Ms. B i feel the same way, throat itchy and stuffed up nose.

Charz for 2011, for hair stuff i put $150- $200 and it maybe lower, if i use up everything that i have before i buy anything else i can see myself not needing much.

Body stuff and makeup- $0 because i will be on the look out on black friday to complete this year. I will have enough stuff to last all next year if i use it all up.

chebaby, so KBB's cream is really a butter? I was surprised by the consistency. What is the butter like if the cream is a butter?

yep, she changed her cream to now what looks like a butter. the butter is more like a pomade to me. i like it though. but i can do without the cream.
 
i rinsed my twists today just because i needed to feel water on my scalp. tonight i wil take these twists out and detangle with qhemet ghee. tomorrow i will shampoo with creme of nature and condition with AO GPB if i have any left. then i will do a wash and go with giovanni direct leave in and curl clouds.
 
Hey Ladies.

I'm bout to leave out for work.

I HOT,washed and twisted yesterday. I used up a Jasmines Nourishing condish, Cocasta Oil (1back up), my DC mix. Next week I'll use up my Curls leave-in.

I'm really not feeling my twists again this week despite making them smaller. I'm not sure if its the products (Curls line) or the awkardness of my hair growing out. I'm probably going to do something different i have a formal birthday party on Saturday.

When I looked at this earlier I was:blush: but then I forgot you are project manager. I don't even know what I'm spend in 2011 but I probably did spend that much this year. I have to get a car for me and give dd the old one and save for college so I definately need to a plan.
 
@Ltown lol it does look bad, but I don't indulge in other things that are $$$. I don't do cable, i don't get my nails/feet did, I don't eat out much, pack my lunch, my car is sitting in storage at my parent's house (no gas, maintenance or insurance), my gym membership is only $99 a year, and I get a $250 travel subsidy.

Also I guessed high because I find that when I guess low, I get that crackhead itch and go over.

My hair soaks up so much product now that it is APL and when I get to MBL its gonna be crazy :(.

And really my hair dye habit accounts for $450 of my hair budget and my tattoo is gonna account for $250.

Or atleast this is what I keep telling myself lol :look: :giggle: :sekret:

i dont know how much i will spend next year but it wont be much. im already starting to look into making my own products.
 
I got my MHC stuff today...I'll have to try some stuff this week, see if I like anything.

So the forum will be down all weekend. I'm supposed to go see either Skyline or Unstoppable tomorrow. I guess I'll do a lot of reading.

Hey, when are we gonna start a new thread?
 
im a little sad the site will be down on sunday since thats when i do my henna and i want to here all about what yall did with yall hair. i guess we'll have catch up on monday lmao. maybe i can get some stuff done around the house. and i do plan on going to the bookstore so ill buy something to read.
 
Hey ladies, mama t probably had a long work day. I know i am beat and i didn't even do anything but sleep today. Going to do my head tomorrow. This time of year i am useless lmao. Will probably lurk for a bit longer then turn in.
 
I bought 2 bottles of EVOO (one for myself and one for my sister) and a bottle of EVCO. My sister is showing an interest in taking care of her hair and has raided my stash. Didnt see this coming. I finished a bottle of V05 poo.

I finished my box braids and I hope to keep them in for 2 weeks.
 
I relaxed today. I forgot how much of a texlax I get when I base - so I only based my hairline this time to ensure a more even, straightening. {But of course you run the risk of overprocessing - so I do not advise this!} I work quickly. I used Syntonics and I really like this relaxer, gives great uniform straightening, little to no scalp irritation (I feel irritated quickly) and it doesn't eat your hair up.

(The jury is still out on the rest of this line. I would rank it a few steps below Redken - it has good performance, but it is certainly missing a few KEY ingred.*Silk aminos, ceramides, rice bran/sunflower oil)

Midstep - Silk aminos mixed with Thermafuse Volume conditioner (for ceramides, wheat proteins, keratin & cystine) and Sebastian Penetraitt. That was an excellent mix.

Final seal conditioner with Wella Regenal. Love that stuff - clamps the cuticle down.

I was hoping to finish the Penetraitt - but there is one more use. Don't know if I would repurchase right now. I want to go back to Joico for a bit. But I do like the simplicity of the ingreds. and their molecule structure being so small that it actually does penetrate the cuticle. But this conditioner doesn't thicken and I want more thickening products.

Anywho - rollerset with Syntonics Strength serum (aaah, not better than my beloved R.Anti-Snap! its alright.) and Syntonics Foam Wrap. It gave a pretty nice hold and not tacky.

I spent a full evening last night organizing my stuff - with an inventory list! LOL....SMH

I'm now full cbl. Yea me.
 
Alright where are you all??? DMV ladies did you see the news about Jack Johnson and wife busted, maybe PG will get better. Has anyone ever tried coil out? I'm going to be checking out styles on youtube and crocheting today between this down time.
 
Ltown

I know that robot. does coils.

I think that my biggest problem is shopping online. It's easy to put a couple things you don't need in you cart, or to get a high from shopping online especially during sale times.

That's why I am happy there is a whole foods that sells Kinky Curly 5 minutes away from my apt and an Ulta that sells Redken is nearby too. So I can buy as I need it. Also there is a retailer that sells Qhemet too. If only I could find a mostly natural DC that I could buy here, that wasn't so expensive.

Earlier tonight, I told myself it was time to make an inventory list. That will be this weekend's project. :fan:

I made two inventory lists at the start of this year. One for my ingredients such as oils and butters and one for commercial products (conditioners and shampoos). I have been updating them each month so it has given me an idea of how much I use over the course of the year for my hair and and body concoctions.

I currently know that I have too much oil. I normally make body butters with shea butter and a little bit of oil but in order to use up some of these oils, I made myself a body oil concoction a couple of weeks ago :lick: I will continue to do this for a few months to use some of them up. I need to make some body butters for my friend and his son so I will use up some more stuff that way.

I plan to only order something if it is a staple. The only thing that I need at the moment is Bentonite Clay. I cannot find mine anywhere and I had a clear out the other day and just wonder if I threw it out in error :perplexed

Anyone still use aubrey organics?
Click to expand...
Yep love their conditioners, they have been my staples for about 4 years :lick:

GBP conditioner: I use this as my prepoo every month except when I use BGA Hair Rescue Mask. I love the way it makes my hair feel and it is a perfect balance of protein and moisture for me.

BGA Hair Rescue mask - I use this as my prepoo every 6 months as a stronger protein treatment. I used it last month, my hair had been feeling weird and that sorted my hair right out.

White Camellia conditioner: staple conditioner after I have shampooed and it is an great detangler. It has been a staple for about 3 years, I took a break from it to try Darcy's a couple of months ago and I will finish that today so I will be back to WC from next month

Honeysuckle Rose conditioner: I used to use this to prepoo with honey and molasses but as I used to get my hair done every two weeks and would rotate this with my GBP. Currently I just this to co-wash, it has been a staple since 2005/6 but not sure if I will repurchase once I have used up what I have

White Camellia shampoo: I love this shampoo as it cleanses without stripping. I may switch to black soap after I have used up what I have

Charz, have you went to the shop in Silver Springs? If they don't have what you want maybe if you mention it they'll get it for you. Heck you are you tuber let them know you'll mention their store you might get the hook up. Oh by the way you and Robot video was nice! I live in Southern Maryland so I have not visit the shop yet but I'm stock for now but will probably go up there next Fri I'm off.
 
fattyfatfat rosalindb

Thanks ladies.

I used to love this stuff and then I got the PJ bug. I'm thinking about replacing my Jessicurl WDT with Honeysuckle rose. It's cheaper if you buy in bulk at Vitacost and you can buy it at whole foods.
 
Ltown I have not been yet. I'm trying not to go, because I might have a PJ snap lol. Seriously. Thank Goodness I would have to catch 2 buses to get over there. Aww thanks about the robot. interview. Would you be interested in doing an interview?
 
Hey Ladies......:wave:

I guess Nikos hasn't taken it down yet Uh?:ohwell: Oh Well. Wasn't on last night. Missed alot of important conversation.

Not sure how much I'll spend in 2011. Hopefully, not much. Imma really, really, really try to curtail the Hair Product Spending after BF (of course).

About AO -- I have a 16 ounce bottle of GBP.:drool:

I'm with Charz & the PJ Bug thing. AO works great and is decently priced and easily accessible. Right now, I have so much other stuff, AO kinda gets lost in my head:spinning:

After BF, Imma concentrate really hard on getting my stash down.:look:

ETA: That Inventory list sounds good. I wish somebody would/could do it for me tho'.:lol:
