I wish I would have picked up a few more things from HV.

I guess I'll wait until Labor Day or whenever they launch Vatika Frosting for Fall.

 

[BrownBetty]

I may need until the 9th.
I need to grab more Marley hair for my faux locs and Saturdays are my best day to do it....

ETA: unless I find some online... Off to search!

Anyone you suggest for hair? I am suppose to get crochets soon and I am looking for hair. Can't find it locally...

I went with Sams Beauty (it was my first time purchasing from them).
I think @shawnyblazes has purchased hair online as well...

 

[meka72]

Despite my plans to buy up some stuff, I haven't bought anything hair related. Yay! I'm on the no-buy train to Labor Day with one brief reprieve for APB's sale in August.

Speaking of which:
I guess we will resume the N/B July 5th if that sounds reasonable with everyone?

Please let me know if you have different plans to resume.

@rileypak @Shay72 @shawnyblazes @curlyhersheygirl @meka72 @Aggie @Golden75 @flyygirlll2
@Brownie518 @divachyk @BrownBetty @bajandoc86 @lindseyerinc

We will start 07/05 and continue until the APB Sale starts.

My stand up dryer went on the fritz yesterday during the final phase of my wash day. I will be replacing that today.

I have a Bonnet one that I could use (as a back up), but want another Stand Up.

Sam's beauty. They ship pretty fast too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Picked Up a replacement for my Stand Up Dryer and also made another 'small' Sarenzo purchase.

However, for some crazy reason, I feel like buying something else. Lawd..I hope I don't.

I have until midnight to decide.

 

[divachyk]

Made very small purchases -
HairVeda Deluxe Whipped Gelly (used my rewards so my total wasn't bad)
Buy 2, Get 1 Free Headbands from Target
Wanted Komaza but I'm not in the mood to spend $65 right now...or whatever the sale is.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk
That's good news.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm thinking about just not using my dryer for the rest of the summer.

I usually dry about 80% and then twist.

I may just continue to forego the dryer for a the remainder of the summer and see what I think.

@rileypak
I forgot about this.

I've noticed where we've paid $8 & some change, on e-Bay I'm seeing it now for $18, 19, 20+.

LHCF!

Yeah Gurl *sucks teef* the durn price is almost triple from what it was.

I didn't even bother to check Am-a-zon.

*durn lhcf*

 

[notsodarkblue]

Although I have transitioning hair, I don't think my hair is about that wash n go life. It always looks stupid on me :-(

I feel you, my 4c hair struggles with wash n gos!

After getting 'ripped' off that one time, I said from now on, I'll make my own durn Tingle Oil.

It sounds wonderful

@rileypak
It's been working out nicely too. And I can control the intensity etc....

I hate that KJ messed up.

Cause I really hate mixing up stuff, but this has been working out great and it's much cheaper and I can make multiple batches.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Welp. Looks like I'm done for July4

I guess I'm ready to knock the next couple weeks out. I thought I'd use my pass for Sarenzo's Christmas in July? But I'll hafta' see how the discount's is looking.

I'd like to get my order before then, so if I wanted to reup on a particular scent. But I bet that's not going to happen.

I'd be totally surprised if that actually happened.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Looking forward to having quite a few more "empties" next Wash Day.

It will be a 'treat' during this next mini-n/b, to dig back into my Stash.

I have some really good stuff in there.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@rileypak @flyygirlll2

What Are Ya'll Doing?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I need to try to incorporate more Spritzes this Summer.

Right now I am using HTN's Follicle Booster.

I'll try to get through at least 2-3 Spritz by Labor Day.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I'm just getting back home from a barbecue. I just want another Vo5 Kiwi Lime Clarifying Conditioner. I'm pretty much done with the bottle I was using. I'm almost done with the Naturalious Rhassoul Clay Wash (have 1 more coming from Hattache).

Speaking of spritzes, that's what I'll be using in between washes. I have some from APB and NG that I will be putting into rotation for the summer. I plan to just air dry for the most part this summer cause it's getting hot and I really can't be bothered to do anything else.
