Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

My Vatika Frosting from Hairveda has shipped.

Brands I am taking into 2018:
APB
Jakeala (soap)
SSI
Hattache (I know it is not a brand but I will be getting all my stylers from Her)
Mane Choice

I will probably add Kindred Butters but I will need protein DCs from now on. My fine strands need protein over moisture.

Next year is definitely all about saving for me and less hair hauling. I have some things I am trying to do.

Next Year Imma focus on using up a lot of and incorporating SB & Ayurveda.

And less on Purchasing.:look:
Less is a good step. I definitely need to use up some stuff for sure before I can think about purchasing.
I did good this year being that the only new companies purchased from were Mane Choice and Mielle, but those were both OTG.
My primary focus for next year is protein. Protein, protein, protein.
I did purchase two SSI Restore and Repair hair masks to put in rotation. I am also going to get some APB Bamboo Masks (those were great) and use up my current DCs by adding some Colorful Neutral Protein filler and sunflower oil.

Why have you upped your Protein Game?

Don't leave out HV's Methi-Set and a few others in your Line up. Sarenzo's Quinoa and also Hydratherma's Amino Protein, CJ's Repair Me, Okra Winfrey etc....

I know you don't want 'new' vendors so....What Protein DC'ers does TMC have?:giggle:
I have fine strands that thrive on consistent, protein. Not protein treatments here or there, but consistent protein. Shoot, hair is protein, it makes sense lol...
I will not be trying anything new, I will be using what I know has worked in the past. SSI Restore and Repair mask (which used to be the Fortifying Hair Mask) worked well in the past and APB Bamboo and Algae mask has worked well in the past.

The only thing I will consistently use from MC is the Ancient Egyptian Gel and Curl Boasting Sherbet. Her stylers are good. Her DCs are good, but they do not pack enough protein punch for me.

SSI Okra was just okay, I have used it in the past but it didn't wow me.
My hair needs hydrolized proteins, not strength from henna, ayurvedic powders, etc. The proteins need to penetrate my strand's hair cortex to strengthen them, not coat the outside.

I also need something cost effective that I can use weekly. CJ would not be it. Sarenzo's hair products, mainly her DCs, are terrible. Like I said, I am not wasting any money. Been in the game long enough to know what works.
