Re-upped on a few things I was completely out of:
Shower filters
16oz KCCC x2
Swansons Bamboo Extract x2
2lb Aztec Healing Clay

I haven't bought stuff in a minute, but wanted to try some new things:

- Luster's No Drip Curl Activator (discovered this by random...my hair loves loves glycerin and I have been using this as a spritz before using Wetline and my oils/butters for my winter wash-n-go, which really is a night before wash-n-go for tomorrow lol. Not trying to go out there with wet hair.

This S-Curl keeps my frizz away and is very moisturizingrom so I bought the larger size on Amazon.

- Rene Furterer Karité Intense Nourishing Mask For Very Dry And Damaged Hair

- Phyto Phytokeratine Extreme Hair Mask

My hair idol Tracee Ellis Ross and Amoy Pitters from Amoy Pitters Couture raves about Karite so I thought I would give it a try.

As for the Phyto, I am still looking for that guru protein treatment....this one has sapote in it, which is an oil that is one of the most penetrating behind camellia kissi oil, and my hair loves sapote oil when I can find it. I got both of these for discounted prices on a UK website (roughly $33 each). I was not trying to spend $60 for 6.7 ounces lol.

- Etae Caramel Condish (hot diggity damn, this stuff melts my strands with each and every use, leaving shiny, lightweight bouncy curls). I mix it with my other conditoners.

Day 6, 7, and 8 and I am still doing great with no new hair purchases.

 

[KinkyRN]

View attachment 386401 Sarenzo - 9 bars of soaps. These are huge, over 5 oz each. They were on sale for $ 3.00. Regular price is $ 5.75. I prefer body wash over bars of soap but that's not a problem. I turn them into body wash.

I am really late responding. But how do you turn bar soap into body wash? TIA

I thought it was a no/low buy challenge too though. I only took advantage of the low buy part of the challenge

How does this compare to YAM (I believe that it was you who loves YAM as much as I d0) ?

@rileypak and @Saludable84 Have ya'll tried it yet?

@shawnyblazes How does it compare to the Soultanicals caramel?

@flyygirlll2 is it still just 'ok' for you?

I really want to try this product, but I am trying to get an idea of if it is worth the splurge. Thanks ladies!

 

[flyygirlll2]

@AgeinATL I haven't used it since September when I straightened my hair. I'd have to use it agian to give a final verdict; but yes I think it's ok, not something I "have to have."

ETA- I've only used it alone. Maybe next time I'll use it mixed with something else like YAM.

Girl. Etae is 1000 better than soultanicals. Not even on the same level.

 

[AgeinATL]

@flyygirlll2 thanks for your feedback!! Please update us once you try it that way.

@shawnyblazes - Dang it SB!!! I guess I'll look out for the next sale...if I can last that long. Thanks!

CVS


I picked up Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Knot Free forever leave in detangler for baby J.

 

[Saludable84]

@AgeinATL a few others have said they used it like you would YAM or SHHT, so I plan on trying it like that this weekend.

[Curls&Justice417]

I got 2 oz sample sizes of Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla leave in and the Almond hair milk

 

[AgeinATL]

Sigh....
Etae Caramel treatment
Honey's Handmade Honey and Kokum DC. I know, I know... I know ya'll said she wasn't one of ya'lls favorite vendors, but for $7.oo and free shipping, I decided that I didn't have much to lose.

See now, THIS is the problem when you have found your staples and you've been 'clean' for a while. I had a relapse and NEEDED to buy something. I'm done for now...

I didn't purchase anything hair related but on Monday i convinced my mom she needed a stand up dryer so she ordered an LCL dryer. It was delivered today. Yesssss! She doesn't really need it, but I need to use it when I visit her.

Dare I say I found it better than the YAM if only for more ease of application. The consistency is not as thick as YAM so it melts into my hair more quickly, which lowers my ability to be heavy-handed from scooping up YAM versus pouring it out with Caramel. It has a thicker consistency than Jakeala's original honey hair thang condish.

My hair came out more shiny with Caramel, but conditioned and moisturized similar to YAM. I think Caramel is the culprit behind all those Etae promo videos and photos.

I won't give up YAM though, but will be replacing Jakeala with Caramel.

LOL, let me try it a few more times, but if it's saving me money and can last me longer it is certainly better to me, lol.

If your hair loves honey, it's a must try!
