My hair has been misbehaving the past couple days too :rolleyes: and I've just been leaving it be. I might oil it a little after I shower tonight, but I'm not sure.

I've got a little extra money left over from my paycheck :cheese: and was thinking of trying a shampoo bar. Has anyone here had experience with Chagrin Valley's shampoo bars?

I am really curious about their shower butter bars, so i tried making them myself with shea & cocoa butter and some perfume oils, since i had those laying around :cheese: They smell pretty good, but i'll have to see about how they work.

I really like their Ayurvedic herb shampoo bar and I used it with hard water. It lowered my shedding, kept my very fussy scalp happy, smells nice, it washed out my pre-wash heavy oiling (if applied twice) and didn't over-dry my hair (I followed it up with ACV rinse - one tea spoon to 8oz of water).

Spring has finally started over here, seems more like summer already, so I'm hoping for a growth spurt! I know my longest layers are APL already, but I'm just waiting for the shortest ones to catch up. Would be easier for buns, because right now that doesn't work at all :mad:

Katleen it will definitely get easier, at least for me the moment most of my hairs touched the towel was the moment I realized that I could do so many different types of buns. I no longer need to do sock buns cause I can now do high cinna buns, half-up nautilus bun, double cinnabuns, etc. Although some of the more complex buns end up looking kinda small for me, but I can fluff out most buns to cover my five pronged fork. Plus for me, I've recently transitioned to using only one stick, and having it hold all day nice and comfy, which is a big milestone for me. I can't wait for my LadyIdun stick to arrive! I'm now checking out the next thread. Let's just say it gets interesting with the whole bra dilema for me. hahahahaha

I've just tried the neeli oil and I don't like the smell. LOL I tried mixing it with coconut oil and I just don't know if I can take the smell. Maybe I got a rancid bottle? I got it from a local Indian store so who knows....Is it supposed to smell like that though?

I like chagrin valley poo bars. My favorites are cafe moreno, sunflower soapnuts (something like that), and neem and tea tree oil hair and body bar. The last one is great if you have breakouts in the hair line and scalp. Supposed to be good for flakes too. I liked ayurveda but it was just a bit drying for me.

Edit: I forgot to say guys that I got my forks and let me tell you the antler sticks are amazing. They are super light and hold fantastically. They come in all sizes also. So they are great for thinnies and thickies.

Ahhhhhhhhh I'm about the make the final payment on my Grah-Toe fork!!! I'll have to have it sent to my university, so I won't be able to play with it until the 8th of June at the earliest, but I'll have more hair then :p

squeee! I'm waiting to receive my first. I can't contain my excitement!

Woo i did my first crownbraid today (that actually worked) :D it was a bit messy, but i kind of like that, it looks summery to me :) Of course, i didn't take any pictures... :doh:

Bunnysaur, that's just two weeks from now, think about all the lovely things you can do with your fork then!!!

MegaMystery (is that named after MegaMindy, BTW? :-)), I would love to see some pictures of your crown braids!! I'll try one tomorrow maybe, depends on how much time I have without children hanging on my legs :-)

lol! I have them on mine all the time too. ;)

I am going to figure out how to pin my bangs so I can do the crown braid without getting them in there. I've not been successful yet.

today is a Gibson tuck. Simple and off my neck, which is all I was asking!

haha it might be, i was really uninspired when i chose this nickname.. I usually just use my real name (Rianne) but that was already taken and i hate to be Rianne01 or something :P so i just thought of something random..

Nope, Neeli oil smells bad, the only way I can avoid sensing it is when I wear a hat over my head. That is why it is a pre-wash oil for me, I leave it on for ~1 hour then wash it out. *shurg* In all honesty there is no way in Hades that I would EVER stop using it. My scalp is happy and my shedding is minimal, totally worth putting up with the smell for an hour.

Just FYI the CV shampoo bar smells really nice, NOTHING like the Neeli oil. :D
