Just to let you all know Holland and Barrett have the following items on offer. I don't use all of these products but have heard some are good for hair. I don't want to go overboard on vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin B Complex - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=60&prodid=607

Time released Vitamin B Complex - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=107&prodid=196

Silica Complex - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=71&prodid=45

Skin, Hair & Nails Formula - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=247&prodid=327

Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=67&prodid=414

Peppermint pure essential oil - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=282&prodid=525

Rosemary pure essential oil - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=482&prodid=454

100% pure tea tree oil - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=272&prodid=341

There are lots of other EO's on offer too.

I will def be stocking up on Silica Complex. I have been taking Biotin for about two months now and I'm getting a few spots (I don't usually get this many!) so will try Vit B Complex to see if it helps.

My edges are picking up nicely but I'm not sure whether this is because of Biotin and/or JBCO. Who knows it could be neither! Just waiting for the crown area to fill in now. erplexed

Ahhh this thread is a blessing lol but awful @ the same time i just finished making a list of staples to buy now i'm re-evaluating things.

Blaque*Angel those fragrances sound good! I can't wait for your website PpositivelyRadient- Do you still have any Giovanni to offer i would like to try some

Oh yeah for herbs and stuff baldwins is good
http://www.baldwins.co.uk/

i get my cassia/ indigo from here when i feel like but i will be buying from reviveholistic

Baldwins also sell other ayurvedic herbs and the lily of dessert aloe vera gel and aubrey organic stuff. However if you have one local even better, as i go to the one in walworth road

 

[ladychoong]

Oh and Dadu's in tooting that's where i get my Karishma henna from a 500g bag for £3.25 at the time and the smaller boxes for 99p each.

If anyone is interested in the ayurvedic shampoo bars like Godrej and the other popular one(forgot the name) I've seen it in there for £1.99 but i'm not sure if the price has gone up or if they still sell it

And they also sell the hesh ayurvedic powders i believe for £2 a box

 

[Ganjababy]

Anyone in the UK interested in a half bottle of Dreamhair BKT and shampoo for free. I will ship to you. (2 applications left in the bottle). PM me if interested.

That Silica looks amazing :scratchch - you are effectively getting 35g Silica a day which is not bad and a decent amount of Mg, Ca and Zn !

Off to buy Silica.....

[Ganjababy]

Due to reasons unrelated to the BKT, my hair fell out and I had to BC last night so I wont be bkt'ing any time soon.

Now's a good time to stock up as it's on offer

 

[catgurl]

Hey ladies,

I just bought a 3 Roots Only applicators from this site:

http://www.rootsonly.com/

There was a thread about these on LHCF on this a few days ago...or maybe it was last week?

Anyway, I'm hoping that it will make it easier to apply my Megatek mix more consistently. Will let you know how it goes.

BTW, if any of you ladies are on the fence about MT, IT WORKS! I got noticable thickness

 

[Endlesslegs]

Ahh! Should have read till the end of the thread, just pm'd you for the bkt evsbaby before reaslising pr got there first lol.

I guess I'll order from the states . Does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced bkt here in the UK? I had the treatment done last year at a dominican salon in new york and I promised i'd do it again when I reach apl. Its that time

 

[Sunrise]

That second link sells some lovely stuff, but is it safe to use in the hair?

Just got an email back from Sensory Perfection

thanks for your enquiry.
Yes, as long as they are used in the same way as for leave-on applications e.g. lotions, as per the usage levels on the MSDS sheets; these vary but to give you an idea a general safe average is 1-2% (1 to 2 grams fragrance per 100 grams of base solution).
It's always a good idea to test a small area and see how this works for you.
Hope this helps, many thanks,
Jo

I got some MT last week. Went 50/50 with a friend just in case I didn't like it. How long have you been using it? Did you experience shedding like some people have mentioned?

 

[Vintageglam]

I will post it Fri

Thanks so much evsbaby

Btw I just saw your thread on your BC, so sorry for the hair issues you are having. Your bc is beautiful.

Have you tried MT?

