Good Morning ladies!
Hope everyone had a nice quiet Easter Sunday.

chebaby, i'm sorry to read about your mocha problem, i don't think it has alot of protein no more than dudley or nexuus i didn't have any problems it just not that much better than aphohee, nexuus or any other that i have. Maybe you need a moisturizer after it?

Only hair product i need for this month is hair dye, i have to find a permanent dye that won't damage my now sensitive scalp. I tried to do a flexi rod yesterday what a joke, roller setting is just not working.

Enjoy your day ladies chat later!
 
Morning ladies! I'm excited about my 4 day week that will technically end up being 3 days since I have an off-site meeting Wednesday. Love short weeks.

I decided to try kccc on my edges yesterday and bun and I must say, I like it as an edge tamer. I spritzed dry hair with distilled water infused with lavender tea tree eo and aloe juice, applied cocasta oil, then the kccc. Nice hold and shine all day. I didn't sleep with a scarf on, but I only had to smooth a bit with my boar brush. No hair purchases for a while, saw a lil something I want so I'm back on my no-buy until further notice.
 
Hey Divas!

Just rubbed in some Claudie Hairline & Temple Balm with a shot of Mega-Tek.

I think I'm about to be heavy on the Mega-Tek tip.

So, it's about to be on!!! Mega-Tek with Everything.:lol:
 
Really, really glad to be off this week. I just made a Salmon Salad and about to watch my Soaps *what's left of them* and chill.:lick:

Thinking about next wash day. Maybe Thursday?

And I gots-ta get back on my Marie Dean DC'ers too.

May do a Shea-What and Mocha Silk Combo on Thursday. Could use both of those samples up in 1 shot.:yep:

I was thinking bout Mega-Teking again. My strands were definately coming in thicker, too thick, wiry thick.

@Golden75

Imma do a little mini M-T/Trigga' Challenge. :yep:

I will probably add Claudie Hairline & Temple Balm and Claudie Iman Butter to the Challenge too.

But Imma 'bout to break out this Mega-Tek tho' in a big way.:lol:

I got this Mega-Tek just sitting here. I wish I woulda' thought about it a couple weeks ago.:ohwell:

Better late than never.
 
IDareT'sHair & Golden75 - do you think the groth aides really work? I have Mega-Tek and Red Pimento Oil. They did nothing for me. I purchased the HTN Moisturizing Growth Lotion (I like the smell and the consistency.)

The only thing that helped my hair grow faster was aerobic exercising and washing my hair 2x's per week.
 
bronzebomb - I have no clue if they work, but I keep buying them :look:. I will say MT did something. I swear some of the strands were ridiculous thick, but I wasn't really consistent, beginning of healthy hair journey.

Some folks say, GA's don't work, it's just that usually when you use GA's you are taking better care of your hair overall :ohwell:.

IDareT'sHair - you still got that MT for sale or that's the one you using :look:?
 
My trigga just delivered :)

smells nice like a candy cane. Im liking their customer service !!!

and how sweet are the personal notes (I wish I wrote this pretty) lol. whoever wrote the notes has really good penmanship.

and while I was writing this my curlmart order came .... woohoooo got 2 samples one of ouidad climate control heat and humidity gel and the other is Matrix slik wonder smoothing oil (both anti frizz/smoothing products). They both have cones, but I'll still probably use them when I get off the no heat challenge, or more than likely when I tryout using flexi rods.

Im a happy camper
 
@SimJam is yours scented or is that the standard smell?

My birchbox came today! (@Golden75) Got a little of this and that but the highlight of the box is Zoya Bevin from the True collection. I've received other polishes in my Birchbox. Mostly Zoya and Essie. The prettiest to date is Zoya Izzy.
 
@divachyk - I don't think I need Bevin :lol: is that a light green?

I may re-sign up, that may help keep me sane on the no-buy/stop spending (personal all related though :grin:

ETA: I rejoined and mope don't need Bevin, need Izzy!

divachyk I assume its the regular/standard scent because in the note that came in the package they suggested trying a scent with my next order.

I really like this scent though its nice and subtle, and I prefer this for something Im gonna be using everyday (and not washing out)
 
SimJam

I'm glad yo' Trigga' came. I don't mind the smell at all (and it doesn't linger).

I always say it smells like Cola or something.:look:

I know I probably won't pay that extra $ to get it scented. They should offer a free scent 1 time. *cough*:look:

Everybody that has gotten it scented said theirs smell really nice.:yep:
 
chello ladies:wave:

my hair feels ok today, not as bad as i was expecting. but im still itching to do it over so i can make sure its at its softest.
my qhemet honey balm and detangling ghee came today. im loving the packaging and the ghee in a bottle. tuesday night when i redo my hair i will be conditioning with CURLS coconut dream conditioner because its in the shower and i want to use it up.
then i will moisturize with pura murumuru lotion and detangling ghee mixed with the honey balm.
 
@chebaby

Chello-Chelady!:wave:

So, CTDG is in a bottle nah? I think I'd prefer it in a Jar.

I hated when AV put Ashlii Amala in a bottle.:rolleyes:

That's really nice you got a package. I'm doing a swap with Ltown so, I'll be getting a package from her soon.:lick:

Oh yeah, and I'm still waiting on Claudie. After that, no new packages. *sobs*:cry:

ETA: Never looked at Eden. Lemme go see.
 
chebaby

Okay. I looked at Body of Eden. Nice 15% discount. I hate the smell of Gardenia aka Monoi and Tiare Flower.:nono:

Don't think I could tolerate the scent. Interesting tho'.

Relatively inexpensive. Are you thinking about getting them?
 
IDareT'sHair I got 2 16oz KKKC 1 spiral spritz and a knot today.

I really like the spiral spritz as a refresher (so far ie: over the last 3 hours lol, I have a twist out that was getting raggedy) so I think I may go to target and get 2 more bottles

I can get KK products in Jamaica but of course they are cheaper in the USA
