IDareT'sHair, is the fiddy still going on?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Oh Yeah...Speaking of Marie Dean *cough cough* They have a $5.00 Flat Shipping Fee.

So I guess that off-sets them high prices.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@IDareT'sHair, is the fiddy still going on?

mkd Only At the Store (Brick & Mortar)

From my understanding, the On-Line Store will remain Open. (No Sale there).

I've been using the nioxin and didn't realize that I got 1/4 in 2 weeks. I noticed the growth becaused I used Bigen to die my hair and I see the new gray growth. (Also my to nails are scraping the inside of my shoes)

Hey divas I convinced the man unit to buy me my terressential washes in cool mint and left coast lemon. I threw on the sad face and he just fell for it. But as soon as he saw the price, he said don't ask me to buy you nothing else.

*beat boxing*

Jokes!!!!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

It's such a treat! And it smells so good. Too bad it's so expensive.

@Brownie518

I know.

I was dying to buy something last night but I resisted. I want to try and use up something when I wash later on.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Imma Swap Ltown some HV for some Claudie.

So, I'm excited about that.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Brownie518 I should be using up alot of stuff soon too.

I'm right on track with the Stuff I wanted to use up.

Too bad I started buying like a Mad Woman.

But my Fall Stash is in a good place.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Where Errrbody GO?

*kicks rocks*

 

[Minty]

Girl I was getting my eat on. What's going on.

 

[divachyk]

Hello ladies, hope you had a blessed day! I heard back from my Enso buyer She is still interested. Hopefully I can get a payment no later than tomorrow and mail out her items on Monday.

Here's what I've been up to lately. I cleaned underneath my bathroom sinks and pulled out every Sally's product. Some used, others unused. I tested out Sally's return policy. They cherry picked which items they'd allow me to return. I was left holding the bag on some but most were refundable. In all, I got ~$50 Sally's store credit. Not sure how/what I will use that on but I'm on a quest to streamline and get rid of the overages and unusables.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Hey ladies Just got in I went to the mall to return/ exchange some things then we went out to dinner. I'm so tired I was going to co-wash, but I don't have the energy. I think I may want to try Claudie for BF.

 

[Minty]

let's do it divachyk. I started....but um its a weekend project at this point. I got tired and walked away.

 

[divachyk]

Minty - let me be honest it took me several weeks, okay a month, to pull out the items and return them BUT operation Sally's take-back is done (sorta)! I still have a bag of items that I might try to return to another Sally's location as it seems the stores have a flexible return policy. Some will allow you to return products that are more than 50% used while other locations will not accept anything more than 50% used. I've made out so I'm happy with the refunds allowed to date. The products I returned were purchased during year 1 (last year) while I was learning my hair. I went on a Sally's haul lol: first time every saying the word "haul"). The return period came and went, hence the reason I was left with so many Sally's items. I've sense learned, purchase only what can be used immediately so that I can return things during the review period with respect to items purchased via a retail chain.

 

[Minty]

I hear you Diva. I'm trying to not throw everything away. Now that I have a comfortable reggie, I'm alittle reluctant to just use up products. But at the same time, sometimes I pull out oldies when my hair needs alittle something extra. - This is when using products w/preservatives really comes in handy. LOL

This month I'm opening and having folk help me get through
* 24 Moist and Amala - won't be repurchasing.
* Strillnilla - okay, but not repurchasing.
* Some misc. Redken DC - okay, but they leave a coating

I got quite a few things, like Syntonics and Keracare's natural line, I'll probably put on the exchange. They are really good products but not for me.

Mizani stuff - exchange or someone pay for shipping lol.

 

[Eisani]

I'm cramping like a mutha so no hair washing tonight. I'm about to put my feet up and rest. And e-browse. Can't sit here and do nothing.

 

[divachyk]

Eisani - feel better Here's a pick me up that straight up troof...everytime I see your siggy, I just think your hair is gorgeous. What's the color?

