Funeral over. I was doing good until the very end.

Cowashed and detangled this morning with a mixture of shea rinse and cj smoothing cond then did a low side bun.

 

[destine2grow]

Hey Ladies....I see we're On & Off today.erplexed

Hopefully, we can all be "On" and catch up. I bought some Flowers for my Porch today. I'll set them out this evening.

I used a very nice Oil Blend I got from @Ltown. It has Nettle, Burdock, Horsetail, EVOO, EVCO and Avocado Oil. It's very nice.

Thanks Again Lady L.

ETA: @Ltown @chebaby @mkd I got packaging supplies today. Will Pop something in the mail to you next week.

Also @destine2grow (if you're still interested).

Thanks T u know I'm interested! That blend that Ltown hooked you up with sound good!

Ltown how do u know how much to add of each oil?

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Hello ladies! Just under the steamer. Last night I washed with CV Marshmallow/Babbasu bar (used it up, didn't realize it was a slither left lol but I will repurchase in the fall). Then I did an overnight HOT with shea butter and coconut oil (trying to use up both, only have a ton left lol) but I had never done that before and I woke up with extra extra soft hair. I rinsed in the shower and finger detangled under running water, then I detangled with Qhemet MTCG (used up not a repurchase) and honey hemp (have a corner left, will detangle with it next week) used the bone comb that I hadn't tried yet (the wide tooth detangler). I rinsed that out and now Im steaming with the BFH Pistachio...I like the routine I tried this week, I will keep this up! Gotta trim my hair tonight or tomoro. I am going to buy new hair shears this evening, hadn't replaced mine since I did my BC.
Do yall use BFH Pistachio as a DC or as a co-wash/detangler? It has great slip, I can say that!
Oh and I got my shipping notice from Jasmine's ystrdy - can't wait to smell it!
Welp, off to stalk BJ's life to see if she's updated the site lol. Be back later!

 

[destine2grow]

beautyaddict1913 I never tried that con from BFH but I do use her cons for a cowash,dc and rinse out!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Ladies...Missed Ya'll Again.

Just Moisturized with a little AV Moringa Spritz and sealed with a bit of Ltown's mixture.

Will tie up for the evening.

I guess I will check with you Diva's Later.

 

[Shay72]

BJ know she wrong on there talking about some conditioner that will be out in June . I mean I know I will most likely try it but that's all you got? Let me check fb and my e-mail. Bout to finally go do an oil rinse, tea rinse, then cowash. Gotta exercise at some point too.

For my Sister Komaza Users: Who has used & liked (or disliked) Komaza Vitamin Reign? I'm about to pull that out for my daily spritz.

Any Quick Reviews? Thanks

I initially liked this but realized it wasn't as moisturizing as I needed it to be so I stopped buying it. The same happened with Claudie's braid spray but when I paired it with the Dew then I was good to go. So I still use it. Maybe I should revisit Vitamin Reign. I need to look at the ingredients.

 

[destine2grow]

Hey ladies! Its been quite in here. I went swimming today and need to shampoo my hair. I might dc too! I am going to use Elucence clarifying shampoo and I will dc with BFH shea mando tea deep mask, followed my elucence mb as my LI. I need to do an HOT so I guess I will do that too.

What u ladies doing tonight?

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Hello ladies, where are u guys this weekend? I just moisturized and sealed with OHHB and BRBC...I only have a corner of OHHB left and I look forward to using it up next week. I LOVE using stuff up - makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing by having 300 products on deck lol - after all I'm using them lol! I keep forgetting to massage my scalp with my JBCO mix. I need to get back on it this week! I opened my shine and define today to decide if I will try to use it up next week and it was watery and separated...I had to stir it with my fingers! I just got it in March - that product will definitely be dismissed!

My Jasmine's came today! Yaay! We happen to live in the same city so it came rather quickly! Everything smelled amazing! The Wild Strawberry smells like that old school strawberry car freshener spray - I was hoping it would, I used to beg my mom to buy that stuff for her car when I was little lol. The Pink Sugar Kisses smells kinda like the perfume I love but its not identical - I like it tho! The Hello Sugar smells great - I see why yall are crazy about it! Even though I haven't tried the actual products yet I am already trying to plan the fragrances that I will try next lol. What is the smell that chebaby was saying smells like curl junkie? Because the curl junkie curl cream is my FAVE scent ever the product just failed me!

I didn't leave the house at all today. Been cleaning up most of the day. My relatives from Cali are flying in next weekend so I'm trying to get things together for them. I will go to the bss for the shears tomoro and cut these nasty ends!

 

[beautyaddict1913]

beautyaddict1913, i get my tea from vitacost nothing special but they are cheaper and easier than getting the herbs putting it in bags, already done.

