Well Ladies....Day 6! (or is this 7th:perplexed)....Still no purchases.

I am actually kinda getting excited about going this entire week w/o thinking about purchasing a hair product. (And that's Big, For Me, Major/Huge).:blush:

Maybe if I take it week to week, I'll be Cool.

I am seriously going to try to do this thang this entire month. I want to be free of this addiction.:look:

And I think right now, I am strong enough to do it. Anyway, whenever I take one look at my Stash I get::spinning:

I hope Brownie518 will hang in there with me!:grin:

I will join you and brownie in a no buy, i haven't gotten many hair products but i have other issues:look:. I can do it with you guys.
 
Hey ladies,

I used up a vo5 last night. Nothing big. I do love those moisture milks over their other condishes.

OP, the Mufe store is in the cut on E. 12th St between uni pl and 6th (either 5th or 6th). I almost didnt even notice it. I havent been inside before.

Hi Aggie, here is the link http://www.skalabeauty.com/

Do you have Big Lot in Bahamas? When you go to the link it will show you stores that maybe there. I think if you can find a spanish store there you probably find it. Some of these stores listed sell $5 the big deal is Big lot is selling it for $1. I think the store in my area got hip to the sell or Skala figure out it selling fast and cheap.
 
You all know I did my Hair Tuesday.:look: Tryna' decide now, if I will do it again on Saturday......:ohwell:

Need to be thinking of my Regi. I think if I do it Saturday, I could use up a few things. Like that Beauty w/o Cruelty Conditioner and the Nexxus Keraphix and a couple vials of 'stuff'.

That reason alone, doing it Saturday makes it an attractive option.:yep:
 
No more of my things are close to being used up:

We finished the following this week:

* HE HH shampoo
* HE HH conditioner
* VO5 - Conditioner

NTM has one more use for my son, Everything Else is moving at slower than snail Pace speed. I am moving slllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwllly!
 
good evening ladies :)
hope you're doing well..
so I had to place an order with darcy's because I have no more leave-in and my hair needs some. I am locking :) yay!! hopefully my journey will be longer than 3 months. Last winter after 3 months, I was missing my loose hair so much...sigh..I love how black hair is soo versatile and beautiful :)

Anyways I am a big believer in using what works for your loose hair instead of water and oil. I tried that and my hair was super dry and crying for moisture...
Anyways, my hair has been dry lately and i couldn't pinpoint the reason...then it hit me, i haven't used any hair milk b/c I keep waiting for the freebie kbb friday to see if i can order more..
So in the meantime, I love how darcy's botanicals daily leave-in conditioner is so light
then i got some transitioning creme for days when i need more moisture
other than that, I should finish using njoi creations coconut cream ..i've been using it as a body butter..

I am also looking forward to the make up show! it is going to be so much fun and I can't wait to meet Optimus Prime, Charbozz and day 36.
I cannot thank enough Day 36 for her patience and providing directions.
I've been to nyc several times but always with someone who knew really well the area. So all I had to do was follow them..thanks to Day 36, I am less nervous of my adventure in the big city..
I decided not to have a list but just go with an open mind...and not go crazy with the sales..

@Aggie: looove the avatar! beautiful!

Hey ladies! I posted these pictures in the Skala thread but wanted to post here too. IDareT'sHair sent me a box of Skala (God bless you girl) and here are pictures of my hair after using the mask and leave-in conditioner. In these pictures my hair is rollerset, only roots flatironed (that's why my hair looks "short").

Short, my foot!
Very nice hair and stash.

I had a flare up of hair anorexia in the shower this week. I'll be 10 weeks post tomorrow and my hair looks shrunken. I was talmbout "I need to be shamed of myself, all up in the WL 2010 challenge" :mad:
 
Hey ladies!

I haven't used up anything but I haven't bought anything either so I guess it isn't soo bad.

I just found out that my hair dresser essentially was fired from the salon. She gave the owner, who I can't stand, her 2 weeke notice. This heaux hands her her check on pay day and tells her not to come back.

She is the only person that has relaxed my hair for the last 5 years. She is now doing hair our of her home. She said she can do my hair but I feel some sort of way about going to her home, apparently she is charging the same as the salon. I don't know if she has a setup. I am a bit of a germaphobe and will have a fit if I have to.

Sigh......

Something similar happened to my old hair dresser. She had already planned on leaving and she knew the deal - as soon as you give your 2 weeks you must leave on the spot. This is because they don't want you to have access to all of the client contact info and take your customers with you. Luckily she had already planned it out and informed her clients weeks in advance of where she would be working. :)

I call it "Conditioner Porn" I could stare for hours :nono::lachen:
 
:yep: Okay, ladies! T, La, and natura, we can do this. :grin: I'm not buying any hair stuff, bath and body, makeup, or perfumes. Oh, no bags, either. :ohwell: And no clothes. :sad: My staples are all set. I'm almost out of GVP Anti Snap, but I will make do without it.

I finished my big tub of Alter Ego Garlic. Absolute repurchase after this no buy. I used up a 1 oz of Njoi Nourish Oil and the Replenish Oil. I have bigger bottles of each. I don't think I'll use anything else up besides Smooth Express tubes.
 
My anita grant is shipping on the 11th. I am going on a no buy after The Makeup Show. Makeup is the only thing killing my pocket.

I think you should give her a chance to do it out of her home; you know her and you trust her. I am sure it will be temporary. My hairdresser was working out of her house for a year or so after she had just had a baby and then she bought a loft and opened her own shop. If you go and can't deal with her house, then you can try to find someone else. But maybe you can at least give her a shot.
 
Is anyone getting anything from Qhemet? I know Shay already did. BeeMine is having their 15% this weekend and Shescentit is 20% starting Sunday. She said there will be a few new items.

1X Banana
1X Raspberry

Vegan Babassu Finishing Pomades Samples in:
Organic Carrot and Babassu
Babassu Spice
Cucumber and Babassu

4x Organic Dark Chocolate & Banana Smoothie Face Mask Samples
Babassu Amla Shampoo Mini Bar Sample
Organic Kelp + Ylang Babassu Shampoo Mini Bar Sample

Japanese Camellia Kissi Oil - Sample Pink Grapefruit Kissi Oil
 
Brownie, I can buy qhemet locally so I am skipping the sale.

I really considered attempting to co wash more often, not every day but maybe 5 days a week or so. Then I started thinking back to this time last year when that didn't go so well and decided to leave well enough alone.
 
Thanks guys for the advice. I am going to get a wash and set next week. I counted I am only 8 weeks post :(

I figure I can hold off on the relaxer for at least 2 more weeks.

I am going to order the alter ego lineage shea butter relaxer and give that a try. I've used Mizani for the last year and I am not that happy with it.
 
Charz - you have good parents! My mom is steady talking about one of us need to have a big wedding, I asked her if she was putting 5 on this big wedding and she got quiet.
