Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

I finished my grapeseed oil. No back up but definitely a repurchase. I also finished a jar of Shea Moisture's Anti Breakage Masque. I have at least 1 back up for that.
 
Hi Ladies :)

I almost done with a jar of KeraPro restorative and the matching shampoo, but I have more where those came from :look:, Sally only puts those on sale maybe 1-2 times a year..gotta get it in.

I've been doing pretty good on a low/no-buy but I started out today on the hunt for a non-sulfate shampoo I could buy locally and got distracted :lol: First of all, why is it so hard to find Creme of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo. I broke down and went to the BSS (hated it) and could not believe that one of the ladies working there (black woman) had never heard of Argan oil (:spinning:). I also asked her about good shampoos and she recommended Pantene or Dark 'n Lovely :ohwell: I left with Queen Helene's Garlic Shampoo.. not what I came for but it has a simple formula with garlic high on the list and it's cheap, maybe it'll be useful deep into a relaxer stretch to combat shedding. Guess I'll have to order the CON Argan Oil 'poo online *sigh*.

I made it to Ulta eventually and was pleasantly surprised, I've been sleepin on their clearance items.

I picked up the 25 oz Tigi Catwalk Honey & Oatmeal Shampoo for damaged hair - the ingredients look very promising and it was $9.99.

I also scored 16oz Mario Badescu Glycolic Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion (4% glyc. acid) for $16. That should last me a good while and I'm trying to get serious about treating my acne scars/dark marks.
 
Quite offended. Still haven't received my body butter from KBN! natura87 I will be emailing her yet again. The way she was talking, I'd receive my butter by the end of the week. Yeah ok, totally wasn't the case.
 
So 5/19 is the first National Natural Hair Meetup Day and Koils by Nature will be hosting an event. Right now I'm hoping someone else in the DMV will hold an event so I will have a choice but we shall see. They will be having them all over the country so here is the website. www.nnhmd.com.

I will be in ATL 3/29-4/1 to visit a friend. My first time ever. Any suggestions on places I have to go?

Thanks choctaw!
 
Mernin' Ladies:wave:

Just massaged in some Janky-Stanky Home-made Coffee Oil.:lol:

@Shay72 what's the status? Are you still infusin' your blend?

Mine is skrong right now, maybe because I did the crock pot thing. I can't imagine how SKRONG it would be with Crock Pot + 2 weeks.:blush:
 
@Shay72

It had solidifed this a.m. But I ran hot water over one of the bottles and applied. I know exactly what to do next time.:look:

I will be using that Oil as a pre-poo as Choctaw suggested. It's a bit too Skrong to be wearing out in public.:lol:

Have you gotten all your Teas yet? I wanted some Marshmallow Root, but I think I may just work with what I got.:ohwell:

Horsetail
Nettle
Burdock Root
Moringa
Saw Palmetto
Rosemary
Blue Malva *flowers*
Hibiscus *flowers*
Calendua *flowers*
Roobis
Curly's Ulitmate Blend from @curlyhersheygirl

Should last me through Summer.
 
IDareT'sHair
I think they're sitting over at the condo office because I got a package notice. We shall see. I hope to be tea spritzing and steaming by Wednesday. Oh yeah I will be using my tea spritzes and coffee/tea spritzes under my dc's too.
 
Shay72 Njoy lives in Atlanta. Think Janet' lives there also. I only visit there but last time I visited, it was pre-LHCF. I will be reaching out to them when I travel there later in the year. As for food, we always go to Gladys Knight Chicken & Waffle if you like soul food. We get the fried chicken.
 
SM has new products, anyone see? evoo and moringa shampoo and conditioner, a gel, styling custard, and hair butter. and honey and black seed keratin wrap mousse and flat iron spray.
 
I want some oils from Darcy's or something. Hell, even the Trigga :lol:. Not like I need any, just got some in the mail with my Camden Grey shipment.

Cowashed w/Too Shea! and dc'd w/Olive You. Airdrying in a pony, but may do some chunky twists and leave em in for a couple days. Lemme go peek at Darcy's. I can't add nothing to my MD cart for some reason :ohwell:
 
@Eisani

Hey Ms. E! Girl, me too. I want something, but I want it to be something I want.:lol: (if that makes sense):look:

I didn't see the SM Moringa Conditioner on line. But they have alot of 'new' Shampoo Bars.

I didn't even know SM had Shampoo Bars.
 
Hey ladies! I think imma make a coffee oil, follow Shay72 method. I got cocoasta, and I got some of those coffee cups u use in the machine. I ain't gotta a machine so instead of buying an oil, I'll make.

Also Shay72 - do u use a protein powder for ur shakes?

Eisani - I may hit up Sage next week. Been wanting some DB oils & flat rate shipping sounds good to me.

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
 
Don't need any DB Oils. I got some good ones a while back

Cherry x2
Plum x2
Peach x2
Watermelon x2
Pumpkin Exlir x2

So I'm set with those.

And I have 2 SM Exlirs that also smells amazing.:lick:
 
@Golden75
Yes, I use Market Pantry (Target brand) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. I picked it based on this video on youtube describing the best way to choose a protein powder. It does have sucralose which she did not recommend but it meets all of the other requirements so I feel pretty good. I make it with soy, almond, or coconut milk depending on what I have. I also throw some fruit in there which is usually grapes (don't sleep) or, strawberries, or banana.


Her recommendations:
  • 5 g or less of sugar per serving
  • no artificial sugar like sucralose or aspartme but sweetened with truvia or stevia
  • whey protein, whey protein isolate, or combo of both (what I have has both)
  • 14-25 g of protein per serving
She likes Designer's Whey and Jay Robb protein powders.

Finished SSI's Okra Reconstructor. I have a few back ups.

IDareT'sHair, I didn't know you like SSI Okra. I stocked up on that on the last sale. I purchased SSI Honey and Avocado conditioners this sale (Golden75). I have my WEN ginger pumpkin pulled out and sitting on the counter. It's screaming, exchange forum.

My hair was a dry and breaking mess from DM Miracurl so to restore moisture I o/n DC with AOWC before starting my regi.

Today I:
Shampooed with CON Argan
Protein with Ion Effective
Steaming with Purabody Smoothie

First time using the smoothie. My hair felt soft upon applying but I dang near used up the entire little container. I seriously only have about 2 scoops left in that container.

I will roller set later tonight. I will report back on how I like the smoothie.
 
divachyk

Yes, I really like Okra. The only reason I didn't get it, is because I have like 40 reconstructors and I want to start using some of those.

So, I didn't re-up on Okra for now.:sad:

The next ones Imma put in rotation are:

Claudie
MHC Honey & Horsetail Reconstructor
Jasmine's Rebuilder
 
IDareT'sHair, I'm good on reconstructors because I don't use protein often. I'm almost out of my Ion. I won't repurchase immediately. I'll wait until I use up my Joico Kpak recon and SSI Okra.
 
@divachyk

Yep.:grin: So Am I (real good). I have several

Goldwell
K-Pak
Sebastian Penetraitt
Pureology
Dudley Rebuilder
Nexxus Emergencee
Nexxus Keraphix
AG Fast Food
My Honey Child
Claudie
Jasmine
L'Anza
