Re: What did you buy in August?

by NaturalTina 11th August 2010, 12:16 am

I bought weave for my micro braids lol so that should curb my PJism for a month or so since I won't be able to experiment with my hair Sad

by Renny 11th August 2010, 5:58 am

Here's my list:

Ecostyler EVOO gel
Pantene Shampoo (naturals and permed hair)
ORS Replinishing DC (the bottle) - I finally moved off the paks [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Grapeseed Oil
Tea Tree Oil
TW Kinky Wavy Style and Shine (from her children's line) - This is the bizness!!!

Lots of hair accessories

So far only coconut oil.. still want to order some things online but I'll update my list when it's time

by jazzynatural 12th August 2010, 2:03 am

I went to Target today and I purchased HEHH, and YTC shampoo and conditioner( in the sample sizes since I have been dying to try them because of all the great reviews from all of you). I am still waiting on the KCKT to get to my target so I can try it also. It's only been 6 mths since my BC so I am still in the trial and error phase and the PJism is on fire still.

VO5 Kiwi Lime Clarifying conditioner: Starting to co-wash again; this is my "cleanser," and since it's very cleansing, I may use it as my "clarifier" instead.

VO5 Champagne Kiss Moisturizing conditioner: Will be my main "cleanser," since it's more gentle than the Kiwi Lime.

Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut conditioner: Will be my moisturizing, rinse-out conditioner I use after I co-wash.

Trader Joe's Nourish Spa conditioner: An old faithful I may use as my rinse-out conditioner in case the Suave Coconut doesn't work.

DevaCurl One Condition: Got on a swap board, used half, and swapped. Nothing special about it.

Raw/unrefined shea butter: Got some in a swap; used to style my twists.

Oyin Grand Poo Bar: Got in the same swap as the shea butter.

Vegetable Glycerin: Was going to use in my various mixes, but since my hair doesn't seem to like humectants (especially glycerin), I probably won't be using it.

Silk amino acids: Got it free on a swap board and will be using it in my mixes.

Giovanni Smooth as Silk conditioner: Swapped the DevaCurl OneC for this; may use as either my leave-in or a moisturizing co-wash.

I'm desperately trying to cut down on my stash and simplify my routine, so once I use up what I have I will not be repurchasing the vegetable glycerin, Oyin Grand Poo Bar, silk amino acids or DevaCurl OneC. Also, I'm not sure if I'll keep both of the VO5 conditioners or choose between the two, but I will choose between the Suave Coconut and TJ Nourish Spa and use just one as my rinse-out conditioner. Shea butter is already a staple styler for me, but I may or may not repurchase the Giovanni SAS (depending on the results I get).

by LadyMika 14th August 2010, 4:20 pm

Let's see...

--Kinky Curly Knot Today (Staple.)
--Aloe vera gel (Another staple.)
--Tea tree oil (Yep, another staple.)
--Sweet almond oil
--Giovanni 50:50 Hydrate/Balance Conditioner
--Giovanni Smooth As Silk Conditioner (my DC) (Lastly, another staple. That's all I really buy/restock. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] )
--Plastic caps (for DCs)<---- These I got a pretty good bargain. Ricky's NYC sells them 30 in the pack for $3.99, so I got TWO packs. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yep, so that's it. I got what I need.

No, I don't think it's oily. It's thick. Thicker than it looks in the bottle. When I spray it on my hair it instantly relaxes my kinks. I've read some people add water to it to loosen it up, but I never felt I needed to do that. I do however like thicker products.

Try it!
