Welcome ayjacks and glamchick84. I have added you both to the list.

ayjacks--I see you changed your mind. I'm sure you do need to buy a thing or two.

I've decided not to buy the follicle invigorator. Maybe another time.

Yes, I decided to join.I ordered a few things today, so I should be good for the next three months.
 
One day down! How was it? No probs here.

One thing I know I will need to keep an eye on is that my spending in other areas doesn't get out of hand while I'm not spending on hair products. I do know that I need to buy some skincare and body products.

Hoping to finish all my hair products uppp.. so I can get some new product in 09

Plus this is great discipline, I need to learn to only buy products when I've finished with the one I have....

lol there is always something to spend your money on!:lachen:i have a crapload of VS sprays and lotions(mmm...lotions might need more) and proactive boxes that i have yet to open. so this will be the prefect time to finally use some of these things up:grin:
 
okay cash in one of my free passes. i bought a mild relaxer, i was to afraid that the extra strength was going to make me bald. i tried to go before the challenge, but they were out of stock. i saw the normal and scooped it right up :(
 
I'm doing very well. I haven't bought anything since my Hair Veda order mid-September. The problem is I've added several more items to my list after the challenge is over. :look:
 
It's no wonder I've never joined one of these challenges before...

I discovered that the restriction makes me want to buy stuff.
Without the knowledge that I'm not supposed to, I don't usually feel compelled to get anything. Knowing that I CAN'T, however, makes me feel like there is an immiment hair product famine that I need to be prepared for! :lachen:

I know, right? I'm hoping by the time January rolls around I will have forgotten and don't even care about those products.

I'm doing well. I am really focused on finding myself some natural or organic body washes and face products so I'm sure that is helping. My HairVeda products that I ordered on Sept 26th are here. I am really set for awhile.
 
:sad::perplexed Um so I need to cash in a pass. I bought some DPR-11 b/c I'm increasing the number of times I dc per week.
 
I got rid of 12-15 products all in one weekend! My SO's family came over for dinner and took home a bag full of products. Pantene R/N Masks, Aubrey Organics, Regular Conditioners, Hot Oil Treatments, Avalon Organics all gone! I'm so happy that I'm whittling down my stash to my staples. I will definitely have enough to still get me through Jan too.

That's great you were able to get rid of things you didn't need.
 
Its gotten to the point where I have my whole family involved. Whenever we go to Target or Walmart, my mom makes sure I dont go into the haircare isle. So far so good!!!!

You do what you gotta do, right? Its great that your family is supporting you. What's funny about me is I like to go look. I don't think its that tempting for me bc I am quite satisfied with my current products. I need to start researching hair steamers bc I know I will be earning it and I can't wait.
 
I used a pass. I didn't buy a product though I bought a hair tool. I purchased a ceramic styling to blow out my hair. I also bought a package of rollers. I'm still haven't bought an actual product.
 
I used a free pass to buy a leave in moisturizer. Jcpenny has buy one get one for 88 cents!!!! LOL not that I'm trying to tempt anyone.
 
Girl, I tried the window shopping thang. It doesnt work:nono:
I was almost in tears 2 weeks ago in GA when we kept passing bss. This one place was solely dedicated to wigs. I was hurting bad:wallbash:

It's great that you haven't bought an actual hair product. That's where my issues lie. I will reflect your pass in the OP bc hair tools do count.

I always ask myself do I really need that for my hair? Right now I feel like I am wasting time with some of the products I'm using bc I need to use them up before moving on to what I really want to use. That's why this challenge hasn't been that bad for me bc I never want to go through this again.
 
I started off doing that but you know as a PJ, we ALWAYS need it, lol
