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

[LovelyLionessa]

WELCOME Priestess - Glad to have you on board!

Thanks Texas QT, I'm glad to be here. I feel like I've joined Pjs Anonymous. It was hard "coming out" but I'm glad I did. Now I can begin the road to recovery.

Hi Tee

Ain't that multiples problem a kick in the head? It's like the old Calvin Klein ads, "Between love and madness lies OBSESSION!!"

I've made up my mind, I'm going to return 4 bottles of the Proclaim. I have to, I like the conditioner very much, but I've found Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose and I like that one better. I've gotta do everything I can to move this "stock." The thing of it is I don't wash my hair often enough to justify all these conditioners.

I wash more often now just to use up some of them. Conditioners are my weakness! I am Pre pooing and the whole 9 yards!

Why did I buy 4 bottle of the V05 Strawberries and Cream! I had it bad!

 

[ScandalousBeauty]

I'm late...but I am joining!!

I found like 6 bottles of almost empty crap...so I mixed it all together. So, in my liter of Nexxus Humectress I added the rest of my Mizani Hydrafuse conditioner. I also added honey and some pure shea butter oil. I added 2 to 3 ounces of Keracare Humecto as well. I think i'll add a few tablespoons of Naturallady's Boundless Tresses as well. That eliminated a lot of stuff in my bathroom, excellent idea y'all!!! I'm glad that we did this because I don't think that those products actually do too much for my natural hair. I'll be using it all as a DC or a pre-poo.

How are you liking the Chi - I've heard it being raved about and want to know should I add it to my wish list.

I haven't posted in this thread since the beginning of the challenge so I am just updating.

Last night, I finished off my Herbal Essences Hello Hydration. I mixed with honey and coconut milk and it just melted into my hair. I did backslide and buy a liter of Phyto Organics Humectin on Ebay for $14.99 Sunday as I could no longer resist the powerful urge. Last week, I bought Tresemme Silk Protein, but I was replacing what had run out.

Currently, I have my big gallon of SalonCare that I dumped all of my miscellaneous conditioners in for CO washing. (I cannot remember all that is in it, but my hair loves that stuff...). I have about 100 ounces left.

My moisture mix is two-third gone (two quart container) but my protein rich container (three quarts) of conditioner is 90 percent full as I just added a liter of Cabellina del Caballos to it and a liter of Duo Tex.

Of my un-mixed stuff, I only have Lustrasilk olive oil cholesterol, a half jar of Queen Helene cholesterol, a bottle of Suave milk and honey and a liter of Back to Basics Ginger Therapy in addition to the Humectin and Silk Protein.

Because I am CO washing practically daily and slathering conditioner on dry hair, I am using stuff up pretty quickly. I am also not buying three or four new conditioners a week, so I am not feeling so overwhelmed that I will never use up all this stuff in my lifetime.

 

[HoneyDew]

I was just thinking that about some silk worm dominican conditioner in my pantry. Silk is the third to last ingredient. I can't believe I fell for that.

Next I'm working on the moisturizing conditioner that came w/ my pure protein. There's about 3-4 uses left.

How do you like that conditioner. I really like the way it smells. i never re-purchased it though. I still have some of the protein left. I need to find some way to use that up.

 

[Blessedhairgro]

I'm late getting in too but I gotta do this! I have too many hair care products to list. I have 2 big plastic bins in my closet and products on my dresser, in my downstairs bathroom cabinet under the sink and in my kitchen cabinet under the sink and I still feen for more. I've gotta stop myself! I too wash and condition more often to use this stuff up. so count me in.
Help me, Help me!

 

[InquiringMind]

I'm coming out from hiding and joining the challenge. I was a pj before LHCF but, now I definitely have too much stuff!!

I need to Edit my post. I haven't use the Chi. It's one of the items left on my wish list. That wish list is slowing getting smaller since I am finding so many other products in my stash that I love!

So I want to try the Chi.

[GoldenBreeze]

I'm on my way to Sally's....... but I promise to only get necessary items. I need conditioning caps, a hand mirror (broke mine), some hair accessories, and some moisturizer. I think that's all that I need. Wish me luck ladies.

How did you do at Sally's today???

So now I am left with on the Wish List is
Bio Silk
Oyin Frank's Juice
Aveda BeCurly Cream.

