Oh I meant to tell yall! Yesterday while in Ulta I decided to test the staff :look: I had pulled my twistout up into a ponytail and the worker asked if I needed help finding anything. I asked if she had anything besides Deva Curl and Hair Rules for curly hair. She goes back to the salon area and brings black a black worker, pointed at me and said "she wants to know if we have anything for...curly hair?" Me: *side eye* The black girl, extra yaky roots, indian remy in the back and funeral makeup, takes me STRAIGHT to Mizani and KeraCare. DD was standing back with the original sales associate and said, "I can look at my mom's face and tell she doesnt like that stuff. She makes her own products and when she doesnt, she's very picky." :lol: Not knocking either brand, just saying there's more to offer. I know not to ask anyone there for help and if funeral face is doing hair, I DAMN sho aint gettin no hair services done.

This right here kills me. Why she had to go get someone black? Then the pause before curly. Really some of them have a hard time saying our hair is curly. Some of us can't even say it. I was struggling with it too until I became fully natural and I realized that is the best way to describe my hair--curly. Sometimes I say coily but only folks on hair boards & you tube use that term.

@Eisani @Shay72 Hmp.:rolleyes: This right here kills me!:rolleyes:
 
I finished a Curl Refresh sample, Sea Buckthorn & Horsetail Moisture Mask sample, Sea Buckthorn & Horsetail Daily Conditioner sample, and Coco Passionfruit Nectar. The only repurchase is Curl Refresh.

I've been meaning to tell ya'll that the Olay Pro-X is a hit. If you don't want to drop the cash for the Clarisonic you might want to try this. I got it shipped from Amazon for $29. I saw it in Target for $32. You can get replacement brushes from Target. I use my natural cleansers with it not what came with it. I gave that away :look:. It keeps my face looking smooth, clean, and bright. I tend to get whiteheads on my nose and chin and this keeps them at bay. I :love: it. I finally ordered the facial attachment for the Huetiful steamer too. I will let ya'll know about that one once I try it a few times.
 
Eisani.......bump them and the horse they rode in on. I can't with the people

I'm chilling with the man. Its a rainy day in the city. My eldest is making humingbird cake and I'll throw some cornish hens and roast some potatoes in the oven. Its a lazy Sunday. I'm not even doing my hair today.

IDareT'sHair - how you doing darlin' I'm thinking of getting some Claudine's but I haven't a clue. I'm all on a growth kick for the next six months so what does Ms. C have going on?
 
Hey ladies, enjoy your day. I have a tummy ache for no apparent reason. It's annoying and needs to go away. Today was wash my hair day. Ugh.
 
Shay72 I don't like the Pro-X. I never tried the Clarisonic so I've nothing to compare, but the Pro-X doesn't work hard enough. I won't be plopping any money down for the Clarisonic though. I went back to my de-gunking regimen (aha/bha/green clay mask/rice&apricot scrub)
 
Minty Sounds Good Girl. I'm on a Growth Kick too for the next 6 (as always) -- so we'll hafta' compare notes.:grin:

She has the Temple Balm Revitalizer, the Growth Exlir, the Ends Insurance, Quinoa and some others are for growth.:yep:

The Reconstructor, the Fortifying and the Protein Conditioner as well.

It's worth checking out. You should also contact her and briefly explain your issues.

She does great consultations and she'll make up a little something extra.:grin:
 
Hello Diva's!

It's been raining weekend here, off/on. I went to see the movie Help, good movie, for both black/white people.

I'm co-washing with Jasmine shea rinse, dc with jasmine hibiscus and wdt, will use infusion23 and something else, then use Enso, yes I said Enso:look::lachen: aloe lotion, and serum. I don't like how my hair feels with cowash it maybe the shea, but its reduce the dryness that i had so i got to figure this one out.
 
@Ltown I just came back from seeing that Movie too. (Too bad we couldna' went together:lol:).

I love how my hair feels cowashing. You just hafta' find the right Conditioner or...maybe a Conditioning-Cleanser.:ohwell:

Hopefully Moist 24/7 will give you the feel you are looking for.

