I reorganised my stash last night and it looks totally manageable. My hair's fairly easy to please I think so the smell of a product is a pretty big deciding factor. I own the most Curls items since I have all their curl creams, their conditioner, their cleanser and a couple of backups of a few of them. I just :love: that smell, my favourite smelling product and she consistently uses it for everything (except the gels) which works for me :yep:.

If I don't buy anything to BF :look: I think I could probably get rid of 10 items bringing my total number of products down to 22 :blush:
I'll try to only break the no buy for a good Aveyou sale which doesn't really count since I already bought that groupon and I'll be getting backups.

Right now I'm working on TIGI moisture maniac with KBB hair nectar and Hairveda whipped gelly.
 
I'll be getting some QB for Black Friday, and I still have my last Aveyou coupon to use up.

I'm trying to get through this KCCC, AOHSR (have 2 left after this) and KBB hair milk by September which I won't be repurchasing. Most likely I will use up one of my Curl Junkie Daily Fixes.

I am also getting my hair dyed again for my birthday in late September.

That's not bad Zaz if I didn't buy anything for BF I wouldn't even be close to 32:nono:
 
I haven't counted how many items I have. I know I've halved my collection by giving things away.

I found a bottle of jasmine's DC and another of Strinillah that I'm going to use first so I'm going to use that up by the end of August. I also have 1/2 bottle of Darcy's pumpkin and although I think its a very decent conditioner, that pumpkin smell is missing something for me to really like it.

And Yaaaaay my henasouq order came today. I'll be doing henna Friday using hannan's recipe.
 
Hello ladies and lurkers. I decided to put chunky braids in my hair to stretch it out, The twists would have taken too long. I got bored so I mixed some AVG, YTcarrots conditioner, Grapeseed oil and Tea Tree Oil for a leave in. My hair is still kinda damp and I put them in last night.:look:

Tell m why my sister is now all texlaxed and wearing her hair in a stretched out fro when just a few years ago she was hating on my TWA. I see you...I see you:lachen::lachen:
 
Afternoon D's!:grin:

Not feeling well.:sad: Wasn't on last night (will be on & off today). @13StepsAhead I was wondering if we have the same thang?:nono:

Nah....I wasn't Jarrin' Up no Sitrinillah or Bottlin' Up no Moist24/7 OR being Productjunkidiva's Alter Ego.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

My ASIAN arrived today. I got 2 Cleansing Puddings & some Double Butter.

Not sure if I'll do my hair tonight. Not really up to it.:ohwell:

But if I feel better later I will. If not, I'll do it tomorrow.:perplexed

Good morning, i need to stay out of this thread for a minute:rolleyes:NEVER:lachen: i love shampoo i keep trying cowash and it just not for me. Well Enso is getting my money again thank Ms T:grin: i git a coupon but can't find it i think its 15% off $75.
I just brought a new car yesterday pickup wed, honda crosstour, so them payment will reduce my pj:rolleyes:

@Ltown Nah....It is only 10% off (Enso). That 15% for $75 was for AveYou.:yep:

ETA: I turned in my Lease in '09 and Leased another Vehicle. And no...it doesn't slow down the PJ-ism.:nono:

I love those Crosstours and Honda's in General!:grin: Good Choice.

Afternoon IDareT'sHair! I hope you feel better because if we have the same thing I know you're feeling terrible.
 
oh yeah just finished twisting my hair. Use jasmine's shea rinse as my LI and I love the way my hair felt. Also, used up a CJ CIAB and i should be finished up with the Shea Rinse by the end of the week.
 
hey everyone
i took my two braids out today and did not like the way they felt:nono: they were all stiff and didnt feel moisturized. the dew doesnt seem to be working for me anymore.
so i cleansed with deep fix and detangled with cj smoothing lotion, then i used koils by nature leave in and smoothed my hair back in a zing. my hair feels light and fluffy so so far i like the KBN leave in. i doubt itll be a repurchase though, im not in love with it like i know some people are.
 
oh and i know ive already said this but i must say it again, the smell of the enso horsetail and aloe cream is wonderful. i have no idea what the smell is but i am loving it.
i smoothed some on my dry hair and it made it sooooo soft. this may be a keeper because nothing works on my dry hair at all which normal doesnt bother me because once i moisturize my wet hair i can go days without moisturizing again and be fine. but it would be nice to have something that i can slap on dry hair and have it work.
 
