I've actually never tried it :eek:
I think it's one of the ones I skipped because of citrus or some other ingredients...

@rileypak
Must be something else? Don't think it's "Citrus"? If it is, for some reason, it has never bothered me.

This is probably the only thing, other than Avocado & Pomegranate that I always kept in my Stash.

THIS!!!
Warn folks so we can rationing our supplies accordingly or looking for a replacement :fistshake:

@rileypak IKR? That really burns my biscuits.:angry2:

Like I said, I do consider Fortifying a "staple" even if I have 50-11 other ones that might do what it do.

It's still a product I've always kept in my stash.:angry2:

Fortifying Hair Masque & Banana Brulee I consider to be the Flagship of the "brand" of their DC'ers.

@Golden75
I do still have x1 unopened jar of the Fortifying Hair Mask. :drool:

Yes, now that one I did buy more than Banana Brulee and would 'hate' to see/or find out, that it has been discontinued or replaced.:angry2: I consider the Fortifying a 'staple'.

I've been out of Okra Winfrey for some time.

However, I do have Peach Sugar, Seyani, Cranberry Cocktail, Fortifying, Avocado in my SSI stash though.:drunk:

I haven't tried hardly any of her newer products.

@IDareT'sHair I cannot even list all the SSI stuff I have. It easier to state what I don't! I do want that Sugar Peach, Green Tea l.i based on @Beamodel review.... um let me see... I think I have everything else. :drunk: May be missing a couple other new prods. I always wanted to try her poo, may be next sale.

I will say SSI stuff has never spoiled on me, and I have had stuff open for over a year, and it still performed as if it was brand spanking new. The fortifying is over 2 years old, been open for about a year. And was bomb today.

I know why I skipped it.
I have plenty of balancing and protein DCs that I already love. I didn't realize but even my moisturizing DC stash has gotten even larger than I thought...
 
@Golden75

I always wanted to try the Coriander & Fig (but never got around to it).

I ran completely out of the Pomegranate (I always got the 16oz) and then that got discontinued.:angry2:

I put off buying the smaller bottle(s) she was offering and now it's gone completely.:censored:

She is doing #teamtoomuch. She needs to let her Customers know when stuff like this will be discontinued. :burnup:

I Agree. I've never had her products go bad on me (regardless of how long I've had them).:yep:

@rileypak
This is really easy to do. I have to watch myself with Protein DC'ers or I'll over buy those. So, I know exactly what you talmbout.:yep:
 
@IDareT'sHair I was thinking about going to look for the coriander & fig, but I just don't feel like digging around for it. I should though.

I think I have a Pomegranate in the fridge. I got it right before she discontinued. She def dropped several items I like. Even her body stuff I liked. But when I went to purchase, nowhere in sight.

I think she lists the discontinued stuff in the Goodbuy's, but she should send an email. Is the price of banana too high or something? Why discontinue the good stuff???

@rileypak @Saludable84
Should we say August 31 - September 5th (midnight)?

I am open for suggestions.

We will break again during Halloween for a few days.
Click to expand...

I'm going to be honest, I'm sad but I've been doing better. I'm not really tempted unless it's something I need or been looking for. So I'm just hauling. Winter is "staples only" season.

I definitely think a break is well deserved and I will agree to any break.
 
@Golden75
She said she has been unable to get a certain 'ingredient' in the Banana Brulee and rather than totally Reformulate it, she has left it on discontinued status.

Not sure about the other stuff, but I think she ought to let folks know when she will be phasing out stuff.

I may still be able to pick up the Fortifying someplace else. But I will be upset if she decided to discontinue it.

I'm not happy about what happened to the Pomegranate Curl Quench either.

OT: I wanted to try the Coriander & Fig in the Fall. I heard the Kiwi Kiss is really good too?

@Saludable84
I think we've all been doing really good and thinking about our purchases instead of just 'random buying'.

So, I am proud of everybody for the small strides we have made in such a short time.:grouphug:

PJ-ism is real and it is a very, very difficult habit to break.:nono:

If we keep this up, we might end up being BF & M-Day Haulers.:up:

I'd love to get to the point to save up $500.00 (or whatever $ amount) for both BF & M-Day and do my Hair Haulin' twice a year.

Sure sounds good to me :yep:
 
@IDareT'sHair
I purchased the DC No Poo Decadence and SM LP leave in. Normally I would have went ham for no reason, but I tried to only succumb to what I need. This month made a big difference for me.

MIL told DH I have a problem :look: but don't nobody complain about my hair. DH said I've gotten better with the buying, but I informed him I hadn't bought anything in roughly 2 years.

The no buy has taught me my true needs.

:look:....:eek: Gurl...Did She?:lol:

Good He noticed. Yeah, this thang is real, it's very hard to break.

I agree it is super easy to go skrait Green Eggs and HAM.:lol:

Yeah, it's good to keep focused. My thing is 'new vendors'.:look:

I always say I'm going to limit the amount of "new folks"/"new lines" I buy from. Usually no more than x2 a year.

I think this year my new ones were: TMN and NurCreations?
 
I finally finished my last bottle of Bekura Honey latte Hair Milk and 1 bottle of Bekura Apple & Sorghum. They may be repurchases but I have to use my NG and ABP stuff first to decide that.

So far, NG Hibiscus and Honey leave-in is winning some really high points with me at the moment. I haven't even started using my NG Plantain Leave-in as yet and I feel I will REALLY like that one. We'll see though.

Hauling twice a year. Might be very hard but it's feasible, even for me. It will help me to save for those times we will be hauling. I will only re-buy staples I'm totally out of outside of these time frames.

@Aggie
Yeah, I know the Creator (LaColocha) *miss her* of this Thread, was trying to get us to move towards that - Saving up to Haul twice a year, but none of us was ready for that back then.

We were haulin' our tails off and there was no reigning us in back then.:lachen:

Now I see where she was going with that concept.:eek:

And....You would probably qualify for "Free Shipping" too doing it that way.

We had said we were all going to try to save $1,000 for BF and of course, we didn't make it happen because we were all too busy buyin' up errrthang.:drunk:

Mine were Jakeala and NurCreations, which is why I'm hesitatant to try Siamese Twist. I want to be done with them first.

@Saludable84
Siamese Twists got me through last Fall/Winter. They were a life-saver. :love:

Her Sales were really good last year too. This year....not so much?:ohwell:

And I know Imma try those Ms. Tiara Dean Butters (or whatever they're called) when she starts shipping again for Fall.

Lemme find that link so I can remember.

@Saludable84 Yeah I've been watching that WNG thread too :look:.

I just finally just finished mouisturising and sealing my hair after like 2 hours :rolleyes::rolleyes:. I had soooo many ssk's and tangles, I ended up cutting some knots out:mad:. Lesson learned. I will NOT be banding my hair again when it's wet all willy nilly. I used some QB Moringa, AOHC, and sealed with Bekura Java Bean Balm. My hair feels normal again thank God.
 
@flyygirlll2
Remember when I was really struggling with SSK's & Tangles? It was a living night mare.:eek:

That's when I started twisting things up. I was allowing my hair to dry free form and it was creating all kinds of knots.

I still get the tangles from time to time (from poor detangling), but I really decreased the amount of SSKs I was getting my keeping the twists heavily moisturized and sealed. By doing this, when I unravel them, the SSKs aren't nearly as bad.
