It may be best if the person who wants to use it checks it out first, just to make sure it will do the job for them.

lol, I thought that was the whole point of the thread. Anyone is free to hijack the thread and throw in their bit of info. Here's another place where you can buy shea butter >>> http://www.akuawood.co.uk/home.php?cat=3 . Hope you like it wink

. Oh, by the way ladies, I recently tried a product Kinky-Curly Curling Custard on my hair. I've used it on my hair before when my hair was longer and it seemed ok. The first time I used it, my hair was semi-straight/curly/wavy due to some heat damage so when I'd use the products, I'd wonder how it would be if I had actually used it without all the various textures in my hair. Well, I must say it was quite nice when I used it and totally different from when I applied it to my hair when it was a mixture of textures due to the heat damage. My hair at the moment is in the TWA phase so as it gets longer, we'll see how it works on my hair. So far, it has really moistureized and defined my hair while at the same time givin it a nice soft hold. For those of you ladies in the UK who want to try/use some of the products some of us ladies here use, you can check out this British based website. It has tons of helpful info >>> http://www.britishcurlies.co.uk/store/categories/Kinky%252dCurly/ . Oh and by the way, sorry for the late responses, been busy with work tongue

[b]That first link gave GREAT info.[/b]Thanks.
That last site was interesting, that's the second time I've seen/heard black peeps hair type separated like that,the first was on this site also.

see, you getting all the attention. guys want to chat you up in the background and you are turning them down, lol!
what are you fearing sista?!

@madlady
a real friend would never knowingly hurt you TWICE, if they did then they definitely are not "real friends".

Hmmm I KNOW your right but, it's hard to face certain facts.

Some ***friends**** can cause you more pain than your worst enemy, THOSE are best cut off.

MRbrownJAY:
^^^^you'll have to put it all in the balance and value whats more worthy/damaging to you: the time they've been there or the time they disappointed you.

Yes, if the disappointment can/did cause you damage then, cutting them off should be the way to go. That's what I would do.

Ujujoan:
I always say, it's good to forgive . . . but foolish to forget!

@poster
depending on whats the disappointment about, you may have to look at removing that friend from your list of trusted individuals.

Your right again, but if it's a REAL friend and the have been there for you most times, and the disappointment was not life altering undecided

@topup, it may be better to forgive the person. Life's too short to stay annoyed with a real friend.

Culture › Re: Do You Seriously Think Black People Are Equal To White People In Intelligence? by madlady(f): 1:58pm On Nov 22, 2010

bisoyeg:
I'm not saying that every white person is more intelligent than every black person. Just saying the average white person is blessed with more intellectual gifts than the average black person. What you do with your gifts is another matter. But the average white has more natural innate intelligence than the average black person.

Believe it or not but the smartest person I've met is a black classmate of mine at university. When I say smart, I'm talking about his innate natural intelligence. He has the ability to think on his feet and can deal with complex concepts very quickly and grasps new ideas quickly and can apply those ideas. He also has the ability to adapt to changing environments very quickly. He doesn't need to spend a long time studying something before he grasps it. These are all signs of great natural intelligence.

But apart from this black guy, most other black people I've met exhibit low innate intelligence. They work hard and have great attitude but they just don't seem very bright at all and show no analytical skills and certainly can't grasp complex concepts quickly if at all. Apart from that super smart black guy, the other exceptionally bright people I've met are whites and asians.

@Poster, you should do a mini survey on this forum's Politics Section, you might change your mind. lipsrsealed

I've seen a few recommended ones, but they are expensive.
You could also check this out,
http://www.wildwoodgroves.com/shop/soap/simply-argan-cleansing-bar.htm

I'm currently out of shea butter, frustrating because there has been a breakdown in my supply chain >.<
looking for where to get the best at the best price now.
Interesting. . .

@Gamine

it looks great but, 30% argan. I'll check around and find out if I should try to source something with a higher percentage of argan. Visually it's right up my street.

Now the Shea Butter, the lady I buy it from is crash hot on getting the purest ingredients. I've mixed rosemary from my neighbours garden into the Shea Butter so it may look odd.

***Amended**** The lady who I buy the Shea Butter from say's she gets it from Ghana,she also said you can get it from www.baldwins.co.uk.

I only drink fresh herbs or fruit teas, they are cheaper and maybe better than the hmm tyhoo type teas we get in the UK.

I think undecided

they help give you a clear skin, parsley, mint and even the spinach water.

Gamine:
I haven't really seen much talk about black soap on the hair,
I'll try that.

I've been using Argan Oil + Shea butter for my skin (body and face)
for the past weeks, its been really good. I was having dryness due to the weather
but I'm all good now

I use Shea butter to bathe with, like you said, it's great for moisturizing the skin.

Argan oil have you ever seen it in any face wash/tablet? I need to use another method of face washing, I normally use "simple soap" but I think it's time to go unto something less drying undecided

, even though I have oily skin. I want avoid going down the route my friends have, "Presricptives" they are too expensive.

iice:
[color=#9900ff]Thanks I have a huge aloe vera plant that just keeps growing and i rarely use it (for burns and sometimes on my hair) but this way i can make use of a lot of it.[/color]

I use it sometimes to make tea.

@chaircover, shocked

Waitrose seems to be selling a DIY kit of the Delia Smith cake recipe I posted for you, it costs £10. You may find it's cheaper to buy this, but, if you want to make a larger cake or more than one, it may be better to buy the ingredients the way you normally do.

@Topic

Most guys start from nothing.

No one wants or needs a liability but, if the guy works hard, and the girl also, they can make a good life together.

Not everyone was put on this earth to be a millionaire but, most of use can have a fairly decent life if we work with our other half.

bamboke:
I would love to know your views ladies, if you can wholeheartedly marry a guy who has less qualifications than you and right now has not much to give you but his love and attention. Will you be willing and humble to marry him, believing that tomorrow has good things in stock for you both? Candid views please!

The guy having no money , that's normal so that should not be a problem.

A man and a woman can achieve big things together if they love and respect each other.

Many guys start from nothing, but go on to make a very happy and successful life for themselves and families.

So the answer should be yes.

my wife is furious with me because i refused to inform her before i sent money to my mum. please correct me with your discretion if i am wrong

@Poster if I were in that position I would be upset if my other half did not tell me what his duties were.

What if for some reason he could not send money that month or whenever, his mother would be left in need. If he had informed me, I would have sent my other half's mother money on his behalf.

Thank you that was helpful. We all do what you do, we braid/plait/twist when the hair's wet, we find it hard to manage if we don't.

One thing, I dont like to rinse with hot water or to rinse too often, I think it strips the hair of it's natural moisture.

I use any so called baby shampoo, i hope it's not too harsh .

Thanks.

The only natural product I use on my hair is advocado, i put it on the hair not on the root. I leave it on for about 30mins whilst i soak in the bath.

Fashion › Re: The Natural Mixtress--Natural Remedies And Solutions by madlady(f): 9:05pm On Nov 15, 2010

^^^^^^^^
GREAT.

Black soap I've heard loads about it. How many times do you rinse?

When you grow your hair long, do you use a dryer? do you plait or twist your hair whilst it's wet? and do you ever use a heat cap. I do the last 2 but, I've been told you should not stress black peoples hair whilst wet, it's supposedly at it's weakest at this time. Your take on this please
