Oct 2017 What Did You Buy This Week?

[divachyk]

Nothing. I'm trying to keep it that way.

 

[GGsKin]

I stumbled upon a spice shop yesterday and managed to limit myself to:
Dried Hibiscus Flowers
Fenugreek Seeds
Raspberry Leaves
And some small goldplated storage tins.

My hero!

 

[rileypak]

No hair items surprisingly...

Skin and makeup is a whole other thing entirely though

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Been so focused on using up stuff that when I went to wash my hair today, my stash was pretty much non-existent, so I had to skip wash day. Had an excuse to #HaulSoHard

Henna Sooq:
2 Bhringraj powder
2 Amla powder
1 Brahmi powder

HairVeda
2 Methi Sativa Tea Set (pre-order)
1 Acai berry cond

Collective Haul from Target & Curlmart:
1 Kinky Curly Curling Custard
4 CR coconut water treatment
3 CR coconut water leave in
2 CR coconut water style setter
1 CR sweet ginger rinse
1 Curl Junkie Daily Fix
2 Curl junkie Smoothing Lotion

Want to get a few more things from Hairveda on Black Friday, and I should be set for a hot minute.

[keranikki]

Whole Foods did a 25% off body care sale this weekend
KC Knot Today & KC Curling Custard - trying for the first time since it was on sale
Marula oil

I enjoyed this sale also and picked up the same products along with Castile soap, essential oils, and Jason's Biotin conditioner.

 

[keranikki]

Sunflower oil

Ran out of grapeseed oil and I wanted to try something new. It's a thicker oil so it should be perfect for sealing this winter.

I love sunflower oil. I use it as a body oil mixed ylang ylang during the summer. For the fall, I added sweet almond oil and it feels like velvet on my skin. Oils are awesome.

 

[keranikki]

I purchased aloe vera powder, mango butter, rose buds, and turmeric powder. I want to try my hand at making a whipped butter.

 

[Taleah2009]

Tooo much. I haven't been focusing on my hair for the past two yrs so I had to lot to buy:

As I am leave in conditioner
Pibbs dryer
Perm rods
mane setting mouse
curls blueberry bliss jelly
She's moisture curl enhance smoother
Aphogee protein treatment
She's moisture hydrating mask
Scissors
Mirror
Spray bottle
Denman to replace the one I had that I can't find

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

A set of those hair bands that look like the spirally telephone cords of old, to see if I'll finally be able to make a bun.

A couple of glass jars with locking lids to hold a couple of my DIY mixtures.

I easily resisted Ampro clear gel due to its ingredients, despite the Sallys lady's high confidence that it would indeed give me crunch. (I'm very curious about Vatika gel.)

KareCo detangling brush

@YvetteWithJoy

I hope you love it! If not, send it back home to WalMart. Lol.

With that brush, I lose verrrrry little hair, and my whole head is detangled fast!

Tip that works for me that might also work for you:

I detangle my ends with a very gentle flicking motion until I can easily pull the brush like normal through my ends. Then I repeat that method higher up, then higher up still, until I can draw the brush from root to tip quite easily.​

The flicking motion is like using the brush as a pick kind of. It entails gently/slightly, quickly rotating my wrist each time I flick the brush to pick through my tangled end.

It doesn't sound gentle, but it really is. I have much less hair left in the brush than with any other I've ever used. Very little.

HTH!​

I love it! As soon as I used it I was like Yep, don't need another detangling brush ever lol First of all, it was $14.50 on Amazon and on the Wal-Mart site, but only $10.96 at the store so yay! I will say the curved shape has taken some getting used to. Thanks for the tip. I'll try it next wash day.

[Alma Petra]

Biosilk Rock Hard Hard Styling Gelee from Ulta based on Nap85's and @Alma Petra's endorsements.

Can't wait to hear what you think of it. It's very popular amongst the curly ladies of CurlTalk forum, specially those who live in very humid climates. Many actually say that they just use a small amount of it on top of another gel to give them mega hold.
It definitely gave me more crunch than Wetline Xtreme and maybe that's why I prefer Wetline. I don't like to have residual crunch after my hair dries and I SOTC (scrunch out the crunch). You make me want to use it again now, even though I'm not even using wetline nowadays because I'm focusing on experimenting on my poor twa lol

I bought CRN Almond Jai Twisting Butter which I have just used to braid up my twa. I love the smell. I think that it's more of a moisturizer than a sealant (clearly feels water-based). I hope that it will perform well on my hair.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

From the Indian grocer:

30 mL of sesame seed oil

Aside: The store does not sell cassia, but it does sell organic fenugeek seeds!!!