Hey Ladies! Under the dryer in Roux Mendex. Will Rinse it out in a minute & steam.

I thought if I got up and started moving around, I'd feel better.:sad: chebaby Thanks Girl.

I felt really feverish yesterday/last night. Now today, just kinda out of it.
:lol:
My Enso Shipped
Claudie Shipped
Njoi Shipped

So I got packages, packages, packages on the way! YAY!:grin:

mkd I really like the ASIAN Cleansing Pudding. :yep: I used it today.

It's a little more 'Shampoo-ey' than I would like, but it definitely cleaned my hair w/o feeling stripped. Good Stuff. Like a Creamy-Poo. If I need a 'Poo' that would be it. Otherwise, I'd stick with their Coconut Cowash.

btw: I decided to stick with Jasmines Honey Pear for my Steam. Maybe I'll use the Wild Strawberry Sunday. Didn't wanna smell it (for some reason:lol:).
 
im glad you are up and moving about T, but maybe you need more rest. i hope you feel better.
i know you will once the packages start rolling in:lol:
 
@chebaby Gurl:look:....I felt the "Life" coming back in me when I picked that ASIAN box up off the the Porch.:lachen::lachen::lachen:

btw: I did hear back from Enso. They are going to start making the Cleansing Conditioners in some of the Combo's they did the Shampoos in.:lick:
 
I have not completed the center section of my kinky twists...and I don't feel like completing it either. So, I decided to just two-strand twist the center.

I've noticed that Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm and the Aethiopika butter has left my hair amazingly soft (but no hold what-so-ever). This line impresses me with moisture...but nothing else. I'm looking for that product with hold and moisture...I'm not sure it's out there. :ohwell:
 
I may have typed too quickly...I forget about Oyin's Whipped Pudding. Oyin has some really solid products in their line-up. Honey Hemp, Juices & Berries, Burnt Sugar Pomade, Whipped Pudding, and Hair Dew.

On My BF Wish List:

Komaza Intense Moisture DC'er
Komaza Protein Strengthener
Komaza Shea Butter Lotion *after I try it and Love it*
Afroveda Ashlii Amala and Maybe that new AV Product although I 'doubt' it's worth $23.00

And just re-up on some stuff. Nothin' much really. Just whoever has the best Sales (I'm there)!:lol:

@13StepsAhead Girl, Me too.:blush: I had an important meeting 8-10 and I left about Noon.:sad:

I had Chills, then Burning Up. Unbelievable. That only lasted 24 hours. I felt 'slightly' better today, just drained tho'.:sad:

I read your response about the Hibiscus. So you think the Ginseng is causing the 'tingle' uh? I don't remember if I felt 'tingles':look:

IDareT'sHair I'm convinced we had the same thing:yep: It's so crazy how the changes in the weather can make one so sick. at this point I really don't know what it is in that Hibiscus, but my hair still felt AMAZING so the tingling really didn't bother me.
 
OT: In my sickly state I still managed to get in touch with 2 corporate recruiters in my field. I have an appoinntment to meet with one next Monday and the other on the following Monday. I'm so excited to meet with them because I know recruiters get on it when comes to "selling" talent.
 
13StepsAhead That's good 13, that you are still pursuing different employment options. Hopefully, you'll find something where your Skills can be maximized.

chebaby Hmp.:rolleyes: Shol' Do.:lol: Why would you just make 1 Conditioning Cleanser and all those wonderful sounding Shampoos? (Which was my exact question).:grin:

aluv Thought you should know, I will be able to get another cowash outta "Greenie" I coulda' used it up today, but decided to make it last until Sunday. I'll pull another one out too, for Sunday. So maybe 4-5 uses (if I do it right).:look:

I may use up: Greenie, Roux Mendex and maybe the Honey Pear on Sunday.:look:
 
My hair feels dry but itsstill in flat twists. Now I wish I had a spray on moisturizer (and not nobody's s-curl). I need to find a spray bottle and make something up.....

Think I'll order my steamer this week and not wait until BF. Unfortunately, there are no "small" ones except that table top joint and it just looks 'blah' to me.
