What's your latest hair purchase?

[Carrie's hair]

Barwa - vinegar conditioner, 200ml
Marion - silicone serum with argan oil for hair ends, 15ml (small version for a bag)
I also got silicone serum Garnier Fructis - Miraculous Oil, 150ml from my dear friend <3.

[lapushka]

These brushes (both colors) at Aldi (4.99 euro a piece). And what's interesting is that the inner center is totally "mobile" for some reason. I don't know if the "Wet brushes" have that too.
https://www.aldi.be/nl/onze-aanbiedingen/zaterdag-aanbiedingen/haarborstel-9027.article.html

I have put one aside for my wash tomorrow, and I will be detangling with it pre-wash (dry), instead of using my Tangle Teezer knock-off.

Just a quick review. Don't know where else to put it. I just tried this brush and it is *amazeballs*! Everyone in Belgium, get thee to an Aldi and get this brush. If you love a Wet Brush, you will *love* this one. The inner bits move with the detangling process and you have to get used to that a bit, but it doesn't tug or pull and it gets every difficult knot out just like that! Love this thing! :inlove:

Cool ! The budget stores often come up with good products. Last year I bought a wooden BBB from Lidl - German made, 3 year guarantee and unlike some, the bristles are long enough to actually penetrate my hair. It cost £1.50 !

[C_Bookworm]

Trader Joe’s shampoo bar. Super psyched to try it out!

£1.50 that's a great deal. :) :thumbsup: I got my first Wet Brush dupes from Action, for €1.49, and then later they were like €1. I think they weren't selling well, but these brushes are amazing, and if you have long(er) hair, you need all the help you can get.

These Aldi ones now even are better than the regular ones, and that's saying something. They were selling really well, though, because I think 2/3rds of them were left and it was the day when the promo went live, around noon.

I am no longer willing to spend around 10 euro or even over for a name brand (like Tangle Teezer), when the knock-offs are so good!

[Hedwig]

I got a 1L bottle of Pureology Strength Cure shampoo for 22 euro :cool: I think the online shop is getting rid of their entire Pureology inventory and everything is on crazy sales.

[Raiwen]

Garnier Banana Hair Food and it made my hair feel soft and nice :o I got it on a recommendation of a local reviewer, she is always trying to find products without harmful ingredients. :)

[lapushka]

They had sold out of all the brushes at Aldi! Well that teaches me to gush all over them all over the place. :lol: ;) :p I got 4 in total, so that should last me a while, through things breaking and wearing out and such.

[Bri-Chan]

Pantene pro-v mousse for curly hair. The ingredients list is very different from my previous mousse, so I'm curious.

[Dark40]

Today I purchased 2 bottles of Hair, skin, and nails vitamins by "Nature's Bounty," from Walmart for $8.97 each. I'm really looking forward to getting back on track with taking these vitamins! Because, in the past they've really helped my hair to grow healthier, longer, and faster! As you know, if your hair is healthy it will grow longer, right?

[Ylva]

A few 250 ml bottles of Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect conditioner.

[wishy]

I picked up a Korean protein hair mask because it was so highly rated on Amazon (Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment). I used it for the first time yesterday and my hair was SO freaking soft. Loved it!

[Lisa Long4Life]

I bought some Lottabody setting lotion, some Suavecita pomade and some crochet curlers.

[TwilightMermaid]

Miss Jessie's Coily Custard. It's a nice change from LA Looks gel because its plant-based and less drying.

[TwilightMermaid]

Today I just bought some Shea Moisture shea butter and the new Trader Joe's Peppermint & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar. The bar smells soooo good.

[Ylva]

I ordered a Four Reasons toning mask in the shade pearl.

[Mariekeeee14]

I bought citric acid to replace ACV as my final rinse. I love that it doesn’t smell and that i can use warmer water. It’s a keeper:cheese:

I found it really useful to take the powder/granules away on holiday rather than carrying liquid acv.

A few 250 ml bottles of Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect conditioner.

Oh yeah, I purchased some of that about a month ago. I've also purchased the shampoo and 3 minute miracle repair deep conditioner that goes with it too! I love it!

[Nox_Inber]

Everything. I bought everything lol.

