That Sounds Like Some Good Stuff Right Here!:grin: :lick:

Have Fun at the Play!:yep:
 
It took me about 2 hours to sort, list and box all of my products. I haven't used anything up lately because I'm only washing once a week now.

Okay...Now tell me what all you did????:drunk:

I'm not going to do it (of course:look:), but I do like to hear about people that are Organized!:lol:
 
I wish I could take those flexi rods back to the store, I don't even want to try it again. the only reason I will is because I hate to have wasted my money.

I have a picture of the finished product and I'll see if I can upload later...

Basically I took everything out of my closet and put in on my bedroom floor. I wrote the names of each product as I came across it. Once I had everything listed, I sorted some of them by product name and others by type i.e. Skala, Dominican DCs, and styling products. As I packed the boxes, I wrote the names of products on a label and taped the label to the box. I got tired of seeing products scattered all over the closet.

I also wrote down what each product is "supposed to do" and the main ingredients in them (except for the styling products.) So I'll probably type that up tomorrow and put it in my binder.

I discovered that I am low on conditioners - under 6 of them - so that is the ONLY thing I need to buy. :look:

ETA - Those boxes may not seem big, but there is a LOT of stuff in them! :grin:

Thanks, LC! Yes, I am. I had run out of cons and masques until Fairy Hairmother T blessed me with some. I'm also using the Dominican DCs, but Skala for everything else. Big Lots needs to re-up soon! :rolleyes:

The bl here closed up, i don't know why because they had a lot of great things. I hope they get some soon for you too.
 
The one on my side of town closed about 3 or 4 years ago, but they kept the other one open. I'm probably the last Skala head on LHCF, but I'll be okay if I can't find anymore. I'll cry, but I'll get over it.

Did you call and ask them if they were going to more in? I think you can still buy it online but not at low price.

Coffee stated they were going to start carrying it again in February or March of next year. I can purchase it from Skalabeauty.com or Amazon, but as you stated for a much higher price. I won't even mention how much they are charging on EBAY. :nono:

That is EXACTLY what I plan on doing. I'm sure I'll get some serious side-eye, but I don't care. There should be more for me since Skala is no longer what's hot on the LHCF streets. :lachen:
 
I still havent finished my head, I have 3 braids in, luckily they are camouflaged by the twists. Still havent used anything up yet. I recently bough another bottle of TW PMB..I really like it and I can find it on the ground so thats a plus.

I heard about the HV "sale", that sucks.

I still have some Skala, I havent unpacked a lot of my College stuff so thats where it probably is. I <3 Skala
 
I dried to about 80% under the dryer, then used the GTB on my hair to air dry the rest of the way. I like the GTB, I think I want to try the horsetail butter. I may need to order it.

BTW - I order the sensual amber B&BW type oil from them it smells very similar. I use the B&BW wallflowers and the scent was done. So I pried the top off poured in some oil then put it back on. Worked like a charm.
 
Finally finished my hair, i took it back to 1985 on picture day in the name of 1st grade lmao:lol:, 1 braid on each side of my head all i am missing is the bobble balls and barrettes, i did not feel like doing braids this week. I think i will switch up my ps every few weeks. As long as i keep my hair moisturized and protected it should be alright. I will keep my hair stretched until the middle of the week then bun the rest of the week.

I created two spreadsheets one for the commercial products and one for my ingredients.

The commercial inventory is mainly shampoos and conditioners. I have just added butters/pomades/oils - I have two from Darcy's Botanicals and one from Komaza

The ingredients inventory has all my ingredients listed under the following categories
- Herbs
- Essential Oils
- Butters
- Oils
- Infused Oils
- Waxes
- Clays
- Miscellaneous- here I list items such as ACV, African Black soap, Honey, aloe vera gel etc

For both spreadsheets, I have columns for the months and I update it each month. At the bottom there is a formula calculating the percentage remaining compared to the start of the year. Currently I have more than I had at the start of the year as a few weeks ago I restocked on some staples such as 5kgs of shea butter, sweet almond oil etc.

I am going to buy Bentonite clay next week and I will also need some JBCO soon. I will only be restocking on staples.
