Skala Hair Products.

[Sunshine_One]

I really NEED to stay out of these product threads....because now I want to try these products. Actually I wanted to try them about 5 years ago. But I couldn't find them here. So my DMV ladies....what Big Lot locations carry Skala products? TIA

 

[JustSimplyTish]

I slept on my hair and this morning it was still just as soft and my curls defined...I put a little of the AfroVeda Sunsilk Oil in my hair for shine and I didn't have to rewet, wash or anything...I will see how many days it lasts

You ladies are the best! I am officially a Skala fan. I just leave the BL near my job and picked up, 3 SB masques, 2 ceramides G3 poos/co and the last Jaborandi co. I already have 3 Aloe Vera masques, 2 SB co and 1 FC masque that I purchased from another BL this past Sunday.

Choctaw, thanks for the suggestion on using the FC as a base! My mixology skills are about to go to a whole new level.

I have never used FC by itself so I have no clue how well it works or does not work for my hair. I opened the jar and saw a good substitute for Nexxus or PM conditioners in my homemade potions. I still have not mixed it with eggs, french green clay, powdered herbs, microwaved unsweetened dark chocolate, aloe vera juice, other fruit and vegetable baby foods, irish moss, sea weed, flax seed, espresso beans, dried flowers, etc. Imagination, a microwave, coffee grinder, blender or spatula and a jar of Skala FC and its ON!

I am very interested in what ever you and the KitchenMagician who responded earlier on this page come up with. I got 3 jars of this stuff to play with

I may be the only one here, but my hair liked the FC, the only thing I've mixed with it was coconut oil and sat under the steamer, my hair felt so yummy I wish I could have hugged it

ETA::The only masque I've tried are the Aloe, Shea Butter and FC, and I like them in that order...Although FC is my least favorite of the 3, I still got good results, and the FC worked far better than some of the other products I've spent a lot of money on.

Just a reminder that each of the Skala lines are supposed to address different hair issues:

Shea Butter - adds moisture to dry or brittle hair
Aloe Vera - moisturizes and revives dry hair
Avocado - restores natural softness and shine to dry coarse hair
Ceramides G3 - seals hair cuticle and strengthens hair structure
Jaborandi - revives weak/dull hair and removes excess oil from hair and scalp
Fruit Cocktail - moisturizes and restores all hair types

Your hair may like one particular product or none. Mine loves the SB and Jaborandi. It likes the AV, but only tolerates the Ceramides G3 (except for the masque which is ). Fruit cocktail is so-so compared to the others and I've never used the Avocado. Remember to try any product on clean hair for the best possible results!

I'm bumpin this so it won't get lost, this is good info and will be helpful for new Skala heads.

I am trying the FC next...I may mix it with a little Shea Butter & Vitaka Frosting.....But it won't be till Saturday.....thats my DC day

 

[DDTexlaxed]

OK, I had the best hair day ever! My hair was so curly and moisturized! I have never had such gorgeous definition without the use of chemicals or KCCC! I don't know if it was the baking soda wash or the jabarondi skala conditioner. So Awesome!

 

[JustSimplyTish]

^^ I think it was the JaBlahBlah....Ok who is selling me more JaBlahBlah I'm sold!!

 

[kaykaybobay]

Anyone here buy skala from Duane reade? What's the selection there? Prices? Gonna see my Granny in NYC , gonna make brother in law and my sister and their kids scope out skala lol. Any other places I should check out?

 

[schipperchow1]

OK Skaladies, I will be doing a CW w/the Jaborandi & am considering DC w/the G3 mask or a G3 & cholesterol mix. Do you think that is a good combo - the Jaba & G3?

TIA!

I just came in to rave about the C3 leave in! This is the only leave in I have.

My kids went swimming last night and woke up with really matted and snarled hair. Just to give you the scope of my problem, one has tail bone length hair and is the hair twin of Flowerhair, the other one has hair similar in texture to Boing Boing and is WL.

Anyhow, I just started squirting the C3 leave in on their hair and it got all of the tangles out and made their hair very soft. Very little of their hair came out at all so I am very impressed.


The down side is that it took about 40% of the bottle though to do both heads.

I may have to get on the swap boards to pick up more leave in - I'd like to try the Jaborandi, aloe vera, shea butter too.

 

[tanjola]

Is anyone using the conditioner or the masque as a leave in? is it safe to do this? I used the aloe masque as a leave in and sealed with hairveda's Cocosta oil. My curls were crazy defined, frizz free, and very soft.

 

[JustSimplyTish]

^^ I can't think why It wouldn't be safe...so I am curious as well.....I leave conditioner in my hair all the time...but I just haven't with these...they seem a little to thick...but the Masque maybe I have to try

I used the av mask as a leave in and it worked well for me.

 

[CaliDiamond]

I am trying the fruit cocktail masque with coconut oil and milk. I will report my findings in a few. Just mixed it up in a bowl and it already smells

 

[JustSimplyTish]

I am sitting here now with FC masque, coconut oil & jojoba oil on my hair LOL

I decided to Dc early this week because I have an event this weekend.....I am gonna leave it on for a good part of the morning....actually until after I finish my house cleaning and laundry

Wow that sounds awesome! I haven't used jojoba oil in a while. I usually use avocado oil, castor oil and coconut.

 

[LadyRaider]

All the BL in south austin had was the Cerimedes conditioner.

 

[JustSimplyTish]

Wow that sounds awesome! I haven't used jojoba oil in a while. I usually use avocado oil, castor oil and coconut.

How could I forget I have Castor Oil in there too....I'm a oily mess right now under this steam cap

 

[tanjola]

I used the av mask as a leave in and it worked well for me.

I just co washed with the c3 conditioner and used the c3 leave-in and...mmmm.....not working for me. The AV worked much better for me as a wash and go. Maybe I will try it again one day whenever I decide to straighten my hair.

I hope you like your results, I should try this mixture myself I have a cabinet full of coconut milk

Sorry it didn't work for you. I am really impressed with how easily it detangled their hair while it was dry - they have a ton of hair and very little came out. They are both tenderheaded so I am happy happy!!

I FINALLY found Skala condish after hitting up THREE BL stores!! I was real close to buying some online. They only had G3 condish and leave in but I got a couple to give them a try. Plan to cowash on Friday or Saturday so we'll see how it goes!!!

Yay, I'm so happy it worked out for you!

From those that have used these below, What would be the ranking for most moisturizing & softness out of these 4, that you've experienced?

• Aloe Vera Leave In/Masque
• Avocado Leave In/Masque
• Shea Butter Leave In/Masque
• Ceramides Leave In/Masque

Let us know how it goes...

 

[NikStarrr]

I happened to be near a BL this morning and stopped to see if they had any Skala products. They had the Aloe Vera & Ceramides G3 conditioners, and the FC masques. I bought all three. Going to try out the AV condish to co-wash with before I bun as soon as my rugrat takes his nap. I'll report back on what I think.

I think it depends on your hair and it's needs. I know some would say the Shea Butter would be the best but the Aloe Vera is my favorite masque, next is the Shea Butter. I love the Aloe, Ceramides & Shea Butter leave-in in that order. I haven't tried the avocado line..

 

[schipperchow1]

Ok. I decided to CW w/ the Jaborandi & use the G3 mask w/out anything else. Will sit under dryer for about 20mins & report back later. So far, I like the Jaborandi as a CW.

ETA: This combo is definitely a winner! My results were soft, smooth hair that doesn't feel coated & isn't weighed down I especially like the price tag
