I started this personal challenge around July-ish 2013. The items listed are roughly from July – December 2013.</font></p> <p><font size="2">So here is my first official use up the stash list, I was even more motivated to carry this challenge. When I went for the bag and saw how many items I have faithfully emptied. I’ve already put up another bag in my bathroom, in preparation for session #2 starting from January 2014. I’ve even gone through my stash and took out all the items I aiming to use up by around June of this year.

It’s thick and you can see the butter/oils in this treatment. It sort of resembles ‘greek yoghurt’. I was expecting it to come in a jar but it turn up in a bottle o.O </font></p> <p><font size="2">You will see in my demo video how I was shaking that bottle to get the product out. I eventually gave up and took the cover off lol That is the only gripe I have about this </font><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WMtXxb3-n7A/UsMKLg-LDqI/AAAAAAAADbI/9OGhlhI16mw/s1600-h/PC2907394.jpg"><font size="2"><img title="PC290739" style="float: right; display: inline" alt="PC290739" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Yui9i6vCjIg/UsMKOdY7yOI/AAAAAAAADbQ/HRy7ieHD730/PC290739_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" align="right" height="180"></font></a><font size="2">product.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Now unto its performance as previously mentioned it’s thick, creamy and have a nice butter/oil base. As soon as it made contact with my hair. My hair did indeed melt and instantly puff ups [which lead me to believe there is somewhat an element of liquid in this product – there’s a wet feel to it].</font></p> <p><font size="2">You can see how my fingers easily gliding through my hair. I was even pulling off shed hairs continuously off both my fingers and palm. I ended up leaving this pre-treatment on overnight – >.< because I was lazy.</font></p> <p><font size="2">It claims it will leave the scalp some what cleansed, and I must say it feel feel my scalp decent, there was very little build-up on my scalp. I was expecting to shampoo after as it was left on overnight. But I did not need to do so, I went on to applying my DC on top of this pre-poo the next day </font></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6BlmzvXdERoerRF_ijMl7BhbNMK5KvGsgip_5CJxlEPGbRt1mmStX_rtaGX4Vb1LpoTLk3LTP2Qk86gLJ2hgZr_tZ5Nu-Wr-PDEje2KodKaXrVORqdNMQQ-7SlIBHlrTIgCGal3s483_n/s1600-h/PC2907504.jpg"><font size="2"><img title="PC290750" style="float: left; display: inline" alt="PC290750" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-XR5daCGqOIw/UsMKVHwlmII/AAAAAAAADbg/jGAKi5ClijE/PC290750_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" align="left" height="180"></font></a></p> <p><font size="2">I can not complain as this product did deliver and does what it said it would do.

Remember I pre-poo overnight with coconut oil.

It cleansed just like a sulfate / border line a clarifying shampoo o.O.</font></p> <p><font size="2">I am not impressed with the results of this shampoo, it left my hair some what stiff and on the dry side.

I’m actually loving this stuff. It gave me really nice result in terms of definition [that I actually like], softness and sheen. I was a little hesitant when I first saw it on sale and decide to order it. I am not a fan of gel / gel-like-products. I did look up some YT reviews on it and it had very good reviews. But I was still on the fence on how it will work for me. As you can see from the [pics] I have two jars, one [1] 6oz tub and a 16oz tub.

