I was in Sally's today, combing the shelves like I don't already know what's there and after leaving with some stuff, I decided it's time for a break.:eek: I have a good variety of shampoos, conditioners, protein treatments, and heat protectants so I am challenging myself to not buy any more hair products until January 2007. ( I can't believe I just wrote that!) I think that this will be a good way to really get a consistient routine down and figure out what ingredients are best for my hair.

Anyone want to join me?
 
Maybe if you had said til like November, I would have been tempted to join this challenge, but t'aint no use in me even telling the lie that I will try not to buy any products til next year. Good luck to you though!!!!
 
Count me in. I have a ton of stuff i need to use up, lol. I think it should last me till 07. I have grabbed 2 things since i told myself i would not buy anything else. I bought that ORS Replenishing Pack after seeing so many post about it and a deep condtioner by Garnier Fructis, do know whu i bought it. It was on sale, lol. I did want to try 2 shampoos by Jasons, but i can wait, lol. I need to use up what i have. I have a huge bin that is over flowing.
 
Count me in, I have too much stuff already that I need to use up or throw away, I have already stopped buying products online and that was hard foir me to do but I did it and I have found products that I can get at a local BSS.

I am in, How long does this Challenge Last?

Until January 07.
 
I am not buying any more "new" products until Jan 1, 2007. For me, "new" means something I have never used before. I am using up everything that I have bought. This way, I know what really works for my hair and I can find out what my hair really needs. If I run out of a product before January, I will replace it. But I am not trying anything new. After January, if my hair needs something that I don't think my products are providing, then I will try a new product. That is what I am doing for this challenge. It will help me stay consistient and actually create a regimen.
 
I really need to join (I went outside last week to see my husband and the UPS man talking little did I know that they have become friends and are on a first name basis.) but I'm so weak I don't think I could make it to January.
 
Good to all you join this challenge, I am weak and find to many good deals on products to hold out.

Now that's funny.:lachen:

My goodness I need to join this challenge. But I'm still a newbie trying to learn my hair. Plus I am contemplating doing the BC. So, the timing just isn't right for me. But good luck to you ladies.
 
You know what.....forget it.......I'M IN!!!!!!

I didn't BC, and I just realized that my hair doesn't care for cones too much. So, I have a nice amount of cone free products, and I just recently bought most of the things that I've been wanting to try. So, count me in!!! :D

Maybe if it was just a month...maybe. lol

What she said.
 
I have to join this challenge!!!! I am done- I went into the BSS today and both the bag check guy and the cashier said "hi Lori, what are you looking for today"!!!! I was like :eek::eek::eek:- this is one of the biggest BSS in NYC. I am done- all of the money I save from not going to the salon I spend on products. No more products until March 2007- did I really say that.

I think I'm ready kick the habit. My hair has been thriving thanks to endless experimentation. So, no more new products for me until the New Year. :eek: That's right. You heard me. No MORE!
 
I still haven't bought anything new. I am almost out of my AO GPB. So i'll be getting more of that. I am trying to get rid of all this stuff i have. Then stick with what i like.

I agree with this. This is how I will conduct this challenge. I have a couple of things to pick up, but definitely will be committed by this weekend.

Besides, I already have the products that work for me, so why do I need to purchase/try anything new....:ohwell: dang PJism:perplexed :look: :lol:

Hey, Miz Jackson how about people picking their own dates? Then some people can join for 30 days and others can join for the entire 4 months.
 
I'm in! I need this challenge. I just purchased an online order for a bunch of new products yesterday. . . Ok, wait I need to make one final purchase for a Seemless comb (just read about them) and then I'm in for real. . . oh wait and i need some more conditioner cause one more application and I'm out. BUT I will purchase a brand I already use therefore it's really not a new purchase so I'm good. One little comb buy and bye bye PJ Blkbeautyhair. Hello reformed Blkbeautyhair. "Hello my name is BBH and I'm a PJ"

Now this I can do...right after I get a replacement for my dryer and olive oil serum. I'm sticking to what I know works and I won't try anything 'new' after the olive oil. I got tired of trying things right after I bought Herbal Essences Hydration and it not working for me. My hair is thriving right now using my staples.
