Pj Support Thread 2010 Pt.1

[IDareT'sHair]

Tomorrow will be my last hair purchases!

Shescentit will be open and I'm hoping peacelove will have my listing up by then.

DUH....Sorry Girl, I guess I didn't read thoroughlyerplexed

 

[chebaby]

chello ladies
im thinking about doing my hair today but im in a lazy mood. i really want to deep treat with kbb mask but idk yet.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey PJ's Where Ya'll At??????

I hope Ya'll Not On-Line Shopping for Hair Products.

 

[Minty]

girl you know I got a itchy finger to buy some Monoi coconut oil, a H2Pro Flat Iron, large rollers, and so on. sigh.

 

[La Colocha]

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.

My days will be wendsday and friday. I should make the last day sunday too because w+f seem too close together.

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.

Good for you robo. I think im about done too.

Hey PJ's Where Ya'll At??????

I hope Ya'll Not On-Line Shopping for Hair Products.

Nope, not today.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

girl you know I got a itchy finger to buy some Monoi coconut oil, a H2Pro Flat Iron, large rollers, and so on. sigh.

That Oil sounds good, but don't do it Girl.

Wait a while and just focus on ALL the other Products You have.

You can always visit that oil and the other tools.

Let's try to at least get half-way through this First Month..............

 

[isabella09]

I’m done with new purchases this year apart from the new QB DC . I’m only planning on re-stocking my staples.

I’m confident that we can all achieve our goals this year

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Well, I am already thinking about this Wash-Weeks Regimen (products etc....) I think I will be able to use up several products.

The remainder of: Millcreek Keratin Conditioner for Co-Washing, Giovanni Nutra-Fix for a Mild Protein Reconstructing Treatment, the Aubrey Organics GPB with Steam or Heat Cap, Vial of Matrix Biolage Ceramides.

If I stick to this Plan, I will have 4 Open Products Completely Used up. YAY! I am 'Determined' to Shop My Stash.

Each, at some point will be repurchases. Although, I have 1 additional bottle of GPB and The Ceramides come in a box of 5.

 

[JJamiah]

I had ALOT OF things in my stash literally, unopened castor oil, coconut oil, few bottles V05 conditioners, hot 6 oil, Aphogee Gloss Therapy, 2 Sulfur 8 things unopened bought for my edges a while back, bottle conditioner lotion for blow dry, detangling spray, and so much more.......

I plan to use up the following:
Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave in

Infusium 23

Aphogee Gloss Therapy ( I am actually loving this again)

Aphogee Keratin Green Tea

Chi Silk infusion small bottle *have others to replace this

Detanglers

and anything else I can use in my possession this year... is my journey!

 

[Minty]

I didn't...I got up and took a shower, washed my hair with some of the Ovation shampoo that came w/the Ovation pkg I bought last year and DC with Redkin Clear Moisture. That ovation shampoo is not bad at all - I forgot.

Instead of buying anything, I pulled out one of the 5 remaining JBCO bottles I had and thinned it out with "bottle crumbs" of Jojoba, avocado, and almond oil. added a little ylang-ylang and the last drops of peppermint.

I did it.

@bolded: That's Why I'm a Serious Believer of Rotating Your Products instead of "Quickly" Selling or Giving/Throwing Away. (which I've never quite understood the jist of people throwing away productserplexed)

As they Say: One Man's Trash is another Man's Treasure and Someone (not as 'blessed) that Could always use it. Unless it was "Harmful, Dangerous OR Old" That Concept of "Throwing things away" Always Mystified Me

Anywoo, It's always good, if you're not sure or you think it has 'stopped working' to put it to the side and revisit it later.

 

[redecouvert]

hello ladies. I was going to wait to have my former username back(Without the e..."redecouvert" instead of redecouverte) before posting. anyways...still patiently waiting
in the meantime, I've used up 5 products. still thinking twice before purchasing that's why I got only 2 peacelovesunshine body butters in 4 oz instead of 16oz..I got hello sweetthang and chai.
and the only reasons I got them is because of the scents. I got 3 coconut confidence (16oz..yes i don't play..lol)during black friday...
I was going to get the cutie juice but after seeing the ingredients, I knew it won't work for me. Plus I am tired of buying sprays that don't work because they never do. I only need water!!

now it's sold out..I am very proud of myself because I didn't panick and convoed her to make an extra for me!!
see this thread has helped me sooo much.

when I read that qhemet is coming out with a deep conditioner, a month ago, I would have harassed her to know when exactly it is coming out
now i'll just wait to read reviews before I really found 2 deep conditioners that work great for me (KBB and Darcys). No need to buy all the deep conditioners in the world in the search for the one.

other than that, I am very optimistic about 2010 because I found my staples and I just want to use up what I have and watch my hair grow. Yesterday I had a girl night's out and a friend asked so you don't drink, you don't smoke, you don't go out (we have to beg you to come out), you don't have a boyfriend, what do you do??
I buy hair/make up products..lol..except that now I have other goals and I need to cut down on those purchases to make them happen.
I will not chime in as much as I used on hair forums in general, but I am still lurking

@Idktare: you have the funniest statements I've ever heard. LOL at no self respecting PJ who doesnt have a steamer!!

 

[Minty]

Oh my review on Redkin Clear Moisture.

I'm 5 weeks post this Tues w/about 3/4 inch new growth. This conditioner is unlike any I've used because it is gel based. It is not for "damaged" hair, but for normal/dry hair and since my hair has great elasticity I took a chance.

I washed with Ovation (which is a cream based shampoo, doesn't strip, rinses clean, removes product and oils well, smells great) and left Clear Moisture on approx. 3 mins in shower. This rinsed clean. I am air drying with just a little Lacio-Lacio and my hair is quite fluffy & light. The NG doesn't feel dry at all.

I have used this conditioner with my make-shift steamer (hot rung towel tied down with plastic bag and sat under heat cap - 45 mins.) and the results were deliciously smooth strands.

The smell is "clean"

@Idktare: you have the most funny statements I've ever heard. LOL at no self respecting PJ who doesnt have a steamer!!

RedC: This was a Great Post. You've said some very Profound things in this Post. You've Used Up a Bunch of Products. You've Resisted Buying More and You Curbed Your Purchasing and Scaled it Back (from what you would have normally done)

And You are willing to "Wait" to Hear Reviews before Jumping Out there and Buying Something Else and Lastly, You have found DC's that are Working Wonderfully for You and have Ended Your Quest to Keep Buying/Searching for More.

These are ALL Very Positive Statements. And You've Come SUCH A LONG WAY (Cause You Know You Can Buy Some Stuff)

Now: About the Steamer --- I Purchased My Steamer Prior to Joining LHCF When I was Lurking, And I Must Honestly Admit this was the Single Best Investment I've Made (and I've made quite a few).

The Moisture Factor Goes UnSurpassed. So if you struggle with any type of Dryness Issues............. (Or Want to Make Your Existing Moisturizing DC's Perform Better) That's All I'm Gonna Say.

 

[Charz]

I just washed and twisted my hair and used up:


Hairveda's Cocasta Oil (Love this, have a backup)
Jane Carter Twist and Lock (too expensive)
Darcy's Botanicals Deep Conditioner (Too expensive, nothing special either)

 

[simplyconfident]

i need some help deciding next months hair splurge...

i currently use shescentit conditioners and although i'm satisfied w/ them, i'm seeking another moisturizing deep conditioner that i can buy right off the shelf to alternate bi weekly. as you might already know i've been eyeing Yes to Carrots Mask. i'm not worried about the price of the YTC since it's cheaper/pretty close in price to shescentit once you include shipping and all.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated so i can start my research....

oh yeah, i don't like joico products at all

ITA: Aubrey has very moisturizing Conditioners that are easily accessible.

 

[Ballerina_Bun]

You know the term, “dry alcoholic”? Can someone be a “Dry PJ” ???

 

[mkd]

Tomorrow, I am purchasing from shescentit and I am done for a while. I don't need anything else except maybe shea butter.

I really like sintrinillah. I used it on my kids' hair tonight and the results were really good. I also used cocosta to seal their hair. I will see how moisturized it is in the morning. Thanks Brownie and WNS.

Girl, Go 'Head and Break it Down???

 

[chebaby]

i have my kbb hair mask on my hair now. i will rinse in an hour and i do not plan on shampooing. just rinse, leave in and shea butter mix. i will then make 6-8 big braids so that my hair can dry.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I think this Support Group and the Deep Conditioning Challenge and some of the other Threads/Challenges (if you are participating in them) will really Keep Us All On Point and continuing to work through and use up alot of stuff.

Hey red, you are doing a really good job. You always know where we are, don't be a stranger.

 

[Charz]

Just made some yummy tortilla soup to take to work tomorrow! Thanks again aluv!

 

[chebaby]

Charz, because of your review i either will not buy the darcy deep conditioner or will wait until i finish a buch of other deep conditioners. i am really into darcy's right now.

 

[sky035]

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been feeling guilty about the amount I spend on hair products.

My Mission Statement 2010

I will use up the shampoos and conditioners in my stash. I will not order products online and will find products that work for my hair in my local community. I will solidify my regimen (summer and winter) and stick to it. I will take care of my hair through daily maintenance regardless of how tired I feel. I will keep up with challenges that I sign up for: DC, bunning, napes & edges. With the money I save I will spend it on my DD and on clothing for myself.

Keep Using Up Your Stuff Che and WAIT.

You have school & books to think about

 

[Eisani]

I did dd's hair this evening using things I already had in my stash; prepoo'd her with Brahmi/amla/shikakai oil blend, washed with Dr Bronner's tea tree castille soap mixed w/AOHR, dc'd w/Banana Brulee. I used KBB Hair nectar to moisturize and applied Fantasia IC heat protectant to blow and flat iron. I blew the dust off a bottle of Amla Gold and applied it to her scalp. Her hair is so purty! I have a LONG way to go, but it was cool rediscovering my prepoo oil mix and that Amla Gold, forgot how much I loved both of these! I have so many ayurvedic oils and powders to use up in addition to my other stuff. Woooow...
