Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.1

[chebaby]

so my bff and i just decided we will be at the Baltimore hair expo on Sunday. im excited.

 

[Optimus_Prime]

I finished one 10 en 1 Condish, one bottle of HE LTR leave-in, one bottle of coconut oil.

*ahem* I bought one Garlic conditioner and a cinnamon conditioner.

@Shay: That detangling Comb has amazing reviews. Let us know when you get it.

Yeah I think my hair needs it . I've been holding out for better free samples from Sephora before I ordered but I need to get the comb.

Where is everyone?

Over here exhausted. I had a huge event for work tonight and got in about 10:30. It was really successful and everyone had fun so that is what counts.

 

[redecouvert]

almost done with a moringa pomade too...
lately I've had locs envy..but it comes and goes..
@IDareT's Hair: girl, the contest is going well. I am voting soo much that I can type the BB website with my eyes closed..LOL.
sometimes I have dreams about it...

I am soo grateful for all the support and so thankful for everyone who is voting and ROBOTxcore for starting a thread here! It has helped tremendously with the ratings.

At the beginning I was soo obsessed, going there every 5 sec..well i am exaggerating, every 2-3 minutes. Then I couldn't understand how the votes were computed because I'd vote several times and the number didn't change. So I guess it is the overall score.
Anyways, I just want to be among the top 5. I am also learning so much from this experience about myself and also that sometimes you have to leave it in the hands of God, friends and family

end of off topic.

So another great news: I am not even thrilled to purchase anymore. I heard great stuff about beija flores, went on the website and everything looks great but then i logged out.. yay!!
I just want to use up my stuff one by one

 

[natura87]

I still havent finished anything but I am getting there. I have a few things(like 4 or 5) that are almost gone.

I saw some sales....so yeah, I bought it. I have a ton of stuff I need to use up.

:/

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Chickies!!!!

I'm up early. I went to bed early! Long Week.

Now ya'll know I hate sleeping in product...... But it was 'buttery' instead of 'wet'.

But, I did this overnight treatment of this Red Palm Butter. It's kinda like that Ojon Restorative Treatment. You are suppose to use it B4 shampooing, (like a pre-poo), but I really wasn't seeing any fabulous 'results' at all, so I decided to 'Sleep' in it.

So, I will co-wash that out with the rest of my Tigi and some Nexxus Humectress (that is also open). Will use my Mendex (hopefully use that up) and Steam with Joico Moisture Recovery.

My Hair is a little dry. I will be relaxing/texlaxing Good Friday Weekend. So, I have a couple of weeks to go........

 

[Ltown]

Che, my hair is feeling kind of nasty today too. I just DC and roller set and it was kind more tangled than usual. I like the way KCCC makes my hair look but I have to find a way to make it more moisturizing.

The KCCC seems to be a small good problem for us, hopefully we'll figure out or move on.

 

[La Colocha]

I hate my hair, i was so happy that it had grown and i was getting ready to put it in a pony and my hair shrank up, all the way up. I thought i was going to be able to bun by now but with the shrinkage i can't. If there was anyone i trusted here i would texlax but i know of no one. With my hair wet my longest layer is past my shoulders but what does it matter when it shrinks up. I will leave my hair out until next week and go back to plaits. Well the good news is that my hair butter i made works really well, my hair is soft and smells good.

 

[♥Lamaravilla♥]

LC, why don't you make your pony while you're in the shower? That's how I used to get my sleekest buns, put it up in a pony with the water running thru it.

I may try that lamara, but i had washed and dc'd my hair. I like to put jbco on my scalp before i do anything to it. I left it soaking wet but that still didn't work. My bulk is in my crown and it had shunk up and made it hard to put in a pony. Im tired of braiding my hair up all the time and with it getting warmer i want to do different styles. I guess taking a look at something positive is that my head used to hurt when i pulled it back and now it doesn't.

When I have a style that I don't want to disturb I will apply the jbco by using an applicator bottle like what they use for hair color. That way it's easy to get to all parts of my scalp and I don't have to pull my hair down. You won't be able to massage it, but it will still do what it's supposed to.

Before I relaxed my hair this last time and bc'ed again, I would say I styled my hair 80% of the time in the shower with water running through it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Okay on the Use Up Tip:

1) Finished up the Tigi Moisture Maniac *didn't have to use the Humectress afterall, but will start on that one Tuesday*

2) The Bottle of Roux Mendex * Will repurchase*

3) A Tube of Joico Moisture Recovery * have two 16.9 Pumps as back ups.* Will start on the one that's already Open (that Fab sent me).

4) 1 Vial of Matrix Biolage Ceramides

I have so many 6, 8, 10 Ounce Co-Wash type conditioners still trying to knock those out.

*that's all Folx*

 

[Brownie518]

I used up a JF Luminous Glaze, more in the stash.
I used my Komaza Moku conditioner and I love it so far!! Definite repurchase!!
Not sure what I can use up this week. Maybe Komaza Intense Moisture.

