What else are you using tonight?

My hair feels sooooo soft. I don't know if it's the SSI Marshmallow or a combination of things I did yesterday.:grin:

I'm glad it's not feeling 'dry' especially after Henna'ing.:yep:

besides my shampoo and my shea mix everything ill be using is jasmines. the a&s to condition and the nourishing as a leave in. next week ill be back to the shea rinse as a leave in.

im glad your hair is soft and doing great. i love healthy hair:lick:
 
I just put a set of two-strand twists in my head. I washed w/ Giovanni 50:50 shampoo and conditioned with SSI Okra. I used Giovanni Direct as a leave-in w/ Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer on top. I smoothed some castor oil on my ends when I was done.

I haven't done twists since 2007. Gonna see how this works out as the week goes on. I like the way they've come out so far. If they hold up nicely and I don't notice any bad tangling/matting issues, then I will do them more often.
 
ok jasmines reconstructor was just ok for me. it was hard to rinse out because it was very slippy. i didnt have my aphogee with me so i had to shampoo with cd purifying shampoo. the a&s didnt have much slip but was very moisturizing. my hair looked great when i rinsed. i used the nourishing conditioner as a leave in and THAT conditioner has a ton of slip. didnt finish it like i thought i would. my hair is now braided and im waiting for it to dry.

Where are you now with your Hair? I have HIH today.:look:

I really need to cut that out.:blush: I just applied a wee bit more Moisture.

Will tie up now.:perplexed

just waiting for it to dry now. i have a feeling its going to take longer than usual because the nourishing is a tiny bit heavier than what i usually use for a leave in.
that a&s was:lick: though. i expected it to have more slip but i detangle under the running water so i dont need that much slip. i like that most of jasmines conditioners have protein. the a&s has pathenol, silk amino acids and wheat protein:lick:
 
Hey ladies back from Bronner hair exhibition:nono:

Charz and I went had great lunch first then walked over to the convention center. It sucked to the 10th power, the set up were the worst i ever seen, most of the vendors had things we get in the bss, bigen, bb products, Mac. For the professional they had curling irons and other accessories. There was a Dudley stand, we went up ask for drc28 they said $33, Charz and I was excited well :nono: the salesperson ask if we had license:sad: since we didn't they tried to explained to us that the protein in drc is so strong they couldn't sell it to us. Well we were PISS but walked away respectful because they were older. There was absolutely nothing but weave, folks doing relaxers, fake ugly jewelry. mixed chicks stand had a situation there. Charz has a story about that. That it bumed about it never again.

Can't wait to hear how it turns out.:grin:

You usually judge the overall successfulness next day right?

Glad you like the A&S. Brownie & I were tearing that up!:lick:

I'll be using that exclusively this Summer (especially after these last Hauls).

yea i judge it based on how it feels once it dries and how long the braid out lasts.
even if it doesnt turn out well ill blame it on using the nourishing as a leave in lol. because as a conditioner its great and i like the a&s so it would have to be the change up on the leave in.

Ltown, thanx for the review on the show. im mad it sucked for you guys and that they didnt sale you the dudleys conditioner. i dont know why stylists think that only they can do certain things.
 
@Ltown Girl, that's upsetting. :rolleyes:

I guess when/if I decide to ever get it, I'll check Amazon and/or e-bay. BeautyOfNewYork and Bluebeez has it as well (and they ain't askin' for no license).:look:

ETA: And It Ain't No $33.00 Eitha':rolleyes:

Che, did you use the avocado silk with heat? I put it on after i detangle and use it with heat. When i first put it on its like a thick cream but after the dryer it melts my hair and has a lot of slip, love it.
 
I'm sorry about your experience, Ltown and Charz. Doesn't it kinda burn you up when you know just as much about hair (probably more) than a licensed stylist, yet they imply to you that you don't know how to use something as simple as a protein conditioner?

no i didnt use heat. but i still have a new heat cap ive yet to use so maybe next time.
i do plan on using the a&s next week too. i really like it. but i need to get more protein in so ill probably use emergencee before it or after it after i detangle, not sure yet.
 
La Colocha said:
Yeah i need to do that, i saw a yt video where a girl does this with her hair and body products and uses things up pretty quickly. I just like to open new stuff, but i have to break that.

La Colocha

Girl, if I can break that horrible Habit I know You Can!:grin: The Lightbulb finally went off and I got it.

I limit myself to number of 'same' types of things I have open at the same time.

Yeah...It's great. I've only used it w/Steam, but I bet under the Dryer or Heat Cap would really be nice too.:grin:
 
I have my reggie worked out for next week already, gotta get that trim in no matter what, almost 2 months behind.

Going to moisturize up until wendsday with shea rinse and seal with almond glaze.

Will cowash wendsday with organix cherry blossom and dc with the mhc hair mask, if i use these for the next 2 or 3 weeks these should be done.

Friday wash,condition,detanlge, dc with what i did this week and put my hair in braids and trim.

hello ladies
just waking up:look:
im about to pre poo for about an hour. im being lazy. but im starving. i might go out to get something to eat with a plastic cap on my head lmao.

wait, i think im out of plastic caps:ohwell:
Click to expand...

I'm bout to stop buying plastic caps because mine get all stretched out from my hair and I don't feel like it is trapping anything. I have a million hydracaps and instead of donating all these grocery bags I got here I will be using them on my head :yep:.
 
Hey, ya'll (now that everyone is gone:perplexed). I've been watching the NBA playoffs today.
So, I used the Jasmine's Hibiscus conditioner. I think this will be a keeper. :yep: I'll be using it again next wash to be sure. I'll let ya'll know the final verdict.

mkd - I love that Sweet Ambrosia!!! :lick: Thank you so much!! *sigh* I'll have to watch out for them flash sales now :look:
 
chebaby, IDareT'sHair, what really messed up is we paid $20 to go to the show to support it and if they didn't want non stylist don't allow them to come. All hair products have directions so its not special to stylists we all can read, i can see if it was some special chemical relaxer, and heck even that comes with direction.

Its protein conditioner, aphogee, nexus have the hardest protin and sale to the public:grin: the vendors were older and they complained about asian stealing their product selling in stores. All this extra rambling and we couldn't get anything. I won't pay $60 for hair product, nexus and aphogee and many other proteins conditioner works.

I'm so over being a product junkie! That other thread about purchasing KimmayTube's product is a little unsettling...Now all of a sudden she is coming up with her own line? Didn't she use other lines to get her to that length?

and...

I would have been a little ticked off if I had gone to the BB show and they did not sell me the DRC-28 protein. I think Charz really wanted it.

If it's not changing the ingredients or going up on the price or spoilage or inconsistant formulas, it's Vendors getting on here and going off on their clients.

There are 4 lines (that I use) that I have never heard about poor customer service or product problems: Oyin, Qhemet, Komaza and HairVeda. hmph, seems like I have my staples.

LOL Rant over...
