August Products

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Hi ladies! I'm not sure that a similar thread as been started, but I thought that it would be a good idea to start a thread focusing on certain products that would be used each month. I wouldn't say this was necessarily a use up the stash type thing (even though it may help) but I find that my stash isn't completely overwhelming if a pick out a few things to consistently use each month.

This is not necessary a challenge (although I am personally challenging myself lol), but it has really helped me not really jump around from product to product. Plus it can give you a chance to see how well a product really works or not. I will go first.

I will be using during the month of August:
As I Am Cleansing Pudding
Annabelle's Perfect Blends Broccoli and Avocado Smoothing Conditioner
Naturale Grow's Irish Moss DC
Soultanicals Knot Sauce
Sarenzo's Creamy Oil
EcoStyler Argan Oil Gel
Sarenzo's Body Frosting
Nature's Gate Pomegrantate and Sunflower DC
Annabelle's Perfect Blends Green Powerhouse Oil
Soultanicals Hair Sorrel Kink Drink

If you run out of your monthly selected product, you may either replace it or pick up something new. But whatever you pick up, should be consistently used during the month. Oh, and how you use your selected products are totally up to you and can be switched up as long as they are still being used during the month.

What say you ladies?

[IDareT'sHair]

Used this up today. Will add Jessicurl Weekly Deep Treatment into the Rotation.

 

[CodeRed]

Lekair Cholesterol (first time using)

Please let us know how this works out. I'm thinking about buying it for me and my daughter's hair

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Ugh I'm hoping I can make this Naturelle Grow Irish Moss DC work. I may use it as a dry DC so I can use it up quicker or a prepoo.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

So I'm using it as a prepoo. I used half the jar so hopefully I'll be done with it in about two weeks.
At this rate, if I also use it during my midweek wash as a prepoo, I'll be done with it sooner. So I will have to add another DC in my stash to use this month.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Alright, the Irish Moss has been tossed. I'm not in the business of setbacks by trying to use something up even though it is horrible on my hair. It sucks as a prepoo too. My hair felt dry as straw. I think it's the fenugreek. I'm not sure but I don't have time.
So I have pulled out the Soultanicals Afrotastic DC to use for the rest of this month.

 

[naturalyogini]

I think this month, I'm going to stick with Aestelance products.
Wash : GL shampoo
Condition: Alternate between Hair Repair Emulsion and Oil Complex
Deep Condition: Alternate between Hair Repair cream and Mud mask
Leave-in: Try Hydrate leave-in.
Styler: Up in the hair on this. May flat iron my hair this month

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Next wash my Cleansing Pudding will be used up so I will pull out my Shea Moisture Curl and Shine Shampoo. I do plan on repurchasing that Cleansing Pudding though, it is the bomb!

All of August i will be using my Matrix Biolage shampoo and conditioner. It's really the best conditioner I've ever used for smoothing and detangling.

I will also use kccc for curl definition and miss Jessie baby buttercreme for moisturizing.

I finished up the baby buttercreme. Going on vacation for a couple days. I'm going to only use conditioner and kccc while I'm there, and shop the stash when I get home.

Good stuff

I'm using:

- VO5 Kiwi Clarifying Conditioner
- Tresemme Perfectly Undone Conditioner
- Coconut cream
- Castor/avocado/sunflower/peppermint/carrot/rosemary/lavender/white thyme/cedarwood oil mix on scalp only
- Shea Moisture Kids Detangler

and I'll be experimenting with:

- Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Conditioner
- Coconut butter
- Shampoo bars
- Using Shea Moisture Yucca and Plantain Anti-Breakage Masque

- Used up the rest of the VO5 . Tresemme will take it's place as the co-wash
- Coconut cream used up. Won't be using it again anytime soon... not really feeling needing to store it
- Not going to do the coconut butter
- Tried shampoo bars... not for me at this time. Didn't make my hair as hard as shampoo but my relaxed hair wasn't having it.
- Will be using Giovanni as a co-wash when Tresemme is done

Going to try Softee's Cholesterol next. If it works out I'll be using it for the rest of the month instead of Shea Moisture Anti-Breakage

Still using:

- Castor/avocado/sunflower/peppermint/carrot/rosemary/lavender/white thyme/cedarwood oil mix on scalp only
- Shea Moisture Kids Detangler

Great thread idea.

My August products:
Pre-Poo: Vatika oil + Dermorganic Daily Hydrating Conditioner
Shampoo: Joico Moisture Recovery
Deep Conditioner: Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment, Komaza Olive Moisture Mask
Rinse-Out Conditioner: Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner, Dermorganic Daily Hydrating Conditioner
Leave-In: Darcy's Botanicals Herbal Spritz, Darcy's Botanicals Lemongrass Transitioning Cream
Sealant: Komaza Califia Moisture Cream, Oil blend with JBCO, avocado oil and coconut oil

Loving the Darcy's Cream. I thought nothing would top the Komaza Califia leave-in I was using June and July, but this knocks it out of my top spot.
Really love the Dermorganic and Vatika for detangling, too.
Might add my Jakaeala Silky Oil in as a sealant since I really like the smell for summer (watermelon) and the Komaza Cream smell-wise would work well for fall .

 

[CodeRed]

Going to try Softee's Cholesterol next. If it works out I'll be using it for the rest of the month instead of Shea Moisture Anti-Breakage

Softee's a no-go. Going back to Shea Moisture.
