Poeticlyspkng - Curls Cashmere Curls and Whipped Cream review, pics and updates

@KC- thanks dear. It's a bit inconsistent. I should have taken some aerial shots! I'm trying again tomorrow but probably going back to curls for the wash and go!

@Muz- thanks girl! I put some hair milk on it later and the crunchy feeling went away. Butter pecan ice cream sounds good! Where ya going?

@Ryl- I knew someone would know what I was talking about. Hope Nubie stops by and gets a laugh out of it! You know you're the one who got me WANTING to do a wash and go, right?

LOL @ death to shrinkage! You look beautiful as usual!

Man, I hadnt been by your house in a minute. Love you twist out and your wash n go!!

I feel you on the shrinkage. Roxie aint having no parts in a wash n go because not only would she shrink up, she would be a tangled mess. I do want to try the "wash n go style" I plan to use/find a product that helps elongate the hair. I thought about using the eco-custard on dry hair. When I use it on wet hair, it shrinks something terrible. I dont think I would really mind the shrinkage if it didnt come with tangle, matted hair.

I wish you would have pulled out the "Nubie finger" That would have been too funny

@ the Nubie finger...classic!

Your wng looked fantastic! And your make up was pretty too. Your curls were def doing their thing.

@Muz- in your head is probably better. I always over do it at ice cream shops but i LOVE to go!


Lynnie- thanks for coming over and thanks for the compliments! I was frustrated by the shrinkage toda but I'm giving it another go tomorrow! If it happens again, the nubie finger is coming out!

@DVA, thanks! I appreciate your compliments! I've decided to go learn some stuff from the make up thread soon. I'm coming over later!

I have never been to Johnsons but I always hear good stuff. However there are a few other places down Main Street that I like to hit, like Graeters and Jenis.

@Sweet- just realized I didn't say thanks.

I tried the wash and go again today. I like it much better. It's curlier and less frizzy. Went back to my curls products for that. Seems to work better. I'l post pics later.

Hey PS!!! Wishing a wonderful holiday weekend! I see you rocked a fab WnG!!! Get it girl!! It's cute! Loves it!

Hey Poetic...

You rocked that wNg!!! I know what you mean about shrinkage...we must embrace the shrinkage....it's in control!!

I saw in another post you plan to do mini twists this weekend...can't wait to see your results!!

Have a great weekend!!!

KNH

Hey gals. So I didn't bother to do anything besides lurk over the weekend!

@Muz- from Curls I used creme brulee and goddess glaze. I haven't tried the shampoo or condish yet. Want to wait until I run out of my other stuff first.

@Curls Galore- thanks so much girl. I really wasn't feeling it so much. It came out better on Friday. I might post pics later. Hope you had a great weekend!

@KNH - I found out over the weekend that I DO NOT have the patience to do mini twists. So, my normal twist out. However, I did go into Aveda and did some twists with the aveda defining whip that Nikki has discussed and THOSE twists came out elongated and defined. I am going to TRY to avoid that store until I run out of everything else!

Aveda? ooooweee!!! Something else I gotta try. So is Aveda a store? Okay..so I looked this product up on the internet...I'm trying my best to get my PJ under control. I will NOT try this product. **telling myself this over, and over** LOL

I'm sure you hair is very pretty...I can't wait to see pictures!!!

KNH

LOL! Well, Nikki posted about it twice as she prepared for her baby shower. Go back and check... She gave it rave reviews and got several days hair out of it. Aveda is a store, but their products are sold at salons too. When I say that the 2 twists I put that on came out defined, I'm not kidding. I did it in the store because they don't give samples and I'm cheap. I don't want to buy it and return it. I want to buy it, like it, the end. Nikki said a little went a long way and I'm inclined to agree. The fewer products I have to use the better. I like the simplicity.

In any case, when I do my entire head with that stuff, I suspect it will be the twist out I dream about- minimal shrinkage and wavy- Thelma style! Don't buy/try it before me!!!

Hey PS!

Hope you had a great weekend! Please don't wakeup the PJ in me because I've been good lately as far as hair products . But I will be waiting on that review from either you or KNH!

Hope you had a great weekend. Just dropping by to eat all your food--I mean, say hello!

Hey Poeticly! I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday!

Hey KC- had a great weekend! My own pj is wide awake. Contemplating a stop at Aveda on my way home! Somebody stop me!

Hey Mika! hope you had your fill!

Hey Curly- good to see you out and about!

I went to lunch with my hubby today. I decided to take a pic of Thelma on the way. She's feeling full today, despite the frizz. Actually, I'm getting a little bored with my hair. I need to find some other styles for someone like me- with not short/not long hair. I might give the frohawk a try this week or maybe even a puff now that the henna made my gray fringe reddish orange. We shall see.





Lunch!

oooh the hair (and sushi) looks good!

Thelma looks lovely! Really lush and full!

CCC - Thanks AND that sushi was awesome! My camera phone took a beautiful picture!

Muz- girl... I went to Jenis after sushi yesterday and had some almond brittle. It's expensive but I just CAN'T have ice cream in the house! It can only happen on one day and I have to leave it there or I O.I.C. -- over ice cream... You already know I love SheaMoisture. Which ones did you get? The curl smoothie? Honestly, yesterdays hair was day 2 I think with the curl smoothie. The Asian waitress at Moshi asked if we had candy and my husband was like- it's her hair. LOL! I love that corner of Bexley!

KC- thanks much ma'am! How YOU doin?

Ok bellas! I gave in to my pj yesterday. After stalking the Aveda store consultant 3 times over the last 5 days I returned yesterday with a plan to walk out with it. Nikki gave it rave reviews prior to her baby shower and I loved the results. And it fits right in with my plans to NOT order online and pay shipping for products. Shipping is such a rip off to me, plus I'm kind of cheap... LOL! But I digress. So, I the "consultant" was trying to lecture me on best products to purchase and insisted I could not use the defining whip as a styler on wet hair. I told her that I had an online "friend" who in fact used it that way and it worked for her just fine and bid her adieu. I worked out really hard yesterday so I had to wash my hair and of course I HAD to use my new find. I actually DC'd before I went and ran stairs so I washed it out when I came home. I left in Yes to Cucumbers. Afterward, I twisted it up as usual but applied the defining whip to each twist and shea butter to the ends. I could tell that it would be a good turn out because my twists didn't shrink up as much as usual. Since they didn't, I also didn't use clips to weigh down the front as I normally do. So I woke up this morning, quite excited to see the results and I was NOT disappointed! This is my best result to date with a product. Why? Because (1) I didn't have to use clips to get some hang time up front (2) the elongation I got with day 1 is what I usually get from retwisting! and (3) my hair is defined, soft and the only frizz came because I couldn't keep my hands out of it! So, this product will likely end my search. My next quest is to see how long I can keep it in because at $18, it can get expensive. I'll use it mostly when I need my hair to last a few days. But I'm thinking that when I know I'm going to work out, I'll use something cheaper like my curls or my sheamoisture curl smoothie which I don't mind washing back out. Still love that stuff too. Anyway, here are the results... Loving it!

Now that is amazing!!! I really like your results!!! So are you going to add product when you retwist tonight? Just curious!!