Yeah, I love Enso too.:look:....:lol:
 
Minty
I totally understand. For some the Pro-X might not be enough. I'm one of those that always does too much :look: so I wanted something not as powerful. Back in the day I tore my face up with the Buff Puff :lachen:.

Ltown IDareT'sHair
I've been back and forth on reading the book. I think I will. I'm not one to go to the movies. I wait for the dvd to come out. By then I will have read the book to help me decide.
 
Good afternoon ladies! Glad to see ur lights on! This Sunday is flying by! I have been greasing my scalp with Mixed Greens and moisturizing my braids under this weave with Komaza hair cream - trying to use it up! I finally figured out that my hair only likes butter based creams like Komaza and KBB on dry hair - and the instructions say USE ON DRY HAIR - smh lol! So those arent very useful for me because I try to use leave ins that keep my hair moisturized forever where I dont have to moisturize nightly - but it doesnt hurt - using up stuff is working out in my favor - my hair is growing!

This past Thursday made a week with this weave...I believe I will be taking it down sometime in the earlier part of this week. If its not too funky I wont wash it and will rock the braid out til the weekend...

Now I am wanting to purchase a new blowdryer and some Caruso Steam rollers...smh the quest to acquire stuff is neverending!

@beautyaddict1913 The Karady Tea Hair Mist is wonderful for Herbal intensity. The Hydrasilicia (IMO) is a cutesy spritz. Something to spritz with just because you want to spritz. :lol:
Click to expand...

lol...:lachen:this sounds totally accurate! That stuff smells so good and it was so awesome pulling it out of the fridge and spritzing that cool mist on my hair during the earlier part of the summer! I cant wait to try the karkady mist! Cmon here Qhemet - u been talking bout reformulating for years!
 
Hey divas :wave: I've been busy all day,but finally got around to my hair and just finished twisting up. I whipped up some butters (for the 1st time) and used that on my twist. I really like how my twist feel, but I may have to tweek the ingredients next time because I think I added a little too much oil.
 
So...Here's what I'm waiting on:

Camille Rose
Tiiva Naturals
Enso Naturals:look:
Jamaican Oils (Jojoba Oil)
Marie Dean Moisturizer Sample Pack
Claudie
Hairitage Hydrations
 
Is Pura having a sale? The mango tea scalp butter, murmurmu butter milk, and sapote lotion sounds yum! I cant wait for ur Camille Rose reviews - I like the labels!
 
beautyaddict1913

Brownie518 Gave Camille Rose pretty good reviews. I have 3 Conditioners. The SOYlicious, the Janzyan and the Seaweed Algae DC'ing Mask.

I also have the oil and I tried a little last night and it was very light (and non offensive). So, I did another quick haul.:look:

And Yes, PuraNaturals is having a Sale this week.:yep:
 
I decided to wash my hair anyway in hopes that would make me feel better. So far that theory is debatable. Today I mixed up a bunch of this and that to get rid of it. Finished up MoraccanOil Brand Mask. Like this but too expensive to repurchase.

I love my steamer but some days I feel that it pumps majority of the steam to the front of the hood, thereby neglecting the back and nape of my hair. I try to hold my head in such a way that the steam hits those areas but it's uncomfy for me. Anyone else with this issue?
 
Hey yall. I meant to tell yall yesterday that even after my trim, I'm just past WL :yay: Havent decided what to do yet, if I just want to maintain or let it grow wild :lol:
 
@divachyk That's the exact one I have too.:grin:

Is the dome low enough? I had to adjust the height to make sure it was hitting all the pertinent places.:lick:

I keep mine closed.
 
IDareT'sHair - I've lowered and raised. Dunno what's the trick. I've even called LCL and they suggest I steam without both buttons on and the vents open. Tried that, um didn't work. So to solve the issue, I just hold my head down, chin to chest. Annoying but that's the only way to get it to work. I think my steamer is suspect because it leaks from the base of the canister with the slightest bump. LCL says that's normal. *shrug*
