Brownie, do you have a steamer too?

No, I don't. T gets at me about it all the time, though!! She says it will change my life!! I'm sure it would but I'm still resisiting the purchase. I don't know where I'd put it.

Regarding Da' Steama.............Honestly No Home Should Be Without One!

No Self-Respecting PJ worth Her Salt with 50-11 Conditioners in her Stash Should be w/o a Steama' OR at the Very Least a Mastex Heat Cap.

Both will Help You achieve Great Conditioning Heights.

:whipped: ( I am the purple, getting beat for temptation)


IDare you were suppose to encourage me not too... LOL

OMG that's so freakin funny!!!

Do you use your dryer often? I have a hooded dryer and a soft hair bonnet. I use both because sometimes (like today) my DD will get her hair rollerset while I'm trying to do my hair too. Too much hair in this house.

I use it once a week, but You know it won't go to waste because my son, is growing his hair back out and I do twist in his hair so he is going to need a dryer on the regular. I have already asked and he agreed to the Valentines Day gift for the Steamer, I showed him the reply and he laughed at the little purple face getting beat, and the little girl with the wicked hair, He said fine! SO I will join the steam ladies in February

I have a few questions

with the Steamer, I have relaxed hair, and I blow dry does that take away the moisture effect of it?

when your hair is long do you tousle it up under the steamer?

can I use a semi permenant under it?

any relaxed ladies who used it and have a hooded dryer can you tell me was it a big difference?

 

[chebaby]

i just purchased a coconut confidence and scented sunshine. im so excited lol. i didnt see the cutie juice though.
i also purchased some aloe juice today so i could make a leave in spray.

 

[robot.]

Does anyone know how big the scented buttercremes from hairveda are?

 

[MsWowFactor]

My 2010 Hair Mission is to....

**Figure out a good hair regimine that works for me.. I just started my journey so Im not going to lie, I know that there are a lot of new products that I will be purchasing however I will use up all of my products first b4 I buy something new to replace them.

**Keep it simple so I can determine whats working for me and what isnt.

**I will do my best to use sample products before purchasing them.

**Perfect my styling

**Keep a hair diary for myself of my progress.
**Keep a review of the products that i am using (started this last night ) ....and share my reviews to help others

**Stay motivated and think positve

I just got my caruso steam rollers last night.. cant wait to use. I told my mother about it today and had her to watch a few of the youtube videos. She went out and got one.

Not big at all. It's less than 4 fl oz. but they smell great

Are you just organizing or giving this stuff away?

I'm done doing my hair! My concoction didn't make me go bald LOL I invested in a Chi and I just flatironed my hair. I think that the Pibbs dryer will be my last big purchase for the year. Its such a great investment. I tried drying my hair under the Ion hooded dryer and unfortunately the back of my hair couldn't dry. Blah. I need a Pibbs or a smaller head.

BTW JJamiah congrats on getting your steamer for Valentine's Day! I will let you know when I use mine. I can hardly wait!

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

Ya'll got me. :assimilat
I bought a steamer from salonsrus.
I've been waiting for the steamer deal that one of the ladies are putting together, but lawdy...I thought it would be done by Christmas. I couldn't wait anymore. And salonsrus has it at a reduced price, so in the end, I would have only saved about 15 dollars at most.

So as far as hair appliances go, I'm done for the year.
I have my flat iron, hood dryer, steamer....I got errythang I need.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

So I had to get in here because I need help. In the last 6mos I have bought way too much stuff. To think I would take care of my relaxed hair with one shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, and some kind of leave-in/styler. Now I have 1 shelf of conditioners/DCs and 1 shelf of stylers in a quest to have healthy, long hair (which is definitely happening ). I don't even want to think of how much money I've spent on products, shipping, and other hair luxuries. Most of this I bought when I was unemployed and supposed to be saving but being bored and doing my hair became my habit.

Now that I spent $80 on products (that got rave reviews) that I haven't received yet I know I have to join this thread. I did well up until this purchase I hadn't bought any products in 2 months.

My goals are:
1. Use up my stash by June and then stick only to my staple products which I hope to figure out by then.
2. Finish paying off my credit cards with the money I would have spent on products.
3. Stop spending frivilously- eating out, buying hair things(products & accessories), ordering off the internet & stick to my new budget.
4. Continue my HHJ with a new attitude armed with new information

Stop trying to buy thing ppl suggest and jumping on bandwagons.

The bolded is what really got me!!

 

[Ronnieaj]

Hi yall!

I'm Ronnie and I was in the Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge, but I haven't used up anything in EONS!!!!! That's how many full products I have floating around my stash. I'm giving some to a young lady here on the forum, some to my mother, and am slowly but surely working my way through the rest. I haven't bought anything since around Labor Day, but I need to maintain my focus.

So my goals are:
* to continue to use up my stash
* to determine which products are true necessities and begin limiting myself to them
* to maintain a budget for the purpose of purchasing those necessities

 

[robot.]

I love my steamer.

i'mma just come and use yours, but dangit if T's description don't have me feenin'...

 

[Shay72]

Since my hair day ended up being 2 hair days I won't do my hair again today. It wouldn't make sense. So I will only do my hair on Wednesday this week which will be an amla treatment then next week I will start with the Sunday & Wednesday hair days. I will probably suffer from withdrawals we'll see.

 

[Minty]

This morning I juiced using my Omega 8006 juicer, took my vitamins, gave myself a hot oil treatment with my homemade ayuvedic oil w/my heat cap (over 12 yrs. old) and sat next to big papa in the bed and sighed.

He said "yes"
"....well, can I get a steamer?"
He said "how much", then "how big", then "are you going to use it", then can you use it after you get your license?"...

Drum roll please.......I have to wait until after the IBS show in March, if I can't find one at the show, I can order one online.

To show my gratitude - I'm taking over 50 books from my collection to sell...and not asking for shoe money. (that one's gonna hurt)

I am relaxed as well. It is an entirely different 'feel' than any DC'ing you get from a Hooded Dryer (I have one of those as well). Even DC'ing under a Hooded Dryer with Plastic Cap is still, IMO, a level of 'dry heat' You are not getting nearly the moisture a Steamer is emitting into your hair with this method.

Imagine if you will: Your Clothes Iron or Tea Kettle in "Steam Mode" the Steam Emits Direct Moisture (water condensation) steadily onto your Hair. I steam without a Plastic Cap because 1) I use alot of protein on a regular basis 2) I have very dry hair.

So, the Moisture coming out from the Hood is constant, steady, quiet and it totally absorbs your thick rich conditioners into your hair.

That's the best way I can describe it.

Thanks IdareT
Sounds great and getting as a gift I still am within my $1 a day budget.

Ladies I am not including any beauty parlor trips in this money.

I would like to purchase a half wig, should I include my $1 a day budget when purchasing the half wig?

Well, it seems like you've made the Necessary Adjustments to your Budget to Compensate for your Purchase (the Steamer).

So, as long as you are making conscious and responsible purchasing decisions (and not just Random Spending) everything should be good.

I feel more compelled to be more conscious about my choices.

Okay......

Until When, Spring or Summer or Do you have a Time Frame?

So.....Does that Include 'Facial' Stuff too? i.e. Make Up, Cleansers etc... OR Just Hair Products?

 

[robot.]

Hair and face. I'm stocked up on hair goods and I wanna try sticking with one skin care line (except for a brush cleaner, that's the only thing I'm missing). And I'm not a big lotion or soap person, so I'm hoping to find a shower gel and be done with it.

Only repurchases. I feel like I have more then enough products to be happy with.
