You Should do it, start with a few heads. Get that hustle on. I wish i could do hair, i know a few ladies who do hair and they make some cash.

IA: E! You Should do it! (If you can Tolerate it)

 

[Tafa01]

the conditioner sample pack. i was gonna get that, a full size avocado conditioner, and the fixing gel.

I loooove the avocado conditioner!!!

Girl...... I work near judiciary square metro station mon-fri! I pass foggy bottom all the time to go to lush, sephora and mac at georgetoen.

Ahhh!! That's so crazy, I used to work near there too! On E Street, between 2nd and 3rd Street NW. It's such a small world!

Ai'rigt..........Is anybody using up anythang? Just buying, OR thinking about buying????

We gotta Look at our Mission Statements and Really Drill down into them until the stick.

btw: My stuff from Naturally Curly came today. The Curl Junkie Conditioners...........So, I think the was the last of the last of the stuff I had 'waiting' out there.erplexed

So, I'm Done. I won't look at the Site(s) or New Products by Q, H or SSI Unless they have a Sale.

I'm trying to use up:
Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-In
HB Carrot Creme Hair Lotion
S-Curl
HE Breaks Over
HE Hello Hydration
Nutrine Garlic Conditioner
Aussie Moist 3 Minute Deep Conditioner
Sweet Almond Oil
JBCO (regular is cheaper and works the same)
Unrefined Shea Butter (Its color is off, it's really heavy/greasy, and I bought it from a BSS, so I think it has palm oil in it. I'm going to use it on my body, because it works well in that capacity.)

Hopefully, all this stuff will be gone by March and I won't be repurchasing any of them. I might try a higher grade shea butter though.

I can't wait for my sunshine!

 

[simplyconfident]

I know I know....but I plan on purchasing a length check t shirt today. I've wanted one of these for over a year now!!However,I will not purchase any new hair products until the end of the month (AOHSR).
I'll post pics of my new tee when it comes in the mail.

speaking of doing hair, i used to do hair for side money all the time. i got tired of it and stopped but since school is starting back up i might start doing dudes hair again. i hate doing females hair because i just dont like doing curls and stuff but cornrows and braids are my thing lol.
but if some random girl paid me to give her a cute rollerset or a wrap i'll make an exception.

 

[chebaby]

I can't wait for my sunshine!

me either. i got the hello sweet thang but i want to try coconut lemongrass too.

 

[BostonMaria]

ETA: Oh yea, has anyone thought of maybe doing a few heads to help use up product and make a few extra bucks? Now that I'm in the land of the unemployed and on FTS status, I've been strongly entertaining doing a couple rollersets a week for people...IDK if I have the patience.

It would be great to do this. Right now I'm doing 3-4 heads a week (same people, my kids LOL) and its FREEEEEEEEE!

Eisani, if you ever want to SELL me your stuff I'll definitely take it! I just bought 8 bottles of AOHR conditioners for $30 bucks. Not bad considering each bottle usually costs me $11 bucks.

Oh and BTW I also love Jasmine's avocado silk condish. You should really use up the stuff you have now. Or maybe sell 2 bottles of a condtioner you don't like to justify the $22 conditioner you want.

 

[BeetleBug]

I finished a jar of Qhemet BRBC; I have two more jars left. I love that stuff.

I had to get rid of my almost full jar of the Afroveda Curly Custard b/c I left the top open. It had a layer of crust on top of it when I looked at it. It's no loss b/c I didn't really like it in the first place.

That's A Good Plan CB!

Please try to stick to it.

Hi Ladies, o.k. Well, my first day back to work since Wednesday and trying to rush out the door, I forgot my lunch on the kitchen counter!! CB, I hope your soup was delicious!!

Thankfully I went to Plan B. It was so cold outside most people in the office ended up ordering in. Since I am the event planner when it comes to food; I got enough orders (over $100.00) to get a free meal and 2 liter soda Sometimes it definitely pays to socialize and I didn't spend any money today !!!

Unfortunately, I am still organizing all the 50/11 hair products I have -- still gathering full & half empty bottles and jars --- just so much stuff to go thru. While I am making progress, I still have a long, long, way to go.

I do hope to finish something by the end of the month - sigh.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed and keeping the faith by reading the posts on here -- so keep them coming as my inspiration. Thanks.

 

[mkd]

Che, I would love to know how to cornrow. I am determined to learn. I am going to watch youtube tutorials.

Aluv: You are Inspiring Us as well.

Just Stay at it. Take one day at a time. It's a Process. You will begin to use up all that stuff.

(At least that's what Imma keep telling myself). For Me: Resist the 'urge' to buy something else, KIM and totally Focus on Hair Healtherplexed

youtube is great for learning things. i love youtube. actually my mom taught me how to braid when i was very young and i just self taught how to cornrow. i wear fake nails though and thats another reason i stopped doing hair. my nails arent long but it still makes it difficult to grip the hair depending on how long their hair is.

 

[Shay72]

I think I've finally realized what moisturized hair feels like. Don't ask me to explain it though. I do know during my last stretch I fell off my moisture game but right now I ain't playing. My hair is so much more manageable too.

 

[Eisani]

IA: E! You Should do it! (If you can Tolerate it)

Why the eye roll? Lol!! I get kind of moody so I'm just thinking ahead

I can't wait for my sunshine!

Yall making me want to try some of this sunshine! I looked @ the site last nite.

It would be great to do this. Right now I'm doing 3-4 heads a week (same people, my kids LOL) and its FREEEEEEEEE!

I'll keep you in mind, BM. Where'd you get 8 bottles for 30 bucks?? It's your fault I ordered that Avocado & Silk in the first place. I started a thread about it, but let it die. That's a good idea to use a couple bottles before purchasing. I have a couple friends that would love some stuff. I gave one a brand new bottle of WEN, which she'd never even heard of, and she loved it. Her sis loves the Nutrine Garlic Conditioner and is like "Let me know when you order some more of that garlic ****. It's the BOMB!" Heehee!

che, i started making my shea butter.
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=9785446#post9785446

i'm just beginning, though, i won't finish until tomorrow.

 

[chebaby]

thats great robot. and just think if you get really good at it you can start a small business.

nah. watching these videos, i see all the hard work that those african women put into it and i fully believe they earn and deserve each and every cent. i just wanted to try it.

 

[mkd]

Robot, when I order shea butter again in the next month or two, I am going to order from butters n bars. Do you still love their shea? Did anyone else order from there?

yes! i will always love their shea! (unless they change it somehow)

 

[chebaby]

i have their shea butter too mkd. but i havent used it yet. it does have a really nice texture though.

 

[30something]

Now that I have figure out the prefect regimen with in 18 products (including Shampoo, Conditioners, heat protectant, leave in, moisturizer, treatments, Oils, etc) I have 8 products that I like never going to use anymore (Haven't used in months).. i have no one really to give them too, maybe my mom. Kind of feel like just tossing a few, 3 of them are 1$ conditioner, and a few of them are just Cone soups that does nothing for my hair.

...maybe they make decent lotions.....

Or you can shave your legs with them!

Oh yeah! Thank you

 

[robot.]

shampoo always gave me a really soft shave. or it might've been condish, but i don't remember. but i would think cones would be good for preventing nicks!

Or mix them up with other conditioners. Most of the time I can salvage a crappy conditioner by adding some coconut oil.

If that doesn't work send it to me! LOL

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies, on the hair front im still on my shea challenge. I haven't purchased anything new and im not tempted to. Also things are going well with the budget. Im hoping this year will be the year that i get my pjism in check and save money. Everyone have a blessed day.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Lovely PJ's.............I shoulda' been on the Highway!

Anyhoo, as some of you know, I am wigging it this Winter.

I just moisturized with KBB Hair Milk and put on my fake 'satin' Durag before putting on this Piece.

I tell you, it's about 12-13 degrees here and this Wig is working it. My Head Stays Warm & Toasty (and you never have a bad hair day) *insert evil laugh*

Ya'll have a Good One. Peace.

Oh Yeah........I'll be 'Lurking at Work' so Don't Be Buyin' Nuffin.

I took the kids to school and it was about 24 degrees outside

I passed by Walgreen's yesterday and saw $1 bottles of Suave. I reached out... remembered this damn thread and didn't buy anything I have 2 bottles of Suave in my bathroom so I really don't need it.
