Took advantage of the Ulta sale and grabbed 2 jars of Melanin Haircare Plumping Deep Conditioner. Never tried it before but I think I will like it. With this purchase and one other prior purchase, I am set for the rest of the year and into the new year with these deep conditioners.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Also grabbed two Melanin conditioners and the Melanin shampoo. My scalp loves that shampoo so I have to keep it on deck.

I bought a steam pod

I shop regularly and don't usually post everything I buy. However, I got more than usual because there were a ton of good sales last week for National Hair Day(some very good sales are continuing this week too). When I shop, I stock up during really good sales. Most of this list was 50% off or more. Everything on this list was on sale.

Its a 10 was on sale on both the Ulta and It's A 10 sites for 50% off. The sale on Ulta was 50% off + 10 % Rakuen cash back + a 15 dollar off 50 or more coupon. I used the 50% off 15 off 50 and Rakuten cash back on 2 Ulta orders. After that, I went on the It's a 10 site to buy things I wanted that were not available on Ulta.

I am not finished with the Ulta sale yet . There are still a few more items I plan to check for until their sale is over. I know this is a lot of stuff, BUT I use up my stash without decluttering. When I rack up during good sales, I save more money than if I paid full price and it is more convenient than repurchasing for a higher price because I ran out of something or buying something that isn't great because I am in a pinch. My hair cabinet is full of items I love and can choose from lol. So, I can wait for decent sales when I re-up, or only pay full price on my top favorites. It is extremely rare for me to buy a product that gets wasted.

Way to GROW......

Okay, the Ulta sale officially ended and I am all stocked up. I do want to add the caveat I usually wait until Black Friday to shop like this, but many of these deals were 50% + off so that is likely to beat Black Friday sales.

So here are the deals I got in the past week.
Wella

• Ultimate Repair Hair Rescue Mist
• Ultimate Repair Hair Rescue Conditioner(x2)
• Ultimate Repair Hair Rescue (Shampoo)

I wanted to try this line but I considered it too expensive before the 50% off.

Invisibobble 40-50% off

• Heatless roller(x4)

Frederick Fekkai (50% off)

• Brilliant Gloss Glass Hair Anti-Frizz Serum
• Straight Balm
• Super Strength Protein Power bond Mist
• Super Strength +Ever Bonding Oil

Used to love Fekkai products, but haven't used them for a long time.

It's a 10

• Miracle + Keratin Deep conditioner

I need a replacement protein treatment, that isn't a bond treatment. So got some new ones to test.

Go Sleek 40% off

• 2 silk roller kits

Will check Black Friday and maybe get another size.

Flexi-8's(3: 50 % off ...1: 20% off)

• 4 designs in the mega/XXL size

Joico 50% + off

• K-Pak Intense Hydrator(Fragrance net)
• K-Pack Shampoo & Conditioner duo (Fragrance Net)
• Revitalux Restorative Treatment(eBay, it is discontinued)

Redkin 30 % off

• One United All-in-One treatment

I promise I don't splurge like this regularly, but I rack up like this during huge discounts and a lot of the sales I shopped in October were better deals than what Black Friday will offer. I will peek at great deals between now and the beginning of December to check the items I have been waiting on, but am stocked up on everyday hair products.

[Dare~to~Dream]

Took advantage of the extended one day only Ulta sale for things that I missed the first time around:

2 bottles of Curlsmith Miracle Shield

1 bottle of Bread Beauty Supply Scalp Serum Exfoliating Scalp Treatment

The Bread product is a new one for me but I am so serious about my scalp health so hopefully it works well. The reviews of this product are mostly good.

2 Coppola keratin infusion

I’m trying to get ready to be a straight haired natural

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

1 Bottle of Komaza Care Protein Strengthener

I have been wanting to try this for months but it was always out of stock. I had to go back to using ApHogee 2 Step because I tried other so called protein treatments/protein based conditioners and they just weren't doing it. Hopefully, this Komaza one lives up to the hype and replaces ApHogee. I wanted to get two bottles but settled on one to make sure it works for my hair before I buy more.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

1 Bottle of Komaza Care Protein Strengthener

@Dare~to~Dream
Great Product

IMO: Equally as good (in no particular order)
Annabelle's Perfect Blend Keratin Protein Treatment
Sarenzo's Amla and Bamboo Protein Treatment
Hydratherma Naturals Amino Protein Treatment
SSI Okra Reconstructor

Hydratherma Naturals Amino Protein Treatment
SSI Okra Reconstructor

I have tried the Annabelle product and I liked it but I still needed something more strengthening. The She Scent It Okra Reconstructor was also on my list to try and it was sold out too for a little while. It's back in stock but I decided to wait until Black Friday. However, when I got the notification that the Komaza product was back in stock, I immediately jumped on it lol. It could go out of stock again for another 6 months so I didn't want to miss out. I hope I like it and if I do then I will stock up with a few more bottles.

Don't sleep on Sarenzo and/or Hydratherma Naturals - both are really good as well

I'm returning Almost everything I bought from Marshall’s. The Giovanni products don’t work well in my hair and instead of giving them away like usual. I’m getting my money back
