Good for you for putting the hair stuff DOWN!!!!!

I've decided to focus all my attention on clothes this month. :yep: That way, I'll be too busy to think about buying/trying new stuff on my hair.

:sekret: I still haven't taken my pictures. Just digging it all out is going to be the unfun. But I REALLY do need to figure out all of what I have - I was looking for something to seal my hair with last night, and was drawing a blank - til I got on here, and someone mentioned Vatika oil, and I was like - DAMN! I have a bottle of that AND a bottle of Brahmi oil in the cabinet that I haven't TOUCHED.

And we ain't even gonna TALK about the fact that I got some Amla and Shikakai delivered to me from India today. :look: One of my coworkers hubbys was coming back from over there, and I asked her to ask him to pick me up some stuff. :lachen: That doesn't count though, cuz I didn't pay for it. :look: :lol:
 
ok here's the thing. im just going to buy some vitamins tomorrow and then im in. and a tub of keracare humecto and two bottles of suave coconut conditioner:lachen::sekret:
 
Ladies I do have to buy something after all. I have a $10 gift certificate for BeautyFirst that expires this month.

I have to use it. Also for the next two Tuesdays there everything is 20% off for Gold Club members. I think I can walk out of there with a bottle of something FREE if I do it right.

Soooooo.....you see my point.:look: FREE does not count right?

No you didn't take pics of the coupons as if we need proof.:lachen:What-you thought we'd see those and understand...get me something and I won't say nothin'...
 
Diary Day 1...
The first step is admitting that there MAY be a problem...
I'll finish uploading pics in the morning..

ooOOHwee Elle, that's one nice stash you have!

So, how's it going ladies?? I know how the weekend can be - so many errands, so many BSS's to drive by!

I've been good - haven't brought anything new for my hair, but my sewing set-up is getting the hookup. :look: :lachen:

And I have to admit, I went through my stash, and discovered a bunch of stuff I didn't remember still having (like a stash of Feria - color, I rebuke thee!) and organized things SO much better, based on my current regimen - it was really fun. And free! :lol:
 
Thanks JustKiya,I can't bring myself to post pics of the rest...

I don't know how I'm going to do when hair2heaven opens, ya'll...:look::ohwell:
 
Im doing good so far.. though I have a problem... I have enough Nexxus Biotin to get me thru at least 2 weeks but maybe not the month...

I had the BSS order some and it came in...

I will wait til the 2 weeks is up and see if I can stretch it another week or so... maybe..

Ive been making guinea pigs of my kids and husband... giving them all of the products I didnt like or want to use anymore

I really think I can make it all summer without buying anything for my hair
( with the exception of the Biotin creme)
 
I want to Join. I have been using up my stash. I simply have too much....but darn it I need amla powder.
 
I haven't even felt any pain. I bought shears and gloves on April 29 and don't need anything else. I have so many products (as I'm sure all of you do too) so if one thing runs out (which it won't) I have something else. I don't think I'll need to make a purchase until at least September. And this counts for DD's hair too.

Maybe I should take some stash pics.

Oh yeah--going through and organizing does help. It cured me of my PJism. I love the way my closet looks with all my good stuff all lined up. Getting out the unnecessary items really made a difference. It made the good stuff look more important.:yep:
 
the only thing I want/need to buy in June is scrunchies & ouchless bands.... I bought a bunch but I also have 2 teen thieves I mean daughters in the house
:grin::lachen:

I even went to Walmart yesterday and wasnt tempted to go into the hair supply aisle

Well could you sell or return something else to come up with the money for the Nexxus Biotin stuff? If you did that I dont think it would count as "buying" anything. Its more like an even exchange. :lachen:

I'm doing the samething! :blush: I can put off most everything except for MT. I'm praying I can make that stupid bottle of OCT last me but I don't think it will. :nono:

You all are better than me. I have my list of things I am going to buy in June and I was up in Bed, Bath and Beyond the other day walking through the hair products isle. I was opening bottles and smelling stuff like a plain, ole junkie. I didn't know BBB had such an extensive hair selection.

The good thing is while I haven't taken pics yet, I did put together a bag of stuff to give to my sis. She is newly natural and she doesn't know what to do. Little sis to the rescue. I will take pics soon - I have to wait until I'm alone. I live with a house full and they are always in and out of the bedroom. LOL
 
We are selling our house/buying a new one asn having to really declutter. It has forced me to realize that I have way too many hair products!! I am forcing myself to throw out the ones that don't work and use up what I have before buying anything new.

I could easily co wash daily and not have to buy any new conditioner!!

I have issues:grin:!!
 
This has been really hard for me. It has not even been a week and I'm having dreams about buying a tube of Redken All Soft Heavy Cream and doing a DC... this is going to be a looong month for me...:sad:
 
I didn't realize that we had to post up pics of our products. I think I will make time for that on Sunday. Too tired to do so tonight.

They almost got me. I had the castor oil in my cart on was on my way to look for some glycerine. Then I thought about this thread. I said to myself, "Self, that is for those women on the board, the ones with the problems." Then the angel on my shoulder said, "That is YOU!" I put back the castor oil and came home and started a list...