Where I have to wash in sections and wet each section down thoroughly with water prior to product application. So with that being said I pour out too much for my first application, wow you would have thought i was having a bubble-bath shower lol After that I cut back for the other 3 section of my hair.</font></p> <p><font size="2">It rinsed well even though it is concentrated, it leave the hair clean, I did notice that i could have done another lather up for a cleaner scalp. But to be honest I think it is not necessarily the shampoo fault as I did use quite a bit of product for styling my hair during the week prior to me using this shampoo.</font></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuuEqfvTSO96ppF3-vGiZJgGzGpSevvZtTszH-CT1y-mmRxupufil8QMD1O95A6wyra0IeWm4VGxWI_POjcRFDz-kTHOokaJYinIwAE1E1_JkqnsKfwmEMu_FmPBuKCsE3Nwt4enndXtbI/s1600-h/P8161320%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font size="2"><img title="P8161320" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="P8161320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiyP4b0sxvOCgn6IGAQVZ5XbOuWVNpUZ0bn7xkCd0YRGHUx_XQyHR5L-uHFgqlyw5BtuN1LObqZTTrb3xsd93LRZSBqGhJ05oL0Z7X1UnFgNNhazmrnvXHgZz_2f_x3knk1FNELlqxeH_/?imgmax=800" width="350" height="262"></font></a></p> <p><font size="2"></font> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Ru5bX8-z2_c/Ug9fyZUOHbI/AAAAAAAACvc/PDkPSrTRPb0/s1600-h/P8161327%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font size="2"><img title="P8161327" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="P8161327" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LIqq0OhhHLQ/Ug9fy_xm65I/AAAAAAAACvk/EPM4miuj2MA/P8161327_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="262"></font></a></p> <p><font size="2">The above pics are the lather up session and the results after I rinsed my hair out.

It’s 1 year ago after 24 months of transitioning that I cut off my texlaxed ends. Unfortunately I didn’t do anything special to my hair on the day >.< lame I know. I will around to doing some more hair photos for those who would like to see my progress and I will also do a length check comparison also.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Nevertheless, Last night momentarily madness took over and I decide on old twisted up hair to experiment with some flexi-rod. I took down each twisted section and separated into smaller section spritz with AVJ+water and seal with my shea butter mix. and went to flexi-rod setting. I slept in them for the night and took them down today and fluff some.</font></p> <p><font size="2">I like it actually, a bit frizzy, since it was done in a moment of madness.

Waste of a DC session. For that reason it has been sitting under my sink for a little while. Results was not favourable.</font></p> <p><font size="2">I decide to try it again, but using it my way. I shampoo my hair then I apply it to damp hair and it gave great ease for detangling I then sat under my steamer for 30mins and let my hair cool down and then rinse. </font><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-yMGXr116Y24/UJD7HdTuWuI/AAAAAAAACpY/cdmWEz8QYRk/s1600-h/PA2015365.jpg"><font size="2"><img style="display: inline; float: right" title="PA201536" alt="PA201536" align="right" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFIz5vW0L9UQe5AJG-AyLRjU9me7lWfpzsqABWrk2TP6qnsLM6O2_cDk2swVUZfhyphenhyphenmGox-KsW-J7GhmfrMlHGmr_77cMlUaRxGaFsVUB0rlXFV4XbV6M7V5swD52JNYazPugsS_89Jjf0/?imgmax=800" width="200" height="150"></font></a></p> <p><font size="2">OMG was my hair silky smooth and so soft and manageable, I had to feel and see if my hair was going to stay on my head. I kid you not it was so soft, detangling was so easy, no snagging and the knots really came apart easily. I got only 3 uses from this 325ml/11fl oz. I think it was due to the fact that the first use was done on dry hair. I believe I could’ve gotten way more use if I had use it my way; which is on freshly shampooed hair, them allow to dry and apply to damp hair.</font></p> <p><font size="2">The smell has now grown on me, it has a light under tone of lavender and lavender is among the ingredients. For some reason I can not smell that medicine smell it had when I first used it. All in all it is a good conditioner and may make its way on my staple list.</font></p> <p><font size="2"><strong>Price:</strong> $8.36@ vitadost.com</font></p> <p><font size="2"><strong>Rating:</strong> 5/5</font></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16590409077615862607noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025994734147522941.post-129673425840015572012-10-13T22:41:00.000+01:002012-10-14T15:36:16.086+01:00Twist-Out Then……, Twist-Out Now!<p>Some more style I played with when I BC earlier on this year [March 2012] this was one of my first twist-out and braid-outs and chunky twist out dos are my friend.
