Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.2

I just came back from Stashville. And it isn't a pretty site (at all).:cantlook:

Yeah, I need to on a Personal No-Buy, June, July, August, September, October, November and December:ban:

I tried to separate and organize some stuff. I separated all my Reconstructors & Hair Repair "Treatments" for easier accessibility.

That exercise alone, let me know that I'm good on products (of any kind) for a long, long time.:nono:

I will be pulling my Alba Botancia Leave-In back out to hopefully finish up alternating it with my Alter Ego Nourish Spa Nova-Care Leave-In, and will use Serbastian Penetraitt for my weekly Reconstructor (to finish it up). *All of these are open.*

As long as I have at least 2-3 things in rotation, it seems easier to use up stuff. *don't ask why*:nono:
 
I used up Claudie's Protein Conditioner. Under the steamer with it now. I have plenty of back ups. I added a dc to my week. On Wednesday nights I do a moisturizing dc on dry hair. I sleep in it and wash it out in the morning. Depending on my schedule I will either steam on Wednesday or do it Thursday morning. On Sundays I do the protein dc. I'm baggying the nights I'm not airdrying. I am also making sure I am moisturizing morning and night. Making these changes--extra dc, baggying, and moisturizing 2x day has made a huge difference and my hair is no longer dry as the sahara :giggle:.

I wish I had enough Hair to Wet-Bun :sad:(or dry bun for that matter:lachen:) It would afford me the chance to really do my hair more often and I could tuck my ends away.

Maybe this time next year, I will have enough hair to 'bun' or mini-bun. :look:

Sounds like a Great Regi. Glad it's working for you.
 
Good afternoon, im tired:look:. Bout ready to crawl back in the bed. Anyway my hair is still doing good. I put tea tree oil on my scalp last night, i will do it every other day to try and keep it in check before it starts itching. Haven't used up anything, i thought i would be done with my mbc this week but maybe next week.

I haven't even started on my LITER of Eulcence MBC yet.:yawn:

*Toooooooooo Much Stuff*:nono:
 
Well...I broke down and finally ordered from Anita Grant. I figured now was the best time with the free worldwide shipping. I'm intrigued with the rhassoul cubes which is also known as morrocan mud which I use on my face and in my hair. I'm looking at more efficient ways to do things. Someone out there sells cassia melts too but her shop is closed right now. As soon as she opens back up I will be there.
The rhassoul condish is absolutely divine and was my staple for about 3 years. I may revisit them again. They left my hair feeling so nourished and soft but strong.
 
Just rubbed in a little Bee Mine Growth Serum w/Sulfur.

I think reading that BT thread made me pull it out.:look: I will use it this week for the next week or two and give my Mega-Tek a rest.:yep:
 
BostonMaria, are you still coming to the NY meetup next week?

I want to. My only concern is that the NY meet up thread has died down a bit and I'm not really sure if its happening.

My DD wants to buy some Bee Mine products for her baby. The Beads Braids and Beyond website did a review on the Bee Loved Hair Moisturizer and now she wants it. Does the Bee Mine Growth Serum have a strong smell of sulfur? I will probably order something for the baby, maybe throw in something for myself :sekret:

Not at all.:nono: It's sooooo fruity. Almost Sickening Fruity.:blush: No Sulfur smell at all. Try the Strawberry Kiwi (I think I like the scent of it better than the Mango).:yep:

For You: Definitely the Luscious Balancing Hair Cream:lick:

Thanks for posting: Will read the review.
 
Hello ladies. Right now I'm under a plastic cap with ors mayo and it's been on for an hour already. I will was it out with something, don't know what and then deep condition with kbb hair mask.
My afroveda shipped yesterday so my ashlii will be here soon. Also the whipped gelly will be here and I plan on using it for my twist outs.
I also exspect my monoi de Tahiti too be here tomorrow too.

Tonight I plan on doing a twist out with she amla and curl define.
 
It looks like theres a new thread in the meet up forum to see how many people are coming. Check that thread out to see if its worth making the trip. If you do decide to come, let me know so I can pick you up from the train station.

I met up with day36, optimus prime, charzboss and her aunt and redcourvet (did I spell your screen name right red) today and I had a lot of fun. Red...after you left, the waiter got crazy with the receipt and tip. The manager had to be called over at least two times.

Im almost done with my silicon mix. I purchased a bambu silicon mix and regular silicon mix as back ups.

I'm here at work so bored. I can't wait to go home and be off for the week. I'm gonna do my hair tomorrow. See how this new Hairveda condish measure up.
 
Hey ladies!

Has anyone ever used Australian Organics products? I bought some of the Nourishing Restorative Conditioner today but I'm wondering if I should return it.

On another note, I also finally purchased that Seaweed conditioner I've been fiending for. :lol:
 
So, I had said I would go through my receipts and see how much I spent on hair products in April. :look: Well, I did it and it was $302. That included my larger-than-usual order from Hairveda of $92. So, that was the damage. :look: What do you all think????


ETA: For May, the total is 34 bucks for the 3 bottles of Hairveda Phyto.

Hello and good morning I just got finished catching up with this thread, I am glad the NYC meet up was fun for all :D

IdareT I as a PJ I would love to see pics of this stash :D LOL Junkie that I am.
Your absolutely right when you have a few things in rotation the itch seems to be not as great.


Brownie, $$$$$ I am going to keep my eye on you! :D

Ltown you did seem busy, sounds nice though, :D

As for me, I am slowly using my things up once a week, so my U1B1 will be slow like molasses

Maybe that was an unusually high month or do you think that's your average?

Wait let me check mine. I ain't too far off:
April--$219
May--$263

:nono:

I'm going to check March in a minute, see how bad I lost my mind that month. I do think it was a bit high, though. :look: I hope, anyway. Wow, Shay, 263 for May and its only half done.

And JJamiah, please do keep an eye on me. Keep me in check!!! :yep:
