Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

IDares...I forgot to say CONGRATS on your stretch!

My next relaxer will be around February 2010.

I want to buy some duck bill clips to keep my hair UP but the BSS near me wanted $6.00 for six clips :blush:. I knew I saw them somewhere else for cheaper so Im about to go out again and purchase some.

You can also use them to make room. I can make jars fit better in a drawer than bottles. And somtimes we get those mix match products that come in a container when it would be better in another. Like a liquidy dc can be put in a bottle and a thick moisturizer or conditoner that comes in a bottle that would be better in a jar.

Excellent point! T "blessed" me with a jar of the Red Ashili Mask (sp) and I love the way it opens. Rather than throw it away, I repurposed it for my JBCO/CO mixture. Some containers are worth saving and using for dispensing other products.
 
These are some of the Helpful Tips we Need to take into the New Year.:grin:

Stuff Like the La & Recycling of Jars, Lamara and her Inventory List and the Product Reviews (thanks WnS, Shay etc...), Americka and Her Mixtressing Tips, etc......:bookworm: Valuable Stuff.:brainy:

There are so many other "Helpful" things we can talk about instead of just buying products:drool:

Now, Don't get me Wrong, I love to buy stuff just like the next PJ (and a whole lot of it) And I have the Stash to Prove it.

But I need something else now in my Journey, Something that is gonna to really help me through this next phase. I think it is more about helpful ideas, tips, pointers, reviews......:detective:

AO Would Definitely Work Better in a Jar (and you could get it all out). They can be a 'pain' to get out and use up.:yep:

But I will cut Ya if I have to!:rolleyes: I Don't Play.

As soon as I read LC's post I was like I've been meaning to transfer AOHSR and AOGPB to jars. Shoot but I already have a headache I may wait until tomorrow.

You are right, like t said instead of buying other containers you already have them there.:yep:
 
Wow im looking at my list and it ain't pretty. I don't have alot of stuff but i have alot of stuff.:look::lachen:And yall know how long it takes me to use up something. *throws in towel*.
 
The Only "Other" Thing I may possibly buy is a Replacement Wig. I can't stand a Woman in a Bad Looking WIG.:nono: :lachen:

And I don't know if this 1 will take me Fully into Spring (Late April).

I had a Poster offer to send me one (which was very sweet of Her) But I will look into possibly getting a back-up.

Or......I may just wait until I'm the woman in the Bad Looking WIG:antlers:

Imma Work the One I got for now.:look: I got one of my Buns from HSisters. And I told a friend about them and she purchased a Lace-Front from them a while back. I like them. Fast Shipping. Good Company.

There is a Local BSS that I will look at (if I have to invest in another:perplexed) It's going to be an adjustment getting use to it and moisturizing underneath.

I am still toying with exactly how to make that work? I did get a wig cap. So, I don't know. I think baggying and wig capping would probably be too much 'moisture' during the day. Especially Baggying.:nono:

I will have to play around with my Regi until I get it right. But it will be a good "Hide Your Hair" this Winter For Me. Because I am one 'not' to wear a Hat.

I'll pm Starronda & Self-Styled before I start to get a few more tips.:yep:

Did anybody check to see if Prettywrap was having a BF Sale? At some point, I'd still like to get a Black One.:ohwell:

I didn't even check, im about due for another one, my print one is fine but the first one i got is getting loose in the elastic.
 
Dag!!!! I just passed by a walgreens and I wanted to stop in there and find the db clips. I doubted that they would have them and I went right into the BSS to get 6 db's for $4.99 :perplexed. theres isnt a sallys in my area :(. I was just in Maryland and I saw a sallys but I wasnt able to go.

Sho' Is:look: Cause I was gon' use that instead of the wig cap.:look:

It woulda' been great to moisturize under.:yep:

Do you have a brown wig cap or black? In some of the wig threads the ladies use the mens scull cap to keep their hair moisturized. Its smoother than a wig cap and it stretches. That's where i got the idea to buy one for my wraps.
 
La: Did you Clarify? What do you use? Eulcence Clarifying 'Poo or Which?

I gotta remember to do that next week. I better write that down.:look:

I may also do a quick Indigo Treatment w/o Henna (since I already have the stain) for like an hour.

Gotta a question that is so OT but it is driving me crazy. What is 4C hair?
Click to expand...

I think 4c is "supposed" to represent extremely coily/kinky hair that lacks definition i.e. curls and "s". This type of hair is usually defined by "z" shapes in the strand. Think of hair that looks like a cottony cloud.

Hair typing makes me :drunk:.

Yeah. Me Neither.:nono:

It's always been too drying for me.:perplexed And now that I look back at it, I bet this was one 'of the many problems' I experienced during my weekly Salon Visits with dry itchy scalp and damage from SLS, cause IK her raggedy B-Hind was using all kinds of crazy products.:rolleyes:

Co-Washing has been great for me. Both My Hair & My Scalp. And then Clarify Monthly (or as needed).:yep:

Thanks LHCF:grin:

Well there are actually quite a few videos geared to the 4C hair type on youtube. I watched a couple but they didn't enlighten me :lachen:but I started to think that maybe it's the same as what they call cnapp which has its own website. I will find the link and put it in this post. I'm definitely not a 4C but I do like learning new things.
