I bought my staple products:

KKKT leave-in Conditioner - I was using another leave-in conditioner as a substitute (which always worked fine) for my hair when I ran out of KKKT and for some reason my hair stopped responding to it; it became so hard, dry and terribly frizzy; as soon as I got the KKKT back, it was like magic!!! my hair is soft and curly again...thank goodness!!

Suave Almond& Shea Butter $1.87 ( cheapie for quick co-wash)
African Shea Butter 100%-$4.99
Castor Oil- $5.99
(2) Giovanni Direct Leave-in (on sale @ WF) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] $5.99
Giovanni SAS Protein (also on sale @ WF) $5.99
Giovanni 50/50 condish $8.99
Kinky Curly Custard $29.99 (too much [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] )
Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave in $12.99 ( had to get to use with KCC)
Trader Joe's EVOO $6.99

Ayurvedic Needs
Vatika Oil $5.99
Dulhan Henna $ 1.99 (used today)

Hesh Brahmi Powder $2.99
Hesh Neem Powder $2.99

Internet Orders
Afroveda Shea Amla Whipped Butter $18.50
Afroveda Twisted Ginger Almond Butter $ 12.50

Approximately $136.00 spent in 1month. I don't feel too bad because my products will last for more than 2months. If I was still going for my bi-monthly appointments to the salon, I would probably be spending more with nothing to show for but dry, damaged, over heat processed hair. I think it's well worth it, and my hair will definitely love me for it.

by CurlsGalore 31st July 2010, 7:31 pm

I just stocked up on:
4 Giovanni SAS condishes ($4.99 each)
2 Giovanni TTT shampoo (4.99 each)
2 Dulhan Henna ($1.99)
2 Jamila Henna ($1.99)
Bobby pins
Spray bottle
1 lb of unrefined shea butter

I should not have to buy anything else for another 3-4 months.

It would be easier for me to list what I didn't buy this month!

by ... 1st August 2010, 12:30 am

Heritage brand castor oil: To use in my Kimmaytube leave-in mix and in my whipped shea butter mixes.

More unrefined shea butter: To whip/use as a moisturizer and replace the bad batch I got earlier in the month.

Nature's Gate Jojoba Revitalizing conditioner: Returned the NG Aloe conditioner and bought this one instead.

Trader Joe's Nourish Spa conditioner: An old (and cheap) faithful that I'll be returning to regularly after my other, more expensive conditioners run out.

DevaCurl One Condition: Bought from a swap board just to test out.

Whole Foods brand whole leaf aloe vera juice: To use in my Kimmaytube leave-in mix and maybe (alone) as a daily spritz.

Kinky Curly Come Clean shampoo: Got in a swap, but dumped it before I actually used it because I'm returning to a completely shampoo-free routine.

Okay, I think it's safe to say that, at this point, I am a certified PJ, which I'm completely fine with because I justify it with the fact that I'm very good at managing my money and what I buy normally isn't over-expensive. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
