You can do it. I have a couple mousses I need to go through too.

@HealthyHair2020
Imma seriously focus on it this year.

 

[Aggie]

I bought 5 jars of Mielle Organics Pomegranate Coil Styling Custard during the BF sale. That is pretty much all I bought for BF. I did also purchase 6 large jars of Pro Gel Max Styling Gel from the DR. I really love this gel. It leaves my hair very soft and curls nice and plump.

Excellent Strategy

I may have to keep a detailed list like this

You know I have so many blank journals up in here because of my stationery/planner addiction. So it’s easy to just jot it down in one.

They have some really beautiful ones too!

I'm glad that's not my jam, cause I just know I would overdo it.....

@HealthyHair2020
Agreed. These are nice.

I had several CS issues - and therefore only purchased from them once!

Oh noooo. So sorry to hear that. Had that issue with Chocolate Kinks and Curls and it was so bad, I've never repurchased from them.

I hate when poor CS practices leave a bad taste in my mouth, because no matter how much I may love the product, I never really enjoy it

I probably should have been in here eons ago.

I finished 17 products this year but I've brought in about 25. Mostly samples, but still, I need to start moving more stuff out.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@B_Phlyy
Great Job

 

[B_Phlyy]

Pretty sure my shampoo and leave-in will be finished with today or tomorrow's wash day. Haven't purchased any new items for a couple of weeks.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished 5 items in April but brought in 7.

@Shay72 @B_Phlyy
Great Job to Both of You!

I am still working through my Crazy Stash

 

[CoiledOrchids]

finished:
NG Indian clay dc
ORS replenishing pak (2)
kaleidoscope x da brat braid spray
suave strawberry conditioner

bought:
jamaican mango and lime braid spray $6
V05 strawberry and cream conditioner $1

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished up a spray leave- in today. I of course have like 10 others so I'm going to rotate one in. Plus the one I finished wasn't good so no need to replace it.

 

[Shay72]

Bought the Bask and Lather Starter Kit. Goal is to use exclusively for 3 months then start pulling my other products back in December. Here’s hoping I can be that consistent. I be getting bored…..Also that means the rest of my stash is at a standstill for 3 months. I won’t buy any Qhemet during the 3 months but will most likely buy Sarenzo based on what collection she is selling. Only need clay wash and dc. I have enough leave ins and moisture mists to last for awhile. I’ll keep y’all updated.

 

[CoiledOrchids]

bought EVOO for $6 at family dollar. I still have my castor oil so I wanna use that up first.

that's my last hair priduct purchase of 2025

2026 I'm going back to my simple regimen and I want to try two strand twists

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

@Shay72 Have you used bask and lather products before ?

 

[Shay72]

@Shay72 Have you used bask and lather products before ?

No this will be my first time. They arrived today. They’re having a big 40% off sale right now so I’m considering buying more even though I don’t know how they work yet. You know that type of discount is rare these days.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Okay. Thanks for the heads up about the sale. I picked up the moisture and seal bundle. @Shay72

You’re welcome! I did go back and got the wash day bundle which includes a DC but bought an extra DC too. The starter kit didn’t come with a DC so I went looking for one. Like I said I want to use the line exclusively for 3 months. Can’t do it without a DC. I’m set. I’ll start on Monday.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I just picked up Olaplex newest deep conditioners to add to my routine. I was rotating Olaplex deep conditioner mask in the bottle, the 4n1 and Bond bar hydration mask. @Shay72
