I think that's a good reduction. 30%+

Well thats how I feel. So my start number is about 120, some things I saw I listed 2x, or found after I did a count. My final count is about 120. Yeah I know it's bad. But I BC'd and I wanted to celebrate and insert every excuse.

I will be keeping my hair in kinky twists, so buying anything new will be moot, since I can really get the full effect. So that will help dramatically this session.

Also my stress therapy is buying anything, but I have realized doing that makes the stress worse when I add up what I spent.

I did buy some aveyou vouchers, but will not use those until late October-November, but no later than January.

So yes, I failed this session. Definately did not put forth my best effort. But I will for the upcoming session.

I think finding staples is something to be celebrated. Because sometimes the search for staples is the reason we have so much. So good going.

Well I won't spank you. But let your hair out every now and then and try some products that you have to find your staples. You have plenty to try.

faithVA - thanks. I will be using up my sprays, oils, and light conditioners the fastest. If I leave my hair out, trust me I will buy something, to see how my hair feels. I just started wearing twists in Septmeber, and just finished a new set last nite.

My hair seems to love everything, except for most commercially made products, unless it contains mostly natural ingredients.

 

[wheezy807]

Golden75 Well if i read your post correctly i personally think you did alright. Atleast you didn't end with an alarming amount more than you started with. Disclaimer: I'm not one to knock anyone, things happen, i should know (i was once a pj too and i'm still recking the aweful benifits of an overwhelming amount of products).

Anywho i just wanted to let you ladies know that i am really siked about next round! Your results are inspiring.

 

[Golden75]

wheezy807 - yeah when I did that count I thought it would be a lot worse, but I did use, toss, give away a good amount of things.

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm ready to get started on the good foot next challenge!

It is great to have staples, especially staples that are easy to come by. I am hoping to have my list of staples finalized by the end of the year.

Used up all my biotin. I won't be repurchasing as I don't think it helped my hair much.
