currently getting wild. i got my septum pierced, ordered some Oyin stuff ive wanted to buy for months (hair dew, honey hemp conditioner & honey wash). the natural store me now has qhemet biologics and they are cheaper than what i would have to pay in philadelphia (tax) and at sage naturalceuticals. plus i can get the same day. i got the cocoa detangling ghee, aethiopika hydrate & twist butter, and the honeybush tea soft gel.i’m currently in the market for a great conditioner that comes in larger sizes , like 32oz for a reasonable price. help me ?

faithloveciara asked: hair tips,,, any lol. like products you use.?

hmm i’ve been thinking about this for a long time and come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is READ as much as you can stand about hair. then from there digest it and see what works for you. im not too big on pushing products but i do like to recommend the shea moisture kits. they can range between $17-$23 depending on tax. you can try all the products and not spend too much especially if you don’t like them. i like the curl and i guess its the organic shea butter lines (this one is yellow labeled ). i like oils such as coconut oil, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil. another product that ive fallen in love with is Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee.ive used it to detangle and as a leave in and its lovely. a little more on the pricey side for 8 oz ($17-18.99 depending where you buy it). other than that just listen to your wallet and hair ha.
