I lost my lists (yes, a separate list for every place I keep hair products) and was not in the mood to start all over. Found the list this morning and realized some stuff had been left off. Here's my official start.
1. I would like to determine once and for all what works and what doesn't work. This will allow me to make better purchase decisions and hopefully save space and money.
2. Products in bold will be considered staples at this time.

3. I have used up, given away and thrown out a few things since I first took photos. Now I have to figure out how to post photos. When I do, I will update the thread.
4. I have the space and I have the money to continue adding to my stash, but have decided not to. My goal is to use up, repurpose, give away or throw out things that are not my favorites. Session 2 goals are: use ayuverdic powders at least 1 time weekly; use moisture spray at least 3 times weekly; use NJoy essential oil at least 3 times weekly; try Shea Moisture shampoos for washing wigs; figure out what Ion Curl Solutions Multibenefit CC Cream is and why I got it. End game: Only making purchases at 30% off or more. New products only one at a time and no more than one each quarter, if that frequent.
