Fall 2016: On-hold, Wish List, And Not-just-yet Hair Care Purchases

[YvetteWithJoy]

Hi, ladies.

Waiting for word of a sale on a particular brand/line/item? Waiting for something to be restocked? Currently on a no-buy? Researching and mentally collecting items (that folks keep recommending and that sound so good)?

What's in your figurative or online cart that is on hold, is a wish list item, is not yet available, or is an item you're simply not ready to purchase just yet but likely will at some point?

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I'm on a no-buy, so I can wait, but I have yet to find my holy grail moisturizing deep conditioner.

Naptural85 made the Amika Rx mask sound so good.

I have a feeling one of my passes will be used to trial it.

ETA: In a couple of weeks I get to order my standing steamer. I really hopes this makes a big difference in my regimen.

AETA (also edited to add): I keep forgetting about the DCs that other hipo ladies suggested to me: Silicon Mix, Bee Mine DC, etc. I copied the thread into my hair journal and put those on my wish list.

 

[Sharpened]

My list has been slightly altered:
JAKEALA: Hair Gel Flaxseed Natural Curly Kinky Care
Smooth Naturals Hair Perfection
Aquis Adventure Microfiber Towel, Graphite, Extra Large (29 x 55-Inches)
castor butter
butter samples
oil samples

I have to test a whole lot of oils to see which ones will work best alone or mixed with castor oil. I need more headbands to keep my in-the-near-future greasy coils off my face.

I think I'm finally to a point where I will only purchase items on BF. And truth be told I can skip a good 3 or 4 and still be straight. I really want to eventually get to a point where I only have a year's worth of products on hand.

My Wishlist:

• CJ Repair Me
• NG Deep Conditioners
• Olaplex
• Komaza Recontructer & Analysis
• Uncurly Keratin Treatment

Finding out my hair really likes protein and I have less of that than any other group of products. This BF I'll probably hit up CJ and Komaza maybe one more with a 40% off or more sale.

 

[Guinan]

I desperately need hair appliances.

I plan on purchasing a standing dryer, a steamer and a CHI blow dryer .

Product wise, I need more KC, Millcreek protein and clay. I also need a spray bottle.

Some day I'd like to try stylers that are variations from gel, such as serums and gel creams.

Sevi has one: http://www.ecosevi.com/collections/style/products/argan-babassu-hair-styling-serum

Bounce Curl has a light creme gel that a NaturallyCurly blogger blogged about, that I think I want to try: https://bouncecurl.com/products/light-creme-gel-with-aloe

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I have tried so, so many things that I'm just in the revisiting stage. But, the only thing I want to revisit and I'll get on BF (other than Annabelle's) is Darcy's Pumpkinseed conditioner.

I also want to get some loaves of CCs Naturals soaps.

 

[Phoenix14]

• Q-Redew (been wanting this for over a year since I hate restyling my hair)
• Keratin Complex blowdryer
• Camille Rose products

I'll be back....

 

[BlackMasterPiece]

I wanna try a bunch of SM products and DevaCurl Decadence products, I'll stock up when they have a good sale, I'm trying to chill with all the purchases right now though lol tough balance.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I just finished reading this moisturizing DC thread.

I have GOT to find a moisturizing DC. I'm going to have to use a pass. It looks like good "gambles" include:

Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Hair Masque (LHCF hair-twin rec'd)
Silk Elements DC
Silicon Mix (original)
Bee Mine's DC
Kenra's MC
Neutrogena's Triple Moisture
Alter Ego Energizing Conditioner
Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner
Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle

There are others. Mm, decisions, decisions!

 

[AgeinATL]

Still eyeing the Texture Me Natural and Siamese Twists products but I need to get my stash down first. Depending on who has the best BF sale, I will make a purchase then.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

The idea of a customizable gel sounds neat. Definitely on hold if ever, though: I have several large bottles of gel already.

I don't use gel but this is tempting.

ETA: I should say I don't use gel for wash and gos or twist outs.

Bee Mine is great but....you don't like NaturelleGrow's marshmallow root DC? I think I love both the same.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Bee Mine is great but....you don't like NaturelleGrow's marshmallow root DC? I think I love both the same.

I have heard that BeeMine is great. Thanks for the confirmation.

I looooooooove that NATURELLEGROW DC. But it's weird for me: It detangles like MAGIC. I have tried moisturizing with it in many ways, but once I rinse it out, my hair feels dry again. I don't know what it is. Everyone else reviews it as uber moisturizing for them.

After this no-buy is over, I'm going to purchase about 5 jars of it: I don't ever want to detangle without it. Like . . . ever.

Girl me too! ST rarely has sales and TMN sells out too fast when they have a sale. It's frustrating! They better come through on BF...

Since your HiPo, do you think that's the issue?

Shipping isn't terrible so I won't be too upset, but I like to try new products at discounted prices.

 

[Aggie]

I have a few things in my wish lists that I'm interested in trying, like Jakeala, more 4 Bella Naturale and Terrenefusions products on Etsy. I want to try something from the DevaCurl and DevaCare Conditioners and No Poo line with a good sale of course. This stuff is expensive!

I want to try some RUSK products as well, especiallythe Deep Smooth Keratin Conditioner and the heat protectant products in this line. I hear good things about the RUSK Super Freak Flat Iron and Blow Dryer as well.

I'm sure there are others, but I'm too tired to think about them right now.

 

[long.hair.dont.care]

For appliances I'm really interested in getting a steam straightener.

Products:
Mill Creek Biotin Conditioner
KeraCare Leave-in
KeraCare Oil Moisturizer w/ Jojoba
Design Essentials Natural Twist and Set Setting Lotion

Maybe :
As I am Coconut Cowash Cleansing Conditioner - Im still debating on this one, because I dont know if I'm down for cowashing. I guess if i decide to wear my hair out often when its longer..
If i'm ever about that wash n go life, i'll try out : Deva Curl Light Defining Gel, Kinky Curly Curl Custard Gel, or maybe a gel from Camille Rose or As I Am. I already gave away my eco styler and still need to work through my gorilla snot and aunt jackie flax gel. Finding a staple gel is tough..

Silicon Mix was really good to me. It was one of the DCs I used regularly this year and my hairs retention/moisture level was on point.

I'm starting to think cowashing is also not for me. I like the idea of it, but not the actuality of it. I my sudsy shampoos so much it's hard to give them up .

I hear you! I love my Shea Moisture Shampoo and all its sudsyness ahah. I tried cowashing once and my scalp was sooooo itchy the whole day. Im only going to test it out again when I get to MBL, so it wont be near my scalp.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

The only product that actually defines my curls is DevaCurl Decadence One Condition. It's a r/o conditioner that my stylist used as a LI, so I've been leaving it in, too.

However, I am REALLY curious as to whether I can find a DevaCurl styler that defines my curls. So far I do like the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel for Hold. If I leave One Condition and jojoba oil beneath it, I get get moisture and hold.

The 4a reviews for the product Beautiful Mess make me want to trial this product: http://www.devacurl.com/beautiful-mess.html

Um, lemme add Siamese Twists (Olive and Bhringraj Cream, Sweet Potatoe Cream) and a Shea Amla Hemp Castor Parfait from Jakeala (I've tried it before and it worked great on my ends).

 

[Aggie]

Okay my list just dwindled a bit to just the Deva Curl No Poo and One Conditioner, Jakeala dope, honey hair thang, and beau vert conditioners, that feminine soap and parfait @NaturallyATLPCH keeps talking about.

The Rusk flat iron and blow dryer can wait until my current tools give up the ghost.

There's a hair product called "dope?"