*Removing the Oyin Boo Par. I have too much poo as is!*

I took a whiff of the Chi Silk today in Walgreens and it wasn't impressive. I think I will get the Bio Silk for a replacement instead of the Chi Silk. Any ladies use the Bio Silk? Plus you get more Bio Silk for your money. In Walgreens, the Chi is a 2oz bottle for 13.99. The Bio Silk is a 2.5oz bottle for 12.99. More product and a buck less for Bio Silk. My last hair stylist raved about Bio Silk. I want to know what the ladies here think of it before i buy it. TIA

 

[Cleve_gryl]

I'm a late entry, but I need in on this! I'm new to the forum and have added at least 9 new products to my stash since joining the boards!! I think I've found my staples, so now its time to just use them up!

 

[GoldenBreeze]

How did you do at Sally's today???

Wellllll......Okay, so I bought the mirror, moisturizer, and cond. caps. Then I saw a few things that I needed, but hadn't planned to buy on this trip. So my additional purchases were Mane 'n Tail Barrier Heat Protectant, WGO, Dr M's Temple and Nape Balm, and a Denman brush.

I love my Denman Brush! Let me know how the Heat Protectant work out for you. (and the temple balm.)

 

[B_Phlyy]

Okay, I used the last of my Proclaim Cholesterol on my moms pre-poo tonight, and I'm almost finished with my Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense Spray.

2 products down, about 100 more products to go...

Okay, I am mildly ashamed to say that the 2 products I finished last night have been replaced by two new ones I bought today.

I went to the bss and Jewels to get some headbands, clips, and some scissors (which I got) and on the way to the register, I passed the new V05 products. I couldn't pass up new V05 scents. I only got the conditioner though, even thoughI wanted the shampoos too. I got Grapefruit Mandarin Splash and Nectarine Orange Surge.

So back into rehab I go.

 

[GoldenBreeze]

I love my Denman Brush! Let me know how the Heat Protectant work out for you. (and the temple balm.)

My Denman is replacing a knock off that's falling apart. It's going to be awhile before I use the Heat Protectant. I'll let you know about it, and the Temple Balm.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished my bottle of Luster's Pink RevitaLEX conditioner the other day and updated my hard copy list. Going to Sally's tomorrow to just "look."

I haven't officially joined this challenge, but I have been on a quest to curb my buying and use up the things I have.

I recently gave away my slightly used Ojon Rituals "Try Me" Kit to my sister who wanted it for her birthday.

I am just about finished up the jar of QP Elasta Mango Butter

I am just about finished the jar of Qhemets Biologics Sidr Tree Butter Balm (I will replace this)

I am on my second bottle of SURGE Plus 14

Will finish my Vadik Herbs Ayurvedic Amla Hair Oil this week (replacement bottle on the way)

I have almost used up the 2 bottles of Nexxus Humectress (replaced with the Phyto Organics Humectin)

I don't have half as many products as some of you, but I have enough to say "WHOA! This has got to stop!" The cabinets in both of my bathrooms are beginning to overflow and I don't like clutter at all!

I am trying but, I just purchased the NTM Silk Touch Leave-in Cream and the NTM Healing Serum and the NTM Daily Conditioner (green label) from my sister's job (she works for the company that makes the stuff ). 2 weeks ago I happened to be at Costco and purchased the 33oz bottle of Dove Moisturizing Conditioner. I like it! I have been using it to rinse out my henna/amla/cassia treatments.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! I think this is an ongoing challenge for many of us so there's no start or end date to it. You just have to Use It Up!

Thanks Babe! . I am pitiful... just thinking about purchasing Silicon Mix and Lacio Lacio.

 

[texasqt]

Well, after having to battle with breakage, shedding and dry hair this week, I made a trip to Beauty Depot to pick up Mizani's H20 Nightime treatment that was recommended here. I realized a little to late that I had a protein overload from using the Big Aphogee, not DCing properly, using Infusium leave-in (more protein), blowdrying, flat ironing...need I say anything else.

Anyways, I brought the Mizani on Wednesday and used it each night since, and there was no change in my hair. Still breaking all over. Saturday, I finally co-washed and that did the trick so ......I TOOK THAT BABY BACK AND GOT MY $20 RETURNED!!! This was my first time ever returning a product that I didn't like!!! I don't know why I've never done this before!

You sound like me. I know it will be a while before I get to ust any heat protectant so I wont really have a fit over that one. lol.

Thanks and I will stay tuned. I know it might take some time before you can really see growth from the Temple Balm.
