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

[Tee]

Thanks for the support Letitia ! That Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Moisturizing Conditioner is all that. Makes my hair moisturized, manageable and smoothe. It had been on my wish list for over a year and I finally purchased some right before Christmas. I have a lot of conditioners as well. This challenge is helping me get things right and get back down to my staples.

You are welcome lady! I have had my eye on this one for a long time. Thanks for the review. Too bad conditioners are my 'crack'! I have tons of them and I know it will be a good minute before I can use it up! It might have to stay on my list for year too!

I went to Walmart at lunch as I haven't been in over two months and it is R E A L L Y slow at work today. In the hair section, I did well only buying the Dove leave-in luminizing mist (I have been to six or seven places and cannot find the Dove leave-in sheer moisture mist anywhere) and a really beautiful ponytail holder with jet beads -- until I looked down. They had the one liter sizes of Aussie Moist and Aussie Mega conditioners with the pump on the bottom self for a dollar each. What was a PJ to do?

You did good since you couldn't find it anywhere else. I really love this product!

*You know you had me laughing about Aussie. Bad Bad Adw!

I know, Letitia, but my gosh, THEY WERE $1.00 EACH FOR A LITER!

I mix up conditioners and give to my colleagues on occasion and one of them asked me for more yesterday, so I filled up a 20 ounce bottle and happily gave it away this morning. My other colleague got jealous, so now I have to bring her some tomorrow so that almost balances things out again...sort of (smile)...

I don't think their being dscontinued, but they do come in different bottles now, so maybe they don't want people to be confused and they're getting rid of the old bottles.

Okay, you get a pass. giggles. That is nice of you to do! Plus, that is a 'steal of deal'!

I just had a wonderful "use it up" moment. I emptied 4 bottles of partially used conditioners into an empty cholesterol tub. Combined, the conditioners are just perfect for my next pre-poo. What a feeling of accomplishment this gives!

YAY, Just Use it Up, y'all!

 

[HoneyDew]

I used some stuff up!

I had eight 1 oz. packets of Cabots Protein Pac. I emptied them all into one container and gave myself a prepoo treatment with them tonight. My hair has been screaming for protein so this was perfect.

Also, I had some Yaky professional Leave in spray left over from my braids. I finished that off tonight as well.

Also, I started on that Mane and Tail shampoo that I bought about a month ago and never used.

Feels good.

I finished up a jar of Cream Hairdress (I have 2 or 3 waiting in reserve) and a bottle of Dove Moisture Mist Spray today! I am going to finish up a jar of Mango butter this week. (I have about 2 more in reserve.)


I am going to get some Mizani Night Cream for breakage. (Dont have anything like this in my stash)
Some Serum maybe. (I plan to maxiglide in a about 3 weeks to check my progress.)

Can I join??????? I have some no no products from my pre LHCF days. They have mineral oil ingredients and stuff, should I still use these up too? I think I will and just not buy them again, what do y'all think?

 

[cutiebe2]

I am working on my stuff but nothing is finished yet. I do have bottles of Surge and Infusium 23 which are to strong proteins for my natural hair. I am giving them to my friend who is relaxed

 

[B_Phlyy]

So last night I did an intensive deep conditioning co wash and used all of the following samples.

Silk Elements Revive and Restore Hair Mayonnaise
Roux Mendex
Elasta QP Intense Fortifying Hair Treatment
Silk Elements Revive and Restore Repair Masque

I also threw out the last of my Nexxus Headress because it was making my hair hard.

Hi, Of course you can join! Some no no products that just doesnt do anything for your hair are worth trashing. Now, with that being said, I have a few products that are no no according to LHCF laws but my hair loves them. I now just listen to my hair. I try not to use many products with Mineral Oil. If they work and my hair love them, I use them. I will NOT put anything with Mineral Oil on my scalp. So listen to your hair and welcome aboard.

It takes me awhile to finish up products also. You are on the right path. Just wait to that first empy jar/bottle hit the trash can!

[LABETT]

I plan to trash a whole bin of hair products I never use that has been taking up space in my storage cabinet most of these products I found on sale and never used.Mostly conditioners and styling products.
I have not been to hair meeting in awhile.

 

[CurliDiva]

I bought (3) products yesterday - Motions Moisture Plus Con, Redken Heavy Cream, and Silicon Mix - but used up other (6) others last weekend - so I guess I'm still doing good!

 

[taraglam2]

Just finished up and tossed a bottle of Nature's Gate Jojoba Conditioner. Currently doing a deep conditioning treatment on dry hair with it. (Have 2 more brand new full bottles in stash) Slowly getting my PJ stash down---very slowly.

Confession...I ordered some more Lenzi's before completing my OMTG
I was going through withdrawals and couldn't take it anymore. I really like OMTG, it makes my ng more manageable but I KNOW Lenzi's works for me so I whipped out my debit card and ordered it. I ordered not one, but two jars. However, since I like OMTG for what it does to my ng and I like Lenzi's for growth I'm going to incorporate both in my regimen. Neither will go unused nor collect dust - I promise


SIDENOTE: I don't know what ya'll been doing to Ms. Sue but I just ordered Wednesday night and I got my jars a few minutes ago at work

It's just been a couple of days since I joined the challenge and ALREADY fell off :fallenang the wagon .

I haven't finished anything yet but I purchased a few things today. I had to. It's the PJ in me... and the fact that I found a broken patch of hair
in my crown area .

I needed a "Hair" band-aid...

 

[sassyhair]

I now have help from the bf to use up my products. I put out the ones he should use on his head and he handles it from there. I am trying to get his hair right as well as mine. Double duty!

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished up my Sunsilk Anti-Poof and Hydra TLC conditioners last night. Thinking about throwing out my Silk Elements leave-in because I think it's drying my hair out. Maybe a few more trys with it this weekend.

Hey B Phlyy, do you use it on dry hair or wet? I use mine almost exclusively on wet hair since it's high cone.

ETA: Wait a minute, if you don't like it you can always take it back to Sally's. Without a receipt you can still exchange it for something else, with the receipt you can get a refund.

I give stuff to my husband too. He is an important player in my personal Use it Up challenge.

Unused items can be given to a women's shelter in your area. I love taking stuff there, they really appreciate it.

Ok, ladies I really do need help. I PROMISED myself that I would not buy anything but today I bought 2 bottles of Sunsilk "No Major Problems" Shampoo. It was on clearance for $2.99 and I had a few $1 off coupons. I had to get it. The ingredients look like this would be a good clarifying shampoo for hard water users like myself. It has Citric acid and Tetrasodium EDTA in it. I am so weak for a sale.

 

[sassyhair]

B_phlyy I noticed the same thing about the silk elements leave-in. I noticed when used on wet hair the comb glided through but when dried my hair looked very dull and had no movement. On dry hair it made my hair feel dry and brittle.

It's okay Honeydew, it happens. I got an e-mail from the vendor Sareca has used for indigo, he got some back in stock, plus he also had Jamilla on sale so I just, er um, well you get the idea.
