La: Girl, I went out to Jasmines and backed my cart out.

I want Hairveda!

I did order the samples of the Qhemet, Burdock Root, Amla Heavy Cream and Olive Oil & Honey Hydrating Hair Balm. *totally blaming Charzboss for this indescretion* But I know I will probably want the Full Sizes.

My Spree of Danger Ends Labor Day Monday at Midnight. Although it Should end Sunday at Midnight. Or Better Yet: Tonight at Midnight.

Oh, can I just vent as well?

I'm frustrated with my hair. I look like I have a lion's mane on my head and I'm having a hard time putting my hair in a pony tail. I do twist outs, but since I work out 5 -6 days a week I can't keep the style at all. I would like to go out tomorrow night so I'm here trying to figure out what to do with my hair. In addition to that, I'm trying to find a nice dress outfit that doesn't seem like I was trying to hard to look pretty . I was at the mall looking for shoes and the ones I liked were 4.5 inch heels . *le sigh*


ETA: Otay, I found something. I feel much better now that I got that out.

For a hair style you can do a puff with a pretty scarf as a head band or a cute head band. I can't get my hair in a pony without alot of conditoner and then when i get it, it hurts. I think puffs are pretty and with some good acessories you can rock it.

Ok im going to curl mart now. Im going to need more clarifying shampoo because my mama took my other one and i couln't tell her no. But the moisturizing shampoo is on sale too for $6 bucks(elucence) i might as well get that too and then you know the shampoo and conditioner have to match so.

Nevermind, the shampoo on sale is oos. I wanted to get everything together. Oh well.

 

[Shay72]

I feel you LC. I wanted to try this Shea Butter Lotion at Komazacare but they are out of my staple--Protein Hair Strengthener. I figure I will wait then.

Girl don't speak too soon, there might be some on monday. I know im done. I have to use some more stuff up.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Nah..Girl......I'm Done. Unless Qhemet or Hairveda or Afroveda comes out with something.

 

[chebaby]

Well I went to whole foods today and did a lol shopping. I got kccc, Giovanni direct leave in, 2 coconut milks, 2 avocados and some honey. I'm plannin on doing my first avocado deep conditioner tomorrow. Not sure if I wanna do it before or after I shampoo with my black soap.
Also I'm getting frustrated with my hair. It's so not thick in my crown area and I don't know why. I took my twist out out and it looked ok but I don't like the fact that my hair isn't thick. I'll get over it I guess.

Mine is not thick either, whenever i do twists or braids i always have these gaps and i hate it. Its never full. The only way i can get it to look full is to do a puff. We are in the same boat.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do with it tomorrow after my wash. Pony tails do hurt now.

Good look with the sales ladies. I got 2 Gillian Hair Butter, one in Pink Lemonade like Charzboss suggested and the other in Vanilla Almond along with a sample of the Banana Brulee Moisturizing Conditioner. These are mostly for my DD but I'll sample them as well.

I think that's all i'm getting, honestly.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Girl, the way it Looks....I ain't gettin' nothin' else either....I'm done.

You'll like the Banana Brulee. I wish I woulda' got one. I used mine up in this Fabulous Challenge. YAY!

I do have the Fortifying Mask in my stash, (which I've never used) I hope I like it as much as the B. Brulee.

 

[Brownie518]

I haven't taken advantage of any of the sales, so far. I really don't need anything. If Hairveda comes through with a good one, I might get a couple of things. I wish Hydratherma Naturals would have sales. Well, if Njoi had a sale, I might get something from them, too.
So, I'm working on a few things to use up right now. My Elucence MB conditioner, Ojon Hair Treatment, and shescentit Green Tea & Avocado PrePoo Treatment.

i was thinking of throwing some things away but i may keep it just to see if i use it one day lol. i hate throwing things away because i think i may regret it.

i have and love the banana brulee and i like the fortifying mask. it was amazing on my relaxed hair and now its just ok. most of the time i use shescentit coditioners on my moms hair as a pre poo. i make my dad pre poo too. they dont do anything for his hair that i can see because his hair is already like 2a or something. very fine and silky. but he has very bad flakes on his scalp all the time so i gave him my paul mitchell tea tree shampoo and he loves it. says it makes his scalp timgle and it takes the flakes away but it makes his scalp red. he wont use the matching conditioner though. he thinks he doesnt need it so i guess it is a good thing i slap some conditioner in his hair lol. i make my parents put all kinds of stuff in their hair lol but my mom put her foot down when i suggested the banana home made conditioner. she was like "oh hell no" lmao.

Okay I am still working on my to try list. I ordered Giovanni Nutrafix Reconstructor and Alba Leave In.

I am finishing up TJ's Tea Tree Tingle Condish. Very thick and moisturizing. I hate the smell and tingling so I won't repurchase.

I got the Coconut Confidence and I love the creamy, whipped consistency. It's got some weight to it but it's not heavy. She filled that jar up to the tippy top too. Black jar with cute handmade label. Not sure the jar is recyclable though. Anways I guess I missed the part about shea butter having a little smell to it. I think what I will do is take a little out and mix some essential oil in it to mask the smell. I used it on my hair yesterday and there is no need to remoisturize today. This is a keeper. The unrefined shea butter...yeah um I didn't realize the one I have from Jasmine's is whipped. So when I got this one I was like WTF??? I guess I will be whipping it at some point. Should I get one of those electric hand whips (is that what its called)? Can you tell I don't cook?

I bought a $10 handmixer at the store and i use that to whip my stuff up. That's all i use it for.

 

[redecouvert]

lol @Shay72: isn't karess krafters hair butter one of the best out there.. I mean, I apply some and my hair is puuure softness
You need to try Nunulove handmade Coco-nut hair pudding. It smells soo good, made with babassu oil and doubles as a great body butter. The price is only $4.50...while you're there try her elixir and sweet harlem oil...
I need to start posting again and what did i buy this week..I stopped to save myself some embarassment

You've Made 2 Excellent Product Choices

I want some Komaza!

Get some.

I made a small batch of avocado butter cream last night. The ingredients are:

2 Tablespoons avocado butter
1/4 teaspoon of avocado oil, sweet almond oil and apricot kernal oil.
a few drops of honey.
a few drops of scented oil(optional)

I whipped it with a handmixer until creamy and set in the fridge for about an hour. I like avocado butter because its easy to mix.

Im only making small batches at a time so if i get tired of it i can try to make something else.

The sad thing is I thought I had one...but I don't. I will go get one. Are you talking about the one with two thingies that twirl ? I remember licking cake batter off them when I was little.

How do you like the Apricot Kernal Oil? Does it have a scent? I'm still considering purchasing oils from TNS, but I need to use up what I have.

I "enhanced" my Pantene yesterday. I have more kitchen supplies (i.e. measuring cups, containers, plastic spoons etc) in my bathroom than in my kitchen. I love mixing products. Btw, what kind of containers did you purchase from Hobby Lobby?

You and me both Terri. I waited as well and to my surprise, little or nothing is on sale. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Maybe I'll wait for thanksgiving instead. I believe I have enough products to wait for a while.
