Another great give-away! Good Luck Ladies!
Did she already post who won ?
Nikki, are the submissions that aren't chosen to win the gift card still going to be posted at some time?
I would love to see posts on regimens for naturals who do "sweat intensive" workouts like bikram yoga. Twists are practical but I wanna be crrute too!
I want to win this..lol but im pretty sure we all do
FYI:
To those that buy SHEAMOISTURE Products saw this mentioned on LHCF. Starting this Sunday 8-28-11 there will be a buy one get one 50% off sale on Shea Moisture products. Will you guys be buying?
I did the Big Chop March '07 and haven't looked back. Every now and then I get it blow-dried and flat-ironed, but I begin missing my regular hair in short time. I also have a friend that was horrified by my TWA,Melbourne hair but has since become one of my biggest natural hair supporters.
Did she announce the winners?
I'm new to this whole natural thing and I would love to win this so I can try out new products
Who won all the give aways including the Thanksgiving ones?
I am for sure a real PJ, so it will be so nice to win these products.

Okay ... de ja vu much?!?!? I swear I said the same thing earlier this year and seeing the above just gave me the chills, because I thought, "What the heck? I didn't write anything on this post ... OMGosh!!!! I just realized that the post above is from February this year and it WAS me!!! LMBO!!!!!! And here I am again commenting because I'm a PJ FOR REAL!! LOL!!!!
Shelli
I need to clean out my cabinet and put in more junk just in time for Christmas.
Thanks Nikki and Happy Holidays!
I could use some new products. I'm still trying to figure out what works for me and what doesn't. This will take time though since hair products can get so EXPENSIVE. Bleh..haha
Happy Holidays everyone!
I need to win lol
Pick me! newnatural30@gmail.com
I love this site and the resources it has for natural hair! Thank you!
I'd like some new products! :)
Nikki I love your site! It is surely helping me on my journey so far and your hair is beautiful!
I would love this. My hair will not stay moisturized and I'm not buying ANY more products until I use up the ones I have. Praying and crossing fingers :-)
I have been a commenting fool! Nikki, save my parched strands! Condition me so I will not have to resort to a Cocktail! Corny I know, but I had to do it lol. Peace and Blessings.
Ooh I wanna win
-Jassy O.
What a wonderful array of goodies for your readers. You are too kind.
Awesome!! I hope I get lucky! :)
Hi , I'm 17 I just did the big chop and I got all my advice and inspiration from you ladies . I hope I win thissss !
I never win :( but I still try anyway!
@ Joie that's what I plan on doing because I feel the same way lol
Nikki....this PA weather along with the heat pumping in my house is doing a job on LUSCIOUS (my fro), yes please and thank you....I need those goodies.
twnzmome@aol.com
I NEED this cocktail DESPERATELY, PICK ME, PICK ME!!!!
This would be awesome for my hair!!!
*crossing my fingers* I hope i win!!!
Hey! This UNC student (me) could use a product :)
The winter is killing my hair, please give me a conditioning cocktail to combat this horrible-ness! [fleurdelis827@yahoo.com]
I hope I win one of those conditioning cocktails, 'cause my hair is dry as the sahara. I need some help.
I would love to win, maybe it would inspire me to learn how to start making my own products rather than being such a junkie haha
I dont know what conditioner works for my hair this winter! hope I win!
I would love to win some high end products and give them a whirl. Because of budget constraints, I lean on Suave naturals, olive oil, shea butter and home made aloe vera juice (I live in the Bahamas, aloe plants are every where).
Question does your hair stay moisturized because you do spray with water everyday or does it just hold it's moisture from hair washing session to hair washing session?
Yay Im really excited for this give away. It would definitely ease my worries about what products I should buy. Hope I win :)I will try my best to participate in all the discussions!
Am I the only one who noticed the date was for January 2011?
I find it hard to keep my new twa moist after the second day after a wash I am sparying with water and and product maybe I just have found "the one"
This would be so nice to win. I've been transitioning for a year & I need some products to help me stay on this journey!!
Oh My Goodness Nikki, look at the wonderful products in this giveaway. I mean it's just so huge, it's just so awesome. You really upped the anty on this one. I hope I win!!! Good luck everyone and Happy commenting!
Thanks for the givaways! I hope I win!
I love that you have corralled many of the products that we know and love all in one place. It saves on having to go to 5 different websites just to get everything I need :D
I've found my hair to truly need plenty of moisture during the winter season. My new wonderful remedy is pureeing avocado & smoothing it on my hair with extra virgin olive oil. I leave on for 30 mins or more with self heating cap. It leaves my hair moisturized for a week tops! Healthy natural hair with natural products but I still want to win the *cocktail* to see more fab results!
I love the site and the forums! Hope i can win something and the I'd love them more! Lol
Hi Nikki,is this only for girls living in USA?? I'm cuban, I'd loveee to win this, not many options here tokeep natural hair healthy.I'm actually transitioning for second time, too much flat iron killed my curls this time. Love your blog, I've learned soo much, thanks!
RV
Hey admin,
Thanks for shearing such a great information. This is really a nice post. I
like this post.
polar ft7
I'm crossing my fingers to win!...broke recent college grad that needs this lol :)
My hair is in true need of lots of moisture. I hope I win!
Ive been natural all my life, but Ive done so much damage to my hair... can it be repaired or should I too do a big chop? Hope I win.
The best giveaway ever!
Superwomanevelyn@yahoo.com
After a 17 month transition, I'm big chopping in 12 days, and from what I hear, I'm gonna need all the moisture I can get! Hope I win =)
I just have NEVER won any contests in life and I'm starting to think its me lol...my product junkism is at an all time high and that doesnt mix with broke college student so I hope I win :)
I recently stopped damaging my hair with frequent brushing, ripping combs through my hair, high heat straightening with no heat protectant, and blow-frying. As of now,I'm trying to find out my hair's likes and dislikes, which is hard because I have several different textures on my head. I just want my hair to be healthy, on the inside and out. I hope you select me!
