What happens to your strands when you put the shea butter on them? Even whipped? Because today I put my whipped blend of the SB and mango butter that I made myself and it was heavenly going on.

As @Shay72 stated in her reply, it just sits on my hair. It does not absorb, no matter how little I use. If I use it on my ends, it has to be a very tiny amount and with some butter mixtures that can be hit or miss as far as absorption.
The last thing I need are greasy pillow cases with acne prone skin :lachen:.

I don’t mind if it doesn’t absorb. The point for me is to keep moisture in. It’s like a layer of fat or blubber for my hair.

I had to give up on the loc method when I noticed that I was leaving grease stains on my chair at work. I usually have one of those low back chairs but now I have one of those tall back leather chairs. I don't share an office or anything but still.....When I changed offices one of the staff wanted my old chair. I was like naw take the one in my new office and I will take this old one with me :look:.

I have come to the conclusion that my fine strands cannot deal with Shea butter or heavy butters :eek:. I will have to use them very, very sparingly, like, on my ends.
My hair responds better to cream based moisturizers. I do not even need to seal with an oil or oil based product. Now I see why the LOC method does not apply to fine strand curlies. Still learning this head. :afro:

@NaturallyATLPCH I can use them but they must be really whipped, if not it will just sit on my hair. I also incorporate some form of protein weekly into my regimen to keep my hair happy. I have liquid protein LI's, R/Os and DC's that I rotate weekly and since doing that a few years back my hair has thrived.
 
My Bulk-A came today. I haven't gotten them out of my box yet tho. Will get them out in a few. Hope there is no missing items, no spillage etc....

I also did another Bulk-A Cart for some more scents. Lemme see how these smell before I hit PayNah.

I was upset Sarenzo went up on their Size and Price of the Bod.y Fros.tings so I may make my own (for Spring/Summa) if I can find the right scents and the right consistency.

My B&BWs Candle came today. I thought I was getting x3 but they only sent & charged me for x1.:angry2:

@IDareT'sHair

Please let me know how you like the scents from Bulk-A. I really need to go over there and prepare a cart soon. Their shipping cost is way better than newdirectionsaromatics - plus if you order any amount less than $100, you are charged some ridiculous administrative fee of $20 automatically. So I always wait until I need at least that much in products before I purchase there.

Also I got my candles yesterday as well and the winter one smells awesome. I also like the Myrrh one a lot. The Pumpkin Pecan Waffle is delicious as well.
 
My B&BWs Candles came today and One of them: "White Woods" was totally broken inside the sleeve. I will take that back tomorrow.:angry2:
They charged me $18.00 plus shipping for:
Balsam
White Woods
Sweater Weather

Interesting because they were $10.00 but they charged me $7.00 a piece for Sweater Weather and White Woods and $4 bucks for Balsam? Not sure how they came up with the prices.

Whoa! :shocked:. Shipping for my 5 candles was only $5.99. How'd that happen to you?

Not Shipping. The Price. I paid $7 each for Sweater Weather and White Woods and $4 for Balsam.

They are sending me out a Replacement for White Woods.:up: That's good, because I had it in the box ready to take into the store tomorrow.

By them sending it to me will keep me from buying anything else, although I'd love to have another Peppermint.

I think those were cheaper. I was looking for those scents and they were OOS. The Balsam was $6 when I added it to my cart, but then it was sold out minutes after adding.

Also, did you use a coupon?

I should have given winter a second chance. There is a note I don’t like in it, but it has a nice clean scent. Maybe I can still catch it.

@Saludable84
I took Winter back and got Flannel instead which I like much better.:look:

Winter didn't have a very strong throw this year (at least mine didn't) and I've had Winter when they use to do H.ome Fr.agrance Oils and Wall.flowers, mine smelled nothing like I remember it smelling.

But something was off this year with the Winter I had (maybe I just got a bad one?):perplexed:

It’s has a weird note. I can’t describe it. Like, if use it, but not for long. I also felt it as citrus that I was smelling, but can’t name it. I put it down the first time and the second time, DH said he wasn’t crazy about it.

Flannel smells delicious :look: I will leave it at that.

I did have a Coup Code. I can't remember if it was %20 or $10 off $30 but I did use some kind of Coup Code?

It said Balsam was OOS when I had it in my Cart so I thought it wasn't coming, but I did end up getting it.

Too bad "White Woods" was completely shattered and un-salvageable (cause I would have loved to have had x2).:shhh:

Some retailers hide the coupon and will just sent you the receipt with the final cost.

When I got to the store, balsam was $14.50 so I left it, but I really wanted it.
 
@Saludable84
I had Winter twice and took it back twice.:laugh: The first time I took it back because I didn't care for it upon Cold Sniff. So I returned it unused.

Like a Dummy, bought it again.o_O

And ended up taking it back again.:spinning:

The second time on Tuesday. I burned it Monday and felt the throw was off, so I took it back after burning it about 30 minutes and exchanged it for - Winter Sage (which smells like a Winter version of Eucalyptus & Mint) and I like it.

Actually @IDareT'sHair, if you have a candle warmer, you can cut up the candle and use the pieces like tarts and still get use out of some if not all of it. That's what I did when I received a broken candle. I don't like throwing away money like that.
 
Went back in to B&BW and got some more candles. I got 1 of each but 10 in total for $10 each:

Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus Spearmint
Flannel
Cactus Blossom
Fresh Balsam
Suntan
Lavender Marshmallow
Frosted Cupcakes
Rose Quartz
Onyx

I had a 20% off coupon that I used as well and saved an additional $20.00. This was a good day :yep:.
