12/27/2011, Failed wash & go pulled into puff. Didn't slick my edges down :nono:

I did have my friend do a length check which helped us to determine I'm about 2 inches away from APL. But we also figured out my nape is struggling :sad:. So I won't be posting that one. I've also figured out I don't have thick hair but fine hair. It's all a learning process.

My moisture game is not on point and that is why my wash n go's have been failing lately. Looking like a poofy mess instead :lachen:of well defined coils. So instead of steaming with oils on Wednesdays I'm going to switch back to steaming with condish. It is winter after all and it makes sense to steam 2x wk with conditioner. I've also gotta get back to baggying. I keep saying I will and been playing. Oil rinses are back too. I swear why do we stop these things :wallbash:?

Mernin' Divas!

Just rubbed in some Hairitage Hydrations Castor Oil Infusion Hair Creme.

That's some really good stuff. It's like a really creamy butter that smells delish!:lick:

2 Thumbs Up on this amazing product!:grin:
 
I made up a list of products I want to use up by the end of February, my 25th birthday. I want to use up everything that is open so that I dont have a bunch of random stuff just open and lying around.

I lost the list.:lachen::lachen:

I am almost 2 weeks into this hair and its still sot and moisturized. Curl Junkie's Honey Butta is insane. I have added it as a staple becuase...if I can get almost 2 weeks out of one style and have it look good...its a keeper.:yep: I atually like the smell, I thouht I woudlnt but I do.
 
divachyk Girl, I was driving down the street on the otha' side of town (no where near the J-O-B), and saw a Coworker (who's suppose be at werk:perplexed) driving past me.:down:

Them Folks Scandalous:rolleyes:
 
Thanks divachyk

@IDareT'sHair
:giggle: at your coworker comment.

I'm thinking of actually carrying my tail into the Walgreen's instead of ordering online. I'm feeling like I won't have enough stuff during the no buy :look:. My Terressentials has been delivered to the office so I just gotta pick it up.
 
@IDareT'sHair - good thing she's a coworker and not an employee of yours. :lol: I was suppose to be off ALL week but noooo, I decided to be nice and cancel a few days of leave so that a couple of my employees can be off. It felt like the right thing to do then but I'm sure regretting it now.

@Shay72 - I truly don't know how long my stash will last if I used it continously without replenishing. Rather than buying reserve items in prepartion of the no buy, I will use what I have on hand at the current moment and should I run out of stash *that would be awesome btw* I'll just buy more at that time even if the no buy is still going. The way I look at it, I would have accomplished what I set out to do if I run out of stash.

I can't live with the thought of actually running out of my stash. I will just feel better by getting a few more things :look:. I do only plan to buy something during the no buy if I am completely out. Like if I have no deep conditioners at all.

IDareT'sHair
They will test the limits as much as they can :yep:. I can not get started on trifling staff :nono:.
 
@Shay72 Rollin' down the skreet on her cellie laughin'. :blush: Chillin'.:look:

I started to roll up next to her and give her the Stank Eye. :rolleyes:

This week they all gone be buck wild up in there *i can't say i blame 'em tho'*:look:

You know how Our Folks Do:look:
 
IDareT'sHair
100% of my staff work off site and are often working when I'm not so you know what kinda mess I deal with sometimes. For the most part I have fantastic staff. If not, they gone quick bc I do not tolerate foolishness when I am paying you.

I figured ya'll would get a kick out of this. So I was talking with my friend about hair and she was saying I would love to see your hair straightened. Especially since we had just done the length check. So she then asked me what my goal was. I told her SL. She was like curly? :yep:. She gave me a look. Then asked how long would that take? We both looked at each other and laughed bc we know....forever. She said that's because your curls are so tight. So I said of course when my hair is wet it is longer. So then she preceeds to say "Well, why don't you just loosen your curl pattern?" Ya'll she just didn't know any better :giggle:. I explained to her that would take chemicals and I don't want that.
 
Shay72 pretty hair
beautyaddict1913 Such lush hair

Whew, I am sweating over this no buy. I think I got everything I need to get her done. Still need tools, I lost my new mason person tail comb, and I want a seamless rake. 15% off is not enough for me to pull the trigger, but I might have to bite a least one come if that is all I can get, let me go take a look. I still have a aveyou and folica groupon that I am saving for product emergencies.
 
Thanks Seamonster

Got the nerve to be talking about my staff and I'm not in here doing jack :lachen:.

Imma bout to go growth aids crazy :spinning:. I have to figure out how I plan to work them into my routine. Right now I have Claudie's Elixir, Claudie's Temple Balm,Horsetail Scalp Bar from Hairitage Hydration, viviscal oil, taking visviscal daily, and taking silica daily. I'm determined to fit all them jokers in my routine. I finished the visvical conditioner and will finish the poo soon. For some reason I'm not interested in repurchasing those two.
 
Shay72 Im focusing on growth aides too lol. I use Claudie's on the day before I co-wash (every other day) and have been using BnB grow my hair butter on the days that I co-wash. It has been working out but its been keeping me greasy lol.

Hello all! I'm at work unable to focus and starving. I want to go home but I have a lot to get done so I am really debating if I should grab an extra late lunch and come back or just go home. My hair is really soft today. I slicked it back into this zing by spritzing my edges with hydra-sillica and applying Claudies gel and HV almond glaze over top. It layed down so smoothly without the need for a scarf. I think I will keep this method up. I got the idea from when I saw AfricanExport's wet bun video and she put grease on top of her gel. I can't wait to give wet bunning another try!
 
@beautyaddict1913
I've been :look: like why they keep talking about her hair bc I didn't see no new pics posted? Now I see it in your avatar. Beautiful hair :yep:.

ETA: Oops I missed an entire page of the thread :giggle:

Hey ladies! I've been on Etsy buying up jewelry. Is the no-buy just for hair products? :look:

I submitted my work from home request today. I had to wait until I'd been here at least 6 mos before requesting to do it full time. I'm ready!

Going to wash tonight and dc. Haven't decided what to use yet. Part of me wants to play with a twist style, but I have to remember my plan and stick to it. I may do a henna gloss though.

beautyaddict1913 Shay72 beautiful hair ladies! Beauty yours looks like it smells like candy :lol:
 
Brownie518
Thanks!

Now you know we all gonna do this No Buy in our own way. I plan to do it in 2 month increments as I suggested before. I hope to make it through the 6 months. I didn't end up going to Walgreen's. I looked up if the stuff was in my local stores and it wasn't. Well not really true :lachen:. I looked up the Walgreen's I wanted to go to.
