Hi all,
I joined the community back in August, and since then have been a bit of a product junkie as I've been getting my regimen down. I'm just about down to my favorite products. My henna and amla should arrive this week and those are the last items that I had to get on my list. Since my products are pretty much all natural and organic (except for the minimal amount of preservatives in the Qhemet line, and the Phytorelaxer), it helps curb my spending because I don't run out and try every new product. However, any money that I save by not running out and buying each new product that gets rave reviews here, is negated by the higher cost of my natural/organic products.
Starting today, for the next year, I want to track all my haircare expenses and see how much I spend per year on keeping my hair healthy. This includes vitamins, trips to the stylist every 12 weeks for touchups, all products, appliances, etc. I wanted to see if any ladies wanted to join me. We could check back in a year from now and see how we do. I also want to see how much more money I am spending on my natural hair care lines versus my LHCF sistas who use regular products. Since I'm an anal accountant, I'm going to be tracking my spending in a spreadsheet because I want it broken down by category. However, it could be as easy as throwing all the receipts for hair care purchases in a shoebox and tallying up at the end of the year.
Any takers?
PS. If you buy a lot of vitamins from GNC, be sure to get their gold card. You get 20% of purchases made during the first week of every month.

), pack of disposable gloves, drop cloth for bathroom floor/counter, measuring spoons, pectin, funnel set, freezer jars for leftovers, applicator bottles, etc. And I'm not done spending for this week as yet. My MSM is just about done so I'll be placing an online order today for a new brand that I want to try.
. When you combine all the money I spend on hair care with the amount of money I spend on skincare, it's pretty obvious - I need a whipping.
