No Poo and clumping - Page 5

hmm ok so peach leaf extract is medicinal and the kernel extract is the emollient?

The unique conditioning properties of the Quandong (Native Peach) are legendary. Traditionally used as a hair tonic, the kernel extract enriches the density and lustre of the hair and relieves dry and itchy scalp conditions. This gentle formulation provides recovery for hair that is over-stressed while
soothing sensitive scalps

I saw peach leaf in some face stuff as an emollient too. hmmm

oh man it ate my post!

I'm trying to catch up, my browser was stuck in lag land.

So it's the leaf you think? I like that growing part but the laxative is ingesting it not topical.

medusahair · 01-22-2007, 03:59 PM

dude I was all locked out and stuff for a bit grrrrrrrrr
Ok on curlmart even I found that it's probably the kernel oil. At least they quote it for being for all kinds of things

But hey who knows what's in my conditioner that I love so much. Dude who knew I was going to have to know so much to get a good conditioner?

medusahair · 01-22-2007, 04:29 PM

Oh yay I can post again!

Ok for anyone actually paying attention for this and for lushaholic. I ordered peach kernel oil since I could find for sure that was in conditioners and face stuff the most. I did see the leaf oil has some good qualities too and I'm going to look into that to see if I need to rub it on or ingest for hair growth.

The peach extract lady refunded my money. She was really sweet and changed the ad to say imitation so everyone knows what they're getting.

Sooooooo I just have to......... wait.......... again for it to get here in the mail

In the mean time I'm going to look for recipes for facials to use that in since I have a full 8 oz coming

lushaholic · 01-22-2007, 05:49 PM

LOL, your poor posts! From what I read, the peach extract/ prunus persica/peach kernel oi/ peach leaf extract are all the same thing! How exhausting!

medusahair · 01-22-2007, 05:52 PM

ooooooh well no wonder I was so confused! I got the kernel oil because I could find the most said about that and for 8 oz for 3.99 how could I say no?

They say it's good for mature skin, I wonder how it knows I'm old and stuff?

So how much was shipping? And where's the source? I need a peach kernel fix too! :P

Here you go, he has one left!

lushaholic · 01-22-2007, 06:48 PM

Ohhh excellent, thanks! Looks like he's got a lot of good stuff!

medusahair · 01-23-2007, 08:55 AM

Looking at all the stuff he has doesn't it make you want to cook up something for your skin or hair?
I saw some shea butter I was thinking hmm if I add shea and peach do I get a better conditioner?

I swear I need to stop I'll mess up a perfectly good conditioner this way but it's sure tempting

lushaholic · 01-23-2007, 09:31 AM

I know!! Looking at all the oils and butters, I was thinking the same thing!

cmartin1 · 01-24-2007, 08:21 AM

I might buy a bottle tonight and wanted to know the latest on it. Is the clumping still good? Does is weight down fine 3a curls and does it have buildup?

Thank you!

medusahair · 01-24-2007, 09:16 AM

It's still working great

Now for anyone looking at buying the old version, sleekhair.com has a pic of the old but those two liters I got from there are the New version.

I"m irked because that was the point of getting it from them. I don't need the new stuff shipped I can just walk into the store and get it. Annnnnnyhoo it was a good price still and the new stuff works nice too.

lushaholic · 01-24-2007, 09:24 AM

Go figure, I went almost productless today, meaning I only used a bit of the CJ Guava cream and nothing else, no diffusing, and got the softest, shiniest, frizz-free clumpy curls in a couple of weeks. I had a feeling this would happen if I left off any gel,etc.

medusahair · 01-24-2007, 09:30 AM

If there's no humidity there maybe the gel doesn't let the moisture in?
Figures though doesn't it? Well at least you got a good hair day with a new product though!
I have to go sit on the porch in a bit to get my humidity fix. My hair is smooth which is nice and frizz free but it's not as curly and the top just sucks. It did this the other day and I played with the dogs outside and when I came in I had real curly hair sooooooooo I guess I have the heat on too much for my hair (chis are cold natured so they're enjoying the dry heat though)

lushaholic · 01-24-2007, 09:44 AM

LOL, I wish I could go outside and get a warm humidity fix! Ok, I had less volume and my curls were more elongated, but still, it was a far cry from yesterday when I got disastrous results (probably from too much product), and my hair was scare-y this morning! I had no choice but to redo it. I used No-Poo + Activate condish this AM btw.

medusahair · 01-24-2007, 09:56 AM

Ah I love me some no poo! I was thinking of putting my half liter of embc on the swap board to try and get more no poo without having to technically spring for it.
It's 50 something here now but the humidity still helps.

How did you like the activate? I like that one myself. I used it in the summer with B&A gel and it gave me frizz free days. Which here is amazing.

cmartin1 · 01-24-2007, 10:18 AM

What is Trade Secret's going rate on this for the 12oz? I think I will only be able to find it there in my area.

Thank you!

lushaholic · 01-24-2007, 10:40 AM

I REALLY like the Activate! If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have a car to drive around today, then I would have gone to one of the 2 Walgreens out of 50 in the area that carry it.

Bailey sent me a nice sample of it and I've used it twice now. I didn't have to use much of it at all and I got excellent slip. That and the Kenra are the best conditioner finds I've discovered since being back in PJ land!
