Trying to decide if I want to purchase anything from these Memorial Day sales. Do I really need more hair stuff?

I am fully enjoying wearing my hair straight for the first time in over a year and all the new growth I have. But I miss my braids and can't wait to have them back, hopefully next week!

I think I'm going right on back to using some old fashioned Blue Magic. I used the Indian Hemp version on soaking wet hair today under my gel...it's JUST what I was looking for in a product!it has been so hard for me to hold moisture especially after I passed MBL...I think my hair is highly porous bc it doesn't hold on to water very long at all
And the longer it gets, the more I have to fight with dryness.
So hair grease it is! But this go around I have a good regimen for it.
girl i revisited my small jar of hair grease this week and had the best hair ever. my hair was so soft and fluffy and the moisture was sealed in well. i always thought it was the enemy but i wash my hair weekly so all that stuff is out and gone in no time.

hair and scalp..
hear me and hear me good...
my hair is still in the tapered cut. please tell me why the sides and back are growing back yet the top and front aren't. you mean to tell me that all of this healthy food bought from local farms and farmer' markets each week end, practically giving up meat. drinking tons of water, scalp massages and you ..the front and top won't grow. i don't have even have enough for braids on the front and top. this needs to stop now. follicles wake up!
since i have been sick this week...my face has lost the tweetie bird effect. thank goodness. i know i need some fullness in my face to look young i will keep it this way and do/add the contour and warmth to my face like i did tonite (only when i am feeling it). yeah that is what i will do.....and add some color to my face. and add hair color.....everyone liked me and Twingurl's hair.

LOL...I got under the dryer yesterday with my dinner and realized I didn't bring a fork to my drying area. I ate with my hands.

I've been on a personal PS challenge since last August, and still... The front started out a good 3-4" longer than the back. Tell me why it's all even now!!! 
Still ps'ing... although, I would also like to ask why it's now 90 damn degrees in NYC?
We went from winter straight to the hottest part of the summer and I got in some WL kinky hair, looking like the black Lady Godiva. And I'm not taking it out neither. On a good note, I finally learned how to do a fishtail braid, been rocking the heck outta that one.

Miss Jessie's Jelly something is the truth.
I am still growing out this damn cut, lordt I'm ready to have my hair back.
I'm tempted to get twist again but hate that I can't wet my hair everyday.

Don't worry be happy
Just wanted to say thanks to all the ladies who share their experiences and discoveries. Still learning things after so many years on this site. Just today I was able to find a good black owned BSS to support that I can order online. I googled so deep and it never came up. So thank you

I need to get motivated to do this crochet braid wig. I have all the excitement in the world while I'm buying necessary supplies for projects. But then I actually get the supplies and lose all motivation. I did one crochet braid on the wig cap and said "Whoo, I'm tired. I need to take a break because this is too much." I never went back to making the wig.

THIS MAN SPILLED MY BEKURA FRUIT BODY GELEE OIL! He is banned from my house for at least a month. This stuff is too expensive to be wasting. My God, I can't believe I gotta ground 40something year old men smh. Whew I am heated. I'm about to email him a link to the website so he can replace my stuff.

What does his age have to do with it? if anything, he can afford to get you more.

I mentioned his age because typically children get grounded, not 40something year olds (banned from my house for at least a month=grounded). Yes, he can and will replace my oil.

Sometimes it's all about the little things:
Cheap Baby wipes have been my bff in the bathroom. Whenever i do my hair, i use the Wipes to pick up hair bits, oils or products that got on the counter or floor. No more wasting my paper towels.
Not sure if i mentioned this already but Washing my hair upside down has been the best thing ever for me. With my hair hanging out of my way, Im able to get my fingers straight into my scalp and i can go to town massaging my poo in.

Upside down? Like bending all the way forward from the waist? I want to reach my scalp better too.

Was supposed to wash my hair to be braided for my crochet install. I just did not have the energy so I took a nap...for 4 hours Probably going to wash now since my mom is going on a date and refuses to braid it until she gets back. I'll be waiting at the door with a comb when she gets home.

I'm off to wash my hair in a few minutes, too, @AbsyBlvd !
Not going to buy too many products for this Memorial Day. I already have so many that I need to finish up and I've also found my staples. Bekura Beauty's sale is tempting but nope, not necessary. I'll wait for her July 4th or Black Friday sale.
That said, I really want to stock up on some KJ Naturals Jamaican Jelly and Hair Milk. My hair LOOOOVVESSS this stuff. Leaves my hair so shiny, soft and supple. I also can't get enough of KJ Naturals beautiful scents.
