A real product junky

We joke about being product junkies, but click on this link and if your product stash looks like this, then you really deserve the title. LOL

A true PJ at her finest ; she could possibly have her own little store with all those products!

And you're right. Everybody looking for something to swap for could find it here, but she probably wouldn't swap because she has everything already. I watch her on youtube sometimes. She is hilarious!

There is a curly on this forum that has a lot of products like that. Her name is Blondie.

I also watch her youtube channel. I use her channel for product reivews. LOL!! She knows her stuff.

Thanks for that Lynnie. I will take a look.

Now that you said swap- I wonder if she purchased all that stuff or if she obtained some through swaps cause I'm way too cheap to pay boocoos of money on products. Some serious hustling would be taking place on my end

Yeah, I love empressri because she doesn't take this hair thing as seriously as some people do. I definitely check out her YT channel when I'm looking for something to buy. That's a nice blog btw.

Empress Ri's YT channel is the bomb. I love to watch her channel and I respect what she says about the products, she will be honest with you. She's so funny too.

I love the length and thickness of her hair and that's what I'm shooting for. I wish I could have a hair stash like that.

You're right. I love her honesty. Sometimes you wonder if some of the ladies are in a paid infomercial. Sometimes I have doubt as to whether they believe what they are saying. She definitely has some beautiful and healthy looking locks.

I'm so curious. IF I had a stash like that I would never leave the bathroom because I would always be doing something to my hair

LOL. I think that's part of my problem, I still rinse my hair everyday just so I can try a product, lol. It takes me forever to go through a jar of something because I'm always trying something new.

It's killing me to wait until Black Friday. I got that PJ itch and I really want some new goodies to try for the winter.

I am impressed with her stash, and her hair! That was a nice interview.

I thought it was just me that liked Empress ri....She knows her stuff, and money for her products dont seem to be an issue,,lol...I live vicariously through her

Yes. She is so down to earth. Really, it is so easy to become a PJ, but I can tell, my PJ days are coming to an end. I am finding my staples now and really, but for a few different oils and the Rhassoul Clay, I believe I will put a hold on much more shopping. I just want to get the Oyin Honey Hemp Condish, other than that, I am good to go!

I feel you on that naturalnola...I feel like my time is fast closing on the pj days I still think I need the ultimate styler..and I cant find it...I love UFD and Kinky Curly but is there better? hmmm think about the donna marie mira curl...then I think I am gonna call it..

I don't think you will be disappointed with DM Miracurl. Really, I see so many people complimenting that product. I sent a call out a while back about UFD Good Hair, but no takers. I was in Sage a couple of wks ago and tried a little. At first it was so sticky, it drove me crazy, but within a few minutes, that disappeared and it gave my hair a sheen that I really liked. It looked good.

I am looking at your hair in your avi, it is so pretty. What styler did you use there?

Natnola...I am sooo sorry I didnt see your post. I have to find a better way to read all posts applicable to me...lol

Unfortunately I answered the other thread and did not see this one.. I have never used the Good hair, but I love to research. I found there were alot of neg reviews on it. Not all bad some good but mostly people found it to be so so. I am a firm believer that if you like something, or more importantly your hair then go for it. So get it if it made your hair have unbelievable sheen. My hair does not have sheen naturally, I have to work hard for that..
The products in my avi are kccc. The whole line. I shingled and voila!!!! I like it, but UFD is more convenient:) They have the same ingredients though. What are your staples?

Jeanlouis, you must be a mind reader because I was going to ask you what products you used in your avi. Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous! My staples for now: KCKT/Kimmaytube leave-in/aloe gel/AO White Camellia Condish/bananas and molasses/Bentonite/Amla/Hibiscus rinse/EVCO/EVOO/Hempseed oil - So, far these are my "in the bank" products. There are others I like, but these my hair loves. I am still trying to love a cleanser. I am trying out some shampoo bars now from Chagrin Valley and I have a once use of Deva no poo to try. I have tons of stuff that I am evaluating now. I try and give the products plenty of opportunity by using them different ways. I will come back at you with updates as I plough through my stash. What are your staples? I guess I am a product junkie too, right?

Why thank you Natnola, I appreciate the compliment. I hear you on the evaluation process. I find myself stuck in that place...still evaluating. Trying to find the go to products for a regimen that has not even been established yet.. I do have products that I find are awesome and I use them regularly, like my Knot Today, and the KCCC, and ofcourse Curly Magic by UFD. I use several conditioners, and several shampoos, and have oils(EVCO, EVOO, Jojoba) that I use with no true consistency, the Coconut I use for my face,as well as for the hair, so I must always have it. I also use it as an ingredient in my shea mix, and to seal sometimes, and to prepoo. I have recently started using the following products: Aloe gel, Qhemets creams, balms, Argan oil, Hairveda's Shikakai Oil, MiraCurl, and the Oyin juices, Honey Hemp Condish, Burnt Sugar Pomade (the last few were my Thanks giving purchases ) PJism is a disease I mean to stamp out...lol..not really..lol

Natnola I am ashamed to say that I know nothing about Deep Conditioning But I would like help in that area. Just never did so when I was permed and definitely not when I was loc'd.

So I wash my hair once a week. I co wash depending on my styles and the products I have used...I use JBCO every three days. Other than that nothing. You see how I lack a routine? I am a mess..lol

What do you do?