I sure can use a conditioning cocktail, after filling up my tank of gas I do not have enough for conditioner, lol Please pick me!!!!!
mizzniecy@gmail.com
I'm always in the mood to try new things. I would love a chance to win!!!!
kcrummedy@hotmail.com
Transitioning for the second time with just 6 months post relaxer. This time I am armed with a littl more knowledge and a natural hair community to keep me motivated and informed.
I love trying new products...... but the product junky in me is on a forced hiatus.
That heat therapy wrap is calling my nameeeeeeee : )
I'm heading into my 13th month of transitioning and battling some major moisture retention issues...I'm trying to stay strong and fight the good fight though :)
Nikki,
This is a FAB-U-LOUS giveaway, and I hope that I will be one of the lucky winners ;). I am currently transitioning AND trying to find the products that best fit my current SITUATION....unfortunately my product allowance is running out and I am in need of some help!
***Question: I am a bit confused about the 1st way to win a basket...are we to comment on the articles that are posted on the last day of each month in order to qualify?***** Thanks in advance! -Mrs. Mck
I'd love to try some new hair products
Nikki,
I am transitioning for the second time around. I did the big chop in 2007 and had a TWA for a while which grew into a big bodacious afro that I had no idea what to do with so after the summer was gone, I didn't want to get braids or a weave I wound up relaxing again in Sept. of 2009.
I realize now that my daughter was watching my every move and her attendance to a private mostly other HS did nothing for her self-image and here I was saying inadvertently that being yourself isn't good enough.
Well, here we are in 2012 and I have been transitioning along with my daughter for about 5 months!! We are both excited and this time around with the help of forums such as this and BGLH I feel much more prepared to face the winter months without having to wear a weave or braids!
WE could REALLY use this give away!
Faye Wallace
Awesomeness!
I love a good giveaway!!!!
This is amazing!! me and my mother could really use this basket, our natural hair needs some rehab right now! My hair is just now starting to fill out from falling out due to a health condition and my mother has yet to find a product that does what she wants it to.
OMG..I so need this right now. I thought I had a regimen for my hair but it is just not working lately and my confidence for my curly do is getting low. I want to try new products but there are so many and right now my pocket book says no withdrawls. I need products...
Ayisha B
I've always wanted to try Oyin products!
wow! so many new products! i love getting recipes and ideas from curlynikki.
I honestly don't know what I would have done without CurlyNikki. If I had not found this site, I probably would have gone back to a relaxer instead of doing my BC in January. I came to this site for the very first time knowing nothing. Now, I'm fully confident in myself while wearing my hair in its natural state, and giving advice based on how I've interpreted her website's information. I appreciate the hard work that goes into helping our community out. Proof that this is the best information on the web for me came when I removed my headscarf and showercap (midday baggy) while I was at the mall and all my friend could say was "Oh my goodness, look at your hair!". I'm positive that I would not have had that episode of my journey without the help of the CurlyNikki family. I'm loving every moment.
This is soo awesome
Nikki,
I do not know where would be without your site. I just did BC today and I am soo ready to try new products on my TWA :D
Wow this post has a lot of comments! lol
Um, hell yes, I need this package...I cut off 90 percent of my relaxed ends after a 17 month transition...so you already know...I need some help...
Nikki,
You are God sent. I started on my journey of natural hair in June of 2011. I had no idea what I was doing or how to take care of my hair. Since finding your site, I have been blessed with so much information on how to take care of my hair. I look forward to stoppingby each day to see what's new.
Take care!
I love this website. I am the first young lady to go natural in my family and i would like to say that blogs like curlynikki have really helped me along the way with becoming natural and being successful at it, while having fun !!!!
Wohoo : )
yh I'm kinda dinero-challenged right now...winning this would make my year
I need some new moisturizing products. I suffer from dryness and frizz real bad! No joke. I would like to give these products a try :);)!!!!
Hmm...is there any way to buy it? (I usually don't have much luck when entering these kind of things.) I'm asking because I checked CurlMart and they don't have it. :( Oh well, I'll still try...
Winning this would be LEGEN-wait for it-DARY!
I would love to win this Conditioner Cocktail!!!! I have never tried any of these products and since I live in AZ this would help me through our hot summer.
I've switched back to strictly using conditioner and no shampoo, so I cowash often and cleanse every two weeks with bentonite clay, so this is right up my alley! Thanks for the giveaways!
I would really like to try the Curl Rehab and the Curls Whipped cream.
I would love to get this treat for my hair. I am in braid extensions right now but already yearning to pamper my hair!
I need this conditioning cocktail bad..I had to cut 2" of my hair because of badly split ends..I would love to try all of these and see which one works the best for my hair..
I'd love to try the Curls and Curl Junkie products as I haven't seen them here.
I would love to have some pamper treatment to these tresses I want curls, curls everything ...lol I want to find another stable and this also would be a nice early bday gift.... and I want to try and review new products in my journey on youtube and to get my blog going also(ideas popped while I wrote this lol).....I cant get enough ... of curlynikki...and need to try this stuff....sooooo badddd!!!!
I love your site! browse daily...hoping i win :)
Really hoping to win! I'm new to being natural & I have VERY dry hair.
Am I the only one that thinks being natural is expensive? I sure could use some free goodies to see if I can find my own holy grail.
Praying I win
My hair is dryer than it has been in months, this prize will help me greatly.
I am finally learning what my hair needs in the different times of the year. This moisture pack would have my hair on Cloud 9!
mrennie@att.blackberry.net

