Skala Hair Products.

They are petroleum-laden, cone-havin', melt your new growth tress transformers! :lachen::lachen::lachen:

I was sooooo committed to all natural products but this Skala business has been my ultimate delicious sin. It makes my hair feel so silky and great.:lick: I think those brazilians had their game on lock concerning highly-textured hair. Yet, the ingredients are very common and the list is very short compared to other conditioners that promise to do what Skala effortlessly delivers.

:orders: Preach!!!....girl you better preach....:lachen:
 
I need to start grinding for the masque....I have fruit cocktail and 1 aloe which I absolutely love.
 
I think I’m going to need to bind this thread IJN:lachen:. I went back to the supermarket today. I couldn’t stop myself. They were calling my name. Got keratin, avocado, jabowhatever and shea butter conditioner, shea butter leave in styling cream and a HUGE tub of avocado masque – total cost $30. I am sooooooooooo hopeless:nono:. I came across another line from Brazil - garlic shampoo, conditioner and masque for hair loss, huge tubs, smelt delicious too. I put them down, took 3 steps backward from the shelves and :cowgirl: out of the supermarket. Current skala haul pictures below.

Note to lafani – Stay out of the supermarket :brucelee::bat:!!!

You said it! Although I haven't come across any Skala with cones so you can still uphold any no cone laws. :yep:

Oh no! Oh no! DO NOT let FB see that big tube o' avocado masque.
 
OK - we need a science lesson now. How are these products delivering results? As mentioned above they have a very short ingredient list. They are full of stuff we have been taught not to put in our hair and they only cost from $1.00 or £1.99

Can anyone break it down for us? What is the magic ingredient?



Oh - i bought a Chocolate conditioner during my lunch break today!

Was so preoccupied in my Zumba class :yay: that I couldn't stop watching the clock wating for class to end so I could make a return dash to BL. Last nite's stash afforded me 22 new items. They had no idea what the next shipment would include. They get weekly deliveries though. My current Skala Arsensal includes:
  • 1 Avocado poo
  • 2 Aloe masq
  • 6 Aloe cond
  • 6 Jaborandi cond
  • 3 Shea masq
  • 1 Shea lv-in
  • 6 G3 cond
  • 7 G3 lv-in
  • 5 Fruit Cocktail masq
I took pictures of my stash :Flahsssss(beautiful) - will post them later. yay for me:bouncy:

I tried the shea masque (with EVCO drizzled in) and it made my hair feel soft and so much more detangled. I don't know if it was the Skala or the fact that I was washing out my flat iron or the fact that I had just hennaed or that fact that I used yogurt to loosen my coils or the EVCO. It felt good though and it was so much easier to run my fingers through my hair almost without hesitation. This is never the case. I'm a type 4 coily girl with some 3c:yep:. Since I rinsed the masque out in braids I apparently did not wash it all out. Afterwards could feel a waxy film on my tresses but it didn't bother me - I went with it.

Last night I tried the G3 conditioner (no chaser). I felt so good on my hair and smelled yummy almost like it had rose water in it or sumthin. I've used a masque and conditioner now and both foamed up on my hair. My hair was so easy to deal with. Sometimes it can be a bit unruly, especially after a henna treatment. It felt so soft and my radical edges were so agreeable :lachen:. I co-washed in 6 braided sections. I took each section aloose to make sure I washed it all out. I was determined to capture and collect every shed hair and I was so amazed :blush: at how little my hair shed. I only finger combed but still. I added the G3 leave in to my soaking wet hair and some aloe gel (which I later realized was not all natural) anyway my hair was still soft in the morning but not Jheri Juice soft. What I did notice is that no matter how I tugged at my hair (I was kinda rough with my hair :ohwell: it did not break or shed or anything. After awhile I was rough just to test it out - it was like supa strong skala hair. I like it and will use again. Wish I had a masque though.

