New routine: My two condishes (300ml and 250ml) last me about a month, wish they came in bigger sizes but they're cheap. So that's about $11.50 a month for both. Then my styling products last every two months so that's about $9.50 every two months. So I can range from spending $11.50 to $21 a month. How do I cope????

For the last few months I've basically been bleeding money. I've been buying all kinds of products trying to figure out what my hair wants from me! I'm broke now but I think I finally know what the problem is. So think the amount I spend is gonna level off to about $30 a month.

I know I spend more on my hair than my straight hair friends and sometimes that gets me down...but one good hair day always makes up for that.

like a lot of people said, some months i'll spend over $100 and others none.

i'm the type to buy on a whim and then think "i can't believe i bought that!" then go return it to the store the next day.

i haven't spent a dime on my hair since the beginning of july. i'm trying to use up some of what i have-jason naturals apricot & keratin, joico moisture renewal (finished!), and catwalk tigi oatmeal and honey.

this month i'll probably end up spending around $100 on a litre of aveda be curly conditioner.

Lol sorry for the 50 millionth post but I've worked out that when my one condition comes, It's gonna be about $50 every 6 months (including my gel) so about $8-9 every month if I had to buy it like that. still good

I spend around $20. And the only reason for that is because I share all the products I use with my sister and sometimes other family members. If it wasn't for that, the cost would be close to under $10. I'm still experimenting though.

I spend way less on having curly hair than I was having straight hair since I was thermally reconditioning it and it's SO expensive! I also didn't have much wriggle room to let it go since my roots would be obviously curly pretty quick.

But as far as how much I spend compared to other straight haired people, that just really varies. I know some people who like to dye their hair constantly and it gets expensive. But then I know some people who are lower maintenance. I don't think curly or straight makes such a difference. Straight haired people have their own set of issues that they tend to throw money at to try to fix.

I'd say, I probably spend around $30-$50 a month (more in the beginning when I was just throwing products at my hair which ended up being a FAIL), but it can vary greatly. My hair tends to like more expensive, quality products like CJ and CK and other products that I can't find close to me; the benefit is they last a long time.

oh.hi.its.steph

If I were to only buy the products I NEED, as in, use my current routine and rotation of products without adding anything new... probably $15-$20 or so a month. I would need a bottle of rinse out conditioner probably once a month, so $6 each month. Everything else would alternate. TIGI CF lasts me like 2-3 months but is around $16 itself. My LI is $7, lasts 2ish months and my Aussie spray is $3 and lasts forrrrrrever haha. And lastly my cleansing conditioner lasts 2-3 months and costs $7, and my low-poo lasts probably all year and costs $5. I am cheap, and love drugstore products.

BUT... I'm a product junkie. I like to experiment, and I have a love affair with Ulta/Sally's. Because of this, some months I spend more like $30 or $45. It's not every month, but still!