Awesome....although I don't know if i could handle another product right now...in recovery ;)
actually...this was for the other article ;)
I just wanna win something in my years of natural-Dom! Lol
I could really use some of those products in the conditioning cocktail. Have been dying to try AOHSR. We hardly get anything out where I live and if we do get something, it's $30+.
Teshawn B.
I'm a total PJ and would love to win one of these giveaways. Praying for favor...LOL
I would love to get my hands on the Ouidad line. I have another Ouidad product that was gifted but I am not a huge fan. I would love to try a new product.
I would absolutely love to win anything. I'm a super PJ, but I have to cut back now that I have a son.
This would be a wonderful gift welcoming me into the world of the NATURAL. I am soooo looking forward to my BC on May 20, 2012. I will have my first TWA ever! Would luv to REP this product.
thanks for the great giveaway-my curls are in need of something new to bring life and shine.
Hello everyone! I'm new to the site (this is my 1st post) and Im so excited to be here! Looking forward to more posts so I can win this prize. PS...thinking about signing up for curl to curl....trying to gather some gumption to be out there in cyber world. Lol. HI NIKKI! Love the site and all that it does. You've been so helpful in helping me learn my hair and how to care for it! :)

-This is my story. The life of a PJ.
I really want to try some new products.

hey was just stopping hoping to win lol
I hope I win ! *fingers crossed*
Hey Nikki, I saw your previous post on the Ouidad products, and wanted to mention that they sell select items in Ulta stores. Not sure if there's one in Happy Valley but I found them in Pittsburgh :)
My mom really wants to try Ouidad, so I hope I win it for her :)
If you want to win, you are supposed to comment on the OTHER ARTICLES/POSTS, not this one.
Hey Nikki!!!!!