 

[Shay72]

I will be doing my twists on dry hair. Any suggestions on what to use? I have so many products I don't even know where to begin . I hope to leave them in for 2 weeks. I will probably do a twistout for a few days too.

@IDareT'sHair, thanks!!!

it is so hot outside. I can't believe its this hot already. This summer is going to be absurd.

mkd - I was saying this very thing today!! It was terrible. It wasn't even that hot, about 86, but the humidity could choke you. I hate the summer!!!

beautyaddict1913 - I got my Jasmine's today! As soon as I smelled the Wild Strawberry, I thought of the car trees!!! Thats the only car tree I used to get!! It smells good, though. The Berries & Cream and the Cherry Pineapple are both !!! I got body wash and shea butter in both. I gave the Tahitian Petals to my mother. It smells just like some perfume but we can't remember the name. It doesn't smell bad, just not for me. I like these juicy, fruity scents right now.

 

[La Colocha]

Hey ladies, checking in. Decided to do my hair tomorrow after i get off work. I have to work in the morning for a bit. Didn't do anything but rest today. Still haven't received my jasmines yet.

 

[Ese88]

just finished moisturising with the dew. I have realized that with my hair type, no matter how good a product is i have to first spray with water

 

[Shay72]

I seem content with making that one order from Enso. We will see if I choose to order anything else. I definitely do not plan to order from Afroveda or Komaza. I may take a look at CurlMart since they have so many brands now. Oh yeah I ordered from Sarenzo Beads but that was for hair accessories.

I finished a Komaza Moja Conditioner. I have quite a few back ups. I also finished a Komaza Moku Pre Shampoo Treatment. I have 1 back up.

 

[destine2grow]

Morning Hair Divas! I didnt get around to doing my hair last night. All I did was do an HOT and I went to bed. I will finish it today.

I never tried Komaza... none of her products jump out at me as of yet. I take that back I do want to try her dc!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Morning Ladies....

I'll pulled my HTN out (I Know). I just spritzed with the Follicle Booster and moisturized with Protein L-I.

I sealed with Ltown's Oil Blend. (I have a corner of both HTN's and want to finish them up). I won't be opening any HTN until Fall.

I still haven't purchased anything.erplexed I want to get more Hibiscus, but I won't.

I agree about the Wild Strawberry. It is Ol' Skool. But nice & summery.

@La Colocha

I still haven't gotten my Jasmine order either. Maybe Tuesday.

Sorry for the late review, just getting in from cupcaking...

This is one of my favorites. However, I don't think it's really moisturizing. For some reason it makes my hair feel stonger...but not softer.

I agree. For it to be more moisturizing I added some glycerin that's why it's not a repurchase for me.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Thanks Ladies for your Review on Vitamin Reign @bronzebomb @curlyhersheygirl @Shay72 @Ese88. I had it on the Exchange Forum once, but it never went.

@Shay72 I would like a brief review of the newly reformulated SSI Fortifying if you don't mind? I bought a 16 ounce Jar, so I hope it's good.

Oh, So, Why, Do I have a Cart full of Oyin AfterBath Oil & Honey Washes Foolin' with @redecouvert ?

(She's such a badddddd influence)

Yep maybe tuesday. Hey ladies, just got off work and i am tired. Will not do my trim this weekend because i have to go in early tomorrow. So much for getting stuff done. Going to sleep and will start my hair when i get up.

 

[chebaby]

hello everyone
i havent been on all weekend so i need to go back and catch up on ready what crazy stuff yall were talking about lol.
im about to hook up this steamer so i can get started on my hair. its hot as hayel here so i know its going to dry by tomorrow.

yesterday my wash and go was beautiful. i used something i should have never strayed from: aveda be curly. all day hair even with all the humidity.

SSI's Fortifying Mask
It is thick. It doesn't look that thick in the jar to me but it passed my turn over test. When I turned over the jar nothing moved. I loved this because that was one of my issues with the previous formula. Spread easily. A little bit goes a long way. I used it overnight and there were no drippies. That was an issue before too. When I rinsed it out the next morning my hair felt strong and a little dry but once I cowashed with a moisturizing conditioner it was fine. I'm not sure if that would be an issue for anyone else because they may not leave it in as long as I did. Next time I use it I will use it with steam to see how that works. Overall I like it and right now it is a keeper.

 

[chebaby]

ok i am in love with my huetiful steamer. i used it with claudies protein conditioner and after steaming i let it cool off for a few minutes and then rinsed. at first i was a little afraid because my hair felt too soft but after rinsing with cool water my hair felt amazing. and when i stepped out the shower my hair was nice and plumped.
i then braided my hair with curl junkie hibiscus and banana honey butta leave in and my shea mix.
i could not believe how smooth my hair looked.
i really dont care about smooth hair but i took notice. i am really impressed with the huetiful steamer.

Shay72 my hair feels that way with the old formula. I can't wait to try the new formula. Thanks for the review!
