That will be our 2011 Challenge.:grin: You should have your Card (with the money on it by 12-31-10).

I'm still debating whether I should get $500.00.:ohwell:

I think I may start adding my money in Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.:yep:

Ok, we have time to think about how much we think we'll spend. We should concentrate on the seasons, and what we'll do with our hair during that those time frame, I may document in my messy journal:lachen:. I know I'll bun in the winter to protect my hair, hopefully I'll have a regimen and a couple of staples by the time we get our cards. I just got done with the steamer finally decide to use it and use up another product. I'll do my hair again on Sunday.

$12.00 at bolded. And some change:perplexed

Imma use up what I have and the other nice sized jar I got from Lamara and call it a day on WDT.:look:

Yeah T, that is what I am thinking too. I just think 15 bucks with shipping is a bit high for a small jar. I think it was $12.95 before.
 
My HV came. Brownie, I am trying to place the acai berry smell, it smells like a drug store conditioner but I can't put my finger on it.

I'm still 'undecided' about how much I actually really like it.:ohwell: I have other things I like just as much (if not more). i.e. SSI Banana Brulee and of course my new 'boo' Sitrinillah.:lick:

If I don't reup the WDT, I won't be hurt.:ohwell:

I guess I could always catch it during some sort of sale.:look:

I may just go back to banana brulee. I like it a lot too.
 
$365 may be a good amount for me. i could spend something like $50 at qhemet and that would be good because qhemet lasts me a long time. $50 at afroveda and that would last a long time. and then the rest i would split between shea butter, coconut and evoo, kbb hair milk and hair mask and oyin honey hemp.

but then again if you think about all the co wash conditioners, that money adds up. because even in the winter i did more w&g puffs then i did braids and twists so conditioners dont last me a whole lot of time.
 
For some reason things last me a long time too, I think in total I have used the SSI BB about 4-5 times and you would think it would be kinda middle or low, I literally turn it upside down and take some from the top to use skimming basically and guess what it hasn't even crossed the inner screw line yet, it is still above it.

My hair doesn't require too much product so things take forever to get used up. HUH yet my son's hair requires alot and he would use up my stuff so he can't have no SSI BB. LOL

Now:look: You Do Realize............That $365 is for the entire year of 2011 right?????

That's why I think I'll be doing the 5:blush:
 
*sneaks in...*

A gift card is such a good idea! I'm going to add up how much I spend on my staple products each year. But Che is right, I go through one bottle of Tresemme Naturals a week, and at $4.69 a bottle that would be $243.88!!

*sneaks out...*

Che, I think I could do $365 too. Stuff lasts me for a long time. How often do you co wash Che?
 
I so want to take these braids out, It will be two weeks tomorrow and I feel like it has been months, Hmmm maybe if I give myself another wash tomorrow with a deep conditioner I will be happy. :D

Oh yeah, I have to Volunteer tomorrow for field day, oh well when I come home tomorrow :D

i co wash everyday so that would be the bulk of my money. even cheap conditioners would add up.

i originally thought i could do $365 because one jar of qhemet heavy cream can last me a year because i only use it when i do braids and twists. and how often is that? then if i get afroveda her stuff can last me a little longer than 6 months, only because of the shelf life.

but if im co washing daily not only is that conditioner im using but that $16 leave in im using every single day, since i can never get second day hair lol.

I am really thinking about co washing like every other day. I am just kind of nervous about it causing split ends. I have been wearing my hair out more often and I am enjoying it. I think I am done PS for a minute. I need a change.

Since I've been natural co-washing is not working, only when I use the ayurveda powders but they have cleaning effects. What conditioners are you using?

Ltown, last summer I was co washing with Aussie moist and I felt like my hair was coated and dry. I am using hairveda 24/7 now and I love it. I also have a lot of jasmine's shea butter rinse that i could be using too.

I also noticed last summer that co washing too much left my ends a mess:nono:so I am just trying to find a balance.

i know you didnt ask me but for co washing i love giovanni smooth as silk, AO GBP(when i need a little protein), and aussie moist. i like suave tropical coconut too but havent used it in a long while.
 
It has been really hot the past two days. SO has asked if I can do my hair tonight. He loves my fresh washed hair, I guess. He better make it worth my while tomorrow. All day!!

I'm sitting here with CPR on and I guess I'll DC with WDT. I've been using the Bee Mine Oil Free spray since last week and it really makes my scalp feel good. So far, I like it.

I doubt Ill use anything up.

Che, I actually was asking you both but have problem with the quote so thanks for chiming in. I do use both of those usually just for conditioning, but I did use to use suave coconut prior to being fully natural. I think for cowashing I'll do without the cone, my hair love cone for conditioning and leave in but the washing is :nono:.
Mkd I ordered that shea rinse so I'll see how that works too. thanks ladies!
 
Mornin all, its storming here and hailing right now. Work cancelled the ot for tonight so i will be home. Im going to wash my hair tonight instead of tommorrow.
 
mkd said:
Has anyone used the kinky curly come clean poo?
Click to expand...

I used it ONCE. That stuff had my hair so clean I was scared:lachen:. A lil goes a long way with that one. If you use a lot of cones then it would be good for you but I would still dilute or use sparingly because you hair will Come Clean using that. Only thing is I don't remember if it was dry or not. I remember it felt really light and clean since it stripped all that stuff (cones) off.
