I used AE garlic since you mentioned it.
I'm so glad I started oil rinsing a few weeks back 'cuz now its freezing here.

@curlyhersheygirl
I have this on my Calendar to use the 1st of each month until Spring as a Maintenance Treatment.

I haven't been out today but yesterday it was in the 60's....

Maybe this is why I wanna get all Butta'd up?

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I've been using QB BRC and MHC Type 4 Hair Cream. In regards to butters, I've been using APB's Hair & Body Butta mainly on my ends. I might start pulling out the Curluxe Naturals Buttercream and BN Moisture Quench Butter (sweet potato pie).

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Their oils are so excellent but the price KILLS me!!!!!

That hair cream that smells like Patchouli and Big Strong Man is bae but they don't sell it anymore

@Saludable84
I know!

I'd love to have several bottles of these.

@flyygirlll2

ETA: I have a jar of APB's Hair & Body Butta' I found the other day.

It's been in the 5o's and rainy here all week

@curlyhersheygirl
Did that AE Garlic treat you right? Man....rinsing it out I was like

Yeah, we've been having these wild impromptu Thunderstorms.

ETA: You should go several pages back and look at my BF list.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

@IDareT'sHair
Once I finish the bottle of creamy oil I have in use right now. I'll be pulling out the last jar of HH sprout.

It sure did.

I did peep at your list. It was better than I thought it would be

@curlyhersheygirl
I don't have any more Sprout, but I have x1 8oz Jar of "Jar Of Joe". After that, my HH Stash will be depleted.

*Pours out some HV for HH*

@curlyhersheygirl
You got Jokes!

Well all that is contingent on Sales....so we'll see what these folks come up with.

My problem is I jump on one-offs and it throws my balance off.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Yes, unfortunately I have products stashed in my closet, fridge, and bathroom . Curluxe Naturals is available on Hattache, that's where I bought it. I also had their twisting cream but I gave it away. I love their Buttercream though.


@Saludable84 Sorry hun . I've been giving so much stuff away lately. If you're looking for something specific, let me know cause I might have it.

@curlyhersheygirl IIRC I think we live in the same state? If so, yeah the weather has been rainy and busted.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
When you feel up to it, you should try to get everything centralized into one (or two) locations and then you won't feel so overwhelmed and just randomly start snatching up stuff giving it away.

ETA: Are you getting any Bel Nouvo Creams this Season?

 

[flyygirlll2]

I also have the AE Garlic Mask. I guess I'll have to try it again because I wasn't over the moon about it when I tried it the first time. Actaully I was transitioning when I used it, so it might be different this time.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Speaking of Bel Nouvo I think I have x1 of each:
Red Velvet
Sweet Potato
Vanilla

@flyygirlll2
It's a Treatment. I pulled it out mainly because it's my "sheddy season" so I wanted to do some preventative maintenance.

As a Treatment, AE Garlic does what it says. Like Cathy Howse and BBD Stretch, they may not be the most "Glamorous" products out there, but as a Treatment they do what they say.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair That's a good idea. There's only a small number of products out of that massive stash that I can honestly call staples, everything else is just there.

I'm interested in that Amareto scent they're offering now. Sounds like it might be good. Is there even a sale? I have'nt made much of a dent in the one I already have. I almost gave that one away too until I opened it and took a whiff
I changed my mind with the quickness after lol.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
Yeah, you need to get control of your stash and get it into a centralized location. And see if that helps you feel better in general about your stash.

And maybe not be so "quick" to give good stuff away, because it's getting on your nerves.

Girl, if I had stuff in multiple locations I'd lose my mind.....

I think last year BN had something like 25% but we were all getting it my MyLoux for 35% which no longer exists.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

@flyygirlll2 I believe we do, so you know what I'm talking about

@IDareT'sHair Those one offs will get you every time. Here's my tentative list contingent upon % offered:

Claudie's
2 in 1 complete
normalizing conditioner

Jakeala
Soaps
toner

LRC
Shake n go liter

HV
Methi set
acai phyto
whipped clouds (maybe)

If the new stuff from ST gets great reviews I'll get those as well

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair You're right. It should be great for shedding. I almost forgot about my boo BBD Stretch . I still have some left and I'm just holding on to it because that ish is expensive. If Cathy Howse does anything for BF and hopefully there's no *cough* issues with her manufacturer, I may pick up that DC.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@curlyhersheygirl
That little BF list is impressive (for you) to say the least.

Hmph. I was like: "Where the rest of it at?"

I'm trying to behave. But you and I know that if the deals are poppin' that list will increase.

@flyygirlll2
Yeah, these products aren't the most "sexy" things out there, but they get the job done.

And you are so right about BBD. I have to reup on that one when I get my Income Tax.

I know, it really has been getting on my nerves since everything is spread out. I love helping others with their hair if they ask me for help or have questions. My coworker who is transitioning, she told me she was very grateful and that she loves the products I've given her.

I had given her some Silk Dreams products (some I haven't even opened) and she loves them. She even started stalking the website lol.

@curlyhersheygirl
And you know they go on and on until New-Years, which leaves about 6-8 weeks to do some major damage.

I can't remember when we caught that fabulous Ms. Jessie's Sale?

 

[Saludable84]

@flyygirlll2 @curlyhersheygirl then you two aren't that far from me and I'm barely in the 60's. I finally accepted I have to wear a jacket again

It's also why I'm back to 1x a week washing.

I used to love AE Garlic but haven't used it in years. It really does do what it says, but I never relied on it as a DC. Even using garlic oil on my scalp works but it stanks so much. Garlic is by far the best product for reducing shedding for me.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
When you feel like dealing with it, think about gathering them and putting them into one location.

Maybe get some bins and separate them out: DC'ers, Butters, Stylers etc....but keep them together and they won't get on your nerves so bad that you just want them away from you.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Saludable84
I don't rely on it strictly as my DC'er either. I used it but then steamed with BoBeam.

I use it under dryer basically as a "Treatment" and then followed up with a DC'er.

@Saludable84
Agreed!

I make sure I always keep a jar of this on hand.