Hello Hydration Shampoo (Meant to buy conditioner, but I ended up liking this too)
VO5 Ocean Refresh Conditioner
Aussie 3 Minute Deep Conditioner

I need to buy more Nightblooming oil too. Not sure if I want more Samhain Spell or if I want to try something new :)

[Bat]

Avocado
Olive
Sunflower

Masks

Aloe Vera Hairfood
Toni&Guy Strength Plex Bond repair (ooff just realised it has sulfates in it)
Schwarzkopf extra care Ultimate repair
Elvive Jojoba Rich Extraordinary oil

Same here, I purchased the Repair & Care conditioner and the 3 Minute Miracle Hydro conditioner! My newly blonde hair is loving both.

[Cayy]

I recently bought jojoba oil for my length (I heard that it wasn’t too heavy for thin hair, and so far I agree!), Rosemary oil for scalp massages, and a wooden brush to replace my old brush ☺️

[Nox_Inber]

Everything. I bought everything lol.

I have even less self control than I originally thought. I got Aussie Moist Conditioner today because I loved the DC so much. Teeeechnicallyyy the VO5 was a replacement for the free-for-all conditioner my boyfriend's family uses. I'm sane I tell you! :p

[Garnetgem]

Pocket size mason and pearson mixed bristles hair brush,it will be my first ever of this brand,always wanted to try but the price has always put me off but hey a little treat and why not! :)

[KameRose]

I purchased several things from LR when they did thier Xmas in July sale a week or so ago, then I purchased a silver angel fish.

Picked up a couple cute hair clips at the dollar store.

Purchased some sticks off of ebay.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ncsAAOSwDdxehr6h/s-l1600.jpg

And finally made a purchase on Amazon, a 12 pack of wavy plastic sticks in different colors (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QB5FYHT/).

P.S.: Although it's not technically a hair purchase I did snag a few craft supplies that I will hopefully turn into hair toys or into a way to organize them.

[Briar.Rose]

I got some goodie earth alligator clips, I’m finding plopping is taking too long for my hair to dry and smashing my waves so I take small sections and clip it loosely to my head and it drys faster

[Dark40]

I forgot to check in on yesterday that I purchased a 10oz bottle of Isoplus Wrap Lotion from eBay for $9.18.

[poli]

Novex coconut oil deep conditioner. I'm just collecting all coconut products LOL. Testing, testing. So far the Inecto and Kallos were the best.

[Dung Beetle]

I only have a couple of hairsticks, which my daughter bought for me. One pair is smooth and light aluminum, but very long (9 inches). The other pair is pretty copper wire and a good length (6 inches), but gets bent when I'm pinning up my hair. So I decided to buy some short, durable chopsticks: https://www.amazon.com/TiTo-Outdoor-Tableware-Titanium-Chopsticks/dp/B06XTNZ3CB/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=short+chopsticks&qid=1597416157&sr=8-7

They are perfect! My hair is BSL and these are just right. My buns feel very secure.

[littlestarface]

I bought that wet brush the vented one that GG has, that one is much better than the regular wet brush I couldn't believe it and its easier to clean too. My regular one was a pain in the assess to clean.

[Feral_]

A barrette in the shape of a bat :laugh:

[hennalonghair]

Oh drool littlestarface. Your hair is insanely gorgeous.

Anyway I’ve just discovered Rainwater Forest on Etsy. They make all natural products for the body.
Anyway my latest order was body lotion, body spray, saxophone leaves, and apple cider vinegar natural gummies.

[baanoo]

... and apple cider vinegar natural gummies.

ok I would like a full report on these, please, because that sounds delicious! :tongue:

Thank you Feral. It’s a little big for my mid back length hair but, that means I’ll never outgrow it! When I get to classic, it’ll be perfect.

[SelenVinland]

I got some hair clips from amazon in hopes of using them instead of hair ties on occasion. They seem secure. This is what they look like, since I don't know how to describe them:

https://i.imgur.com/Y0VPP9J.jpg

I'm wearing the purple style clip in a different color today, my hair is too short for a bun so it looks a hot mess but it's not going anywhere!

[KameRose]

There is another flexi on it's way to me and I purchased 14 more bandannas. I mean the bandannas aren't technically a hair purchase, since they will be being used as a face covering for now, but hey today's masks are future hair accessories, so I don't feel bad about buying so many of them. I have like 30 now, mostly all unique colors. I double bought blues and some greens, since they are my go to colors. But I was so excited that I found a rainbow one today, as well as some tie dye, as well as some other unique colors. Lime green, peach, gray, lilac, cerulean, all 100% cotton so I'm so psyched up right now. I may try going into a different store later this week, just to see if the selection varies by location. :P

Also I picked up this mermaid sparkle scunci brand scrunchie at the dollar store, as well as a few spidery pieces of jewelry at Jo-Ann that may or may not get converted into hair accessories.

[kidari]

I bought Olaplex no. 0 and a new hair stick! I am so proud that I haven't trimmed my hair in a while. The Olaplex was to prevent me from a trim and the hair stick was a reward of sorts.

[Lady Neeva]

I bought some Pantene shampoo, the 38 fl oz 'advanced care' version from Costco. I also have the conditioner version of it, which I've had for about two years. I've been alternating between different conditioners, but once I use it up, I might get another bottle of it.

[Hedwig]

I always wanted to try their products!

Oh, really? I used to use them way back when I first learned about natural cosmetics, but they are mostly really average. The shampoos didn't really work for my scalp and gave me some frizz. But my roommate has been using them for years now and her hair looks fabulous!

More new products: I bought a bottle of the Urtekram Moisturizing Coconut Shampoo and the Rosemary Leave In Spray. I need to stop shopping. :D

I heard a lot about Alverde when I discovered the world of organic cosmetics, back in 2012. In that days, organics products were not so popular as now, and I remember all the good reviews by Italians who bought Alverde shampoos and conditioners when they were in Germany. I'm still curious after 8 years :eek:

Kenra clarifying shampoo and christopher robin rassoul and roses paste. The rassoul one is really good, it got my scalp really clean and my hair looks and feels amazing plus the smell of the roses is lovely. Unfortunately my scalp hurts, feels so sore cuz of all the rubbing you have to do to make it foam. It is nice tho, I wonder if its worth all the work tho.

Kenra has sparkles in it and I do not like that at all! I want a good clean clarify, not a shampoo that's gonna put stuff in my scalp and hair.

Herbal Essences bio:renew Hemp & Aloe Oil. Second go around purchasing this stuff. It’s just the right weight to serve as both a leave-in detangler and an oil. Plus it’s got a nice clean scent.

Oh those were the days.

4 Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls Styling Lotions (my Labor Day Haul)

I am also subscribed to received a tube of Multicultural Curls sent to my house monthly. I decided to buy this product, because I plan on switching up from using gel in my hair so much. It is starting to dry my hair out which it always does no matter what, so I knew that I know that I need to give my hair a much need break from using such for sure. I am also not a strict follower of the CGM or any other method. So, whatever I buy that ends up working great for my hair, that’s what I most definitely plan to stick with.

Oh, and even though the product is titled Multicultural Curls, this is a product that anyone of any race with wavy, curly, and coily hair can use. This product can be used on both adults and children alike as well (for anyone that may interested).

I bought a boar bristle brush today on a whim, it wasn't expensive. The soft ones seemed like baby brushes so I went for a medium one. We'll see how it works on my scalp.

I was also looking for something similar to the Garnier Hair Food masks for WCC, since those contain an ingredient that breaks me out. I bought two Ogx masks to try because they were BOGO 1/2 off. I got the Argan oil and the Pracaxi oil ones. They smell lovely so we'll see how my hair likes them. The Argan oil one has silk amino acids, but I'm running out of my preferred protein conditioner, so this will do quite nicely I think.

Also got some tiny soft nylon hair ties for my kid (and also for me for the end of braids.) I'm so glad I stopped using those thin silicone ones, they were wrecking my ends before.

Oooooo I have some aloe gel coming in the mail on Saturday to make some detangler spray. Kimberlily's? I'm excited to try a new thing and moisturize my dry hair. I love washing once a week but sometimes my length needs a little help by day 4 or 5.

A variation on it! I use it after washing and not midweek so much. I’ve been applying aloe alone, so my current detangler is: orange blossom water, avocado oil, glycerin, shake vigorously before spraying onto hands. It smells lovely and so far is working really well! I wanted to get a good detangler figured out before Radiator Season; I suspect I’ll need to up the ante as the weather begins to turn and the air dries out.

I have just received my Bondi boost dandruff shampoo and conditioner. I am just about to go and try it and hope I like it. I will report back after I use it.

[pixitolong]

So an update. I used the bondi boost dandruff shampoo and conditioner. It was a very creamy consistency both the shampoo and conditioner. I felt like it didn't strip my hair and I only used a small amount of each. My scalp felt slightly refreshed/tingly for about 30 minutes after washing from the peppermint and then went away. I used argan oil after on my hair and mostly towel tried but because I have bad ears and need to keep water out of then, I then caved and blow dried my hair. My hair feels so soft but maybe thats fro the argan oil. I went slightly over the top with the argan oil today and will probably need to wash in a few days now because it will be oil by that stage. I was a bit silly and put argan oil even on my roots so its a bit much. But back to the hair products, they seem good. Gentle and good ingredients.

My new hair stick just came!

I'm absolutely in love - they are more beautiful than on photos! Also I have 1 stick gratis (what I was expecting) and one woody comb.
If someone think about shopping with SandalWoodCraft (https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SandalwoodCrafts?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=677948442) I really recommend!

With them I have only 2 problems: how get money from more stuff from there and.... how many sticks I can putt to my (pretty small) bun - now I have 3 and I can't decided :silly: .

Further update: My hair is still itchy. I guess maybe the dandruff product doesn't work after one use? I maybe might cut back on the organ oil as maybe it made me itchy?

I bought three hair barrettes and two hair sticks from a Lithuanian seller on Etsy. I've been looking for minimalist acetate hair barrettes and these look pretty much perfect for my needs.

A barrette and a set of hair sticks from Outnumbered Novelties. I’ve been leaning into the neutrals a lot more lately, so it was exciting to find sticks in those colors that should pair well with a lot of flexis.

[itskate]

C_Bookworm, how exciting! I love his shop. I just requested a custom hair fork from Outnumbered Novelties because it's been a long time since I've bought anything new for my hair. As for right now, I just bought a shower comb and wide tooth comb from Eternally in Amber. I got a bit discouraged with my hair for a while, but it's finally at a length I'm enjoying so now I'm treating myself, haha. I can't wait for the combs, my old wide tooth comb has been making a big difference in detangling (i was using a BBB only for a while) but it's not smooth.

I impulsively picked up a jar of the Naturebox Avocado Oil hair mask for about 4 euro - and now I‘m officially going on a no-buy until I start my new job!

Hey! I've noticed that we are hair twins! I'm 2c/3a/F/iii, and you are that as well! :D

I also see that you are at CL too! Congratulations! How long did it take you to grow to CL? I wish that my hair was at that length now! But I have a good feeling that someday soon it will get there. I had a girlfriend in high school that has the same hair type of texture as ours but it was never CL. When we first met it was either HL or TBL, and during her graduating year at the beginning she gotten it relaxed and trimmed up to HL!

Hi there!! Cool that we have the same hair type. I started with collarbone length hair in 2014 and I didn't hit classic until 2018. I think 2018- but there were a few years 2017-2019 where I had really bad tendonitis and just threw my hair up and didn't measure or think about it much. All of a sudden I realized it had been almost a year since I trimmed on accident (usually did it .5 inch every 6 months) and then i noticed my hair was past classic.

I see your goal length is terminal! A lot of people with 2c/3a make it past knee so I think your hair will probably get really long. The person in real life I knew with the longest hair probably had 2a hair and hers was tailbone length, it just sort of stayed there since she sat on it and was rough with it ect. It was interesting she never cut her hair anymore but it never really changed. I guess it could have been terminal too but doubt it since I knew her real well. It was pretty.

Hi there! Yes, it cool that we have the same hair type. Yeah, me too also started out with collarbone or a chin length bob when I first joined here at LHC back in 2010. Wow, that's awesome you hit classic in 2018! Awww, I'm so sorry that you had bad tendonitis. Well, that was the best thing for you to do is just put it up, not measure it, and think about it much. Then, all of a sudden you had realized it had been almost a year since you've trimmed it on accident. .5 inches isn't that much to take off every 6 months at all. When I trim which is every 4 months I take off 1cm. I think that is too much. I have a bad feeling that I'm trimming away the length, and I am on the, "No Trimming Challenge," on here. So, I've just had a cm trim 2 weeks ago, and I'm not planning on doing anymore trimming until this time again next year. That's if it really needs it. I've heard people go without trims for 5 or 6 years!

I kind of thinking that's why my hair length is staying the same, and seeming like it's not growing any longer. Awwww, I thank you so much for the encouragement and your positive thinking that people with type 2c/3a can grow really long hair! Because, I also knew this person very well too, and I doubted that her terminal length was tailbone length too! When I saw that she had gotten it relaxed I always imagined when her hair stylist did her hair it had stretched all of the way to classic length! But, I would see her everyday, and she would always keep it trimmed up to BCL! Her hair was also always pretty too.

