I've started a hair fund.

[robot.]

With all the product reviews, tutorials, and product junkies running around here, I always want SOMETHING new. My list grows every week. Alas, as I poor college student, I just can't afford some things.

If only I had my own little fund of monies to dip into should something catch my eye... :scratchch

Hey - GREAT IDEA!

I just recently BC'ed, so I don't have much hair to test on in the first place. So what I've decided to do is to inflict upon myself a strict NO HAIR BUY rule. I already have everything that I need, and they all work well. I am DEDICATED to using up those products first.

Then. I have a little container of spare change that I add to at the end of each week. I am going to focus on saving my change and growing my hair. Once my hair reaches SL, I will cash my coins and buy the items on my wishlist!

Or if Christmas comes first (which it will. SL is a ways off), I might just save my money. Aren't there stories of people saving for ten years and ending up with a bajillion dollars? (Not a bajillion, but you know what I mean).

Good idea

You Might Want to Join the Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge. But You don't necessarily have to Buy 1. This might help you use up what you have on hand already w/o "wanting" to buy more.

That way, you'll be completing all your products & saving your money for some of the things on your wishlist that you really want. And also figuring out what really worked well for you, what did not and why?

This Challenge, has helped me tremendously. This is the 2nd Full Week that I haven't bought any products. And I was buying something on a daily basis even as a Lurker (before joining) So, this Challenge has definitely helped.

Best Wishes to You on Your Hair Goals.

I've seen the challenge, but I never join challenges.

I usually pick up an item as soon as I'm at the store so I can talk myself into putting it down by the time I get to the register. So far, it's been working.

Whatever works Girl

But it will help to keep you focused. I had 50-11 things all open at one time and you know that doesn't make any sense

So, it's helping me use up all of that stuff before I open up anything else.

It is a really good idea. Use 1, buy 1. So simple, but I never would've thought of it.

It's really helping me to keep from buying things I don't necessarily need. I also don't buy right away. I let the product marinate for a while and then I buy it if I think I really want/need it.

When I first joined, I was an impulse buyer and still have got crap I need to use up.

this is a good idea. i have things that i need to use up also. i will try not to buy anything els until i use up what i have. i know this will not last. atleast i am trying!

I save ALL my change. I only pay for things wit paper money. Then I put the change straight in a jar. I save about $110 a year! You will have $$ in no time.

I do the opposite though. I always try to give exact change. It's a habit I've picked up from my mom.

If something is twelve cents, I'd rather just get a whole dollar back as opposed to a handful of nasty, dirty coins.

Is the year up already?

Great idea!

I have to do it, too. I will need that $ when I BC. The products I use and that my hair likes are KCCC and KT. Ecostyler gel is a close second and that isn't too bad. KCCC will be used only on special occasions to stretch a dollar.

Maybe you could experiment with cheaper alternatives?

I was going to buy a curl defining product that was $25.
Now, I'm going to try this instead:
