Loved this when I was relaxed. It was a really good treatment.

@Saludable84
So did I.

Curious to see how it will work Natural.

I’ve been using my homemade stuff for some months now, I totally forgot about GM. I should pull it out @IDareT'sHair try it with SB.

They restocked the lavender collection!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I missed the CRN Lavender Collection

@rileypak
What was the Deal? $50.00 ?

 

[rileypak]

@IDareT'sHair
They restocked! Yes it was all the products in the collection (cleanser, deep conditioner, leave in, spritz, gel, edge glaze)

 

[Aggie]

I forgot to post that I used up a bottle of Cetaphil Baby shampoo. I liked this a lot but using up others before I will need to restock.

@rileypak
So, you got it?

@IDareT'sHair

Guess what, my wigs are here, the one we bought. It's cute but I will have to fluff it a little before I wear it. I pretty much do that to just about all the wigs I buy anyway so that's not a problem. I always customize them to suit my face.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie

Mine just shipped.

When you say 'Fluff' what exactly do you mean?

Is that because it was packed which flattened it?

Sure did

Somewhat. You will have to pick the roots of it to raise the front and top of the wig. Do not pull the pick all the way through the wig, this would only create an afro look and you don't want that. Maintain the curls at the top as best you can - do not comb, brush or pick all the way through the wig. You can however, use your fingers to run back and forth over the top and you can also pull some of the curls with your fingers to separate them. Hope this helps.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Sure did

@rileypak
I like the Silken Shake.

Picked this up last BF.

 

[Aggie]

@IDareT'sHair

colouredBeautiful on YouTube has a few videos demonstrating how to style short curly wigs. I love her videos.

I haven't purchased this one yet but I'm eyeing it as my next wig purchase:



No wait! I bought that one already I forgot

@Aggie
Do you think you'll have to Cut it any? The one we got alike?

 

[Aggie]

@Aggie

I probably won't at first but as the wig gets older, sure I most likely will cut it. Right now, I don't need to.

 

[Aggie]

That FS1B/33 color should be great in the Outre Big Beautiful Hair 4a and 4c styles. I think I need to prepare a cart but not pulling the trigger just yet though.

Happy Sunday ladies!
School has started back so everything is a blur lol...
Twists are out. I took them out last week and have been in my stash, mainly using APB but I did a much needed protein treatment last weekend. My hair needed it, it was super dry.

I am going to put the twists back in next month because I want a nice updo to wear with my tiara to celebrate my 40th .

I am trying to figure out what to DC with today for wash day.

 

[Shay72]

So, Food Lion didn't have V05 (tons of Suave but no V05) but I'm set with on the ground locations for Vo5. I feel like Dollar General may have it too I just haven't stopped in there to check yet. Also I want to buy the strengthening V05 online since I haven't been able to find it on the ground. Then I will have an everyday, clarifier, and strengthening conditioner from one line. I'll continue to shampoo with black soap. My dc's, oils, and treatments will be from the black owned shops. I am so happy with my hair now. I'm starting to love my hair like when I first went natural. The only thing I think I'm missing is steaming with dc and oil which I will get back to eventually. I have cut my routine down so short I need to get myself ready to sit up under that steamer.

 

[Shay72]

Dollar Tree and Family Dollar have V05. I'll be at Food Lion tomorrow so I will check there too. I also decided to buy Softee Indian Hemp hair grease when I was in Family Dollar. We'll see how Shay Shay reacts. I was gonna buy some Blue Magic but the jar is huge so I decided to try something small first. And if it works, good.

I'm also thinking Blue Magic might be too thick for my fine hair. Although I only use grease on my scalp, edges, and ends I don't need it heavy. The Design Essentials that my mom gave me which I am using now and the Softee seem to be the same consistency. So I think that might be best.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Shay72
HV's Almond Glaze is still good. Also, SSI's Coriander & Fig.

APB and NG also has some good Grease & Pomades.

@IDareT'sHair Hey lady hey!

 

[Shay72]

@Aggie- I see you! Beautiful!!

I am going to move more towards on the ground products. I will continue to order SSI and APB but that maybe it. My local target has a lot of product lines.

Yes, I saw Koils by Nature at Target but no V05 .

 

[Aggie]

Yes, I saw Koils by Nature at Target but no V05 .

Some V05 conditioners seem to be missing from the shelves here as well. I remember I could go in the food stores and get it, now not so much. Only a handful of suppliers are carrying them now.

 

[BrownBetty]

Yes, I saw Koils by Nature at Target but no V05 .

Did V05 go out of business? It never worked for my hair so I stopped even looking for it. Good luck in your search.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

The only VO5 I've been buying consistently is the Kiwi & Lime Sham.poo & Conditioner.

I use the 'Poo for my Wigs and the Conditioner to Clarify my Hair.

I am still picking that one up at the Grocery. Not sure if they are well stocked on 'others'?

I will look next time I go.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Morning Ladies!

Please make it a Great Week.

@Aggie
Excited to get this!
