Okay, I think I figured it out. I used half as much caramel, and added some of my usual moisturizing conditioner to it. That way, I can stretch it so that I'll definitely get through the month.
Though, I seem to have more drippies doing it this way.
I'll be aiight.

Why was I looking for an empty bottle to put a rinse in, and stumbled across 4 more things of banana baby food?
I don't need to buy a DAMN. THING.
Though, I do like how my hair turned out with the 1/2 caramel 1/2 con mix - so I might still stick with that.
Damn shame.
WOW the Epitome of this challenge for sure!!
Congrats!!!

I use it to make a homemade caramel treatment - it's a fabulous deep conditioner - makes my hair feel soooooooooooooo good.

Hmmm seems yummy! Well I guess lil Victoria is going to be missing some of her banana baby food. LOL. I think I have like 2 or 3 jars of that one.

I am in. Can't afford to spend money on hair products at all. Although I did do one last splurge (it was payday) on Friday and finally decided to try Oyin handmade.
I have everything down (i think) except for a moisturizer that actually works for my hair. I hope this whipped pudding works!

I am in 
I've started looking, with more interest, at hair toys.
I want to start with forks - 2-4 tine, I think, would be best for me to start with.
So, I might be drooling over a lot of stuff.
Mdwezi - do you have any good/wonderful hairtoy links to share?
You know I do.
My favorite is Etsy because, since it's all hand-made, you get one of a kind items and can find really beautiful interesting pieces:Search for hair forks
Search for hair sticks
Search for hair pins
I'm not sure if I can join this challenge. I guess I'll be in my own personal sub-challenge. I won't buy any more products for the month, but I can't promise I can stay away from the hair accessories. I mean, I neeeeeed it.
I realized that I don't have a blue hair comb or pin. Must I be satisfied with just my blue flower? And red? I got nothing! *cries*I really like Oyin's Whipped Pudding. I used up my sample so I haven't had any in a while. Their whipped pudding + their honey hemp gave me soft fluffy hair, and that's not easy to do for my hair. Dang, why did I have to remember this, now I want some. This is not a good way to start off the month. Anyway, let us know how it is when you try it. I found it best applied to wet or damp hair, but I'm like that with almost all my products. Oh, I also used it for finger detangling and it worked well for that, too. It's got quite a strong scent, chocolaty.

OMG!!! Those hair accessories are GORGEOUS!!!
Now I wish I had hair to put in these things, lol. Do the 2 tine forks work just like hair combs do?

I'll join. I am trying to work on using up my tub of products. I don't think a month of no new hair products will make me feel too deprived.

I'm not sure, since I've never used a hair fork. But hey, ProductJunkie, *whispers* didn't nobody say you can't buy yarn on etsy; it's just as pretty.

Preach!!!
Though, my box from Mountain Herbs should be here soon, so that might occupy me for the rest of the month.
And, I really need to conquer my garden plot, so I'll spend some time doing that, too.

Well All I gotta say is wow.
erplexed I really have it bad I didn't even last two days. I know I had no business being in there, but I went to the BSS because I had some free time and I did it. I bought something actually four things. Four packs of hair, 2 of spanish wave and 2 of Wet and wavy. Why did I buy it? Well it was on sale at 9.99 a pack plus I get a 10% military discount, So I could not resist!:bouncegre I do not regret it at all. I love Urban Beauty hair, it really matches with my texture, and this hair will last me for a while! SO yeah I'll be down next month.

ChameleonChick - you walked right into the heart of temptation!!! Sales are hard to resist, though. PassionFruit - good for you!!!! That peppered bacon sounds reallll nice.
My package was in Nashville last night - arrival scan. No departure scan yet, and while I know Nashville is only 3 hours away - I don't think I'll be getting my package today. *sigh* That's aiight cuz I need to DC tonight anyhow, not play with new products.
