2018 Use Up The Stash Challenge

[B_Phlyy]

I finished up a Garnier Grow Strong conditioner. I used it for cowashing. It was nice but not a repurchase

 

[morgandenae]

Used up a VO5 strawberry condition (have no use for conditioners so no repurchase), a KJ Naturals Growth Conditioner (love this, nice and thick and the essential oils are very potent, potential repurchase), and J. Monique Bentonite DC (use to love this but it's just okay for me now, not a repurchase)

 

[morgandenae]

Gave away a Carol's Daughter Monoi Shampoo, Tressemme Naturals Conditioner, 2x Carol's Daughter Hair Milk, and LA Bella Gel to my sister.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished a samples size of Paul Mitchell The Detangler. I love this stuff. I need to get through more of my hoard before I purchase the full size though.

[uofmpanther]

Used up Curl Junkie Daily Fix

 

[trclemons]

I finished off 4 products today:

1. Two - Sasahpure Elixir Oil Samples
2. Honey's Handmade Black Soap, Honey & Avocado CoWash
3. Eden Bodyworks Jojoba Monoi Shampoo Sample.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up CD Hair Milk Refresher Spray and APB Hair Lotion. I would repurchase the hair lotion on a good sale. One more in stash.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up the Annabelle's Perfect Blends Hair and Body Butta. I ended up using it mostly on my body but I loved it. Also finished up one of her leave in sprays.

Target almost got me with some of their new lines but I've stayed focused. My current stash has 25 products and my goal is 13.

 

[xu93texas]

I gave away two products: the last jar I had of CD Rhassoul Clay Softening Mask and a bottle of SSI Pomegranate Pear Moisture Milk to one of my SIL's. I used up a bottle of CD Rhassoul Clay Enriching Conditioner, and I returned two KeraCare products to Sally's because I just didn't need them.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up my last CD Hair Milk Refresher spray will not be a repurchase its like water for my type 4 hair, Aussie Moist conditioner (probably not a repurchase unless I find use for conditioner in the future, and my last J Monique Natural Rhassoul & Bentonite DC (this grew back onto me but still probably not a repurchase, I need larger and cheaper DCs that work)

ETA: also Renpure Coconut Cowash which is also not a repurchase. I really don't like cowashing anyway and this gave minimal slip and moisture.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I didn't use up any products on this week's wash day but I did throw away my Maui Moisture Curl Quench Coconut Oil Curl Smoothie and Obia Naturals Curl Enhancing Cream. Both were about half way full and I haven't used them in over 6 months cause I really didn't like them.

 

[trclemons]

I finished 2 products: Curly Hair Shampoo & HydroQuench Coconut Lime Oil.

 

[uofmpanther]

Finally used up my oyin hair dew liter. I think i actually prefer the smaller bottles.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I haven't been using up anything because my hair is in a protective style. I'm so close to finishing so many things. Hopefully I can move out a lot out in March.

This is where I am too.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up one of my Annabelle's Perfect Blends Leave In Conditioners. I totally feel like I don't have anything in my stash but going to try and hold out a few more weeks.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner and Sarenzo's Hair Frosting. Neither will be a repurchase.

 

[Dayjoy]

I sold my two extra tubes of Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight on the exchange forum and am moving the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair from my stash to DD’s. My hair did NOT like it.

 

[uofmpanther]

I bought two more Eco Styler Gels and two Koils by Nature products. Sigh.

 

[trclemons]

I bought the new line & a new product from HydroQuench:

1. Strawberries & Cream Define Elixir
2. Strawberries & Cream Texture Cream
3. Strawberries & Cream Deep Conditioner
4. Strawberries & Cream Conditioning Cleanser
5. Cocoa Brazilian Coconut Oil

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

My commitment to not using PayPal or Amazon credit for ANY hair purchases is working: My stash is hardly growing at all.

This year, iirc, I think I have only purchased:

• Texture ID Foam from Sally's
• Bronner Brothers Firm Hold Curling Gel (ahmaaaaaazing; HG)
• Bronner Brothers moisturizing cream
• flexirods

 

[B_Phlyy]

I finished up a deluxe size sample of Alterna Caviar Repair Shampoo. I was really nice. I normally don't care about shampoo that much, but I might consider shelling out for this. I'll probably finish up another shampoo and my deep conditioner tonight.

Also, slightly random confession but I'm considering un-cancelling Shea Moisture. The new yogurt line looks like it could really work for me. I probably won't buy it, but it's definitely on my mind.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

If you try the new yogurt line, let me know what you think.

I trashed a jar of sulfur hair balm because I just couldn't deal with the smell anymore. I'm giving the ORS creamy aloe shampoo, DE Formations Finishing Spritz, and Joico Treatment Balm to my sis in ATL when I visit her, and I'm giving my SIL a jar of Shescentit Pomegranate Twisting Butter.

I'm really trying to get down to 10-15 products by the end of the summer.

 

[Dayjoy]

I cleaned out my laundry room and found 2 bottles of Sebastian Brilliant Brown Cellophane and 2 bottles of Clear. I finished off one of the browns on myself and one of the clears on DD. Adding these to the inventory. In a moment of twofold weakness I bought SM Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil Mask. I finished off my last open tube of Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight and a bottle of DE Almond & Avocado shampoo. I reupped on the poo.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up an APB Cocoa & Avocado Refresher Spray. Wont be a repurhase since I've found no use for refresher sprays since making tea mixes.

Hello Everyone,
I’ve used up quite a bit over the last few weeks:
2 jars - curly pudding mix
2 jars - World of Curls Curl Activator (gift to my aunt)
1 jar - Ecostyler gel (gift to my aunt)

I have not purchased anything new since I started this challenge so this is a good sign for me.