 

[Day36]

Even though I am super late, here to co-sign WNS. We had a great time...without spending much. *hugs*

I am half finished with two bottles of V05s, will repurchase, esp since I am in the CW challenge. Che, Robot, Vonnie, Rosa, and all the ladies who put me onto Avocado butter...Thanks so much! I luuurve it!. It keeps my hair moisturized for daaaays, only have to seal or spray a little mist. Most of the times that I apply it to wet hair, after a wash, I dont even have to add anything else. Before, I had to add a liquid leave in and a creamy leave-in before sealing. Now, water + AB= lasting goodness. This may just get me to give up tw and he ltr leave-in, once I finish the ____ bottles of them that I have currently. Thanks again ladies! Enjoy the weekend and get some relaxation time!

 

[fattyfatfat]

right now Im under my steamah! Im steaming with a honey mask from my honey child. I shampooed (sp?) with nutrine garlic shampoo (staple!). After I roller set, Im going to use the njoi creations ayurvedic hair butter (with sulfur added) and attempt to french braid my hair.

 

[BostonMaria]

Hello ladies!
I'm ready to head out the door. Its beautiful outside! I've been co-washing again and pretty soon I'll be co-washing more and rollersetting less.

I finally used the gel I made a few weeks ago. Pros: the gel has nice slip and its not crunch so my hair is nice and "big" (its still drying). Cons: don't like the smell of the aloe vera gel. I wish I could get rid of the smell, but until its dry I am stuck with it. If my hair dries and looks decent I'll take a picture.

Been working 50-60 hours a week lately, plus taking 2 classes so I'm probably gonna have to buy some hair products until I actually have some time to make some. Maybe Hairveda? I don't know yet.

 

[fattyfatfat]

my shescentit package should be here today!

 

[natura87]

DC'd over night with my Lustrasilk/coconut oil mix that is talking forever to get rid of. I will cowash with whatever conditioner I have around and try to use up something. Anything.


Oh, one of my little sisters bought me 2 bottles of HE conditioner. She knows my addictions and she feeds into them.

[IDareT'sHair]

Went into the BSS to buy Neck Strips....(those white papery things)

Left with: White Neck Strips.... YAY ME!!!!

No Hair Products......(today)....

It's such a Struggle.

 

[La Colocha]

What's up with yall, we used to have this thread poppin, 40,000 views on the second page lmaonow its all dead. Anyway im over my hair rant, i didn't go natural for a bun and it will come in time. With me keeping my hair out all week it should hopefully stretch it out and im going to use lamara's advice. Its about time for my april reup. All i need is tw mist, ive used up 5 bottles and i have about 1 in a quarter left. Everything else is holding up well. Also don't let the liters of conditioner scare you, my mbc is going too quick for my tastes. Its the shampoo that's going to be here long after ive gone on to glory.

 

[Shay72]

This aloe vera gelly is holding on for dear life. I think I will finish it by tomorrow. I have a back up but I will start using my Qhemet Honey Bush Tea Gel.

I ordered my Ouidad comb so I will let ya'll know how that goes. I also ordered Gleau (glow) oil. It's a thread on here somewhere. I didn't read the thread but I knew about it because I read the girl's blog. She's a member here.

LC--Some of the DMV ladies are at the hair show this weekend.

Girl, You Crazy!

 

[♥Lamaravilla♥]

Well . . . I broke my shopping fast

I got Whipped green tea butter, moist condition 24/7, Hydrasilica spritz, and cocasta oil. I got the bulk for the oil and the conditioner

I forgot to tell you guys! So I'm finally getting rid of the Jessiecurl WDT. I have like 25% left of the king kong bottle, and the damn pump stops working I had to cut that big ole sucker open and scoop everything out into a big ole tupperware bowl

Girl, You and that Crazy Gallon of WDT!

When it's FINALLY Gone Imma:

Enjoy Your Purchases.

When I get rid of all these small bottles/tubes of Conditioners say: 2013, I will prolly invest in the Moist 24/7 strictly for Co-Washing.

 

[La Colocha]

I don't know if im going to cowash this year. I may baggy but i haven't decided yet. Its still a bit too early.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I don't know if im going to cowash this year. I may baggy but i haven't decided yet. Its still a bit too early.

I baggied last night. May try to do it once or twice a week as I am trying to use up that Red Palm Oil Restorative (Pre-Poo) Treatment.

I can't wait to use up some of these small tubes of conditioners.

So, I am kinda looking forward to co-washing twice a week. Hopefully, I can stay on top of it, and not revert back to once a week. It's going to depend on how 'hectic' my Tuesday's get at work.

In the DDC Challenge, I committed to once-twice a week.

 

[Optimus_Prime]

I've at least figured out what I'm going to do with one of my liters of leave in. I'm gonna use the wave nouveau stuff for the wet bun challenge that I joined.

My beloved Giovanni direct has a different formula now, so thank heavens I have 5-6 extra bottles of the original.

I think once it gets warm, I'll lay off on rollersets and condition 2-3 times a week then bun. I'll still use my hard dryer to make sure my hair doesn't stay too wet and tangle/mat. I don't mind rinsing out the Rusk leave in so often since it has cones anyway.

Man.....I Wish I had enough Hair to "Bun" without a Phony attached.

I'd be a Bunnin' Fool !

In College: That was my Main 'Doo.

Enjoy the Bun Challenge

I may get more s-curl to baggy with, it did a wonderful job on my hair last summer.
