@chebaby Gell-o Che! Okay so, I was lurkin at werk and now you've decided not to stay straight for Winter uh?:look:
Click to expand...
no im not gonna stay straight. i like my hair straight which surprised me because the first few times i flat ironed i didnt like it all that much. but them dominicans done changed my mind. and i was loving it straight so i thought i wanted to keep it that way long term. but the thought of messing my hair up(more than i already have) is just not a good though:nono:
so im back on "operation: get ches hair back" lol.
 
Although I took the braids out anyway I realized that Shea Moisture's curl and style Milk combined with Purabody's Cupuacu Butter gives me insane moisture. I will try it for a wash and go tomorrow.
 
Yeah, it's really Cold here too (and a little snow). But I heard by the end of the week it's suppose to be back to Fiddy.:blush:

I think Imma really try to get into this No-Buy. I had a weak moment yesterday and wanted to tear up that b.a.s.k. Sale, but the Spurrrt left me.:lol:

I really need/want to do this thing to completion. I have so many nice products *cough* and I just hate to have them sitting while I accumulate more.:nono:

Imma start a comprehensive Inventory list and keep a journal on what I used & what day etc....to occupy my mind from wanting to buy more products.:sad:

Like me @Eisani We've already done the "Make-Up" thing and it can be a monster too.

Shoot, Lawd! I did the: Make Up, Household, Perfume, Shoes, Purses, Boots, Jewerly thing. It's all addictive.

So, Imma do this.:look:

@chebaby Gone & Operate Gurl.:grin:
 
Oh Yeah, I think my No-Buy Goal will be to use up 20 New Unopened Products during this 6 month period.:yep:

And of course use up things that are already open.
 
Happy New Years Ladies!

Nothing new on the hair front I have blow dried my hair the last 3x I washed. I know awful...

Going to do an emergencee treatment some time soon.

Hope all is well!
 
I'm going to do a thorough walk-through of my stash tomorrow. Then, I'll be able to see what to put on my next use-up list. I need to get stuff organized. I still have a few unopened boxes. This is gonna be a trip going through all of that. SO is gonna be like :nono:
 
Wow time sure does fly I just realized I'm 2.5 years post relaxer and if I didn't have those setbacks in 2011 I would be dang near BSL. Oh well here's to healthy MBL hair in 2012.

@13StepsAhead I've had more than my share of Set-Backs since starting my HHJ. I hope 2012 is a good hair year for me too.:yep:

@Brownie518 I opened all my unopened boxes. It's just a shame to have a stack of unopened boxes, so I just closed my eyes and opened them.:blush:

This no-buy for me, is right on time. :lol:

Yeah, Imma work on an Inventory list, including back-ups and start journaling stuff too.

I'm still waiting on:

Claudie
Tiiva Naturals
Hairitage Hydrations
*i think that's it*
 
Oh, btw: Used up, 1 HV ACV Rinse. Still didn't hear back from BJ, and I'm not going to contact her so, I'll wait.:perplexed

I have like 5 back ups. And I also have some BFH Shine Rinses to use instead of the HV ACV too.

I also used up 1 Njoi CreationS Herbal Tea Hair Spritz. No back ups of Njoi, but I have:
Black Tea Spritz's from Shi-Naturals and It's Perfectly Natural and I think they are both 16 ounces so they should last a while.
 
divachyk

What did you end up getting from AV? I only got 1 thing (this time) the Blueberry & Pomegrante Silk Spritz. It smells really good too.:lick:

It wasn't spraying out right, so hopefully it was just COLD. Maybe once it gets warmed up, the 'flow' will be better.

I hate when products don't spritz out right.:nono:....:rolleyes:
 
IDareT'sHair

Sample size of
Neem+3 Triphala Conditioner
Priti Bodhi Rice Bran Hair Oil
Miss Bhree Buriti Ultra Hydrating Conditioner

Full size of
Moringa Supreme Ginseng Detangling Spray

The rice bran oil suggests applying then rinsing thoroughly. Must I rinse it out?
 
IDareT'sHair got Ashlii last sale but have not yet tried it. Shoot, I haven't even tried my CJ DC. I've been trying to use up things that were open and half used. My next item to work on is SDH products. After finishing those, I can then start cracking open new items.
 
Umm IDareT'sHair my makeup, candle, nail polish, BBW, purse and shoe addictions are very real and very present. I don't buy as much makeup as I used to, but I still get the itch which I why I only peek every now and then at the MU forum. I said I was going to try to curb all my spending.

That said, I just not too long ago got in from the mall. Bought 3 of the Nicki Minaj polishes- Did It On Em, Save Me and Boom Boom Base, a pair of jeans and a coat :look:.

I think ordering products for the person that wants me to build their regimen will satisfy that itch. I already told her we could start purchasing sample sizes when available and take it from there. I already gave her a list of things to purchase on the ground.

I was just sitting here rubbing my hands through my hair thinking maybe I won't stay straightened :lol:. My hair is bone straight. It's almost scary to be able to feel my scalp and as bad as I wanna wash, I don't want to straighten. I can't make my hair last two weeks like some. I HAVE to wash weekly and that's too much heat for me.

Eisani I wish somebody would let me buy products for them:lol:.....:lick:

Yeah, you are so right. Adddictions are ever present. It only takes one thing to trigger it.:spinning:....:look:

Girl, yeah. I cannot tell you how many Lipsticks I had "once upon a time" It shoulda' been criminal.:lol: And for that reason, I do not visit the MU Forum.:blush:
 
DivaCyck - I've never tried the Rice Bran oil from AV. However, Oyin uses it in some of their products. I think it's a ceramide, so it does not have to be washed out.
 
bronzebomb and Brownie518, thanks re: the oil. I have used ceramides before and never washed them out. I remember folk talking about rice bran being a ceramide so I don't know why it would need to be washed out.
 
divachyk - yeah, I have plain Rice Bran oil (which I love!) and I don't wash it out, either. It makes my hair nice and shiny. The plain as well as the AV one. Here's the ingredient list for the AV joint:

A subtle but fragrant blend of Cucumber, Sage and Lavender essential oils is infused in a blend of Rice Bran, Shea, Jojoba and Sunflower Seed oils. Ayurvedic Botanicals of Ashwagandha Herb, Amla Powder, Bhringaraj Powder, Brahmi Powder, Hibiscus, Neem Leaf Extract; Nettle, Castor Oil, Almond Oil, Mustard Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (organic), Coconut Oil, Neem Oil, Ginger Herb, Jojoba Oil.

And the How to use says:

Can be used as a daily shine solution and a weekly hot oil treatment. Squeeze a small amount of Priti Bodhi Rice Bran oil into the palm of your hand. Rub hands together and massage oil into scalp and hair. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Good evening ladies. Last night I twisted my hair with Dm buttercream am dm Gelly. My twistout was extra defined. I only have one more use of the Gelly and won't be replenishing. Tonight I'm moisturizing with a little Claudie's Isha cream and sleeping in 2 ponytails. Hopefully it still looks good tomoro!
