Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

[La Colocha]

I used up an Ashlii Amala Dc today!!!

I'm under the Pibbs drying my rollerset

Good job charz, i know that it will be a repurchase for you.

 

[La Colocha]

I have organized my products, as per americka, so now all i have to do is use them up. Ladies do you have any other suggestions that would make this challenge i don't want to say better but i can't think of another word. Sometimes i don't really have alot to say but i keep posting to help keep moral up and inspiration, All of you are doing a wonderful job. We are going to go out of 2009 with a bang and tear up 2010. The best strategy for me to use up stuff is to rotate open products and don't open anything else until the other things are gone. But the one problem i keep running into is do i have enough product to last me. I don't know if its just in my mind being a pj or is it reality. I just have to strech stuff out because i don't want to buy anything else.

Me too, my goal is to try and use up at least 1 thing a week. Your welcome, i like doing hot prepoos, instead of just hots.

That's a really "Lofty Goal" to use 1 item up per week. That's Good.

I could try to use up 1 Product per Month. That's roughly 4 uses per month.

I will also be doing HOT Pre-Cons with some of the Cholestrol, Lustrasilk Conditioner & Mayo too!

This is going to be an exciting Hairwinter.

I know i think i put my foot and my toes in my mouth when i posted that one. I have to go back and read it but i think i said try. I hope i did, if not i have some editing to do.

LC--I think it will be really hard to use up one product a week. It takes me about a week and a half to use up one cowash condish and that's with exclusively using that product every time. That's how I've been using stuff up. I decide what I want to use up and I use that exclusively each time. For example I am trying to use up my last HE Hydralicious so every time I want a moisturizing cowash that is what I use. My next thing is Aussie Moist. That's gonna take a minute bc it is 33.8 oz. But it's taking up too much room in my stash. I'm also working on the Roots of Nature Reconstructor and AO's GBP.

You are right shay, i was doing this before but it just seemed like it took so long for me. But its probably the best way to do it. Im going to do it this way again with certain products to get them out of the way. Starting with the things i won't buy again, so i can save the stuff i love. Bingo hun i just had an epiphany(sp?). thanks.

What gets me is I feel like I am wasting my time when I can be using the stuff I instead. It is a means to an end though.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I, too, am moving exclusively into use-up mode.

My biggest obstacle is the fact, that I only do my Hair Once a Week.erplexed

There are about a little over 12 weeks left in this year, so it gives me a constant goal to work towards to minimize my stash.

12 weeks gives me the opportunity to knock out some stuff that is Open but will not be repurchased.

We Can Do This! My Stash will be Leaner going forward.

I know t, but you are still using up stuff on the regular so that is a good thing.

 

[La Colocha]

Here is a list of the things im going for to use up

Ytc mud mask- this is a repurchase but not now, i have about 2 uses left of this.

silk elements dc- this is not a repurchase, and i will use for prepoos or midweek dc's.

tw herbal conditoner- This conditoner is half full and i have a 32oz on reserve. it will be a repurchase when all of it is gone.

ytcu leave in- This is about full but i want to use it up, it will not be a repurchase when it is gone. I like the tw leave in better.

Jojoba shampoo sample- this is half gone so i will get rid of this and not repurchase.

tw mist- this bottle i have is less than half but i just mixed it half and half with springwater to streatch it out. This will be an everyday spritz underneath my moisturizers or if im just lazy and don't feel like doing my hair i can just sprits with this. This bottle will be done soon and it is a repurchase when all my other bottles are gone.

Also i have a bottle of glycerin that i never use, i will start adding it to dc's and prepoos to get rid of it. I don't even know why i bought it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will "Attempt" to use up by 12-31 All Currently Opened:

2-3 Oils (ones that have the least left in them) i.e. Coconut, Wheat Germ, EVOO, Organic Soy Oil

Queen Helene Cholestrol, Lustrasilk, Organic Mayo etc....

2-3 Opened AO Conditioners i.e. HSR, Island Naturals, WC, in a Mixed Blend of some sort

1 16oz of Hairveda Sitrinillah* Unopened

2-3 Opened Reconstructors using these weekly

1-2 Leave-Ins

 

[Shay72]

Right now I am doing my hair 3x/week but deeper into my transition I will cut down my manipulation. When I hit 6 months I will cut back to 2x/wk. At 1 year I will probably cut down to doing my hair 1x/wk. I feel okay with that knowing that I am fine with detangling dry hair now. Of course this all depends on how my hair is doing.

I detangled with Hydrasilica yesterday and it was a breeze again. My hair was still pretty much detangled from when I did it on dry hair earlier in the week. So now I have two detanglers--Hydrasilica & Afroveda's Ginseng Detangler. Dang I forgot I still need to try Qhemet's Cocoa Detangling Ghee (I will try it this week) and I heard Darcy's Leave In is a good one too. Ya'll I've got a curly, coily, wavy forest coming in and I need to be prepared because there ain't no going back. Still researching the denman.

I was going to get that but decided not to. The denman is my best friend for detangling.