This person in real life that I knew real well her hair was just like this youtuber's hair. Have you ever heard of a youtuber named, Bella Duenas?" I mean, my friend's hair wasn't the same length as Bella's hair in her videos but when we both met she had the same texture as Bella's.

I mean a centimeter ever 4 months isnt crazy considering most hair supposedly grows 1/2 inch a month. It sounds like a good idea to still grow alot in a year but maintain nice ends. I dont think its a bad idea to take one year off or so but I could never do 5 years ect like some do. My ends start to get tanglier and less silky I personally dont like to do that. Well. Ive never done it. My most recent "trim" I cut off about an inch and a half. It made a huge difference in my ends. Had to make up for slacking off for so long and I was trying to not grow past fingertip so it needed to be cut back. When you stop thinking about hair growth it grows like a weed -_-

Bella Duenas is the person with the red hair theres a thread about right now isnt she? I didnt watch the video but saw the thumbnail. Her hair is pretty def. much curlier than mine. I think I need to hair type again. I mean I can tell my hair is the same as in 2014 but the length does a lot to stretch it out/weigh it down and makes it so much more manageable... which is actually part of why I wanted to grow it out in the first place. Hair typing is so tricky/ complicated. If one saw pics of my hair just dried after wash day they would think i had a different hair type than right before I washed it after being stretched out and calmed down by buns and combing all week.

Ok, cool! I'm glad you said that trimming a centimeter ever 4 months isn't crazy considering most hair supposedly grow 1/2 inch a month. Ok, I will continue to trim a centimeter every 4 months then. Yes, I can't see how some people do it as far as waiting 5 or 6 years to trim their hair, and it still grows healthy. I always love for my ends to look nice and well-kept too. I hate the look of fairy-tale ends! I've also never have waited 5 years before I've trimmed my hair either. Yes, I agree with you that if you stop thinking about hair growth it will grow like a weed -_-

Yes, there is a thread on here about Bella Duenas! I've been posting in there on my thoughts about her video and her beautiful long tresses. Yes, I totally agree with you on that her hair is def. curlier than mine too. Yes, you probably do need to do a hair typing soon. Oh yes, when you keep those ends trimmed nicely it does make a different in them. Yes, I totally agree with you that hair typing is very tricky/complicated but with length it does do a lot to stretch it out/weigh it down to make it more manageable....Yes, that's one of my the reasons why I'm letting my hair grow out as well. A couple of years ago I let a few members on here see a couple of my pics, and they did hair typing on me. They all say I have type 4 hair, and I totally disagreed with them. I agrued with them that when my hair is freshly washed it has more of a loose wave/curl than more of a tight curl. My hair is thick but not thick enough to say that it's in the 4's.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that sometimes every 4 months I don't think I trim off a centimeter. Because, when I'm doing those dustings every 4 months I only trim off the tips, and that is more like a milileter, and I know that's not crazily too much to take off either.

Not Your Mothers Way To Grow Leave-In Conditioner.
Since I needed a spray leave-in/detangler ASAP, I grabbed this at my local drug store because:
1) It was cheap,
2) slim pickings
and, best of all,
3) it also claims to help grow hair faster (!!!!) :eyeroll:

I’m pretty skeptical about #3 but at least one can dream. Curious if anyone’s tried this before.

Nope, I've never tried "Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Leave-in Conditioner," before. Please let us know how it turns out. I've also been needing and using a detangler spray in my hair care routine lately. Because, my hair is getting longer and thicker, and when it's grows like that it is prone to tangles.

[Dark40]

Nothing major I bought 2 16oz bottles of Mane N Tail Detangling Spray form eBay for $14.95.

[Mariekeeee14]

2 Desert Essence coconut conditioners, Giovanni Golden Wheat deep cleanse shampoo and Giovanni Tea Tree invigorating shampoo (typed the names at the top of my head, don’t come for me if I’m wrong :lol: )

[Bri-Chan]

Forgot to mantion I bought some hair gel by Near (brand only available in Eurospin) with good reviews by the italian curly community.

Bought a bottle of the new Balea Winter Protect hair milk as a replacement for my leave in cream from Garnier.

I've just purchased a bottle of Isoplus Wrap Lotion for $8.52 at eBay.

[meepster]

I've stocked up on satiny scrunchies in every color of the rainbow. I've noticed lately that hair elastics tend to pull at my scalp, while scrunchies are a lot more comfortable. Plus, my hair likes to curl around a scrunchie and pretend to be a sock bun, so it actually looks like a fairly reasonable updo.

