2021 Use Up Your Stash

[uofmpanther]

I bought an extra Oyin Hair Dew liter and Oyin Co-wash liter on Black Friday because there are more heads of hair in my house now.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Q4 Stash Update
I used up 6 products, will be giving away 1 and bought 12 (9 excluding duplicates). I might join the next thread for a Q1 update but a part from that, I'll be migrating to the Use 1 Buy 1 thread.

Most of the things I didn't finish this quarter will be finished next quarter so kept most of those in Blue. I think after that my stash will be all my staples. I also think I don't need refreshers for my hair anymore so after my As I Am JBCO Water is done, I won't be buying anymore.

I have like 1 product that's dredging along, but once it's finished, I'll post my monthly and yearly empties.

Also, full confession. I always purchase myself a Christmas gift on Christmas Eve and I might get some free hair samples in there.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up my Redken All Soft Conditioner, I think that my be the last product I finish up this year.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

For 4th quarter I purchased 16 and used/gave away/threw away 10. Didn't half my stash like my original goal but my stash now like 95% staples / repurchases and several of my purchases this quarter where backup of staples so I'll consider that progress.

I think I"ll join the first couple of quarters next year to hold myself accountable because I don't need anything for several months.

[uofmpanther]

I didn't make it to under 30, especially because I went a little crazy with DCs at the end, but I did make a big dent and I know almost all of the staples for me and my kids. I'm hoping 2022 is the year I finally get to 29 (for the entire house).

There are some products that came in and got used right away so this list is not exhaustive.

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 will do the same strike through update at the end of the quarter. I have so much coming in some times I don't have time to update each new product. I try to be thorough with the end of the month use up though.

Product types used up

Shampoo - 11
Co Wash Conditioner - 8
Deep Conditioner - 3
Protein Conditioner - 1
Leave In - 3
Oil - 3
Styler - 2
Color Care - 1

Total: 32

5. By the end of the challenge, what is the total number of products you hope to have in your stash.

I'm going to shoot for the moon and say 30 products. I have too much and a bunch of it is stuff I could take or leave. Some stuff will be multi tasked to finish it up. I also have a few products that are already more than half used that I need to just power through to get to the end.

Did achieve my goal of finishing over 30 products, but I brought in so much I'm sure my stash still expanded.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Total Use Up for 2021

Shampoo - 25
Co Wash Conditioner - 21
Deep Conditioner - 16
Protein Conditioner - 2
Leave In - 12
Oil - 6
Styler - 8
Color Care - 7

Total: 97

The main reason my numbers are so high is because I used up a lot of samples. This is also why my stash never goes down. I focus on the samples while the full sizes just pile up. Next year, I am giving away all my samples as soon as they come in. I know I won't finish as much but at least I will have some room.
