PJ's CHALLENGE: Just USE IT UP!!!

[nelli711]

So far, I've finished up a little tube of the Aveda DR Intensive Treatment and Phytorhum shampoo

 

[Artemis]

Bump!

I think I'm going to add an extra wash day this week so I can get rid of some DC

I'm on vacation this week so I'm bored and want to clear out my space.

ETA: I just finished up (finally!) my regular bottles of Joico Moisture Recovery (S & C), and my Doo Gro Deep Penetrating Conditioner Sitting under the dryer now

I have liters of the Joico I can use now, but I think I want to use up my Garnier stuff first...

 

[HoneyDew]

Ladies I got rid of a couple of things today.

My beloved conditioner - Loreal Vive Smooth Intense, although my hair loves it, has been making my scalp itch for some reason. My honey uses this conditioner so I gave my last two bottles to him - YEAH!

He told me that he would rather start using Herbal Essences Conditioner that he tried when his daughter left it at his house. So today we traded those 2 for 2 bottles of HE None of Your Frizzness conditioners at the grocery store - anything to get them off my hand.

Idea - trade stuff in for something better!! (even without a receipt!)

Also - I am not sure if I posted this or not, but I threw out a liter and one smaller bottle of Mane N Tail conditioner. My hair started rejecting that.

Edited to add:

Oh I almost forgot!!

I sold 2 big tubs of Motions Moisture Plus on ebay!

It stopped working for me.

Damn! I should have bought those tubs from you!

 

[HoneyDew]

Damn! I should have bought those tubs from you!

I should have posted them here. I was not thinking. I pretty much gave them away. I really only charged enough to cover shipping and the paypal fee. Sorry ladies.

 

[Artemis]

Don't forget that I started the Swap Meet thread so those of you who want to just give stuff away or swap for, ahem, backups go check out the thead

 

[Brownie518]

I am trying this again. I gave my mother some SE Luxury Moisturizing con and Motions After Shampoo con. I just finished Aveda DR Intensive Treatment (and will be repurchasing) and V05 Tea Therapy w/chamomille. I have come up with some stuff that I will definitely be keeping in my stash so now I have a better idea of what I want to get rid of. I am good for saying "Oh, well, maybe I'll try that again some day," knowing good and well that I won't.
I am going to toss out my Suave MnH (gasp!! I know), Proclaim Natural 7 Oil with Olive oil (it's good but I have too many other oils I prefer), and my 10 ounce Humectress I got at Marshall's for 5 bucks (hate to waste such a bargain). Baby steps...

 

[BrownBetty]

I did finish the 4lb of affirm relaxer, replaced it with Mizani.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

Finished a bottle of VO5 Free Me Fresia with my CO Wash, I have one bottle left, and then I can start the White Rain conditioners.

 

[Tee]

I finished a bottle of V05 and a small bottle of Humectress.

Where is the trade thread? I think i missed it.

 

[taraglam2]

I returned a NEXXUS leave-in conditioner and a NEXXUS shampoo yesterday plus two more random conditioners that I did not need. I do not know why I purchased those NEXXUS products---such a pj ! I already know what works for my hair so I need to stop "trying out products".

I am getting ready to go to Wal-Mart and return 3 more random conditioners that I truly do not need and are not part of my STAPLES / Hair regimen system. This challenge / thread is really helping the PJ in me

This is where I'm at with my PJism too. I was stockpiling stuff that I had never even tried, just because it was getting good reviews. Not anymore. I already have a staple co wash conditioner, a staple deep conditioner, a moisturizing and clarifying shampoo, and a staple oil. Now all I have to find is a cheaper protein treatment and a moisturizer and I'll be set.

I'm trying to organize a sleepover or something with my family and friends just to give them products.

[CurliDiva]

Because if the product exchange at the Baltimore meeting - NOW I want to buy Ojon products! On the flip side I got rid of at least 8 products!

