I'm telling ya'll right now....you should do the No Buy in 2 months increments like me & @Brownie518. I think you will have more success. I'm sure I won't need to buy anything but I feel less desperate knowing I don't have to wait the full 6 months if I don't have to.

Another natural touched my hair today :spinning:. I let it go bc she is so nice. We hadn't seen each other in a year and she was complimenting my hair. She talked about the progress I've made and how good she thought it looked.

@ the bolded - :yep: That's exactly why I settled on 2 months. That I can handle. I did it last year and it worked out really well. I'm ready for this. :grin:
 
Shay72 Brownie518 I know I need a 6 month break from buying hair products, I mean I have unused/unopened product from over a year ago and Im still buying more.... that just dont spell sense in my book.

its an exercise in restraint ... which I need.

Oh I plan to go the 6 months :yep:. I'm just assessing every 2 months. I'm the type that drinks more water when I just fill up a cup vs. a big ole water bottle. This way works for me.The big picture can be overwhelming for me.
 
Hey, I'm back from cocktails :dizzy:. I'm going to shower and get in bed.

I can see, and agree with both Shay72 and SimJam. I'm in it for 6 months because I could easily go that long and longer without needing new stuff, but the long haul can feel overwhelming when looking at the big picture.

On another note, my Aveyou out of pocket cost was $1.78 :reddancer:
 
Ok wow, I don't know if it's the steamer or I am getting nice with these magnetic rollers but my hair feels great!
 
I'm in it for 6 months. If I use up a staple then I will re-up but I won't be hauling just for the heck of it. It kind of feels freeing not chasing down the next sale. Just because I'm not buying hair prods doesn't mean I'm not buying other things. Um, yeah dh and I purchased a new mattress today. It was long overdue and we caught a sale just right.

Shay72 ahhhhh I see. Its funny u use that analogy, because I lugg around my 62oz water bottle with me alllll the time.

I need the big picture in my face all the time or else I'll get distracted:lachen:
.....and that applies to all aspects of my life :look:

@Seamonster (and other Tea Rinsers)

I was thinking about durn' a Coffee/Tea Rinse Challenge???? Would ya'll join?:grin:
Click to expand...

I would. It's in my ritual, well regimen lol, to do a tea rinse once a month. I would love to try coffee. And we could chat about all of the exotic teas and Ayurvedic teas that we are using. And T you can haul tea during the no buy since you can drink it lol. It would be fabulous!

I actually do think doing my hair is becoming an enjoyable ritual:grin:
My BF always teases me about my "hair trance" he says I have this blissful look on my face when I doing my hair, especially applying DCs and twisting :look:

Re the tea hauling ..... Me likey how u think Beauty :lachen:
 
hey mama t. great challenge idea but i'll have to pass. i haven't even kept up with my steaming. i just made a few changes to my reggie. i have a good balance i want to work with. i ironically just blogged about it earlier today: http://curlypop.blogspot.com/
 
Tea/ coffee challenge sounds fun, I alway like those kind, and I tea rinse every week. Might try coffee.

That steam is amazing, I don't have a steamer, but I put conditioner on before my steamy hot bikram yoga(they have steamers in the room, and my hair is so soft in one week.
 
Eraly morning ladies!

I had a terrible headache yesterday one that whenever you move your head it hurt. My stomach is messed up so i didn't take anything so i slept it off.

I just started a new class so i will be MIA doing homework. I will be posting!
I am in a no buy for at least 2 months, with school keeping me busy i won't have time to think about buying. I will do longer i have enough not to buy major products for 6 months. I haven't wore my hair straight since the breakage but it coming back i might try flexirod Sunday for next week. I'm 3b/c it fibe and styles never ever last i will think that one through.

divachyk, good choice in pibbs and you got discount. IDareT'sHair, i have been thinking about coffee oil, i keep forgetting to get the beans. Tea rinses are a routine for me so another challenge is good, i'm need to list my challenges because i'm in others than hair.
 
I did the CG this morning. Me & ShayShay :love: it :yep:. I do need to use less product :look: and rinse better. Otherwise I think it is a keeper. I will have to see if anything changes over time but right now I'm good. The combo I used this morning was DB's Pumpkin Seed Conditioner and Curly Kinks Coil Jam. Good thing I have my journal or I would never remember that.

I bet the steaming is nice but I'm sure you got skills now! :yep: I'm hatin', too, cuz I would love to get my rollerset game up.
 
IDareT'sHair I haven't made a list either and feel weak thinking about trying to put one together. My strategy will simply be to tackle stuff one box or shelf at a time. That also gives an element of surprise. I'll just make sure I use a staple protein when needed or if there isn't one in a particular box or shelf.
 
I don't know exactly what I will be using up either but I will be using up. IDareT'sHair I will join your Coffee/Tea Rinses challenge. Basically I have to :yep:. The ayurveda stuff still in packaging I can give away but I have some pre mixed stuff that I don't exactly remember the mixes. I know I have a strengthening mix and a moisture mix and that is about it :nono:....:giggle:.
 
Today I received Pura and Saravun. Dh says -- I thought yall stopped buying. :lachen: I told him about our no-buy so he could hold me accountable. Get it babe! He's on top of it. I told him these packages were purchased in Dec but I'm just now receiving shipment.

Any word about that durn Sale?:rolleyes:

I'm glad I don't STANS for QB cause I'd be all messed up by nah.:nono:

Although last night I used some CTDG and it was/is Amazing. :lick: (as always)

I have a tiny corner left. No back-ups.:perplexed

@cch24 Gurl....That's Family!:lol:

Now Chile you know You know that's Yo' Cousin.:yep:

Mama 'nem raised you better than that.:lol:

If you see Cousin Che, you betta' say Hi.:lol:
 
IDareT'sHair girl Im beginning to feel like we are an afterthought.

i realize QB seems to have increased the number of stores they supply, and Im assuming that maybe they are prioritizing product for supplying those stores and ensuring that they have a steady supply.

I figure whenever they get to a point when they're able to sufficently supply retailers and weather the buying frenzy of a sale, then she will have the sale, hopefully.

Its just too sad that I love the products so much, Im not even using the AOHC or the cocotree detangling ghee during the no buy
 
SimJam

At least she's been keeping you Ladies updated in the Vendor/Seller Forum.

I think I have 2 BRBC's and 1 or 2 AOHC's.

After using that Ghee today, makes me want another one, but I know I won't get it.:nono:

Maybe BF I'll restock on some of her stuff.:yep:

I hope whenever she does finally have the Sale, that errbody can get what they want w/o running out of stock.
 
I just went to website and added everything I want to a wishlist. So whenever the sale comes I just add to cart. :giggle:

yes Im a QB stan ... bite me