[Mariekeeee14]

Europrofit Mega hold gel, Kruidvat curl cream and Nivea diamond mousse, cheap stylers to practice styling my hair curly

[Garnetgem]

The Inkey List salicylic acid exfoliating scalp treatment.

[lakhesis]

Pure blue shower filter ... I've just moved a week ago, washed my hair like 3 times here already and it feels weird, dry, sticky and gross :( So I am really hoping it will help.

[Carrie's hair]

Does the beanie count as a hair purchase? I only started taking care of wearing cap/beanie on a regular basis when I learned to take care of my hair, so I guess so.
Anyway, I ordered one on Aliexpress.

[fiords]

Some castor and rosemary oil from the chemist. Looking into a wooden tek brush at the moment, I don't feel like the boars hair one has been too great for me this year. It's great at distributing oils and I've gone longer between washes - however I'm suspecting breakage, so I want to add a new hairbrush to the collection. *laughs*

[fiords]

Oh jokes actually I bought a hair treatment online from Lush a week ago! So that was the latest purchase! Looking after my hair is definitely a hobby :cool:

[lapushka]

Anti-dandruff shampoo (Pantene) for 3.05 euro at Lidl supermarket.

[Hedwig]

I bought the exact one too, used it and I'm very happy with it! Gives amazing slip :D

OMG how fun!! I'm so happy with it too. I was afraid that my hair wouldn't like the protein but it gets so soft and silky.

[Hedwig]

I caved and bought one of the new Garnier shampoo bars. I chose the chamomile scent and it smells heavenly! I also found out that there is a cashback thing going on for the shampoo bars at the moment, so technically it was free. :D

[cat11]

Bought a few masks at the store. Hi-pro-pac protein, morrocan mend moisture mask, and a shea butter mask.

Definitely just made a large (to me) Nightblooming purchase including the herbal conditioner, a few oils— made sure they are pregnancy safe this time— in scents I’ve never tried, the 2 oz. salve trio (because the trial size only helped me learn that I like all of them lol) and a book to read! :joy:

Yes, totally! I was so happy to stumble into them, totally made my day. And I‘m trying to minimize the amount of online shopping I do as well, so it worked out perfectly. :)

[lapushka]

2 "shower brushes" aka wet brush dupes from the store "Hema". 4 euro each. It's their price for it. You used to be able to get them in the store "Action" for 1.49 euro at first and then just 1 euro. They no longer have them, though!

Oshima Camelia oil. Wow this stuff is definitely all its cracked up to be after reading about it on old threads here about different camellia oils. It made my hair very soft and shiny..... its like a holy grail oil for me, works better than any other oil I have tried.

I think I try new types of hair shampoos and alternative methods (eggs, herbs, etc.) like other people try new hair colours... This time I bought the John Frieda Go Blonder range to try to brighten up my tired winter hair :rolleyes: It did sound a bit "frightening" but, I am currently into SLS and silicones, and none of the other ingredients seem particularly worse than any other products so I'm crossing my fingers...

[Dark40]

I recently bought "The Ordinary" hair serum, its a "multi peptide serum for hair density". I have never used something like this before but I bought two bottles. Its a dry oil, it seems, as it doesnt make my hair greasy. (the bottles arrived in the mail today)
My plan is to try it every day for a week and see, I do not want to over stimulate my scalp but at the same time, I would love to have a bit of a night time ritual.
Ill update the forum on my findings. I dont usually oil my scalp in any way since I have SD but I am curious to see if this is different.

Could you show your bottle, please? The one that I have (Ultimate Blends version from the UK) doesn't claim to be silicone-free.

Ok. This is polish version of the conditioner, "bez silikonu" means "no silcone" "sans silicone", it might be some kind of marketing strategy or just a translation error most probably.
Little do they know that we are able to read the ingredients list.

poli I don't think it's a marketing strategy because it would be a fraud and I think this isn't legal. I think more to a translation error.

I looked for the italian version, but I discovered we only had shampoo and mask some years ago, now discontinued. It's funny that your conditioner says "New" :p

[curly girl fla]

I recently got the Curly Girls bundle from Inahsi Naturals. I think I'm in love, especially with the Curl Defining Custard-one of the best I've tried, and it has such a unique consistency, not cream, not gel, not quite putty...it's just...interesting. Lot's of moisture, kills the frizz and defined in humidity. I used it over their curl enhancing cream, so I will definitely need to assess using it alone.
