Well, since I've eliminated Java Bean I guess I can get x2 Jars of Bel Nouvo's Amaretto Cream.

I need to add it to my list. I don't think I had Bel Nouvo on my list?

@IDareT'sHair @rileypak i love palm oil on my hair. Something about it. But y'all know my hair doesn't fair well with thin consistencies.

Palm oil reacts a bit like mango butter and coconut oil on my hair - it makes it stiff if it's too high in the ingredient list and not mixed with a bunch of other oils and butters my hair loves.

@rileypak
So, you've never bought Whiskey-Vanilla?

Long ago when I was relaxed and the quinoa protein in it made my hair hard and tangly. I've skipped it ever since.

@rileypak
Oh that's right. It sure does. DUH. Yeah, I know you don't like/use that.

I will pull out Type4 and have Buttery Soy on Stand-By

Yeah, you do that! I totally approve

Ahhhhh.... gotcha. Like Shea Butter and Avocado Oil for me. I totally understand.

I revisited the VW Natural because relaxed it was a bit strong, but now it's really perfect. I don't recommend you revisit unless you want to research. I never threw my jar out so it kind helped me. Quinoa I used to hate for the same reason. Now, quinoa and my hair want to be friends but I usually can't let the past be.

 

[Saludable84]

@IDareT'sHair Buttery Soy is more like moisturizer for me and Type 4 like sealer.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Saludable84
Thanks for the tip on Buttery Soy vs Type4.

I liked Vanilla-Whiskey both Relaxed and now Natural. No problem here with Quinoa.

OT: At some point, I will have to finally have to pull out QB's AOHC and BRBC. I can't keep stockpiling them and just holding on to them.

That's another one that's so cost prohibitive it seems like I buy it but don't use it because it's so expensive to replace.

I need to do an impromptu Inventory but I'm afraid........

I did mine earlier. My stash has grown since being in the no buy.

How Sway?

Let me send my mother a package right quick.

I plan to do one for the open stuff when I feel better in the next few days

@rileypak @Saludable84
I just remembered I have Alikay's Shea Yogurt. I may use this instead.

It's a one-off. I only have x1 and just want to see what it's about. If it should be repurchased or not?

Although I think I can get it OTG.

@rileypak
I sure hope you feel better soon Ms. Lady

I have Sinus issues so I know what that's like.

 

[Saludable84]

@IDareT'sHair I feel you about QB. Great products but not cost effective. That's why I leave them for winter. It's only one season and I'm pretty light handed on that stuff.

Let me go mosey on over to Bel Nouvo site..... again..... Im not making no carts.

ETA: Alikay is in Target

 

[Saludable84]

@rileypak feel better! The weather change is no joke. Myself and a few parents at work already got our bugs from our kids and I have bad allergy so the high mold now is making it worse.

Makes you so miserable.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Yeah in Alikay I have:
x1 Shea Yogurt
x1 Avocado DC'er
x1 16oz Honey & Sage DC'er

I've tried the Honey & Sage before. Haven't tried the Avocado Cream or the Shea Yogurt.

@Saludable84
Last year Bel Nouvo offered Sweet Potato Pie and Red Velvet and they were both Great!

This year I think they are offering Amaretto and a Black-berry one?

Yeah, I said I can get Alikay OTG.

I'll wait until around BF or after to pull out QB.

@Saludable84
I'd like to get some more KeraVada Oils. I don't have many Oils like this.

I have several from HV, but those oils were "special". The price got really costly and the Sales stopped.

I wish they would have a good Sale. I never get anything from them anymore about Sales, Discounts etc.....I may have 1/2 bottle left.

I also have their Crème Brulee Hair Cream/Lotion.

@flyygirlll2
What Creams/Butters are you using right now?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@curlyhersheygirl
Hey Curl.

You get your Hair finished up? What did you use?

 

[flyygirlll2]

I should do a quick inventory of my stash, but I just can't be bothered. I have products stashed everywhere in this place so that would be tiring. I've just been giving away stuff in order to help deplete it a bit.

Speaking of quinoa protein, I gave away both the Devacurl Decadence cleanser and conditioner. My hair didn't respond well the last time I used them.

 

[Saludable84]

@IDareT'sHair
I might as BN to my BF list.

It could take me 2-3 months to use those jars of QB I have. I used the CTDG 5 times already and my jar is 90% full. Now that I'm washing 1x a week (unless I need that extra wash) I wouldn't finish that jar until V-day.

Buttery Soy I've used 2 or 3 times and it's 90% full.

I just used the TMN Capuacu BC and I used just the residue on the cap from twist off on 75% of my head.

Do you style soaking wet or damp?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
Yeah, having it in multiple places makes it difficult. I do "try" to keep mine somewhat contained.

If it was everywhere, that would drive me crazy!

@IDareT'sHair
I just got through doing exactly that
Thankfully I realized that my DC situation has greatly improved from last year. I finally have a reasonable number of DC's now I just have to keep telling myself not to stockpile anymore.

It depends.

I used AE garlic since you mentioned it.
I'm so glad I started oil rinsing a few weeks back 'cuz now its freezing here.

Their oils are so excellent but the price KILLS me!!!!!

@curlyhersheygirl
I can't bring myself to do it Ms. C!

Glad you went from Fourfiddy to Threefiddy.
