2015 Use Up The Stash Challenge: Session 3

[CodeRed]

Adding 2 Softee (Herbal Gro and Indian Hemp) greases. Been thinking about going back to greasing... not sure how I'm going to use it though. Definitely only on the scalp. They were only a dollar each at Dollar General (I got the 3 oz ones).

 

[JazzyOleBabe]

Finished Kyra's Moisturizing Cream.

APB has a 30% off sale. I ordered two 8 oz. jars of the Ayuverdic Mud Mask in Honey Dew Melon and Hot Kiss. So at least I'm sticking with my 30% off or more. Editing my initial post to add the new products.

 

[CodeRed]

Adding 2 more Softee greases (Hair Food and Argan Oil). I wanted to try all of the ones with a lot of good stuff for a period of time to see how they do.

 

[Dayjoy]

Used up Clairol Root Touch Up color in black and brown, and V05 Passionfruit Smoothie con.

I'm going to need a cowashing conditioner. I have a matching salon s shampoo and conditioner duo for wash day, but it's expensive.

Suave Natural (gotta check out the available scents) is my go-to.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I'm tossing my last Bellezza Mask. These actually turned out to be no Bueno for my hair.

Nothing use this weekend as I had a salon appointment.

 

[faithVA]

Used up the small jar of MHC and moving the large jar to my staples list. Used up the hot oil treatment. Still working on the Burnt Sugar Pomade. May focus on one of the gels next.

Gave my mom the rest of my APB leave in. She really likes it. A jar of my SM superfruit marque went rancid I think. Consistency and smell was off. Pitched it. My other jar is perfectly fine. For whatever reason I wasn't mad. Lol. Guess I'm just glad a jar is gone.

 

[krissyhair]

My stash is itty bitty lol.

It includes 9 products:
Shampoo
Conditioner
3 leave ins
2 gels
heat protectant
Oil
And a free sample that doesn't count!

Found an email I sent to myself last month about what products I wanted to try:

J. Monique Naturals deep conditioners as possibly an alternative to NG moisture deep conditioners.
SM Yucca & Baobob Anti-Breakage Masque for protein deep conditioner to possibly replace NG Intense Deep Conditioner.
Aussie Moist 3 Minute Miracle Moist conditioner for use after henna and indigo to replace NG Cleansing Conditioner. If I remember to add moisture deep conditioner to my henna mix after the color releases, I don't use much conditioner to rinse it out.

The Aussie Moist 3 Minute and SM Masque I could find just down the street much cheaper. J. Monique deep conditioner prices are about the same as NG, but J. Monique seems to have more sales. I'm also trying to see if APB Ayurvedic Mud Mask will replace the NG moisture deep conditioners since she has so many more sales.

 

[CodeRed]

Adding Hollywood Beauty Carrot Crème (2oz) and Hollywood Beauty Sulfur (1oz). Still experimenting with scalp crèmes/greases.

Kind of I bought another sample yesterday of Palmers Olive Oil Grow Therapy. If I don't stop I'll soon have a collection of little jars of grease to replace all the conditioners I'm trying to use up

 

[uofmpanther]

Used up my Garnier Fruitis Sleek and Shine Conditioner, and I returned 2 other Conditioners, so I only have 2 left.

 

[ImanAdero]

Hair in cornrows currently.

So I'm using APB Ayurvedic Pomade for my scalp and using my KKKT on my braids/twists.

 

[faithVA]

I had a $25 coupon for Vitamin Shoppe so I bought a bottle of emu oil. Not adding it to my stash though because oils are just part of my staples. I only add oils to my stash if I have too many of them or if I don't care for them. I will use the emu oil after I finish up with my current oil blend. I was looking at a growth oil online yesterday but when I looked at the ingredients I figured I could make it myself.

 

[randi415]

Finished SSI amazon pomade (discontinued)
SM Purification Masque (staple), I have 3 or 4 left
APB hair and body butta sample (staple), love this stuff I have a couple full size

I have not purchased anything since May 8th.

Congrats!!

That was so me until I rediscovered grease

 

[CodeRed]

Used up 1 VO5 conditioner today. Daughter is helping me through this stash

 

[krissyhair]

I used up my free sample last night. It was interesting. I might consider buying it one day (one very long far away distant day).

I only have full size products now.

 

[faithVA]

I washed last night but didn't use up anything. I think I'm going to focus on the Camille Rose Aloe Whip next and perhaps one of the gels. I will try to use up one of my samples by the end of the month as well.

 

[Lanea87]

When you do let us know. I've used slippery elm powder and stopped because it was so fine and got stuck in my hair... I used a lot though. I'd like to know how the others go.

Ok. I will look to find some good ways to use them.

 

[Lanea87]

So, uh...are you using up the stash?

This was my thought exactly. I was like if CodeRed buy one more dang on grease we gonna fight LOL

 

[Lanea87]

SM Anti-Breakage Masque is scratched off my list. I used it today to DC with. I mixed the remainder up into my DC jar and trashed the finished jar of the masque.

 

[krissyhair]

Bought a conditioner to cowash with. Suave Naturals daily clarifying conditioner. Stash is up to 10 now.

 

[Lanea87]

CodeRed check this out.

I know. I've been so, so bad If I keep using them the way I'm using them now then the small jars I have will last me until next year. This thread is keeping me on track so I won't buy anymore
