It's raining here too! I'm done with products just need to find the right henna.

@bolded- This is me too!! I need a new supplier since I can't find it here local.

 

[Pompous Blue]

I've been wondering where's Shay72. I miss her "Hits and Misses" thread. I don't think we had one for November or December.

 

[Ltown]

Ayunatural is out of Karshma and I like the red so I'm keep looking to Vonnie. I like the tangle teezer I just rinse out wdt conditioner and did use any detangle spray it was a breeze. I have use up shescenti leave in won't repurchase, and I'll pass on the honey dew unless I go to the store.

I am here! Just making dinner. About to make the kids some chocolate chip cookies as soon as my butter thaws out.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used Up:

1 Njoi Healthy Hair Butta' *back up*

Next week will use --a combo of MT & Hydratherma Growth Lotion.

 

[Priss Pot]

I really need to dwindle down my product stash. Thinking about posting stuff on the exchange forum. Since I'm only washing once a week now, I'm not using up products as fast like when I was co-washing on the regular.

 

[La Colocha]

Hey ladies, just stirred from a nap like always lmao. I think being outside wore me out, dh stayed out way longer than i did and he isn't well either. Priss im thinking of getting rid of a few things also. Every time i get something new that i love i don't want to use the old stuff. Dang pjitis.

I can do that!

That sounds like a good combination.

I woke up this afternoon to pouring rain, which ended up turning to sleet. Thank goodness, by the time I had to come in to work, it had warmed up and was just drizzling. All the ice is gone.

Pompous, I was looking for the Hits/Miss thread, too! I forgot that it was Shay who started that!!

 

[Brownie518]

So, what are everyone's hair goals for next year??? Hair goals and stash goals...

 

[Ltown]

So, what are everyone's hair goals for next year??? Hair goals and stash goals...

Jan 2011 will be 1 year natural for me, retention and hopefully APL is my goal, longer if I can! I don't like having such a large stash where I have products all over the place. It's been very $$$ this year buying/trying products and really nothing is blowing me away because as long as I have BTMS, pantenol, silks in my products I can get them locally. It's been exciting but really too much especially when you get to giving away stuff.

When I got caught up with skala I had so much it was crazy and it really did nothing special. I gave so much hair stuff too folks and family that I realize I can save that $$ on clothes, or save it. I definately got to plan to reduce the stash and like other's said not open several products.

 

[Priss Pot]

I'm about 2.5 inches from comfortably claiming BSL, so I'm hoping to get there by my May 2011 graduation. If I don't have a setback, I'm pretty confident that I'll make it considering my growth pattern. By December of 2011, I plan on being MBL.

As far as stash goals, I'm gonna try to NOT have so many products. I have to come to the realization that there will be a lot of products out there that work on my hair, but that doesn't mean I have to have them all....it's okay to just stick to the necessary essentials.

 

[Brownie518]

For my hair, I'm just going to continue maintaining. I just want it to stay nice and healthy. Keep my ends right, too. My problems areas (temple, nape) I will continue to baby to avoid a setback.
I cut about 6 inches off this past spring and I think I'll have to do the same next year. It was just too long for me and it was too hot to have that mess touching my skin. I felt like a new woman when I got it cut!! Next year, I think I'll only cut to just above APL instead of SL.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My Goals look Are: To keep using up the products in my current stash, and to grow this Winter w/o any setbacks.

Not Wig-It Summer 2011. Maybe Phony-Pony (as a PS).

Hopefully, master the technique of properly self-relaxing. Keeping a good regimen and proper balance of Moisture/Protein.

 

[La Colocha]

For my hair i would like to be past bsl and heading twards mbl. It will be my 3rd year natural and i want to make mbl or wl at least by my 4th or 5th year. I will use my products up and not buy new ones until they are about out. I will rotate a few brands so i won't get bored. Stock up when sales occur to save money on shipping. Stick with only a few vendors and no new products or vendors next year. Stay consistant and wear protective styles and also in the summer where my hair out a bit more and enjoy it.

 

[Charz]

So, what are everyone's hair goals for next year??? Hair goals and stash goals...

I'm full APL right now and I am 7 inches from WL. I wanna be full MBL in the back by December 2011.

I don't believe in claiming if only a bit of my hair reaches the goal, otherwise I prolly could claim BSL. And BSL is so convoluted that I am gonna bypass that all together.

I only wanna have:

Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose Conditioner
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Shampoo
Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-in Conditioner
Kinky Curly Curling Custard
Kinky Curly Come Clean
Redken Extreme Chemistry Shot
Redken Soft Chemistry Shot
Redken Chemistry System 3.5 pHix pHase
Dudley DRC-28
Qhemet Amla and Olive Heavy Cream
Qhemet Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee
Qhemet Burdock Root Butter Cream
Qhemet Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee
HV Moist 24/7

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I can do that! That sounds like a good combination.

Thanks P.Blue for starting the Hits/Misses for 2011 (or until Shay returns).

Someone else may hafta' start the 2011 Co-Wash Challenge too.

Halee_J will do the Deep Conditioning Challenge and will start that one in about a week.

Oh, Yeah, Looking forward to the MT/Hydra Combo. Brownie sent me a Sample of the Hydratherma Lotion to try.

So, I will use that with MT for the next week or so.

 

[SimJam]

So, what are everyone's hair goals for next year??? Hair goals and stash goals...

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm kinda' likin' this Acai Butter as a Skin Moisturizer.

That's all it's good for IMO. Too Hard & Grainy.

For me, that was a total waste of $ (for haircare) unless mixing it with plenty of oil to soften it up.

Oh Well. Trial & Error.

Hopefully, the Antioxidants will work wonders on my skin during the Winter Months.

 

[chebaby]

T, did they recommended for hair on the site?

 

[chebaby]

oh and henna. cant forget the henna tratments. im sure ill still be doing those next year.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

T, did they recommended for hair on the site?

I don't remember?

I just know that Njoi has that wonderful Coconut Acai Pomade that is to die for.

I thought this Butter would be alot smoother than it was/is. Instead of hard & grainy. I'll use it up tho'.

I had ordered some body creams (that I really wanted) from HSN and sent them all back because Imma hafta' use this instead. Not one of my smartest purchases.

If/When I Spend Money, I want it to be worth my while.
If I were into 'mixing' it would probably work great mixed with something.

 

[chebaby]

i dont think i will do too much online shopping next year. unless the local store doesnt have anything in stock but for the most part i can get almost everything local. even my henna.

I'll only purchase on-line during Sales (which I pretty much do anyways now). If there is something I really want/need.....I may ask you to pick it up for me.
