there’s a good sale though

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Probably a defined look. I knew i needed some sort of gel, I will have a look on YT. Thanks.

I will come back and update my twist out results using this Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian gel. It's drying like a winner .
I like fuzzy hair though because my hair is fine. I almost wear a twist out fro when I do where my hair in twist outs which is 100% of the time with this cut.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I received a "sample" of Henna Oil from KB.

I transferred it into a small flip top cap instead of a spritz. So far so good. It's nice!
