msa, jane carter products are so exspensive but her products ever fail me. i love love love her twist and lock cream(gonna use it tonight to twist). i love the N&S too but i rather just use shea butter and add stuff if i want to.

Yeah that n&s is really great...especially because I don't have the patience or the interest to mix things anymore. It's perfect for sealing in moisture and it smells so yummy. It's also the only thing I'm not heavy handed with so I might be able to keep it in my regimen without incurring too much expense. It has replaced Oyin whipped pudding for me...which basically cost the same because of shipping.

 

[La Colocha]

Of course.

My use it up list...there's actually much less than I thought.
-A smidge of oyin honey hemp conditioner (like 3 oz)
-1 Island Naturals
-1 Rosa Mosqueta
-2 GPB
-A smidge of HSR
-1 Vatika Frosting (smells super yummy but regular coconut oil will do)

I'm still trying to decide if I'll continue to repurchase the nourish & shine. I love the way it smells, and it's great for sealing but it's super expensive. Since I don't really use that much of it, I'm not trying to actively use it up. We'll see after I get through my 1.5 jars.

After I finish using all this up I plan to stick with coconut oil, AO WC, and aloe vera juice. I'm planning to try out gelatin as my protein treatment.

Pretty soon I'm planning to buy a pretty wrap and a horn comb. I also want one of those hot air brushes.

I can't wait until my list looks like this. Im glad you came in here, it gives me more inspiration to stick to my goals and use up my products.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Use it up use it up!!!

Believe me, you'll feel so free.

The reason I never buy products in bulk is because I love the satisfaction of finishing something and actually needing to go out and get more. Of course, that doesn't work if you order things online, which is why I stopped.

 

[Aggie]

Idn, is she still in school? She may be busy.

Ot: Miss aggie you look so pretty in your picture

Yeah, She Does! And she is Workin' Those Braids Until Times Get Better

Thanks ladies. Yawl are just so sweet.

See this is my problem. I live in a small town and all we have are sally's, bss and walmart, target ect. I can't get natural products anywhere but on line. If i could find some place here that sells them it would be easier for me to not order on line. In the bigger cities some of the things i use can be found in stores. The only butter i ever seen in the bss was some shea butter that looked 100 years old.

I can totally understand that...I'm glad I live in a large city (even though I can't find everything). But it's still good to stock up...but not overbuy. Then you don't get to do the fun part (buying stuff) as often.

 

[Aggie]

I think I'm off to bed myself, goodnight everyone.

 

[iNicola]

Here let me help you girl

I really like detangling with it! Has allot of slip!

Ohh...tempting. I saw these at Marshall but KIM.

Guys I am so excited for my weave!

Its gonna be this kinda hair!

I had hair similarly to this installed last year (can't find a pic). I was lurking BHM at the time and read up about sealing. I didn't seal all the weft because it was so time consuming...and I was too impatient. The ones that I didn't seal held up just as well. I had my weave in for 4 - 6 weeks at a time, took it out, wash the hair, detangle (for such curly hair, detangling was a breeze) and air dried it for my next install. I used the same hair for about 6 months. I have it back in the packaging and it's still in good shape but I won't be wearing weaves anymore.

I haven't seen inicola in a little bit. She may be working alot.

Present


Here is a list of things i'm using up as of now
Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Reconstructor (no rebuy)- Works fine but I have a bottle of the Chi Keratin Mist so no rebuy
Aussie Deep 3 Minute Miracle - Nothing spectacular about it, I have better products, no rebuy
HE Hydralicious Poo - I've been trying to use this up since I started the challenge...boy this poo is a fighter. I have a few more poos to get through as well
CHI SI (staple) - I'll be done with this by my next wash. I have 12 oz bottle to go next
YTC Mask (staple) - Should be done in 2 weeks tops. 3 more containers to go. I'm actually not in a rush to use this up.
YTCu condish (no rebuy) - I really like this but I have way too many condish right now
VO5 Condish (staple) - Almost done with this. I'll maybe use it with my next cowash this week. No need to rebuy...I have 20 more VO5s to go through and I don't feel bad about it. I'm a cowasher til the end.
Vatika Frosting - I'm actively using up the jar that Charz sent to me awhile back.


When will I ever get to use my Joico K-pak products? *sigh* I have so many goodies that I want to get to.

 

[chebaby]

i would love to go home and hit the hay but i need to do my hair. i really wanted to rock a puff all this week but them tangles earlier today got me scared to do anything other than twists. its freezing anyway so i guess i gotta do it.

You saw the bat signalMissed you girl, you have a good plan going on there.

