I failed the challenge on day 2 or 3. Just thought I should confess!

I do!! I kept avoiding this thread all month because I was so ashamed.

Hugs! If I have a misstep in April, I'll just be confessing! Lol! You won't be alone if you join again in April. This year I kept a running total of my hair spending amount in my siggy. It was embarrassing! Kept me from purchasing much more, though.

Girl, I failed the first month. My first time back

Hence the "low buy"

We get a pass, but once wasn't enough

I can do a low buy... starting in May. I did good for March but April is my nappiversary so I'll be doing lots of styles and doing a length check. I know I need a new hair dryer, more rollers, and some hair dye.

@Prettymetty i think you can do both in one challenge. Some can do no buy and others can do low buy. The trick would be maybe to create separate types of low buys? Holiday versus budget. I think I purchased one hair related product this month. So, budget wise, I'm good, but I only got the product because I could. Otherwise, I've been doing holidays. January and February I stuck to holidays as well.

I also would not allow the budget to carryover. But it needs to be a lower budget. Even $100 over 12 months is excessive. I'm going on 6m on one bottle of shampoo and conditioner takes me through 3 wash days. I don't think WNG are even that expensive to maintain.

Agreed, with the bolded.

I was just trying to think of a figure that wouldn't shock the folks who like high-end stuff.

Very thoughtful of you @YvetteWithJoy. I love me some Kerastase Deep Conditioners a lot. One 16 0z jar is around $100 and some cost even more

Maybe we should do a low buy where everyone sets their own limit in the very beginning and then the challenge will be to try to stick to what you stated on April 1st.

Good idea @CodeRed. I think I will still try to stick with just $100 for April because I don't need any of my high end DCs at the moment. I'm pretty stocked up for now.

I need a whole set up for my man’s place. I’m sure I have multiples of everything. I already have done xcel21 over there and other products. I need combs, pins and a durag too. I’ll go shopping in my hair closet and put it together. Just incase I stay the night and have to go straight to work from there.

I work Saturday school this week, so I need to have me hair stuff moved in before then.
