4. Explain what system you will use to update your list (i.e., different colors/symbols to denote used/purchased items or items added from your current stash):
I always just repost the list without the used up products at the end of each session. Maybe I will start posting with the strike through to show something was used.
5. Outline your criteria for if/when you will use your pass to purchase 3 products/quarter (12 products/year):
I'm only going to repurchase something if there is nothing else in the category I can use. For example, I know I will have to repurchase clarifying shampoo as I'm already half way through the one I have.
Hi, ladies.
Good work for Quarter 1.
I was planning to join for Q2-Q4, but I've decided that instead of using products mainly to get rid of stuff, my hair is at a stage where I need to use products for health and growth.
Another poster mentioned that when she made that change, she stopped using products erratically just so she could use stuff up, and the resultant and consistent highly effective routine and consistent product usage grew her hair out long and healthy.
I've finally found HGs and highly effective staples. I need to use them consistently.
I am cheering the group on as I lurk!
What you say makes a lot of sense Yvette. I think that I would never put on my hair something that has a terrible effect on it, or something meh that will obstruct the use of something else that my hair needs. But I also love to experiment with new products whenever it is safe to do so since I haven't yet found HG products in all the categories, or because I'm searching to achieve an improvement in a certain step of my routine. And I think it is wise to give second chances to some products because of the illusions that we can sometimes experience or because of the confounding effects of trying 2 new things at the same time, etc. Having said so, I think that I'm probably going to follow your wisdom and throw away 2 or 3 products on this upcoming round of experimentation. Or I might look into options to donate...
Hi ladies, I'm about 4 months behind with all of my info!I'm joining for all sessions. I will post all info before 12/31.
