Okay so I clarified that Pura mess up out my hair and DCing with my beloved Kenra. If I buckled down, I could solely rely upon Kenra to get the job done. However, I like variety so that's not gonna happen.

what happened with pura? i'm going to check your previous posts

the DM curling cream is alright. my hair was a huge, frizzy mess by the time i got in from work though. i wonder if it's because it has glycerin and aloe vera? i need to find out which ingredient is the culprit.

i twisted with the SM and sealed with evoo. really need to steam soon.

waiting for Ohm to open and for Qhemet to restock. there was something else i wanted but i forgot. but oh! i got 58 oz of coconut oil for $26! you caint eem beat that wit a stick

IDareT'sHair. Lawd for the love of pj lovin jeezus, who is Naturelle Grow? What are the ingredients? What it smell like? What are we gon' do with you?

divachyk I would use the Coco Creme and Tahitian Vanilla leave ins differently. The Coco I use on wet or dry hair, Tahitian only on damp/wet hair and in warmer months.

I did what I said I would with the CTDG and Aethiopika and I must admit, my twists are obscenely soft. I can't stop touching my hair . I'm talking sexy soft, and moist. Can't wait to see what it looks like in the morning. I hope it doesn't frizz up, it's that soft. Pillows. I'm rambling, let me go to sleep .

My hair feels much better now that I've clarified. I tried something different tonight. Since I'm 12 weeks post, I took a fine tooth comb and gently tugged on the ng. At first I did cause a little bit of breakage but when I got the hang of it, it was on point. I really liked how that stretch out my ng.

Thanks Eisani.

[Brownie518]

just say brownie and E made you do it

Why I got to be in it?



I ordered Carol's Daughter yesterday with 20% off all Black Vanilla stuff. That's not all I ended up getting from her, though . I also got some Hairitage, Hair Trigga, CPR, and emailed Claudie for some stuff. My CD will be here tomorrow, already.

Here's some stuff I used up recently:
Black Vanilla Smoothie
Saravun Olive Squalane & Shea Butter
SD Aaliyah's Blessing
SD Sweet Milk DC
HV pH Rinse
Hydratherma Naturals oil
Hydratherma Naturals Lotion 4oz

I had pulled some stuff out that was almost gone and knocked some out this past few weeks.

G, the sale starts at Noon, she said on FB. I'm supposed to be out and about around then. I'll have to make sure my phone is charged so I can get 2 Vatika Frostings, CoCasta, and pH Rinses.

 

[Brownie518]

Brownie518, is the Tahitian Vanilla better than Coco Cream? Wonder if anyone on the exchange forum would trade a CoCo for Tahitian Vanilla. I have several unused CoCos in the stash. :scratchch

divachyk

I've never used the Coco Cream. The Tahitian Vanilla is a spray on leave in, not a creamy like the Coco. I like it on my wet hair and as a refresher when it's warm out. It's .

 

[13StepsAhead]

I cannot wait fo rmy day to be over! 3 more hours and I'm outta' here. And today is hair day:
- Prepoo/Detangle with Coco nut oil
- Shampoo with Bobeam oats and honey
- DC for 1-2hours with AO blue green Algae
- Follow-up with Moisture DC for another 1-2 hours
- Twist my hair for a twist out. (I'm heading to France so I want to wear my hair out for a day)

 

[Golden75]

Brownie518 - thanks! I figured I was just being early I want to get something, but I don't need it. I'll take a

Having buyers remorse on the Coach Tote bag, tried to cancel but they said it's packed I am a notorious returner, will back . I have a Coach tote I need to have repaired, so I will most likely return this, and just get it fixed.

I finished a Mozeke sample of the Juicy Peach Poo - will not purchase full size. It gets the job done, but meh, I have a ton of poo's. And that's it, I only finished 1 freaking sample

Hi ladies!

Nothing doing over here. I took about 2 inches off last week. My ends were looking raggedy. I swear 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I needed a new moisturizer so I picked up the mizani coconut one last night. We'll see how it works out.

