Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

I finished up a few things this week:

Another BV Smoothie
Hydratherma Naturals Oil
8oz mix of JBCO and a bit of Nourish oil
SM Purification Masque
MD Coffee & Kokum (found a jar with a tiny bit left in there)

Next to use up:

MD Peach Syrup DC
CD Tui Shampoo
CD Healthy Hair Butter
Claudie's Renew Protein

No backups on these
 
Gotta move some of my "handmade stuff" to the ridge or a cooler spot so they dont spoil. My room tends to stay pretty cool but just to stay on the same side. Mainly my PBN, Hairveda and a few other things.

I'm thinking about getting some braids (extensions) put it, just to keep it up and away , plus i could get some growth this summer too. I dont do weave or wigs so I'm guessin yarn/box braids.

IDareT'sHair, unlike most of you here i really don't have a regimen that i follow or use products base on season at this time. I'm still in survivor and recovery mode :sad:from last year so i really don't know or have a summer must have.:perplexed
 
My liquid silica shipped yesterday. I guess Vitacost don't tell ya when they gon' ship :perplexed:

I kind of want to stop wearing twists/braids. Getting bored. But I feel if I don't PS til I get to my desired length, I'll never get there. I was APL once :rolleyes: but that was after I stopped wearing weaves/braids, and APL was gone, quick :lol:. Then I was almost APL with weaves every now & then, low manipulation, then one trip to the Domican Sistas end that.

Eh, I'll keep this going, and see how we doing by October.

@IDareT'sHair

1. Oyin Honey Hemp - the only staple that I have identified
2. Hick's Edges - for smoothing my edges (makes my 4B hair look like "good hair" :lachen:)
3. Curl Junkie Aloe Fix - best for bunning my 4B hair
4. Miss Jessie's Buttercrem (Curly or Baby) makes my hair stay soft for more than 1 day!
5. Sta Sof Fro -(although I think I can use any spray to keep my kinky twists hydrated, I prefer this one because it's cheap and i can get it at the local BSS). Carol's Daughter's Black Vanilla Leave-in is second. I've purchased it more than 3 times.

Too bad you are in Jamaica, or I would have invited myself over. I love Jamaican food and think I'm an excellent cook. I typcially follow Chirs @ Caribbean Pot on YouTube and his Blog for tips! http://caribbeanpot.com/ Co-workers think I'm Jamaican when we bring do potluck lunches.

I typically use Blue Mountain Curry for my Curried Goat. What's considered the best curry in Jamaica? I'm still trying to master my oxtails.

I'm debating on my summer styles too! I have product that I have not touched. I need to use them up before I waste my money. If I put my stuff in the fridge, I won't have room for food!

I am a "Protective Styler" with Weave, Braids and Wigs. However, lately I feel that my hair has stopped growing. Hopefully this summer I'm able to use up some products and try a few more things. Maybe my hair is sick of being "Protected". I've considered keeping it in cornrows (under a wigh) and cowashing every day to see if water is key. But like you, I'm getting bored with my hair.

Maybe I'll do a 30-day Challenge in June:

30 Natural Hair Styles w/o Protective Styling​
 
IDareT'sHair yes maaam here I iz

My summer (all the time) must haves --- 'cause its summer all dayum year in Jamaica lol

bronzebomb - I feel if I can snatch back a decent bun, I am not ready to tackle this hair! But if my hair is a good length at the end of June, I may try and experiment with more styles.

I was going to try wigs, but I still feel like I am dealing with my hair, in making sure I got that sucka on right so it don't fly off!:lol: I also hope to use things up, in the coming months. Thats why I want to switch to braids. Just feel they are more secure and I won't have to redo so often.

Happy Birthday Brownie518

I'm trying to quit BASK but it ain't gonna happen. The consistency of their scrubs is :love:. I will just add them to my list of vendors that I will tolerate a little bit of foolishnes from bc of the quality of their products (ie, HV, Qhem).
 
Hi ladies!
nothing new as usual, i did pickup last week tigi blonde nonsulfate shampoo, no new vendors, i need to refrig the oils/butters too.
IDareT'sHair, i read your must have for summer i still don't know even after reading others. i guess i'm doing the same boring thing:lachen:
 
IDareT'sHair My must haves for summer are

1 DB's moisturizing spritz ( claudie's tea seems like it might also do well )
2 CJ's smoothing lotion or SSI's coco cream LI
3 HV's Avasoya (MD's argan may also work)
4 *DB's coco bean cream ( replaced oyin's dew for me since my boys took that over)
5 CR's aloe hair gel or CJ's pattern pusha
 
curlyhersheygirl - Just want to say thanks for posting the consistency issue with DB Smoothing Cream, I would've never known since this was my first time trying, and she did replace it.

Also DB moisturizing spritz, I must've missed it, or may be figured I have some to use up, put uh, I'll be trying that one too :giggle:
 
Happy Birthday to Ya!! Brownie518 (think Stevie's song)

Just took out my twists to see if they will start to swell a bit. Going bowling with a bunch of smart, good-looking people tonight as a fundraiser for NSBE (national society of black engineers).

Twists felt good, nice and soft and shiny. I left my cap off last night and tho the outside of the twists felt a lil dry they were great when I took them out.
 
chello ladies:wave:
so i know its time to wash my hair because its not even soft with the cr butter i put in it last night.
tomorrow imma lightly shampoo and then condition with AO GPB. then imma do a wash and go with ether giovanni direct or kckt.
 
Thank you, ladies!!! I'm having a great day so far! Just got in so I can recharge and head back out later. :grin:

My Hairveda, Shi Naturals, and It's Perfectly Natural came today. That IPN Pumpkin Honey Butter...:sweet:
