2018 Curlyproverbz-inspired Regimen Challenge

[keranikki]

Why is it that every time I get an email from Belle Bar about CurlyProverbs products, I read it in her accent? I'm going to bed.

I finally received a shipping notice from Belle Bar, they take too long I won't be ordering from them again!

Where are they shipping from?

Like @keranikki asked, Where are they shipping from and where do you live? I believe they are in England but not sure. Also how long is too long in your opinion? I was thinking about ordering the tea. My shipping address is in Florida but I live in the Bahamas.

 

[Aggie]

okay couldn't wait. I ordered the tea a second ago because I don't have any of those amazing herbs she has in her tea. I bought the 24 rinse package especially if shipping is slow. This way, if I like the tea rinse, I will order another package when I'm on my last 6 rinses .

I already make her fenugreek-infused oil and love it.

I think I would like to add tea spraying every other day or so (with AVJ as my base) and the weekly henna gloss (with baby banana food as my base).

I don't know about those prices, though!

I think I'm just going to DIY it completely and invest in all those herbs from a supplier.

Also, looks like she took vitamin C and MSM orally. Hmm. I remember an LHCF poster saying MSM gave her crazy nightmares. Anyone have a review of MSM (taken orally)?

I take Vitamin C not MSM orally. I put 1/2 tsp of MSM in my oil though. I read the same post about a member having nightmares. I don't want that kind of trouble.
Yes her items are pricy, so I am going to make my own blends. The only way I would order is if they were having a sale. I did a tea spray this weekend using diluted AVJ as a base. I'm wearing my hair straight right now, so I haven't tested it out as daily spray. I also love the fenugreek infused oil. I'm going to use a henna gloss this weekend to see if my hair likes it. Let me know how the bananas work got you.

How long was the wait for a shipping confirmation? I also order items from the West Coast (Oregon) and it usually takes two days to process and receive my tracking number.

Within 5 to 7 days. They make it fresh they say

Me no likey. You could order the individual ingredients and make your own stuff in the same time it took them to process the order.

 

[SimplyWhole]

I just made the tea based on her ingredients from the website. I had all the ingredients except hops. I also made the fenugreek infused oil however I am waiting for my aloe vera powder to arrive. I'm on target to start 10/15. I'm still watching videos to learn.

 

[LadyPBC]

Subscribing to lurk. Will probably try some stuff. I'm in a rut with my hair so I keep it covered. Maybe this will be helpful. Three months is not too bad.

 

[Keen]

I'm using nettle tea because that's what I was using for my hair loss. I'll check to see what's on her tea rinse.

 

[shanelallyn30]

I’m confused.

I thought she said she hit roughly shoulder length as a natural and hit a plateau. Then she started researching and experimenting with Ayurveda and started seeing good results.

Yvette, I think what you should take from her is not how long she got there, but how successful she was at getting there. You started the challenge to be consistent, so stick with it and see how far it gets you. You don’t want to mess too much with speeding up growth because it will also speed up hair fall.

I’m going to stop rambling.

I so agree with this.

Update to post #2:

I added a video showing wash day. It entails prepooing with the DIY oil, detangling with (any) conditioner, cleansing with 1 of 4 DIY clay mixes, applying leave-in, then applying the DIY oil.

I'm in. I already follow her routine with a few tweaks for my hair.

I used to have weird dreams but it's been a few years of me taking MSM, no more nightmares at the moment.

Do you mind sharing your regi?

 

[Saga]

Just made the Ayurvedic tea yesterday, added a few drops of Sweet Orange Oil to give it a more fresh scent. I just spray it directly on my braids and a bit at the roots.

 

[mzteaze]

I use the CP oil on my scalp.
I henna gloss on Sundays, use the tea rinse on my scalp as a MID STEP (between shampoo & conditioner) followed by a DC.
On Wednesdays I use a protein conditioner. So far, I'm retaining hair length really well & not shedding as much as before I started with the glosses.

In between cleaning, I use a little hair cream in my ends & massage the oil into my scalp. I'm thinking about making a whipped cream infused with the CP oil as the best of both worlds. I'll update when I get to that mix.

I DIY'd the tea. That cost me about $12. I posted a picture of the container in the ayurvedic thread. It's enough for nearly a year (i think).

I would have done this if I had all the ingredients but I don't have any of them so I bought the tea. Plus it's easy just to make it since it's already perfectly belended. I love Curly Proverbz and I really want to help her business a little bit so I purchased the tea from her site for this reason alone. I may make the next batch if I choose to purchase the herbs at some point. Still not sure about that yet. Buying the 24 tea rinse option was way more cost effective than buying the 3 rinse option. It just made more fiscal sense.

Thank you so much! That's what I'm talking about! $1 per month on average.

I think I'm going to support her as well. I will likely purchase a 3-month supply of a hair mask and tea. I'll wait to see if there's a sale. Then after that, I'll likely DIY (or should I say DIM? ).

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I finger detangled my untwisted hair with . . . and am currently prepooing with . . . a DIY batch of the oil. I massaged some into my scalp. Hair is sectioned using Goody Ouchless Updo barrettes (the smaller ones).

Next up: First-time trial of Aveda products

1. Cleanse scalp and strands: HairPrint Chelating Shampoo
2. Deep condition: Aveda Smooth Infusion Intense Smoothing Masque
3. Leave-in: none, so that I can assess the effects of the Aveda styler alone
4. Styler: Aveda Be Curly Curl Controller
5. Ends sealant: Jakeala Shiloh Ayurvedic Hair Balm
   Styling: Wash and go (to see if this product combo makes the wng look and experience better)

Awesome. Per her NYC video, the company supporting her products ARE black owned, something I would have loved to support.

You will notice, if you hunt for the pictures I posted, that I call the mix "YouTuber's hair tea", not specifically any name associated with CP.

Also, keep in mind, they (Belle Bar) had a 48-hour flash sale in September with the caveat that they rarely, if ever, have sales. So it will be interesting to see what they decide to do for Black Friday / cyber Monday.

 

[beauti]

It sounds like most of you ladies are using the products she uses at the moment? I'm using teas, oils, and butters she made way back that attributed to her growth. For instance her first tea spritz didn't have 50/11 ingredients like her current one.

I would like some butters and deep conditioning mask. But I'm not buying yet. I have lots of stuff I need to get rid of. I'm forcing myself to use them. But if Belle Bar has a black Friday sale, I'm definitely buying.

BTW guys, I baggy my entire hair a few times a week. My hair likes that and it force me to massage my scalp more. It gets itchy under there.

I have been thinking about this.

If the newest recipe at least contains all of the original recipe's ingredients, perhaps it's all good? IDK.
