anyone?erplexed
PM me and I'll buy you one and post it to you in Paris. Alternatively I may be in Paris later in the month or next month and I will definitely be there in June for my DH's nephews christening so if you need a heap of stuff let me know then and I can meet you at say Gare Du Nord, Montparnasse or another central location.

Can't remember. More than a couple quid tho....
I'm off to Upton Park later for supplies so will see if I can find applicator bottles.
FYI - Ladies who are able to get to Upton Park there is a newish (opened about 6 months ago) hair shop called Julia in the market which sells afro hair product cheaper than most places. For those who are familiar with the area, it's just past Supergrows (another great hair and beauty shop). I used to get most of my hair stuff from Supergrows until Julia's opened. I still go back if Julia does not have what I want.
Another hair shops in the the area is Queens Cosmetics which has two shops one of which sells hair and beauty products and the other sells hair extensions, wigs and weaves etc. http://queenscosmetics.co.uk/index.html

I can't see any online european suppliers of LeKair, how about Lustrasilk Cholesterol? There seems to be a lot of european supplier online. I want to try Lustrasilk Cholesterol + Shea Butter & Mango.

^^^ I personally think that the Lustrasilk is MUCH better than the LeKair. But I suppose its you hairs preference at the end of the day 
Btw why don't you check out Nunaavane (aka Vanessa) on youtube she uses cholesterol products and is based in Riennes in Brittany so if she can find products in Riennes I am sure you can find them in Paris.

I haven't used either. What Lustrasilk Cholesterol have you used? There seems to be so many different ones.

the shea butter and mango one... do not buy the placenta one as there are health risks associated with placent hair products. also i heard the olive oil one is not as good.

I will probably give it a try
I love Nuuaavane's You Tube videos. She's the reason why I want to try Lustrasilk's shea butter and mango. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5izFKderg
Placenta in hair products really does not appeal to me.

Ok came across these by chance:
http://afrodesire.com/index.php?main_page=index (had lace front wigs and some products, I'm not into wigs so I don't know if the quality is good)
http://www.georginas-online.co.uk/index.php (had usual products plus wigs/weaves and other stuff)

Does anyone in London know where I can get Biolage Cera Repair? I'm looking for a ceramide but I can't be bothered to mix it into my DC so I just want a product so I can apply it to my hair and then apply a DC. Are there alternatives to Biolage Cera Repair? If so, which ones?

^^^You can buy it directly from My Hair and Beauty in Finsbury Park (it's a couple of doors down from Paks). It's useful when I want something immediately and not have to pay out the shipping.
An alternative to Biolage Cera Repair is the Kerastase line, but I'm just going to stick with Biolage as it works for me.

I buy mine on eBay from a seller called Suzie Mitch and I get about 10 vials (the salon treatment not the at home tubes) for about 14 -15 GBP.
Another alternative is the one Cream Tee mentioned which I have also heard good things about but never used as I am very happy with my Matrix Biolage. Its quite easy to mix in as vials bc its like a liquid so when I am getting my DC mix together this is what I do in a small bowl:
3 tbs of ANY Moisturising conditioner (e.g. motions, ORS, moisturefuse, hydrafuse, fulfyl, joico moisture recovery, matrix biolage ultra hydrating balm etc)
1 tbsp Reconstructor/ Protein conditioner (e.g. kpak or aphogee)
1/4 Teaspoon Pure Silk Amino Acids
1 vial of Matrix Biolage Ceramides
1-tbsp Wheat-germ Oil (also a Ceramide - you could also use Kukui or Sunflower oils which are also Ceramides)
1-tbsp Olive Oil
Also I saw some Brazilian Ceramide products in PAK recently called SKALA.
I am also going to start mixing the vials into my spritzes and other moisturisers. I would also strongly suggest you get the Mizani H20 Nigh-time Intense as this is really the business for a leave in treatment which you use overnight 2 -3 times a week like a moisturiser. This is one of the things I cannot live without. Even if I move country they will ship this stuff to me where-ever I am

I know what you mean...but I watched a lot of YT videos for tips and it doesn't snag at all.
ICurlformers. I am thinking of starting a thread for curlformers tips. I am still perfecting my technique.
Please do. I'm totally an addict! I'm curlforming right now!
Hi Stellagirl76
Have you tried Mega-Tek yet? If so, how is it? I've finally decided to try it. I was a bit weary because of the fact that it can also be used on animals, but having done my research, my PJism is rearing it's ugly head again!
I want to mix it with my JBCO and maybe with coconut oil.

All of the BSS sell them, but I'm not sure of the quality. I still haven't bought any yet I think it would be gorgeous for my rollersetting.
ETA: Ese's link looks a lot nicer, think I will order from there, thanks again!
I'm thinking of making my own moisturiser. It's either going to be rose water and jojoba oil or plain old water and jojoba oil.
I was tempted to add aloe vera gel but someone told me that it's got protein in it and I don't want to overload because I already use the 2 minute treatment every week.
