Did a color rinse (Bigen) and now deep conditioning under the steamer with Komaza Intensive Moisture Therapy.

I"m saving my Curl Junkie until the remainder of the items arrive.

Im going to use the remainder of my Mozeke twisting butter to do small twists for the week.

divachyk No, I did not put Tiiva Oil in the Fridge.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Nothin' going on my way. Just spritzed with a little Enso Sweet Agave Nectar & Flaxseed Spritz.

Should also be finishing this up soon. I have 1 Back-Up of the Enso, but I'll pull out my Njoi Herbal Tea Spritz next.

Speaking of @EllePixie I started to get that DevaCurl "Heaven In Hair" based on her review on the AveYou Site. It's a little 'pricey'. I'll hafta' think on that one some more.

@Ltown maybe Elle, is a Spokesperson for AveYou? She also reviewed DevaCurl Products as well.

[13StepsAhead]

Hey ladies I just re-organized my products and I'm in no rush to use these last 2 AY groupons or purchase anything else for that matter.

 

[divachyk]

Steaming with Tiiva on the length and AE Garlic on the roots.

 

[mkd]

Ltown, the interview was just ok, I am not expecting a callback.

I can't believe how much I love ms jessies on a wash and go. My hair is banging! I wish I had gotten another groupon to get more.

I am at the beach and had to buy some tresemme naturals because I don't think I brought enough conditioner with me.

@13StepsAhead I'm glad I still have 1. Although, I was tempted to try out some DevaCurl. Unfortunately, it just gets "mixed reviews" and I didn't want to chance it.

@mkd That's Nice mk! Normally, you don't say anything good about your styles. I'm glad it turned out nicely.

Have a good time at the Beach.

 

[hannan]

Just dc-ed with cj repair me ! I don't even like the smell of coconuts but I was loving it. It definitely made my hair mighty soft and fluffy but strong. No need for a moisturizing dc afterward.

@Charz I know you said earlier you added this to your staple list without trying. I suggest you get it asap if you haven't already.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Looking forward to trying out this Green Conditioner on Wednesday as a Cowash. I hate wait to see how all this "Green" Stuff Performs.

Should finish up some things this week. I know I'll finish up my Tiiva DC'er and probably Claudie Exlir and maybe something else.

Project Use It Up is still in Operation.

hannan Thanks for a Nice Review. I had this before and Sold it w/o trying. I'm glad I picked it up again.

I was going to use it as a Reconstructor or Protein Rx. and follow up with Moisture. I gotta read up on it again to see exactly what it is.

 

[hannan]

IDareT'sHair I was going to use it purely as a protein treatment too but it's so moisturizing too! Rinsing it was smooth, detangling was great, and my hair was cloud-like!

But let me slow down because I've been known to gush about a produt after the first use and then hate it afterwards. I think I'll try it again at the end of the week.

 

[chebaby]

i am so bored and sleepy and hot.
im gonna break out my shea butter rinse in monkey snacks for co washing once my honey hemp is gone.

I was tempted to try Hair Rules, but that ish is expensive and I'm a junkie for CJ.

 

[Shay72]

Did ya'll notice Tiiva's site is down for like 3 weeks? I guess they decided to shut down to get orders out? IDK.

I think my Ayurnatural order is at the office. If I had known that earlier I would have waited and tried her cassia treatment now it will have to wait like 2 months.

hannan I seriously doubt it because Curl Junkie totally lives up to it's Price & Reputation

Shay72 Yeah....I emailed her yesterday, because I tried to get like 3 more DC'ers on the 14th and the Discount Code had been removed etc.......and she answered and said she was heading to the UK for 3 weeks and the site would be down, but never really 'addressed' my situation nor offered me the Discount.erplexed

She said she had gotten other orders that day, but it would not accept the Discount Code when I attempted to make my purchase. That was never addressed.

wow I'm really turned off by her CS.

 

[Zaz]

I was halfway tempted to try their Kinky curling cream since Ulta sells sample sizes but when I turned it around, the second ingredient was mineral oil and it contains silicone, I put it right back down. At that price? No ma'am

Even if it were cheaper, I might use a conditioner with cones but prefer not to have any in my styling products.

Thanks Zaz! I will just stick with CJ

My mini review of Tiiva. Okay so I steamed with Tiiva. After I was done, my hair felt great, but that's true for every time I steam. The real test is when I've rinsed the conditioner, applied my leave-ins and air dried. My hair air dried bushy and dull. I have low porosity and try my best to stay away from acidic products. Notice this DCner has aloe vera. I haven't used aloe vera since the kimmaytube LI days. My hair had the same bushy & dull effect way back then also so I stopped using her LI. Perhaps aloe simply doesn't agree with my hair.

I attempted to do a ph test on the Tiiva conditioner but didn't get a good reading. I'll use it once more, if the same effect happens, I will discontinue use because when bushy and dull, my hair tends to be a little more fragile and prone to breakage.

ETA: If you are in the DC challenge, just act like you've never seen this posting because I'm about to post it there also. Too lazy to reword it.

ETA again: My hair is soft although it's very big, bushy and looks dull. I like shiny sheen to my hair.
