that bask YAM dc is calling my name man! i feel the shakes! :lol: but i don't need conditioner bad enough to pay that price, sale or no sale
 
@mkd - in the roller setting thread I read someone used anti snap to set. She's relaxed though. ETA: I take that back. I see another poster mentioned anti-snap. She has nice curls. Kinda makes me think she's natural. Check out post #23.

I'm looking at BASK and ButtersnBars. I think I may go with ButtersnBars. I wouldn't buy any hair products but I like the variety of scented shea butters and I've been interested in the African Black Soap & Shea Butter Bodywashes for a minute now. Anyone use the scented shea butters from BnB before?
 
I got all excited when I saw that kgb was having a deal on hair products..i thought it was for aveyou or something. Its for bloom.com.


That reminds me I still have that beauty of a site groupon to use if i still can. I forgot all about it.
 
I wouldnt say that I am a Qhemet stan per se:rolleyes: but .....that was one of the few product lines that could tame my transitioning hair. The samples lasted a while and smelled ohhh soo good. I wish Aveyou or Curlmart sold their products, but then again I get why they are so exclusve. I think I would faint if they made body products. :nono: :giveup: My soul is burning over this lack of a sale and some Qhemet dinero is burning a hole in my pocket. If they dont hurry up I just might get some B.A.S.K. That Yam nectar sounds good.:lick:

I bunned my twists today.:look: Didnt even now I could do that:grin:. So that means I can get a few more days out of my protective styling.

Oh yeah, I'm in search of another vendor. I'm kicking Ayurnatural to the curb since I'm cutting out ayurveda once I give away and/or use up all of my stuff. I would like a double duty company. Hair & body. My skin is laughing at the avocado cloud so I need to get back to my sunshine. So I need them to be making body butters with shea butter.All suggestions are welcome :).

divachyk, I use ssi coco cream leave in, her jojoba serum, aphogee spray leave in and aphogee green tea reconstructor to set. I just started using very diluted lottabody too.

Hairveda
 
Well damn :wallbash:. Hairveda only sells the soaps now. I've been stocked on Hairveda so I haven't bought from them in a long time.
 
I've been wanting to treat myself to a deliciously scented hair product....i buy all my staples in Target:look:...i haven't shopped online in a while.

I'm thinking maybe the Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion and some Oyin Honey Hemp...but i need some shampoo....i think i may order some more bars from Chagrin Valley...idk
 
:wave: What's up peeps!

Nothing special on the hair agenda today. My next hair session will be tomorrow. I will steam with oils for the first time (@IDareT'sHair). I spoke to a relaxed head that does this and fully enjoys. On Wed I will shampoo/DC/roller set.

I will be using my Pura 15% coupon on some body butter. My current body butter (brown sugar) is almost 50% used up so I'll re-up on those. I feel this body butter works best on freshly showered skin. On dry skin, not so much.

Tough week ahead --
-A friend passed away last night; she was in a coma and never recovered.
-I took a semester off from teaching (adjunct instructor). School resumes Tues night so I will have to invoke some discipline with my LHCF surfing. #being.an.adult.sucks.# :giggle:

Tis all for now.
 
Hello ladies. Where did the weekend go? I lazed around for most of the day yesterday and should have done my hair. Now I will have to tackle it tonight. Yesterday Saravun messages me and told me that she made some broccoli cream. I'm so excited about it! I ordered 2 jars. My order from her also arrived Friday. I had been anticipating the restocking of cj pattern pusha but shipping was $9 for that one little item so I won't worry about it. I'm in the no buy now! I will try to hold out until Black Friday. I am about to focus on shoes. This afternoon after church I stopped by Nordstrom Rack and picked up 2 pairs of Steve Madden flats for work and a pair of Coach tennis shoes for the weekend.

If my hair wasn't so caked up with products I would skip wash day this week :(
 
Hey ladies :wave:

Haven't posted in a while. I've been hiding from yall since I didn't know whether or not I'd join in on the no buy :look: I decided to go ahead and do it bu one month at a time :yep:

I wanna try to use up and phase out:
Shea Moisture deep treatment mask (no backups)
Grapeseed oil (no backups)
Coconut oil (no backups)
Curls milkshake (2 backups)
KCCC (no backups) although every time I finish it and say I won't repurchase I always do.

I'm mostly focusing on the oils by doing a HOT 2 times a week now when I detangle. I have too much durn oil :nono:
 
Hello ladies and lurkers.


My Savemore thingy doesnt expire until June, but I might spend it this week. I used some Dew this morning, I've still got more than half of a 2 oz bottle.:lachen::lachen: Its everlasting.

@Zaz Girlie Don't be hidin'. :lol:

Some of us are doing it, some haven't started, some are not.:perplexed

We're all just kinda' making up our own rules as we go along. So, no worries. You're good.:grin:

Me, myself, I know I need to be on a strict one (for real:sad:), but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy hearing about what errbody else is doing & buying.:yep:

And I will honestly try to do it 6 months and hopefully on to BF 2012.:blush:

I will be picking up some additional Tea Bags & Coffee Beans for the Tea/Coffee Rinse Challenge.

But Definitely no Products.:nono:

@divachyk Thanks for the extra report on Oil Steaming. I will try it sometime.:yep:

ETA: Very sorry to hear about your friend.:sad:

mkd - AntiSnap is great for detangling, as E said!! :yep: Long time staple right there.

IDareT'sHair - funny how all of a sudden there's a shipping notice once Paypal gets involved... :ohwell:
That b.a.s.k. sure does ship fast! And that new leave in, hmph, I think that's a keeper. :lick:
 
Brownie518

That is a durn shame. I hate some of them only respond once PayPal is involved. That "Its Perfectly Natural" lied to the bitter end.:look:

Finally, PayPal refunded me 1/2 my money back. (Not her). PayPal. Because we could not come to an amicable agreeement.:ohwell:

So, I'm done with her.:rolleyes:

I don't think Mala (or anyone else) with any True Businesss Acumen would ever let it get that far.:ohwell:

That Lady is crazy. And she lost a customer.:ohwell:

@Brownie,how would you compare the anti snap to the apogee green tea reconstructor spray?
Click to expand...

The AntiSnap is more like a serum (in a pump bottle). Almost looks like some Hydratherma Protein leave in but slightly thinner, if you've ever seen that. It is one of the best detanglers ever, for real. Great for breakage, also. I use it on wet hair like any leave in. :yep:
The Aphogee I usually use after I'm done putting in my leave ins and have my hair wrapped. I spray it all over then seal up with oil and dry. Leaves my hair shiny, strong, and silky. It doesn't detangle for me, just improves the condition of my hair and keeps my protein right.
 
:hug: divachyk wishing you peace and comfort.

Y'all I just embarrassed my daughter, but ask if I care? Some lil fellas were standing outside the store when we walked out and one was like "Your daughter sure is pretty." Me: :look: "I'll take that as a compliment, but be careful, her mama is CRAZY. I'm not nice."
 
Looks like I missed everyone :sad:

Over the past few weeks I used up the following.

SM Moisture retention shampoo ( Have backups)
SSI Okra reconstructor (1 Backup)
Oyins hair dew ( Have backups)
Enso's flaxseed mist ( no backup)
