August 2017 What Did You Buy This Week?

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Hair E-Sistas!

New Month = New Sales

Time to Stock Up on Staples, Must-Haves, Holy Grail's and Sales!

So....What Did YOU Buy This Week?

 

[Aggie]

Nothing today. Still don't need anything just yet.

 

[blue_flower]

Nothing yet. Maybe towards the end of the month.

Nothing today. Still don't need anything just yet.

Your statement made me laugh. I'm a PJ do we ever NEED something to buy it?

All I need is a sale or not, a pusha( I see you @IDareT'sHair ) , my debit/credit card, innanets, and my paynuh fanga in pristine condition and a purchase will go down dis way

Chi 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray . . . but I'm going to swap it out for Chi Total Protect.

I let the sales lady talk me away from my research in the moment!!!

 

[Nightingale]

From Amazon:

x1 Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash brush

x1 Tangle Teezer Thick & Curly



The brushes don't look so evil in person. Bristles are flexible and soft, but I still wouldn't risk it on dry hair. I'll try both out next wash day.

True, true. Real PJs don't really need a reason to buy anything at all. Lately I've been becoming a garden junkie. Getting all sorts of plants for the garden in my yard and almost running out of space to put stuff . Such is the life of a PJ - when it's not one thing, it's another .

Have you used that collagen before? If so, what were the results?

Don't I know it!

I have used neither one yet. I have been making and eat bone broth (beef, pork, chicken) for years, but it is not working like it used to.

@Sharpened I've had some of this in a cart for the longest time. Have you tried it before?

I just tested it for a reaction (negative), but I plan to use it for hair and skin. No strong or offensive odor either.

I've used both. The Sports Recovery is good especially if you are active. It's not as good as aminos, but it works. My only issue is it bothers my sinuses and I can't figure out why? I keep it for backup but I don't prefer because of that side effect. I'll be fine, start using it and a week later, my congestion is on 100. Otherwise, my skin is very plump when I use it.

The Neocell is good, just as good, but their derma matrix is better. It had Collagen 1&3 and I'm guessing 2 (hyalauronic acid) so it works a tad better. When I'm using it consistently, I omit stand alone HA from my facial regimen. It also has vitamin c and amla fruit extract. My skin has been soft (there is a thread about this over in the makeup forum) but it does help with hair.

When it comes to hair growth, nothing beats using aminos, but they are pointless if you do not work out. The Neocell Derma Matrix is second best. Followed by the 1&3. Sports Recovery is good but it's my least favorite. I still recommend it, because it's good, but it's my least favorite.

Aminos. I have zero experience with them. How do you take them? Can you post a link to your favorite? TIA.

Aminos are just aminos powder that you use as you work out. They sell it in health stores and brands I use are Isopure and Optimum Nutrition. They are especially for people who lift weights. You just put a scoop in water and drink it as you work out.

They are pointless to purchase because they cost a lot and are a higher and purer grade of amino acids. You also get way less. The powder is finer too. If you aren't working out, I don't see any real point in using them. Collagen is better.

DD used a good portion of my Eco Olive Oil to make slime so...I had to purchase a replacement. I go back and forth between Eco Olive and Eco Agran. This week I bought Eco Argan & Eco Protein. Look at me keeping my hair purchases under $10 this week! Whooo hoo!

I love EVERYTHING about this post.

I bought these last week but forgot to post:
Garnier Damage Eraser Shampoo and Conditioner
Garnier Damage Eraser DC (Strengthening Butter, I think it's called)

I'll be going to Sally's and Kroger so I'll be back .

Gurl...I'm super intrigued with the Direction your Stash is headed.

Me too
It will include more OTG shampoos and conditioners. I think the only things I'll purchase online are Jakeala's Silky Hair Oil, and APB Not Easily Broken DC, and Honey Molasses if I like it. APB Refresher Sprays as well.

Those are the only things I'm getting online. Cleansers and conditioners will be on the ground.

Nah, I'm not wasting money on the unknown. Jakeala and most importantly, APB, will always get my coins .
I will dabble here and there but only to revisit brands. I do not have the money to keep wasting on trying newbies, they should've been around during my splurge days .
