I'm late but I'm here. 
I just returned from 25 days in the DR and I need to add myself to this thread. While I was there, I bought sooooo many products, including the usual Dominican conditioners and some small sizes of other things that I wanted to "sample".
This year, I'm going to (try to) resist buying up everything that I see mentioned in this forum. As a newbie who's never learned any of this from family or "hair professionals" I know that I went overboard. Now I know that I don't need to buy something just because another member had fantastic results with it. Everyone's hair is different.
Since this year I've decided to transition (yay me) I'm going to be all about protective styling. I'm hoping having my hair in weaves will prevent me from buying up the hair aisles.
I think the idea of writing a hair journal is something I want to try. I really want healthy beautiful hair, but doing too much may actually get in the way of that goal.

I am happy to report that this PJ didn't purchase any products this past weekend! That is such a major feat for me! I even went so far as to putting things in my buggy for a while, then my willpower kicked in and I put everything back. Yeah!
Cool, that sounds like some strong will power, I do that online, I put things in my cart and when I am done, I click the x button. LOL!

Me, too, Shay! I need more Honey Comb Rejuvenator stuff and some of the new stuff sounds interesting. And I'm with you on the Sunshine, also. I use that head to toe and running out is not an option.

i started using sunshine on my face and hands too. she really outdid herself with that. i like the coconut confidence to but sunshine is out of this world amazing. i used it today over the honey hemp and my hair feels amazing. it doesnt give shine though which doesnt bother me much because i know natural hair doesnt really hair shine.

MrsdeReyes, where did you stay? OMG you're so lucky to get a break from this cold weather. I was born in Santo Domingo. Haven't been down there for about 8 years. My DD is getting married there next year.
I can't read this. I can't. Must resist!

If you went to the one in Alewife then I agree. I hate their cosmetic/hair section.

Yes that's the one! Don't know why I ever bother going there. The one in Medford is so much better and the woman who works in that aisle is much friendlier. Do you know which WF in the area sells bentonite clay? My DD uses it for her face. I find it in liquid form, but never in the powder.

Is that wheat germ oil or conditioner, and what are you doing hot oil treatment with these oils?
IDareT'sHair

Yes, wheat germ oil. I am on this Ceramides 'kick' and wheat germ oil contains Ceramides.
I started off early this Season, doing HOTs (but it didn't last long about 3-4 weeks max)
.I am using the Oils to Seal after I apply my Daily Moisturizers. Here is an Article Americka Shared with me, that explains Ceramides for anyone interested in incorporating them into their Regimen.
The thing that stuck out with me, is even if you have your Protein/Moisture in Perfect 'Balance' you still need Ceramides.
So, I look at it as the icing on the cake. And I can definitely tell a difference in the way my hair looks/feels.
And since I had a bottle of Wheat Germ Oil 'collecting dust' I pulled it out.

T how do you use that keratin oil? Do you use it on it's own or do you mix into your conditioner, if so do you mix it with protein or moisture conditioner? Sorry I'm a bit clueless as to how to use this effectively!
When I was reading up on it on the Wella Site, it appears they put in throughout the hair and then put a DC on top of it.
So that's what I plan to do. Comb it throughout. Put on a DC Treatment (Moisture) and Steam/Heat Cap.
In that thread, Ladies were also mixing it in their relaxers.
Not sure if I'll do that, but if you go back into that thread, alot of ladies were using it that way too.IDareT'sHair

CT: I went back and Pulled that thread. You Raised a Good Point in Your Post. Protein or Moisture?

I was in Santo Domingo
My husband currently lives there. We went to the Malecon for the New Year's eve concert. It was my 4th visit of 2009, 1st of 2010. It was the first time that I was really looking for hair products though! He thought I was a bit obsessed.

Is that the same as the aztec face mask? I go to the WF in burlington, it is great. The one by MGH has a whole cosmetic/hair section tucked away. Try there.

Yes that's the one I'm looking for! My DD will be very happy. She's been ordering it online, but now I'll just pick one up for her.. and look around for myself LOL Burlington is just 10 minutes away, can't believe I've never bumped into it. Thanks!
I was in Santo Domingo
He's talking nonsense!
I stayed (vacationed) at a Resort in Punta Cana!
The big joke is that EVERYBODY has been to Punta Cana.. except me
I'm trying to get my DD to pick Punta Cana next year when she gets married. Our family is mainly in the capital so she's thinking Sto Dgo.. I keep saying "no no
Pick Punta Cana!" because, again, I'm the only person in the USA that hasn't been there yet.
