New Year No Buy Challenge-October 2024

[Prettymetty]

I didn't purchase anything in February. This weekend, I'll probably be putting in some Marley twists so I won't need to purchase anything for March either.

I’m looking like Celie this week, cuz my stylist went out of town. I have an appointment this Saturday thank goodness.

 

[Napp]

I ended up buying some durags but I don’t need anything else.

I’m bout to block that IGK company on Facebook. Everyday I see a new ad for a fabulous product that I can’t live without. It’s too much! First it was the reconstructing finishing spray, then a split ends serum. Now it’s a damn in shower shine treatment called “Expensive”. I don’t know if I can afford that line lol

You got this!!

Y’all I overslept and missed my hair appointment so I could be on time for work. Rodeo Houston was overhyped. Idk if I want to work the next couple weekends. I have to see the lineup.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Yeah....I guess I got it in, in February Thanks @Prettymetty

If I can successfully get through March, I may be back up in here in April.

I have slowed waaaaayyyy down, but would like to break the PJ'ism habit once and for all and this thread might help me get to those Goals. Plus, I've been doing house-stuff.

And since I went back to relaxing, I have been using the same ol' same ol' every wash day and I have a way to many other products to try to get through.

Still doing good on the no-buy but now I need some more headbands smh

Do you self relax? I know relaxing would be easier for me, but it can also be damaging if not applied properly. It’s a hard decision I need to make.

No, I'm going to the Salon for my T/Up's. Currently, this is the only time I go.

I tried and failed to self relax with my ex husband. It was awful. He moved so slow. My hair was over processed and under processed at the same time. :/

The preparing before self relaxing is a game changer

I used my pass to get a bottle of vo5 strawberries and cream to cowash with this evening. I’m currently doing a ricewater prepoo. My scalp feels amazing.

I am tempted to buy the new Nutree hair Botox for Afro hair. I just want to do my edges

I’m hooked on botox. It’s more gentle than keratin with similar results. Every day is a good hair day these days. I love it. I’ll get another botox when I get my season bonus in May.

 

[Prettymetty]

Hey everyone. I had a great day. I didn’t spend any money. Wig was super cute. I get my hair trimmed this weekend. I’m so excited. These uneven ends gotta go.

I hate that I love the look of my Botox’d hair. Seriously tempted to go back.

I thought you were still botoxing…

Hi Everyone!

Day 10 - still no Hair Related Purchases

I have so much stuff it's ridiculous. I need to focus on all this stuff for the remainder of 2023.

That’s awesome! This challenge is not easy. It gets better each day though. I’ve used one pass since January.

My bday is in June, so I may overspend on my hair for pics. I’m sure I’ll win it back at my bday party though. This Golden Girl is going to Golden Nugget. #coins

I haven’t used it in a year come June. I was growing out my natural but I’m just not in love with the way it looks

I still get them professionally done, but it’s pricy. I can only afford it every few months.

I do them at home so I have control over my curl pattern. I think I am going to do an amino acid treatment first before I go back to the botox

I can’t join this thread until I have full access to my stash

I got my trim. Too bad I had to work the rodeo tonight and sweated out my roots already.

In storage. I plan on moving in at the end of the week
