What JBCO is everyone using? I read a recent thread where posters commented that Tropic Isle is diluted.

I would like to know, too.

The shedding has stopped, thank God. I guess my hair hates Mizani products because I went to the salon and had the stylist use Moroccan oil products and the shedding stopped, this is a pic of the line she used;

Did you hair respond well to this? It's been on my list for a minute now but I'm too cheap :look:

I tried the Sally's knockoff and it was useless.

Yes, my hair responded well. My appt was Sunday and so far so good, still moisturized and shiny and bouncy, my shedding also stopped. I'll report back next week with an update.

I'm looking forward to washing my hair later. I'm pretty much going to repeat last wash day.

Therapiste prewash
Giovanni 2Chic Ultra Moist shampoo
Thermasmooth with heat (30 mins)
Blow dry with Frizz Ease cream

I faithfully use Tropic Isle with no issues. I don't use only the ones with the different fragrances, they are diluted with other oils.

Oh brother, The Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Style Milk (topped with a hair oil) is fantastic as a daily moisturizer for my hair because of the silk protein(I'm guessing). My hair is moisturized ALL DAY!

If anyone knows a substitute from another black owned line please let me know. Otherwise........ Imma have to keep using it. :look:

I feel like Hairveda has half the products they used to.

I asked Natty Naturals if I could purchase samples. She replied back that samples will soon be restocked. :up:

I need to detangle and wash my hair, but I don't want to. I dislike 'day one' hair.

I am tempted to try the mask and serum from the Nth Degree line, even though they contain silicone. The reasons: I need a replacement for the SM hipo mask, and I want to try the ingredients helichrysum and hyaluronic acid. JC Penny's carries this line, I believe.

I'm not going to lie: sometimes I miss my straight hair. Especially after seeing people and pics like this:

This girl might just be natural... The stylist is awesome at doing silk press on natural hair. She did a vid doing a silk press on herself and it came out gorgeous- let me find it.

eta: she calls it a dry wrap

I dont want nothing else. If im in pain at $30 why would i want to add another $20. Why my hair gotta love things it cant have?? Any one got a coupon code?

Did you buy it? Is there any healthfoos stores close to you that carry it?

Love her technique. I follow her on YT.

I want to get some hair products to do my hair for Mother's Day, instead of sitting in the shop. I need to do my nails and other things today, since I got a ton of running around to do tomorrow.

No I couldn't justify it. I decided to give soultanicals marula-muru moisture guru a shot instead.

Her hair is very similar to mine when I was natural, does anyone know her hair type? Thanks

Growing up my mom pressed my hair every 2wks using good ole grease and a hotcomb. My hair stayed nice and straight even though I was running around outside. Fast-forward to now and my roots revert after a week when I get it flatironed at the salon, and I'm relaxed. So was it my mom's technique that was better or does the grease help prevent reversion??? I may have to revisit the hotcomb grease combo.

@vevster my HG is the LP detangler. I actually have all the ingredients but I decided to use almond butter and almond oil instead. I'll make it tonight and test it out this weekend.

Sacha inchi continues to break my heart.

For me, stove tools always seem to get the hair straighter for longer, vs electric.

She looks to be 4a to me but typing is very subjective.

Thanks, I've always thought I'm a 4a.

Have you all seen this?

It's $8.19 with your Sally's card. Link. If they do the whole line, it could get very interesting. :look:

ETA: They've got a Curl and Style Milk dupe too.

Technique, the tool and the grease

Sometimes I use keracare cream press on my roots to prevent reversion