How yall doing?

 

[Golden75]

Passing on HV

 

[Eisani]

Golden75 I got my Big Whipped Gelly and another CoCasta. The smallest HV cart I've eva made.

 

[Eisani]

BrownBetty ain't been to work, ain't called nobody...haven't seen you in a while.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Quick vent....So I purchased a tape measurer for my hair and I'm so disappointed in my lack of retention last year. I'm not average 1/2" per month grower I get about 4-5" inches a year (based on my length when I BCed), but those trims due to setbacks last year put me back more than I thought. oh well, I guess this is what a journey is all about.

 

[Golden75]

@Golden75 I got my Big Whipped Gelly and another CoCasta. The smallest HV cart I've eva made.

Eisani - yeah I saw that big Whipped Gelly and thought of you. I wanted the Almond Glaze, and revisit Whipped Ends. Even tho I know shelf life is longer that whats there, I didn't want to risk wasting stuff, and neither was on sale anyway.

 

[13StepsAhead]

I'm really eyeing HV, but I'll wait until BF since I have other stuff to use up.

 

[Golden75]

13StepsAhead - My thoughts exactly.

 

[Golden75]

DAYUMMMMMM I got a fraud alert. Says someone in India for $204. They declined they charge, thank goodness. Calling now.

 

[Golden75]

Lawd this is scary. I AM DONE SHOPPING ALL CRAZY ONLINE!!!

 

[Golden75]

Someone tried to use use my card in Ireland, Hong Kong, Germany, Denmark and in the US. OVER 50 charges were attempted in the last few hours. LADIES IT'S OVER. MY PJI-ISM HAS BEEN CURED!

 

[13StepsAhead]

OMG!!!! Where was the last order you placed online?

 

[Golden75]

The last place was Coach Factory Outlet yesterday. I had to enter my card number, most places I use paypal only. So there must be a breach at Coach. May be I'll send cust serv an email to give an alert.

But I am like shook right now! I mean multiple countries and throughout the US, these fools was trying to clean me out!

 

[13StepsAhead]

Wow that's scary. Makes me think twice about ordering while im here.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@IDareT'sHair. Lawd for the love of pj lovin jeezus, who is Naturelle Grow? What are the ingredients? What it smell like? What are we gon' do with you?

Eisani

It smells nice & fruity. In fact the Trio (Cleansing Conditioner, Deep, Moisturizer) all smell the same.

Did you click on the Lank? That's some good stuff.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Golden75

That's Terrible.

That has happened to me before (right here in the US) and they caught the mess after the fact. Like $800 later.

It took about 6 months to get it fully resolved and off my CC.

 

[Golden75]

@13StepsAhead - definitely keep a close eye. I been shopping online since inception and before paypal, and before all the "security" and this has never happened. Like my mom said, they target the large companies, that get heavy traffic, larger purchases, makes sense. Those consumers may not notice as quickly.

it's weird cause my account was fine this morning, at lunch I took money out to pay for lunch with mom & bro. By the time I came back a couple hours later, it was on & popping! It's like "they" needed me to make a transaction, before "they" decided to start charging. But glad it was caught, and no damage done. But I will NOT be ordering if it requires me to enter my card number. I believe 95% the breach happened with Coach. I did not have to enter my card # on any other site. No other transactions happened after that, except pre-authorized bill payments & transfer to savings.

IDareT'sHair - WOW! My friend said the same thing, they got her for $500.

I think why nothing processed for me because it was multiple transactions back to back. Within 2 hrs 50+ transactions were attempted in multiple countries & multiple US states. If that don't ring the alarm, I don't know what will. Fraud ppl said they have not seen this many attempts to one card in a long time. So thank goodness the transactions were coming so quick or I'd probably been cleaned out!

I made sure my savings is not linked for overdrafts.

 

[Eisani]

Golden75 now THAT is scary!

Boo and my daddy are bbq'ng today :reddancer: grilled chicken and veggies for me! Ooh, lemme go make some kabobs to throw on there.
