2015 Use Up The Stash Challenge: Session 3

[oneastrocurlie]

Ok so... I fell off the wagon a little bit today.

I went looking for a leave in spray (VO5 to be exact) because I just really feel like my hair will be better for it, even though co-washing seems to be enough. Needless to say I didn't find what I was looking for but bought another one (a discontinued Tresseme leave in until I find what I'm looking for) and 8 other VO5 conditioners because they were ones that are discontinued I believe. Anyway, I found one of my conditioners is actually a shampoo so now I have 3 shampoos and 43 VO5 conditioners lol. I updated the above list to reflect these changes.

The good things are that:

1. I'm almost done with a product (Yes to Carrots Pampering Conditioner)

2. I'm going to be cowashing more because my I'm going to be participating in workouts with my daughter's track team. I cowash every time I sweat so I'll be cowashing 5 days a week starting next week (I run 3 days a week already). This will use up conditioners at least for the next 4.5 months. It'll be interesting to see how my hair responds to that...

I'm trying people

*backs up wagon, puts CodeRed on, keeps going*

Lol.

Y'all didn't even notice that I went out and bought two products the very instant I finished two up did you?

We're both back on the wagon. Next time you need another VO5, tell yourself you're trying to get to your Jackie Robinson number, lol 42.

I didn't notice... I try not to read the "What Did You Buy" thread too much because I'll find something else to buy . Now I want to watch that movie.

Thank you for the support

 

[uofmpanther]

My first thought:
Wow, I love how her list is alphabetized.

Then:
OMG, TWO posts long?

Last:
I'm glad she posted this. I feel A LOT better about my stuff.

I wonder how long it's going to take me to use 20 bottles... I'll probably be able to go through 3 - 4 a month if I'm cowashing 5 days a week like I plan on doing... We'll see. I'll be happy if I make it there by summer but sad cause they're gone. I like VO5 just that much.

All of this

 

[oneastrocurlie]

I sold my camille rose curlmaker and one of my bottles of hair dew. I normally wouldn't sell a staple like the Dew but I have several moisturizers to use up.

 

[Dayjoy]

Finished up my ORS Creamy Aloe poo.

Also adding my Homemade End All Hair Balm to my use-it-up short list.

 

[Dayjoy]

I don't think I can make any real progress with my rinse out conditioners until I learn how to do wash and go's which will have me cowashing often. Maybe this summer...

 

[Dayjoy]

I have reached goal for shampoos and protein conditioners (one product plus any specialty type, for poo it's a regular moisturizing and a clarifying, for protein it's one and an emergency heavy protein). Feels really good.

 

[cutiebe2]

I am already doing this but my list is only about 5 products. Y'all have me beat.

 

[nmartin20]

Ok. Ok...I used up B.A.S.K Yam Nectar and Cacao bark conditioner tonight(yes!!) I think I have 2of each left in my stash.(old label). I should finish up this week DB PSCMC, Obia Curl Enhancing Custard, Hairveda's Almond Glaze this week or next week.

I should be finished with APB's Lemon Pound Cake Creamy Pudding and Ayurvedic the next couple weeks. Currently I'm using them as
stylers, as refreshers, and after washing my hair(weekly wash).

I am hoping to crack open Naturelle Grow, Camille Rose, and Pura Body conditioners during this month and next month.

I have way too many products. I'm very pleased that I have maintained self control since Black Friday. It is truly a struggle! Stay strong everyone!!!

 

[CodeRed]

So... I was in Kroger today and had to purchase something to get cash back...without thinking I picked 1 VO5 Clarifying Conditioner. It was either that or candy as an impulse purchase and I'm going to eat my way to diabetes if I don't stop lol.

However...

I used up my Yes To Carrots Pampering Conditioner and am giving the Tresemme leave in spray I bought to my daughter.

Bought 1 got rid of 2.

And... since I'm going to be using the clarifying VO5 conditioners as shampoo now, I'll be going through those quicker also.

We'll see how this goes.

[ImanAdero]

I'm late! I need to post my stash, but since I've accumulated stuff since the end of last year (sigh), I need to update my list.

The good thing is though, since I'm helping my mom take down her locs, I imagine we will be using more shampoo and conditioner in the near future since I'll probably be helping her with her hair. AND we're using a buttload of conditioner to take her hair down.

 

[Beany]

Used up Bear Fruit shea mango tea mask

[CodeRed]

Finished the rest of 1 Eva NYC Hair Mask today

 

[krissyhair]

I opened up my miss Jessie's baby buttercreme to smooth the edges on my straightened hair. As long as I don't use too much, only put it on the edges and nape, and wait a few days between applications it keeps my straight hair frizz free and non greasy.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

I bought a pomade from APB. I also got a sample of Beja Flor's Creme Brulee in my January Onyx Box.

I'm in marleys for two more weeks probably so nothing will get finished but I'm using oyin juices and berries and apb hair tonic daily.

ETA: I sold my PBN Chocolate Hair Smoothie