Its freezing here too chebaby, i think (and that is a long thought)Might do a set of twists this weekend. But i have to do them tiny and my hands don't have the patience. When i do medium size and they get wet they want to unravel. The colochas want to be free.

 

[panamoni]

WOW Pana!

You really Put Some Thought into this. What "New" DC's are you thinking about trying?

Well, I'd like to try:
- Silicon Mix
- Banana Brule
- AO White Camelia
- I heard you talk about some caviar....??...not sure
- Miss Keys 10 en 1
- I like the Joico Intense Hydration, I think
- Silk Elements Mega something and Olive oil
I'm open to trying more.
And, if she ever gets the VF back in stock, I'll probably repurchase the Sitrinillah. And, I'll probably repurchase the Alter Ego eventually.

 

[panamoni]

I Pulled Out my Sample of Qhemet Olive Oil & Honey Hydrating Balm Tonight and Fell in Love All Over Again!

All this Time, I thought this might just be something that would work better in "warmer" weather, but It Made My Hair feel so Good and Moisturized.

I sure Hope she has a Holiday Sale.

THANKS!! YOU JUST REMINDED ME that I'm expecting a shippment from them of my samples!!! I'm going to the post office right now to see if it's arrived in my PO box. I was dying yesterday that the post office was closed.

ETA: I went, it's not there yet. ;o(

 

[panamoni]

Exactly!!! The Qhemet jars seem huge too. I have an 8 oz of the Honey Hydrating Balm. Puleze that stuff is gonna last forever.


I am packing up a box for the shelter this weekend.



I don't need any almond glaze .

Really Shay, if you like Almond Glaze, I can make you a really good deal . It just doesn't work for me and it's better that it goes to you, someone who would appreciate it, than not .

Think on These Things.

I'd like a reggie in 6 months, but I have a feeling, it's going to take me a year or so. Ultimately, I'd like to stick with one line (Phyto, Redken, or something else good) with some other DC's to use on occasion (Dominican, other ultra moisturizing).

My hair will be great in 6 months. I think it's always been healthy, but now, in 6 months, it will be past APL for sure!!

 

[Shay72]

Really Shay, if you like Almond Glaze, I can make you a really good deal . It just doesn't work for me and it's better that it goes to you, someone who would appreciate it, than not .

The reason I said that is because I have like 8 in stock . Please give it or sell it to someone that needs it or would like to give it a try.

6 months from now I will be 9 months post. I will hope my transition is still going well and I'm not ready to hurt someone.

6 months from now my stash should be extremely low in many categories and that's what I want. That's why I am purposefully not restocking in some not all.

Last night I finished my last HE Hydralicious. Not a repurchase. I also finished a jar of Roots of Nature....(long name). One down, 2 more jars to go.

Che I read in an earlier post that you have been using some Taalia Waajid(sp) products. Which ones have you tried and actually love enough to repurchase? Those prices were really gooda nd they seem natural - are they natural products?

Girl I was there when she bought it. The Mist is the only one of their products that is 100% natural.

One of their products had the second ingredient as parabans! One of the shampoos have sulfates.

But LC said they perform well.

Thanks Charz for such a wonderful description. It was the body mist I was most interested in anyway. Thanks again hun.

The price is really good for the 32oz size bottle too. It's like buying 3 of the 8oz bottle and getting the fourth bottle free.

6 months from now im hoping to have enough hair to do a pony without effort. And for my stash im hoping to only have staples and not be tempted to try anything new.

@ aggie, i have all the tw products except for the strengthner and the crinckles and curls. I love every single one of them. They are not all natural but mostly natural. The protective mist bodifer is a staple leave in, if you like s-curl this acts the same but without the glycerin so no matter what the weather it will still works the same.

Tonight im using tw mist, with ytcu leave in and sealed with shea amla butter. Everyone is doing a good job having plans and goals.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

In 6 months: I'd like to see Health & Length and a Managable Stash Filled with ALL the Wonderful Things I have for My Hair Now.

And that those Wonderful Things I Have All Produce Wonderful Results.

Okay this (bolded) right here is the number one reason for me to purchase this one. This is enough to convince me to get it. Thanks La.

That 32oz bottle is a far better buy than the 8oz bottle IMO.

 

[Brownie518]

^^ Aggie, I just ordered some of that mist, too. I can't wait to try it!!

 

[chebaby]

@aggie, the only TW product i have is the mist but i have not tried it yet because im trying to get rid of another mist first.

in 6 months i plan on having 6 more inches. i plan on only having in stock my staples and maybe two "just for fun" products. i plan on having hair so strong that the tightest of puffs wont bother me(not that i would do super tight puffs but ya know...).
