Dollar Store Haul

So lately my pj-ism has been flaring BAD! Everything I see I want to try. Even though my regimen is working well for me I still have a twinkle in my eyes every time I see something new. But there is an even bigger problem than my pj-ism and that's the fact that even tho some people see me as a person who's knowledge of hair and and skin care is extensive; I am still fairly new to this hair and skin care thing. So today I decide to open my cabinets and see what I have that is relevant to the path of hair care I'm taking right now which is natural.... I am shocked and a bit ashamed to say that my collection of what some would call essential tools to my natural journey was seriously lacking.

What could one need in order to take care of their natural hair? some might ask, but what a lot of newbies don't understand is that natural hair is harder to maintain than relaxed. It takes a whole lot of time, products, and knowledge to find out what works for your natural hair. ESPECIALLY if you're trying to eliminate chemically based products from your regimen like I am. So what exactly was I missing? A LOT of things I know I'll need and others that will present themselves later in my natural hair endeavors. If you are a regular reader of my blog then you will know that I am what you would call frugal...So walking through my local drug store's and BSS looking at the prices would discourage some; but for me it was a challenge to find tools of equal quality for more than half the price.

Here are some pics of stuff I got from my local dollar store.... ENJOY!

Spray bottle's .99 each and a wonderful buy. I don't know if it's just me but I don't really like regular spray bottles. I always wanted something different and exclusive looking when it comes to the containers housing my home made concoctions!

From left to right:

• A six pack of shower caps.

Shower caps for DC'ing and treatments.

• A two pack of small spritz bottles

Small spritz bottles for moisturizing on the go.
I figre I can drop one of these in my bag on the way
out to make sure I keep my hair moisturized
through out the day!

• The incredible Hair Twist Towel.

I just decided to give this towel a try since
I've been seeing it on infomercials for YEARS.
It's the dollar store version so I don't expect anything spectacualr.
Just wanted to try this one out before I buy the real thing.

3pack of plastic bowls and two tiny wire whisks. I got these so I wont have to use utensils that are for food to mix up my hair concoctions. Even though so far, everything has been 100% edible I still want to keep things separate.

From Left to right:

• A six pack of black and white thread covered elastic head bands.
• A six pack of multicolored thread covered elastic head bands .

I was inspired to buy these by a wonderful YouTuber that goes by the name of Nunaa. Her vids are amazing and she is a very beautiful soul. Check out her vids here http://www.youtube.com/user/nunaavane

• Top right are a two pack of combs.
• 120 pack of bobby pins .
  
• One pair of chop sticks.
  

• A hand Mirror

This is one of the only items that was over .99. It was $1.29
This is my first hand mirror that I've EVER had. I'm more than sure I'll spend all day looking into it probably picking my
face apart...LOL

This concludes the hair tool Dollar store haul. I hope these great finds will inspire more of you ladies to check out the dollar store. You never know what you'll find. Frankly in these times I'm all for saving while still being able to do the things I want to do. Even tho it's only a few dollars I felt like I bought myself an Armani suit!
