Took DH to white.barn today. Well actually, it was the other way around, but whatever. He was picking out candles. It was worse in BBW though. Anyway, the small candles were regular price ($14.50) so I put them back, but we took the big ones. He asked me the original price for the big one and his face went :eek: when I told him. Shocker right :rolleyes: then I had a $10 off $40 coupon. Got 4 candles and some hand soap. So my total was decent. But remember when I told DH how much the candles are regularly? Guess who was debating on buying a crate.

I said let’s go :look:

I've had them but gave the first 2 to my sister since I didn't care too much for them. She loved them a lot. The Mango I liked but used it up and don't have any backups at the moment.

I purchased 2 jars each of Rose Butter and the Strawberry one. A friend said she tried and loved them so I'm testing them as well.

Hated This! :lol: And no way was I trying the Rose:barf:
 
@Saludable84
I Agree. Those prices are so ridiculous. A Sale is the only way I would buy those. Sure, if you get the right one(s), the throws are excellent, but you have to get the right ones.

I am burning Twisted Peppermint now in my Kitchen, but I can smell it all the way in my Bed.room.

But yes, I agree, they are not worth $24-$26.50:angry2:

Nice and luscious. Blue black but very natural. I love it.
I had it dyed natural black already but it grew out a lot.

Nice!:love:

I'm trying to grow out this Henna and switch over permanently to a Semi. I could use it on top of it, but I wanna try to see if I can get rid of this Henna w/o cutting.

OAN: Are you buying anything else in 2017? I'd like to make another purchase or two. :sekret:

I just remembered I said I might add that Pink Sugar Cookies to my existing order. I hope it doesn't push it back till 4th of July:swearing:

Oh, I was in Pi.ping Ro.ck but didn't hit PayNah. I have one small order from them that shipped yesterday.
 
Hi PJ's!:hiya:

Hope all is well. :2inlove:

SheaVeda has a new "Growth Formula" that has Cinnamon Oil & Clove Oil.:lachen:

So from SheaVeda I have (4oz):
Ayurvedic Blend (Black Seed Oil & Amla)
Itchy Scalp Formula (T.ea Tre.e, Pepp.ermint, Sp.earmint, Eucalyptus)
Island Blend: (Haitian Black Castor, Jamaican Black Castor)
Oil Blend: Pumpkin Seed, Rice Bran, Hemp, EVOO, EVCO
Hot Blend: Strong Roots Pimento Oil

It's been fun mixing these up. Nice and Whipped.:love:
 
I have come to the conclusion that my fine strands cannot deal with Shea butter or heavy butters :eek:. I will have to use them very, very sparingly, like, on my ends.
My hair responds better to cream based moisturizers. I do not even need to seal with an oil or oil based product. Now I see why the LOC method does not apply to fine strand curlies. Still learning this head. :afro:

SB has really helped me so far with my detangling nightmares.:nono:

Clawd I wish I would have known about it before I took to the Scissors to cut them out. And....before I bought a bunch of detangling spritzs, cream rinses etc.....:angry2:

2017 and all the tangles, knotting, matting, locing was a Nightmare. If nothing more, it definitely helped me alleviate that hurdle.:up:

Like you, still learning this head.:ohwell:
 
I realized a lot of the information out there is not really fitting for fine haired naturals.
I have already noticed a difference in my hair just by incorporating frequent protein, even though protein is looked down upon in the natural hair community. It is not always about moisture, moisture, moisture. My strands need strength before any butter, cream, etc.
I think I may start a protein thread for 2018.

This is all me. I’ll use my Shea Butter for HOTs by themselves or on top of my DC’s. Anything else and my hair is a greasy weighed down mess. A shipping label has been created for my Coconut Confidence from Sunshine.

@Shay72
Good Point.:goodpost:

I was wondering if HOTs, Pre-Poos etc...would work for someone with fine strands.

Are you using Sunshine on both Ha.ir & Bo.dy?:lick:

I know you did not ask me, but I can prepoo with no problems, even using oils when I DC.
It is when I use them to style or "Seal" when the problems happen.

Kinky Tresses Coconut Mango butter is PERFECT. I need more buttas like that.

I still have Sunshine in my cart. Since I am developing a scalp sensitivity to certain fragrances and fragrance oils, I am being really cautious with this purchase if I bite.