Im from england and we have lack of natural hair products and hard water (it sucks)

I have never entered one of these contest. I'm so excited I could burst!! Lol
One month a girl named Asia D. Won a basket. My name is Asia Davis so naturally I thought it was me but after I e-mailed Nikkie my address with multiple smiley faces and posted mulitple tweets about how excited I was to have won something from my favorite blogger she told me she was looking for an Asia Deets. Dang. Lol
Entering the competition in all three ways
It would be good to win something with lots and lots of goodies inside! I'm excited and no one has told me I won anything yet!!
This should be fun!! I could really use some moisturizing products.
Like for real who is better than CurlyNikki? newly natural i now come to this site daily!!!
I have entered everything but I never seem to win anything and all I really want is a hair steamer because my hair is always dry but I can't afford to buy one or any good products either. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
The best thing that happened to me this week is that my hubbie opened up to me about something that took place 3 days ago and didn't hold it in for weeks like he usually do :)
the best thing that happened this week.....my daughter graduated from Amherst College debt free!! Yes!!
the best thing that happened this week.....my daughter graduated from Amherst College debt free!! Yes!!
Its amazing and inspiring how your site has grown and you are able to do all these awesome giveaways! We all appreciate it!
I would love to win the cocktail I'm newly natural but I'm dealing with d
So many hair issues like breakage , split ends ect I really don't know what to do about it anymore
Zainab
I better submit something then!!:)
I am a new product junkie but not for me. I do my kids hair and my mom's. I love them so much I will comment on every one. lol
Thank you for the giveaways, these are awesome for women who are just starting out with natural hair because they keep you motivated to be an active participant on the site and at the same time they help you because you read everyone's comments and learn something new.
of course i entered this
Peace: I am encourged to write on every post, as I lv ur blog (Bella)
I wanna to try Ouidad so bad but its too expensive to sample...Maybe I'll make a trip to Sephora soon and try out some trial sizes...Im poking out my bottom lip LOL
Did anyone when for the month of May??
I need to win the cocktail bad!My hair and budget is dried up so I have to hold off on my products spending.....sigghhh :(
Love the site, entering contest.
Who won the PJ's Dream basket on May 31, 2012? Does anyone know?
Count me in!
Would love to win.
Nicadams
I need this basket in my life! My hair has been really dry lately :(
I just entered, good luck everyone. I am keeping my fingers crossed because the way my hair is looking I need a miracle from Dr.miracle lol.
Just like last month I will continue to write on every blog, to win would be a bday gift & Xmas all wrapped into one.
Brooke B.
Roses are red
violets are blue
I know you guys wanna win
but dammit me too!
Def gonna try and win this month!
Just sent a hair idol interview:)
I want to win.
I love freebies, thanks for the giveaway!
Oh goodness! I want and NEED to win! I have like NOTHING!
Okay my TWA is misbehaving and Im not sure what to use so this basket would be a good way to try out new products...I purchased the Ouidad curlkit over the weekend and I love it just not for my TWA... I used it to twist and curl my moms hair and it turned out fabulous...I let her keep the kit and I'll revisit the prodcuts once my hair grows out...
I would love to win so my mother and I can try some new products we are both natural and she really is the only person I know who is natural who is close to me. We both straighten our hair on occasion or for trims. Hope I win.
Megan Montgomery
So I'm kind of confused am I suppose to comment after every post she makes or after every post mentioning the contest? I really need this basket to curb my pj addiction, call the basket rehab and I would so love a basket full of great products for me and my little curlie!
Shayla Smith

This is awesome I usually don't have luck when it comes to these things but would love to win so I can figure out what to put in my hair.
Thanks for all the giveaways and helpful articles. Hope I win (and so does my TWA lol). Have a blessed day!
Thank you Nikki, I mean the giveaways are nice. I HEAVILY rely on your site to navigate this process of going natural.
Great prizes!! thanks for the cool giveaways
Love your blog, Nikki, and I would love to try some new products! (Sheena)
Thanks for the giveaway, Nikki!
WOW!! This time i am participating! Thanks for the opportunity!!
I REALLY want to win this one because...
1) I don't have a Facebook Page, so I can't participate in that drawing and
2) It's summer, and my hair is parched! Plus, since there's a drought the municipal water district wants everyone to use less water - so no more running the shower just to make my bathroom steamy!
Awesome! I love the CURLS line and I've been wanting to try the Moxie and Curl Junkie lines!
I really want to try some of these products!! I hope it doesnt awaken a pj though.
Please, Please pick me, how I want to win.
No Facebook so what's a girl to do but leave some comments right. I absolutely love love love the Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose, Curl Junkie Rehab, and Original Moxie pluuusss it comes with the Curls and Oyin Juice that are on my "really wanna try" list.
Well Good Luck Curlies.
I am addicted to this blog! I have been natural off and on for over 10 years and never had a hair care regimen. So, I have no clue what to use, when, where or how lol. But I am learning:) Count me in!
I'm 17 and I have been natural all my life but I never really knew how to take care of my hair until a friend of mine introduced me to this site. Now I know what my hair needs. I love your giveaways and articles and I will be really glad if I win.
