I'm running low on conditioners and I'm tempted to head to Target to buy at least 5 Shea Moisture staples. Butttttt with my luck, Walgreen's will have a BOGO free as soon as I pay full price so I'mma just wait it out. :lachen:

Edited to add: I just checked Walgreens and they have Shea Moisture for Buy one get one half off. Nahhhhh I'mma still wait on the BOGO free lol I'm so frugal! Tee hee:giggle:

I bought a lot of products when I first started my HHJ, but now that I have found some staples, I don't need to purchase as much. Current products on my to-buy list are:
-Hot comb
-Trader joes tea tree tingle shampoo (I'm looking for a shampoo that doesn't make my hair frizzy, I'm open to suggestions).
-Joico moisture recovery balm
 
@mysblossom and @PureSilver So, I ordered the Salon Sundry Profession Salon Hair Steamer on Amazon. First things first...the instructions are non-existent and I read reviews about the model I purchased and I can confirm that there is no max fill line on the fill container. I used it for the first time last night and the condensation container on the front of the unit is really oddly placed and made me sit in a funny position. The position caused me to have to hold my head in a position where the hair just above and to the front of my ears did not get as much steam love. I'm going to try a different chair to see if I can work that out. The height adjustment is kind of interesting too because it is spring loaded but that its not really a problem for usage but for storage it could be a problem if you want to put it in a closet. That said, my hair was soooooooooooooo soft afterward that I can't wait to use it again. I'm going to try some different conditioners to see if it makes a difference but I'm definitely sold on steaming after only one use.

Oooooooo! So happy for you for the results! Please let me know if the seating/positioning ever gets confortable. Yay!!!! Seems like a good purchase. I want one, now! :laugh:
 
I gave in and purchased the Shea Moisture Professional "Clear Start" shampoo. My hair was DEFINITELY clarified. It feels SUPER weightless. I'll need to use it a few more times before I can tell if it does too good a job.

I did resist purchasing an additional product from the line. It was VERY hard to resist!!!: There was a $10 off with the purchase of two items. :cry:

I resisted because the reviews so far are sparse and so-so. So I spent $20 versus $30 and put the $10 toward some KCCC.

@mysblossom Update on my Salon Sundry steamer...I love it! As I said before, the instructions are non-existent. The hood is adjustable, it tilts. This makes my issue with the positioning of the catch basin and finding a comfortable chair non-existent.

Uh oh! Oh no! I think I am going to have to invest in one now. Maybe I will request it as a Christmas gift.

Sooooo glad it worked out as a great purchase for you!
 
I am tempted to buy a Maxiglide Flat iron but I have 3 flatirons already... :/
I don't think I need a forth but the teeth and the steam takes out my need of using two arms.. LOL
 
I am also definitely a PJ. I had kinda cured my PJism, but then I started doing research into straightening my hair..... I have my staples/regimens for my curly hair and for my hair in protective styles, but straight hair? Nada. So I made some purchases that I am just shocked at lol.:badgirl: And technically silicones are on my no no list, but not for when my hair is straight, since I need it in my straight hair DCs and serums.

Overall I am pretty happy with my purchases lol-- I just feel some type of way about falling off the wagon even if it was for a good reason:lachen:

It was for a good reason! Enjoy! There's so much actual bad stuff we could be spending our money on. Love for our locks? That's a good investment, IMHO.

I just created this thread to help those who really NEED to slow it down and for whom getting it out there in black and white might help. :laugh: Sometimes people reply with helpful advice, tips, alternate purchases, upcoming sales dates, discounted sources, etc.
 
I definitely need this thread too, because I'm....getting married next year and I need to save! But my hair!!!! lol so I will be on the sidelines, waiting for when I really think I have my straight hair regimen down, and then I will actually be able to participate fully. Thank you for this thread! @mysblossom

What! Congratulations, @alex114! :clap:

Oh, you're more than welcome!

This thread should still be here later on once you're ready ;). In the meanwhile, enjoy the sidelines and good luck getting down an AWESOME regimen.
