Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge 2009

[IDareT'sHair]

I will say it is tougher to buy now that I have joined this challenge. Sometimes I go on a site and I'm like .

It is. And I am happy about that. Now I think, before I purchase.
I admit, I slip up every once & awhile but I'm nothing like I use to be.

 

[La Colocha]

Off to check out Taliah Waajid and Texas Natural Beauty Supply. I will say it is tougher to buy now that I have joined this challenge. Sometimes I go on a site and I'm like . Seriously products have to call my name and I have to need them. I do have a weakness for conditioners and moisturizers .

I ordered mine from beauty of new york because i know they have fast shipping. And the products are 1 cent lesshey i have to save anyway i can. But on her site she has the liters and gallons.

I got

african healing oil
enhancing herbal conditoner( i heard this was it but i shall see)
protective mist bodifier
total body black earth shampoo
stimulating herbal cleanser( It says its a prepoo shampoo but on a lady's youtube video she said its a clarifiying shampoo for locs. So ill use it as a clarifyer.).

My total came to 41.46 plus shipping which was only 8 something so not too bad. And when i got to paypal the guilt was gone.

Okay I'm back. I don't like the packaging for Taliah Waajid . I know that's all it takes sometimes. For Texas Natural Supply I was thinking shoot I got some unrefined raw shea butter here I can whip up and do some things with so still I couldn't find anything to buy.

I saw those yesterday too but not this one. they had a blue one and one that said white tea. Next time i go i will pm you first and ill see if they have it.

Ladies the pj bug is bitting my butt. I am on the verge of buying all the taliah waajid products except for the locking gels. Im serious but i feel guilty. I don't know if i should buy them or not. Beauty of new york has them and they are cheap. Im stuck

Thanks a million LC. Where are you ladies getting all these new products from anyway?

I am at the End of My Jar of Cold-Pressed Expelled Coconut Oil. I got it out of the Fridge have been applying since I just relaxed. It's Very soothing and penetrating and it feels wonderful.

I will dig out and use up some of my Lighter Oils; Avacado, Grapeseed and Macadamia Nut since I am freshly relaxed.

I will use those up and save my JBCO for when I am heavier into my next stretch.

This will give also me the opportunity to see which Oils I'll repurchase. I will definitely re-up my Coconut Oil.

I really love grapeseed oil. I add it to my conditioner and it is fabulous as a HOT. Good job, Terri!

Americka: Tell me how you do your HOTS? I read through that thread briefly at your response. Again, are you doing it on dry hair or damped co-washed hair? I think Shay had also posted.........

HOTS may be something that I want to consider incorporating this winter. Especially since I live in a Brutally Cold Snowy Winter Climate Area Thanks

I have done mine EVERY WAY imaginable! As of late, depending on my mood, I will do a HOT on dry hair or I will do a HOT over my dc. For about two weeks after a relaxer, I will use jojoba or grapeseed for my HOT. As I get more weeks post, I use coconut oil.

Girl, my mouth is salivating at the oils you listed! You need to use those oils. Jojoba is such a light oil and it mimics our own scalp's sebum. It is perfect when freshly relaxed. I probably shouldn't, but I microwave my oil for about 30 to 40 seconds. I want it very warm, but not too hot. You can also sit the oil in boiling water for about two or three minutes to heat it up.

Hell the snow belt, the north pole in this piece. 45 below is not nice on the hair. I know if my car won't start my hair is not going to make it. But seriously i lost alot of hair last winter, i want to be prepared this time around.

I am sure ya'll know this, but in one of the threads, several people recommended avoiding coconut oil in cold weather. It causes the hair to become hard. I'm down here in the bayou, so I probably won't have that worry.

Yeah....La Can't Use Coconut Oil on her hair at all. And I experienced the Deep Freeze Last Winter with EVCO.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Now I can't wait to see the Progress from My HOTS!

And....I will be Using Up More Stuff. YAY!

I think I will do them December through March:scratchch

OR ......if it starts getting cold in November -- April.:scratchch

I can use up that Cholestrol and some of that Hair Mayo I never use, by pouring the HOTS over it. I will think of a variety of ways to use it too!

I do mine on dry hair all of the time. 30-60 minutes with a plastic cap then I use my heat cap for an additional 30-60 minutes.

Doing it over the dc that sounds interesting. I may have to give that a try. Simple things can be a bit hard for me can you explain that a little more ?

Yeah, um I don't heat up the oil prior because I know myself too well .

No problem! I usually dc with Lustrasilk Shea Butter/Mango Cholesterol with a plastic cap for about 20 to 30 minutes. After warming my oil, I simply pour the HOT on top of the dc making sure I cover all of my hair. The oil really doesn't disturb the layer of dc. I guess it has the same effect as mixing the dc with oil. HTH!

Hey Shay: I was going to ask you about Njoi/Esty (sp) Or whatever it's called.

I was looking at the Coconut Cream DC, but I see it's sold out.

Have you used this?

It's a butter and then people told her you can use it as dc too. I love it. I use it as a moisturizer. Light, whipped consistency. Very moisturizing. Oh that reminds me I'm will be posting up some staples in a bit. This is one of them.

You can pm her through etsy and see if she can do a reserve listing for you. From what I understand she only posts one of each or you may see a listing for the same item several times. PM her. She is so nice. Her customer service is on point and her shipping is fast. I've asked her to make larger sizes and she does.

Girl, Your T.Walid Stuff seems to be the HOT ITEM Tonight!:burning:

Everybody's all over that stuff.

I can't Wait Until You Get It!
