July 2017 What Did You Buy This Week?

[IDareT'sHair]

@YvetteWithJoy
I have not used Komaza's Pona, but I have used: Hairveda, Koils By Nature, BlueRoze Beauty's ACV Rinses.

I recently received a Kombucha Tea and ACV Rinse by Creme & Coco on a swap, but haven't tried it yet.

Will report back though on Cantu's.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I apologize in advance if this is obvious or easily knowable/searchable: Where did you purchase this from?

And, how do you use it? How do you apply it?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

I get most of my oils from eBay. I have not tried it yet, but I plan to oil rinse with it alone.

Thanks. I just got your same one from Ebay. Great price.

I'm so glad to have learned of this! I'm okay if it doesn't give me shine and/or tangle protection, but if it does, woo hoo!

Well I blame @Sharpened and it's funny because I have capric/caprylic triglycerides in here from like a year ago

@Saludable84 @Sharpened
I actually threw it in there to qualify for free Sipping.

I should have grabbed another Fractionated CO.

It will be interesting to compare the two. I put FCO on top of my DC'er today.

@Saludable84, @IDareT'sHair, and @AgeinATL, yay: I'll be curious to hear your comparisons of the Komaza Pona and the ACV Rinse.

I was going to trial the Pona. But then the ACV Rinse came on the scene. I've been wondering if the ACV Rinse suffices or if the Pona has more benefits.

My two cents: I don't consider the Pona to be a cleanser if you're wanting it for that purpose. To me, it helps your other cleanser get your scalp cleaner, if that makes sense? Plus it has the added scalp benefits with some of its ingredients (reduced itching, reduced flaking, less dryness).
The Cantu rinse appears to clean the scalp as is in my opinion. You don't have to use the Cantu as your sole cleanser (with absolutely nothing else) BUT you probably could in a pinch. The Pona cannot do that.

Wait, MCT is the same as fractionated coconut oil.

@Sharpened

DUH. Okay Cool. Glad I didn't get it then. Edumacate Me Sis.

I may use the MCT to cook with. It was named as a part of a Healthy eating plan I've been following.

@rileypak
I Agree.

I used it as part of my Cleansing regimen.

Not sure if I'd use it as my "Sole Cleanser"?

I think it would be capable of providing a very, very mild cleanse if you needed to quickly clean your scalp and run a little down your strands and obviously for protective styles.
Would I count on it to my only cleanser ever and that's it? Nope. But as a quick wash day alternative in a stash that has other cleansers to rely on, yes it's nice. For those wanting a scalp detox treatment, it's nice for that as well.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@rileypak Agreed.

So far, I like it.

I probably won't do too much experimenting with it though.

I bought this and returned it without using it, and now I keep looking at it! If you don't mind and it's not too much to ask, do you mind tagging me if you review it? Thank you in advance for any insight about its performance.

Exchange at Sally's (since my receipt was expired)

Returned: Eden Essentials Citrus Fusion Styling Mousse
In Exchange for: TxturePro by Wet Brush​

There was no other product around $10 bucks that I wanted, and I'm curious as to whether the brush will help define my curls (don't need a detangler).

I bout all of my moisturizers, conditioner and shampoo in 2016. I bout everything in supper quantities. I'm talking like about 50 of everything. And enough shampoo for about 80 or more wash days. I am so far from running out.

I did buy some hair rollers though. Oh and I'm going to buy a bonnet hair dryer. I think I spent less than $120.00 for all the hair products together. Oh wait it cost more, about 200.00. I got them from Pharmapacks.com. Don't think I'll run out until 2019 lol. I'm serious

@IDareT'sHair!

How do you manage? I have nowhere NEAR as much as you, and I don't feel I have a TON of products, but when I stop and count and re-arrange, I have about 20 products to sell/donate . . . 25 staples . . . and 30 other products that are okay/good and will be used but not repurchased. Many are samples, many were purchased on sale. Even so, with that I'm maxed out!

How do you manage it all? How many products do you have?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@YvetteWithJoy
No Clue on the #. But I do give away quite a bit (multiples).

I'm already stashin' for Fall/Winter. These recent Sales hopefully will curb BF spending. That and strategic pre-planning.

I also do quite a few 'swaps' from time to time which can be counter productive. Sometimes you can end up with that much more than you just traded.