I can send you some if you like?

x Stella

 

[Vintageglam]

Btw ladies I got my Joico Cuticle sealer yesterday and I used it today after my Aphogee 2-step and moisture DC (Matrix Biolage mixed with cholesterol).

I like this stuff a lot more than the Roux Porosity Control so I think I am gonna have to give up the Roux as this baby is here to stay. It is a bit more expensive that the Roux but my hair likes it more. I cannot tell you how much a diff this stuff made to my hair.

Anyway if anyone wants a 2/3 full bottle of Roux Porosity control please let me know and I will send it to you. Just send me your address.

x Stella

 

[Vintageglam]

It's great - made a real freakin diff to my hair the aphogee 2 step also curbed my breakage dead in its tracks as well as the home made jherri juice I have been using for a few days now...

I've been using it since Jan. At first I was apply it at night it 5 days per week, diluted with water and mixed with jojoba oil. I got massive shedding and it scared me. I never really worried about shedding before but this was different!

I reduced to 3 days a week and started taking garlic supplements. The Shedding stopped immediately. Sometimes I open up the supplements and add them directly to my mix, but often I just a take a garlic pill in the morning that I am planning to do MT.

My left side has always been thinner and slower to grow. As my hair has gotten longer its become more noticable. At first I only applied to the left side because I just wanted to even up, but then after 4 weeks by left side was much thicker than the right! So I apply it all over and 3 months after MT my hair soooo thick! I've also grown nearly 2in in that time. No miracles lenght wise but still good!

Oooh! Me! I'll take it! I've just started to use PC and my hair loves it!

I use MT by itself on my sides and crown area and mix 50/50 with JBCO everywhere else. As I am currently wearing extension I won't experience any shedding until I take them out. There is alway a fair bit of shedding so I won't be too alarmed if it's more than usual. I will get some garlic capsule from H&B. My right side has always been thinner than my left side. I have been told that this is probably due to the fact that I mainly sleep on my right side. 2 inches of growth sounds good to me!

Darn it! Catgurl beat me to the Roux lol.

I got my new steamer !!!

I was going to buy this model below brand new for about 350 GBP:

...... but then I found a "used" one (same model) on eBay for 99 GBP !!!


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330416344001&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT


Anyhooooo it arrived today by courier and I am going to give her a whirl tomorrow !!!

She fits in my hallways cupboard with my hoover and other stuff but now there is no space for my suitcases and other junk so now I have to sell my beloved hood dryer

But I am just happy to have found this steamer for less than a third of the retail price. The lady I bought it from had clearly not used it much..... (she told me she used it about 4 times).

Aphogee 2 step- is where its at

2 hairs lost in the last two days, compared to this time last week which looked like a murder scene.....

Catgurl - pls send that address sooner rather than later as I am off on Hols on Tuesday morning. Other wise I will send it when I get back in May.

 

[LushLox]

Great deal Stella - you are the queen of bargains!

Due to reasons unrelated to the BKT, my hair fell out and I had to BC last night so I wont be bkt'ing any time soon.

Sorry to hear about your hair evsbaby. As others have said your BC looks lovely. Your hair will be back before you know it

[Ganjababy]

You are welcome! I have MT and Ovation. I am too lazy to apply everynight though. I am such a product junky, I need rehab. I am just glad it is not going to waste

I got it

I tried Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends and all I can say is wow!
As a leave in it was good and as a moisturiser it made sweet love to my hair.

 

[LushLox]

How often do you intend on steaming your hair Stella?

We must do a steam challenge!

ETA: Yeah I've been using the HE Beautiful Ends too, it's okay, not sure if I like it as much as my ORS Shea Butter though. I'll keep using it though til it's finished.

Guys, whatever you do, don't buy Jojoba oil from Holland & Barrett. I spent £10 on the oil and I started using it on my face. Within a week I developed a really horrible rash and I'm now struggling to rectify that.
I don't normally react to products so after doing research I found out that Jojoba oil that's extremely golden in colour is not pure and has been refined so much that the goodness has been lost. And some people can develop a rash on their body... I guess I'm one of them.
