Not Allowed in Beauty Supply Stores!

see Wisdom..STOP I am trying to ignore Nikki's butters n bars! hahahahaaaaa

I am th esame way, no matter what I go in the store for initially, I always find myself in the hair aisles. Since becoming natural, I have become obsessive-compulsive with my hair, but I LOVE IT!!!!!

Ladies! I had a relapse lol. I was doing so well! Hadn't bought any new products for a while... until I went to CVS today! I was just going in to get some VO5 because I only have one bottle left... I was going to buy 2 new bottles when out of the corner of my eye I saw it... a blue bottle winking at me. Herbal Essences Hello Hydration. I've heard so many swear by it and I was like, it has a cone, don't do it! But I did... I put back the VO5 though cause really i don't need 4 bottles of conditioner, lol. I couldn't resist the orchid coconut milk scent either. Why?! Why?! lol.

And to make it worse TJMaxx will sometimes carry all the name brand stuff at cheaper prices. I got Korres condish (all natural Greek condish from Bath and Body normally $12) for $2 and Giovanni products were $4. I am not only a product junkie but a bargain hunter.

*covering eyes and ears* I didn't hear her say that having 4 bottles of VO5 conditioner wasn't necessary since I have 5 in the cabinet and 1 in the shower and will buy more if it goes on sale...

*peeking behind hand covering eyes*

The beauty supply store is my main source of hair accessories... Headbands, flowers, bobby pins., they always have tons of varieties... I alway pick up something....and because the one closest to my house requires that you spend $5 to use your card (I'm straight out of low-cash), I end up buying multiples and extra condish....It'll never stop

I posted this on another thread...what hubby built for my products!

Nope we don't have Wegmans. But please know if I had VO5 condition for 49 cents there wouldn't be any left in the store.

I wish I had seen this before I installed 3 shelves! LOL

@blondie - I'm so happy to see that you have more products on your shelves then I do on mine! That means I can buy a few more things! YAY! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have a four tier shelf thing in my closet for my products but of course running out of space but I like your method Darkchocolate, i think i might try that. I'm happy my product habit isn't as bad as my clothes,shoes and hats habit I've been running out of space for them, but it's getting pretty close lol
i'm thinking about building some shelves on my room wall to put more products and hats on.

I'm in the same boat as you are beautywithcurls.
Erica5417 is the one that introduced the shoe organizer.

Please, please PLEASE tell me that there is a cure for this!!! ANYONE?! Oh my goodness I am a product junkie to the 16th power! And the sad part is that I only BC'd about a month ago and I already have a ridiculous amount of products. I've fallen in LOVE with Whole Foods, Fairway market or any store that sells natural or organic hair products...and if I go in, chances are I'm walking past the food and going straight to the hair care section! I NEED HELP! LOL. As soon as I find something new, this is how I feel ---> ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.])Seriously, there has to be a point where I stop searching for new stuff and just stick with the products that already I have- right? *SIGH* I don't even have that much hair to be buying all these products! (don't get me wrong, I LOVE my TWA. lol) Like I always tell my Bff (who is also a natural head), "they have places for people like us, its called SA...SHOPAHOLICS ANONYMOUS!!!" [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I've been reading these posts for a while and I have to say... I do not know y'all, but I already luv ya!

My PJism is out of control, considering that I am currently in college... but I'm not complaining about it (lol I have a job for the sole purpose of buying groceries, school supplies, and hair products). And Lord, let me not walk into a Target, Wal Mart, Walgreens, Whole Foods, or Ulta on grocery day because I will make a way to fit some new conditioner into my budget!

Erica5417: That's an excellent idea!!! I have one of those and had no use for it in my dorm... until today [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

BTW, has anyone tried got2b defiant shine and style pomade? It gives me amazing waves from my widow's peak to my headband without being too heavy or crunchy. I'm tempted to say it moisturized my hair too!
