2015 Use Up The Stash Challenge: Session 3

I picked up another sample size of Shea Moisture poo. This time I got the Moisture Retention. I need to see if it can replace CON Argan or not before I go running around trying to search for the CON Argan original formula. Adding it to my list.

I have been using the SM Poo since being natural but I use to love the heck outta CON Green back in the days. I wondering if the Argan Original is comparable to the Old Green?

According to what I've read here, the CON Argan Original was the closest thing to the old CON. Now that they've added undesirable ingredients, CON Argan is no good. I'm still on my last CON Green, so I haven't used the CON Argan Original yet, but I've bought two 20oz bottles.
 
I donated my blue magic grease to my dad. He'll put anything on his hair.

The Shea moisture professional cowash gives me so much build up. I'll be glad when it's gone. There's only a few uses left. Then I can buy the liter of conditioner I actually want: biolage ultra hydradource.

Still working steady on the Miss Jessie's baby buttercreme. I use a small blob to moisturize after every wash. A little goes a long way.
 
Washed but didn't use anything up. I put a dent in the Tresemme Undone tonight using it to detangle. Not sure when I will use it again so it will be a while before I use it up. I twisted my hair up using the MyHoneyChild Type 4 Hair Crème. I probably have one more use of that. I forgot I wanted to use up the NO Hair Balm. I plan to wash again on Sunday so I will try to use it up then. I think I can use up the Type 4 Hair Cream, the NO Balm and the Burnt Sugar Pomade by the end of July.
 
Washed but didn't use up anything :sad:

Used the sample of the hot oil treatment but I probably have 2 more uses of that even being heavy handed. And still have 1 more use of the NO balm. I used a little bit more of the Burnt Sugar Pomade. July should be a good month of reduction.
 
My daughter and I used up a few products in March and April. :biggrin::
SheScentit Tahitian Leave in conditioner
AO GPB conditioner
Claudie's Balancing Daily conditioner
LG Green Magic cream
Shescentit Curl Moist conditioner
Jakeala Amla Shea Parfait
Shescentit Cranberry Cream Hair cocktail

I have one more item on deck to use up by May 14 before getting crochet braids.

Here are a few products that dd and I used up in May and June:
Bel Nouvo CoCo Castor Nectar (will repurchase)
Bel Nouvo Avocado and Shea Healthy Hair Milk (will repurchase)
Jakeala Nappy Hair Butter
APB moisturizing conditioner

I did purchase a jar of SM Purification Masque and Aphogee 2 min reconstructer
last night at Sally's.
 
APB is having a 30% sale for July 4th. I will be buying two jars of Ayuverdic Mud Mask (16 oz). Trying to see if this should be my deep conditioner or will I be sticking with NG.

J. Monique Naturals also has a sale going on with items marked for sale from about 20% to almost 50% off. I know I'm getting body scrubs. I would like to try her deep conditioners, which are a pretty good deal right now, but that would be adding to my stash. :whip: That would mean I haven't learned my lesson yet. However, I haven't even been here a month yet. :supergrin: What to do?:thought:
Of course, this would mean I definitely won't need any deep conditioners until Black Friday sales.
 
For session 2, I want to use up all the samples, 1 shampoo, half the color supplies, 3 leave-ins, and an oil. I'm hoping I can stick to my 6 month no buy (so all 4 months of this session) and overall get my stash down to 60 items.

Halfway through the year and halfway through this session and I'm happy to report I have made good progress on my goals for my stash. I've already used up all except 3 of the samples I had. Already used up 2 leave-ins and currently working on 2 more. I also am about 75% done with the oil I'm working on and started on another one. Not sure if I'll finish my shampoo because one of the samples I have is a shampoo and it's a pretty generous size. I am going to work on the color care supplies for the last session because I have no intentions of coloring my hair any time soon.

I'm thinking of purging some items that I know I don't/won't really use. Even though I'm a long way from my length goals, my regimen is pretty much in maintenance mode. There's a lot of stuff I have that I know I'll never really use up.
 
Washed tonight and did an oil rinse with the oil sample and the tresemme undone. There is a lot of oil in that sample bottle so its not done yet.

Twisted with the NO balm and the oyin burnt sugar pomade. Used up the NO balm. I will replace it in the fall. I really like it.

I will wash again on Monday so may focus on the MHC type 4 hair cream.
