~~*April 2008-What Did You Buy This Week?*~~

[Eisani]

I was looking at the ingredients for this and I don't see what about it will correct color. Not a permanent one, at least.

Ascorbic Acid, Dextrose, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Betaine, Silica.


Here are the ingredients in their hard water treatment:
Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Betaine, Silica.


Not much difference.

I don't know about Bigen or whatever else, but I got it based on my friend/stylist's recommendation to remove MY semi-perm color. As far as what ingredient(s) does that, I really don't know or care as long as it isn't harsh which she said it wasn't so I'm willing to try it for $3.50/pk. Perhaps it's the concentration levels of ea ingredient that makes a difference. Just looking at the two you posted, the dextrose and ascorbic acid are flipped...just a thought. I plan on posting a review once I get it and use it so we all shall see

I apologize if you were bothered by my inquiry.

I don't buy much anymore, but I just ordered Surya Henna's other three leave-ins -- the Maximum Nutrition with brazil nut oil, the Anti-frizz with acai extract and the Curl Shaper with pequi oil. I also ordered my second bottle of the Volume Reducer with tucuma and capuaca butters. I first ordered the Volume Reducer in January and have been utterly and completely happy with this and the color fixation (with buriti oil) leave-ins. I mix them together in the palm of my hand and they instantly hydrate, soften and detangle and keep my hair that way through the next day. They are less than $7.00 per 10 ounce bottle and have great ingredients.

ETA: Just bought Taliah Waajid/Black Earth Protective Mist Bodifer from Whole Foods. I went leave-in crazy today. I probably have enough now to last a year.

No apology necessary, I'm not bothered just a serious case of PMS

[lovinmylocs]

I was good in March - hardly buying anything but this month I've been bad, bad, bad. I ordered from lotioncrafter.com - I have some silk amino acid, honeyquat, raspberry seed oil, glitter , and some shealoe. I also ordered my Ovation for that challenge and some stuff for my nails (they are terrible) and about 4 polishes I don't need.

As usual too much. Order from www.lotioncrafter.com silk amino acid, honeyquat, and aloe vera juice. I also ordered avocado and red palm butters. Also, bought some henna and Vatika oil. I am going to have to hid this stuff from my husband. He's starting to look at my crazy every time I bring home a bag or a package arrives.

That is why I have my packages sent to work and gradually bring them home. When I'm asked "how long have you had that" I can honestly say a couple of weeks since they've been sitting at my desk for two weeks.

 

[filthyfresh]

Six bottles of Suave Milk & Honey Conditioner which I had an LHCFer ship me from Cali.

EQP Oil Recovery Moisturizer - on sale at Sallys for $1.99
3 bottle of CON (red label) poo - on clearance my local K-Mart for $2.49

I've seriously toned down my PJism a bit, but I think it may be starting up again. Now I'm wanting to try BedHead products and Sebation's Potion 9 (darn you foxxyroxie)

[Platinum]

I'm trying to fight the urge to buy something. Well... if I see any Surge 14, I'm going to get it, nothing else.

 

[bbdgirl]

I bought from Target Garnier Moisture works conditioner, 25.4 oz and 8 oz together for 4.99
and 13.5 oz of Garnier strength and repair conditioner for 1.99 (there was a $1 coupon on the twin pack)
I really like Garnier products, to be honest they are like pantene; if you read their ingredients list on the back of the bottle they are all pretty much the same...oh well

Can't wait to try this tonight....

redken smooth down butter treat

 

[krissyprissy]

Went to Biglots and found some Activate
Purchased the conditioner and treatment and two hair accesories.

 

[onejamifan]

Yeah, after VOWING not buy anything new until I finish most of my products, I found myself perusing the hair isle at my local Target and found that these people are now carrying lines like Keihls, Kerastase, and Clarins It is the fist time I've seen those in Target... but any way, I digress.

I bought a bottle on Suave Humectant Conditioner (on sale)
tube of NTM strengthening treatment
Sunsilk Captivating Curls Gel & Cream Twist

Not sure why I bought any of these items as I'm really happy with my current reggie... maybe the pj in me needed a hit!

That's a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that one!
