Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

Sounds Like We All Have a "Plan" going into 2010. We have All Made Some Pretty Good Plans for the Future of our Hair Growth/Hair Health.:yep:

Whether it be from decided how to re-structure/re-inventory our Stashes, Developing Staples, Stretching our Relaxers, Go Into Protective Style Mode, Learning to Twist, overall, just re-thinking our Regimens...and making adjustments.

It Sounds Like we all have made the necessary Plans for a Big Pay Off.:grin:
 
Good morning ladies, I have planned my hair care for the week. I will be rotating yes to cucumbers leave in and tw mist bodifier. And i will also be rotating shea amla and jojoba butter to seal. On wendsday i will do a dc for 30 minutes under the bonnet dryer with silk elements dc mixed with oil mix, glycerin and avocado butter. This is my plan for this week. And my wash day will be either friday or saturday. It depends if i have to work on saturday or not. And i will have the plan for wash day by thursday. Im hoping to use something up this week. What are your plans for this week? or are you going to just take it day by day? Keep using up those products and keep up the good work. Everyone have a good monday.
 
I do the same thing each week.

Monday--prepoo with oil, dc with protein, tea rinse, cowash, detangle, acv rinse
Wednesday--prepoo with oil, tea rinse, cowash, acv rinse
Friday--prepoo with oil, poo, dc with moisture, tea rinse, cowash, detangle, acv rinse
 
Monday - prepoo w/ ayurvedic oil, shampoo, and DC (moisture)
Wed- DC on dry hair (light protein) followed w/ moisture cond
Fri- DC on dry hair (moisture)
Weekend - DC on dry hair and Tea rinse

I hoped to finish one of my moisture spritzes this week and an instant conditioner.
 
hi ladies
today i used a whole 8oz bottle of conditioner on my hair. why you ask, because for some reason my hair would NOT detangle. the conditioner i used was the alba botanica cupuacu butter conditioner. i dont think i like it. it made my curl super super tight and i could not get my fingers through my hair. the conditioner seemed like it had slip at one point but i guess it just didnt agree with my hair or something.

ETA: i have another bottle and i will use it up by mixing it with oils to help it detangle my hair. this is also more of a reason for me to start braiding my hair at night. STARTING TONIGHT.

Thanks Che. One less conditioner for me try. I have cut back to only 2 moisturizing deep condishes and now I'm antsy. Currently my moisturizing dc's are sitrinillah and ytc mud mask.
 
well that conditioner would have never become a staple anyway even had i fallen in love with it. it was just something i bought at the time because i needed to scratch my itch lol. i mean it has major slip but it just did not get the job done for me. my hair has never been tangled like that. and i detangled saturday and sunday because remember i took my twists out.
 
you just reminded me of my jbco. dont know how im gonna use it.

i just decided that it is cold today and i will not continue to rock a puff all week. so tonight when i get home i will spray my hair with ojon revitalizing mist and then get to twisting with a mix of jc twist and lock and ohm sweet hair pudding. im going to try an recreate the first set of twists i did.
 
I had my "Reggie" all written out for the rest of the Month in between meetings, and left it on my desk at work.

Will have to come back and post that tomorrow.

Nothing too complicated, just the usual. I may do another Hendigo this weekend.:yep:

My Biggest thing for the next coupla' months is Using Up Stuff.:look:

Yeah, I worked with the Products that I have in the Line Up to Use Up.:yep:

I may switch those around a few times,:look: but it will only be with all the other stuff that has been separated out to use up by 12/31/09.

i.e. I have like 3-4 1/2 Empty (or Full) Bottles of Co-Wash Conditioners, I may switch it out, but it will be with one of those 3 or 4 only. Same with the Oils, the Leave-Ins, etc...:look:

Any switch outs have to be made with those products that are sitting out to be used up.:ohwell:

You got it all down to a t. You know what im going to do mine for the rest of this month, that way i can go by the paper and know what im going to use. All i have to do is stick to it.:yep: If the products that i list get used up, then i will just replace it with something else. It will also give me something to do while i am bored. Ill start it tonight.

La: That Sounds Like a Plan.:woot:

Mostly everything in My initial line-up is probably stuff I won't repurchase.

And/Or......it will give me a chance to really know how I "feel" about it.:perplexed

Truthfully, right now, I'm not sure, because I didn't use most of it long enough to do a proper analysis.:nono:

IA: If I use it up before 12/31, I have plenty others that can go into the Use-Up rotation.

And I hope that is the case!:crossfingers:

Like you said: "We've been At this Challenge since July":blah:

I don't want my time to be spent in Vain.:cantlook:

Imma Make this Work.:yep:
 
i've been doing good about not using something until the other is finished. i have been itching to use my taliah waajid mist but i refuse to start on it until i am done with my ojon mist.
and you know what, i think i will repurchase the ojon mist. even though its not all natural and is exspencive i will still purchase here and there. because even if i fall in love with the tw mist, the ojon is "wet" so it is amazing to use at night before i use a cream or butter and its great for twists. but i will have to save up for it, or dont repurchase until i get someone to order the big bottle for me on my bday lol. the 5oz is like $27 and the 16oz is $40 so i ordered the big bottle months ago and now im down to the last little drop.

Good Che!:grin: Please Just Stay Focused and Keep Using Stuff Up! Thanks for this Post!

Good Job!:up:
 
:clap:I am So Feeling this as Aggie put it: "A Challenge Within A Challenge":laugh: to Kick this Use Up Thang into High Gear!

It's Actually Pretty Exciting! We all have alot of Good Stuff to Use up, Evaluate, Re-Purchase (should we choose to) or Whatever.

It is all Up to Us and Our Individual Journeys.

It's Going to be Fun Seeing How we Each Use It Up to Get Us to the New Year!:grouphug3:

YAY!:happydance:
 
T, you are so right because i am even motivated to start using my oyin whipped pudding which i have not touched in forever. i even plan on doing twists with my curls whipped cream. i gotta get rid of this stuff. i will always have more products than i need because i just like it that way. but the products i plan on having are ones that are staples. like having 3 of the same products. not 6 randon moisturizers that i may not like. once i get rid of the oyin and curls i doubt i will repurchase. i will only repurchase the oyin if i cant get my hands on any afroveda since i can drive to the oyin store.

but my staple moisturizers are:
unrefined shea butter
kbb hair cream(only in the summer)
afroveda shea amla
qhemet heavy cream(i can really do without this but because its so heavy i like it because it makes me feel like aint nadda wind gonna break my hair)

This product made my hair look dull but i tell you what it is a great dc and it saved me many a time from protein overload. I gave the rest of the jar away:nono:. I should have kept it just in case. and the burdock root buttercream made a good pre poo.:sad:
 
working, working and working.

Ive used a DC sample from Jasmine's. Is that good?

I washed my hair using shampoo from Jasmine's yesterday and I really liked it!

Im am PATIENTLY waiting for my sitrinillah. I received the email, so I know it will be about a week or two before I get it.

Ive basically used NOTHING. but Im working on it.
