black BSS's near by
...Sure, there's a Sallys a city over but It's sadly lacking in the Black hair products (mostly non specified-read- non black, or supplies) and never gets any of the newer brands or just released items I'm drooling to try...I get stuck with the same ol thing over and over
Forget the other BS'stores! miniscule/ if any Black hair products ....Well, lucky for me and unlucky for my wallet
, hubby works in Oakland which has a way better selection of BSS's and every blue moon I will meet him for lunch. I can't help it if after lunch I happen to drive by a "to drool for" BSS!
Case in point, today! Being product starved does not pay off when ya finally get to a major carrier because my wallet took a major hit to the tune of nearly $60 bucks! (Hubby when he finds out
) Did I need most of this stuff? No...But I've been either itching to try it or shopped with my eyeballs and here's what I got.

A huge tub of S-curl gel...can't find it out here where I live. Of course we have S-curl but only the tubes or tiny tubs. I got the jumbo tub!


Profectiv neutralizing mouse shampoo...always wanted to use a neut. shampoo after my touchups just in case.

EQP mango butter. always wanted to try it.

Palmers success fade cream gonna try it on my dark splotches, came with free palmers soap

Profective knock off-Strong & Healthy Healing anti-dryness root remedy. Not soft and creamy like root health but feels interesting. Has a nice light peperminty fruity smell. Ingredients:Soybean oil, Hydrogenated coconut oil, microcrystalline wax, peppermint oil, clove oil,rosemary oil,phenyl trimethicone, piper nigrum, lanolin oil, D&C green #6, corn oil, BHA, BHT, propylparaben, fragrance.

Creme of nature's design-moisturizing creme hairdress with carrot and vit. E. Creamy, nice slip feel. Might try it as a nighttime moisturizing treatment. Ingredients:water,isopropyl mystrate, sorbitol,isopropyl palmitate,cetearyl alcohol, behentrimonium methosulfate, hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, propylene glycol, soybean oil,coconut oil,shea butter fruit,cocoa seed butter,jojoba seed oil,hydrolized keratin,carrot root extract,vit. E, cholesterol,panthenol,tetrasodium EDTA,apocynum cannabium root extract,nettle extract,rosemary leaf extract, arctium lappa root extract,beyula alba extract,rosa canina fruit extract,carrageenan extract,coltsfoot extract,wild cherry bark extract,dandelion extract,sambucus nigra,equisetum hiemale extract,echinacea pupurea extract,fragrance,methylparaben,ethylparaben,propylparaben,butylparaben,isobutylparaben,phenoxyetanol,orange 4

Grandma's secret recipe "will-gro" braid & extension sheen & moisturizing scalp spray. got this because I'm still looking for something light, resembling "dew" that I can just spritz or use before combing. I was going to get Sta-sof-fro but saw this instead. Ingredients: herbal complex, glycerin, proplyene glycol,rosemary, sage,wheat germ,aloe vera, lavender, nettle, indian hemp, vit. E-tocopheryl acetate, jojoba oil, olive oil, castor oil, safflower oil, sweet almond oil, methylparaben, propylparaben, diazolidinyl urea, (is that a fancy word for pee?
), essential oils, sulfer. (it was the ingredients that sold me!) It's very light, not heavy at all. I got two bottles just in case I liked it too much, lol!

Cond. caps 30 pack

pins and clips

cotton paisly print kerchief. yeah, I know its cotton but it was in a beautiful dark red (not the normal red)which is my fav. color and I figure I can wear it out occasionally or OVER my boring silk scarf or something!

Tell me what you think of my haul or if you've already tried any of the products. I know everyone's tried mango butter but me!

I've used the Grandma's Recipe stuff you bought.....sorry to tell you, it was nothing to write home about....plus I broke out after using it, so it went to the "don't use no mo" basket..I guess my mom used it...

Jainy, I wanted so badly to grab the other varieties but I had to be content with the one con moisturizer. Con has a lot of different products out now. I was very surprised!
davine, I AM going to get it! LOL! ok, so actually, he will get IT so I won't get IT! get it?

blackhair, I'm still staring and sniffing! I have them on the arm of my easy easychair so I can stare at them as I check my email!

Thanks for the heads up oglorious1. I already spritzed with it earlier and so far I like it for the light slip. I might end up adding it to my dist. water spritz because I have a habit of not leaving well enough alone with products
Did you break out on your forehead or actual scalp?

Fun Story!

"It's like hair product porn ..."
I go to havanabeautysupply.com for Hair Porn. I click on all the products I'd love to try for fun and save them in a special folder under Favourites. I haven't done this in awhile. Uhmmm, not true. I just did this at metro beauty's website last week.

I too don't feel good about the money, but I feel good about the products. I'm a smelling fool. I love smelling my haircare products. I have a Jojoba conditioner that I keep smelling. It smells yummy