 

[LovelyLionessa]

Tonight, I used up a bottle of Mane N Tail and a tub of Garnier Sleek & Shine (which I love BTW.) I feel relieved to have finally found my staples now it's just a matter or giving away or using up a few odd conditioners I have lying around.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Last night I finished up some Africa's Best Organics Olive Oil moisturizer. It's going to be a staple, but I won't repurchase for awhile.

I also returned 5 V05 conditioners, some Proclaim Natural 7 Oil, and some Elasta QP conditioner.

Plan on using up some stuff up when I do my brothers hair tomorrow.

 

[B_Phlyy]

A great way to use up products, get the family involved.

My mom is using up a good portion of leave-in and grease, and today I did a pre-poo treatment on my brother annd he used up a whole jar of Garnier 3 Minute deep conditioner, a whole jar of John Frieda deep conditioner, and 3/4 bottle of Suave BioBasics conditioner.

He still has to wash and get styled, so he may use up even more.

Hi CurliDiva ! Yes -- you had some great hair products for the giveaway exchange !

Okay you know its serious and the PJ life is over when you start returning V05 conditioners ! B-Phlyy aint playing ! She is on a mission !

 

[BrownBetty]

I finished the Aveda DR conditoner...

too funny, but absolutely the truth. At it's peak, my V05 count was 27 bottles and about 10 different scents. Now, I'm down to 7 1/2 full bottles (4 1/2 of them transferred to a gallon jug with a pump).

I only plan on using 3 scents (Strawberries and Cream, Champagne Kiss, and when I can find it, Blueberries and Cream) and only buying them on sale and then refilling the gallon jug.

Yesterday I returned a conditioner to Wal-Mart and exchanged a product I didn't want from Sally's for something better. Tonight I finished a tub of Pantene Breakage Defense Mask, and bottles of White Rain Tropical Coconut and PM The Detangler. It's so cool, my shower is much less cluttered now!

 

[tnorenberg]

I finished up my Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" detangler. This was a staple of mine for sooo long. Well, I broke out a bottle of CON (red bottle top) and WOW. I don't think I have ANYTHING in my PJ hair arsenal quite like this. A shampoo & conditioner in one w/ TONS OF SLIP. I was amazed. This will be my new detangler.

 

[Healthb4Length]

I finally finished my Alter Ego Garlic Treatment, had as a staple for a long time it just didn't do anything for me and was collecting dust in my closet. Now I have to finish up my Mayo Treatment and I'll be half way done with all the excess products.

 

[taraglam2]

I used up a bottle of JASON Sea Kelp Conditioner as a pre-shampoo treatment yesterday.

I plan to return a PANTENE shampoo to Wal-Mart today and another Random Shampoo and Conditioner set back to SALLY's today as well.

 

[sareca]

I still haven't gotten any new products. Although I don't have a heat protectant so I might try Hask Straight Solution. My last one made my hair dry and kinda sticky.

 

[LovelyLionessa]

Yesterday, I finished another tub of Pantene Breakage Defense. With the warmer temps washing more frequently helps me use it all up.

 

[schipperchow1]

I'd like to join this challenge.

I've been trying, but failing, especially this month. I bought a number of conditioners even though I already had more than enough erplexed. I really wanted to try dominican conditioners & a local BSS has a large selection -- so I bought 3 condish & 1 rinse, as well as 2 leave-ins. & that's only the dominican products I bought...

I don't know how I won't go to the BSS next month...

Anyway, I have identified some staple products, but I like variety, so I know I will probably have 3 of each type of product.

 

[HoneyDew]

Last night I just finished a tube of the Tresemme Deep Quench Moisture Therapy conditioner. I really liked that one.

I have to put it on my list of goods ones as I move on the the next one of about 50 sekret conditioners in my PJ closet.

I think I am going to use the bottle of ION Moisturizing therapy I have.

 

[Artemis]

I finished my big bottle of PM SuperCharged on Tues I love that stuff. I bought the Joico MC Treatment Balm, and as much as I love Joico right now, I am eager to buy my Paul Mitchell stuff again...Nothing compares. So I am trying my hardest to use this up soon.