mmm ok...so have to agree with you...when I went over to BL today to get a couple more C3 and Aloe condishes...the girl who checked me told me I was gonna love em....:perplexed i told her...yeah...I have about 10 at home and I do. She says, "well if you love these, you'll love the ones in the little pots, cuz those are the best things out there" I was like OHHHH HEEEELLLL NOOOOOO!!! (in my mind) I just smiled reaaaly friendly and said...yes, I got a few when you had them on the shelf last week. She says...SOMETIMES, they put them in the clearance bin because they don't have room on the shelf for all the products and you can get them for 75 cents:shocked:. How often does that happen, i asked as CASUALLY as I could....she said when we get a really big shipment of them!!! Yah'll I just about fainted!!!
errrmmmm so I exchanged phone numbers with her and asked if she could lemme know....when the next shipment comes in...cuz I have some friends who would like to try this stuff out.
MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE BL WORKERS YAH'LL!!!!

OH MAHHH DAYUUM!!!
 
Ladies in the DMV area go to the BL on Montgomery Village Avenue in Gaithersburg, I found some G3 conditioners there (well a lot, I bought most of them :D). They might have got a new shipment I don't know.

I'm going to try the one on Route 1 in Virginia I think, I have to check the address again.

Oh and if y'all find some please save some for me and let me know too, pretty please :lachen:

That's a VERY good question. There's nothing in the ingredients that I haven't seen in standard American cons. My guess would be that maybe the concentrations are higher or because they keep it simple. Based on what I've read in the "Brazilian Secrets" thread they keep haircare pretty simple compared to us. Less is more over there. You can see that in Skala's ingredients. You look at our cons and it's filled with so much unnecessary stuff. I believe it's all of these extra fillers and such in our stuff that makes the cons less effective especially for highly textured hair.

I was looking at the ingredients for the Komechom cons that I ordered and some of the lists are so short but they are probably the ones that work the best.
 
Whooo Hoooo....I finally hit the Skala jackpot (sorry DMV ladies, I had to go all the way to the Midwest to find these)!

4 aloe masque
3 aloe cond
7 shea butter cond
5 jaborandi cond
7 ceramides cond
5 fruit cocktail masque
1 shea butter leave-in (gave up on BL and paid $5.50 at Giant :wallbash:)
1 ceramides leave-in (paid $5.50) :wallbash:

I have been using the shea and ceramide leave-ins for over a week and I LOVE them both. I use the shea butter leave-in as a daily moisturizer and the ceramide leave-in weekly on wet hair for my rollersets.

Review of the aloe vera masque:
When I first opened the jar I got a little nervous because it looked like a jar of loose vaseline but when I started spreading it on my hair things got a whole lot better. I loved the way it got a little foamy and my hair started feeling slick. I put on a plastic cap and deep conditioned with heat for 15 minutes. After I rinsed it out it was SLIP CITY!!!! I rubbed a little of the ceramides leave-in in my hair and then proceeded to rollerset. It was then that I noticed how shiny my hair was. The real test however will be how my 4B, six week post-relaxer hair feels once it dries (I am still under the dryer right now) and I take the rollers out. If my hair still feels soft after it dries then we will definitely have a winner!

Stay tuned......
 
Jersey,

Can we form an alliance here? OKay, cause somebody done raped all the shelves around here and I can't get my hands on any. I did find some at the Giant, but they are 5.99. That just breaks my heart to have to buy that. So how's about we do this, we get what we can find and share some. I can go to the BL in Montgomery Village in Gathersburg again. I think someone up here said that they get shipments on Thursdays, BLs do. Or if you want to go to that one again, I can certainly go to the on on Route 1. I have to go down there to get gas anyways. I go there to get gas because the gas in the city and in Alexandria is just too high. Matter of fact, that would be best for me if it's okay with you so taht I can get gas at the same time. I can go on Thursday. What you think?

I'm looking for the G3/C3 (is that the same thing?), Avacado, Aloe Vera and Jabbawoky... Mainly the CONs and Leave Ins and Masks.

Whaddaya say?

According to Google Maps the only Big Lots within a reasonable distance from me (I don't have a car) will require an hour long trip and two buses.
I ride in 4 days.