 

[Eisani]

divachyk Thank you! The color is Original Colors Cellophane in Canela from roundbrushhair.com

Okay so I received my BirchBox today and got some cool samples. If you're interested, drop me a PM your email address and I'll send you a BirchBox invite (getting my hustle on). You don't need my invite to sign up but if you sign up under my invite, I get BirchBox points that can be used toward future purchases. Membership is $10 monthly for what they market as high quality samples. This month was my first shipment and I received:
1. Caudalie Eye Cream
2. Fix Malibu Exfoliating Powder Wash
3. Number 4 Hair Mask and Shampoo
4. Zoya Polish in Pandora
5. Hair Twistband

Never heard of these items but I will use them. I'm not a makeup buff but this will help me to try out neat beauty items (hair, nails & makeup) without busting my budget.

 

[chebaby]

so im treating my hair right now. i misted my hair with water to loosen it up, slathered in evoo, then slathered in claudies protein and now im sitting with my bell nutri cap on. had it on for about 10 minutes and will rinse in about 20 minutes.

i used up my claudies protein and do not have a back up.
i am really close to using up everything i said i wanted to use up before i purchase anything else i still have to get through honey hemp(one use left), smoothing lotion(one use left) cj rehab, cj deep fix, jasmine shea rinse and jasmines a&s. oh and HV whipped ends and komaza shea lotion.

 

[Ltown]

Hi ladies, cool day!

IDareT'sHair, thanks for the swap sending out today.

Nothing new with me and hair, doing it less so i'm not using much of any products so don't need anything.

 

[Eisani]

Good mornting Up early to take dd to her nail appt and get my oil changed. This rain is making me want to sleep and I'm still a bit achy but life goes on. Ulta is walking distance from the dealership so I guess I could kill time in there. I'm oiling my hair with my amla/brahmi/bhringeraj and lavender eo mix while I'm out then hopefully washing when I get home. I HAVE to get trimmed today.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Eisani Ltown Mernin' Ladies. Glad someone else is up early!

I'm under the dryer w/Tigi Dumb Blonde Reconstructor. Will rinse this out in a bit and Steam with Enso Cacao Deep Recovery.

Also have a few errands to run, so I hope it doesn't rain on me.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Eisani Oh Yeah....Don't let'em "Trim" too much.

 

[Eisani]

IDareT'sHair I'm not even worried about that with her. She did my hair for 12 years, had wrist surgery and partially retired so I switched to someone else that she actually trained, but the other girl is getting married next week so she's been busy. They're the only two I let touch my hair and I know they won't give me a bald fade .

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Under the Dryer. Should finish up 1 CTDG next wash day (have 1 opened b-u) and also should finish up Tigi Dumb Blonde (1 back up) and maybe the Enso Deep Recovery. I may get 2 more out of the Enso.

When I finish up this Enso, I'll go back to Jasmine A&S Wild Strawberry. I sitll have another 1/2 Jar of Enso Deep Recovery to get through tho'.

I had 1 16 ounce already open and ended up getting another 1/2 16 ounce Jar) on a Swap (maybe more like 3/4ths of a Jar.

No Complaints cause I Lurves it. Yep. I Shol' Do.

 

[bronzebomb]

@Minty

Hmp. I ain't mad. And my Stuff Shipped. So I'm good.

Like I said, if she/they, AV or whoever else comes out with something I'm interested in, I'll buy it.

And I still say, I bet halfa' them folx ain't even bought no Earrings or no Enso. (Trippin')

I asked who was scammed from Frank and Myhrr and Enso...no one answered, which made believe that most of them were just talking and venting. I'm a firm believer that we "gets" our money back..."hook or crook"

No one has been scammed with Enso, right? I think that thread is a over-the-top.com

I understood the grief with AfroVeda...my Totally Twisted seperated. HairVeda gave us our money back or another product...that's what real companies do...

On another note...I was really trying to pruchase something from CurlMart. But the shipping is too high.

 

[mkd]

I wish it would rain here, it is sooooooo hot. I grabbed a bottle of porosity control because I am about half way finished with my current bottle. I finished a set of aphogee 2 step last night. I will pick up another in about six weeks, the next time I will need another treatment.
