WOW ! Brownie ! I "Hate" that you actually threw something away.

Hopefully, this "practice" of throwing away items will change as you streamline your purchase process.:blush:

May All the Discarders Get to a Place where you have "Right Sized" your Product Arsenal.:yep:

well its just a whipped shea butter. i like the fact that it just melts right into an oil. but i hate the way it looks:look: lol. my old jar the butter was almost an orange color and the texture looked a little different. this butter is like off white and idk....it just looks different. i will use some tonight to put in some giant braids just to sleep in. im doing a w&g tomorrow. i cant wait. i miss my puff so much.

I had to. 90% of them were old anyway. They weren't even half full, most of them. I'm sure there will always be things I buy that I end up not liking and either giving away or throwing away. No, I KNOW there will. :rolleyes: But I just have to get this mess out of here so I can start of fresh. :yep: Now that me and my hair are more in tune, it's all good!

I sure didn't do this before. That's what led me to this challenge. Now, I don't really have to do this. I have a much better understanding of what my hair will like so I do that evaluting before I purchase. :yep: La cracked the whip and got me into shape!

I bought the mizani night time cream. My hair needed something else. I used this in the past and don't know why I stopped. I need to go through my stash and get rid of stuff I don't use.
 
Good morning ladies, today is wash day. Im going to prepoo with coffee butter and hibiscus oil. Wash with elucence moisture benefits poo, condition with tw herbal conditioner ( i have a few uses left of this). Deep conditon with buttermix with jbco added. Braid with califa mist and olive butter. I will not use up anything this weekend. My stash is getting down to only staples. My product drawers are looking neat and organized.:yep: Ladies keep up the good work and ill talk to you all later. Let's get this day over with.
 
i dont know why im up so early but i am. im thinking about going to target or something before work because i need some headbands.
 
Yay! My hair is long enough for me to do neck length twists! I am SL now, but shrinkage is insane!

Maybe I will do twists instead of weaving. My hair feels so soft!

I just started using the Mizani night time cream last week myself because of SuperGirl's thread about it.

ETA: I hope I end up liking this. My hair seem to like reconstructor type proteins only. I have to watch it some more to make a better assessment. I know it hates that hardcore Aphogee 2 Step protein for sure.

I am trying Dudley's DRC 28 just as it says on the bottle soon to see how my hair responds to that one. I know I like the Duo Tek protein conditioner. It's nice and mild.

Che, I was in target this morning and they had cute headbands. I think they have fall headbands now because these were different from what they have been having.

I am going to the salon tomorrow to get a trim but I think I will DC tonight with AOHSR.
 
In the last week I've used up:

AO Island Naturals
AO Rosa Mosqueta
TW Protective Mist Bodifier

The AO conditioners will not be repurchases. I don't like the way they smell and they don't work as well as the AO WC. I already bought another bottle of the PMB. I love that stuff. I tried diluting it, and it still worked perfectly for detangling but I didn't get the super silky soft moisturized feel after it dried. So I'll just use it full strength and try not to use as much.

And because I loved the PMB so much I am interested in trying out the tw total body shampoo and her herbal conditioner. From the few reviews I've seen, people really liked them.

Oh and using gelatin on my hair has been going great. My hair feels smoother and there's less breakage during detangling (which is due in part to the pmb).
 
i havent used up anything this week and i dont think i will next week either, well maybe a sample of afroveda shea amla or curly custard. well see.
also i take back what i said about afroveda coconut conditioner. i dont like it. it gave me the smae type of moisture as yest to carrots which isnt much but it made my hair super duper frizzy. urgh ive never seen anything like it. the moisture was ok but the frizzies just made this stuff on my suck list.

i got my qhemet biologics in the mail today and used a little of the honey balm on my wet hair over my kbb hair milk and under my ohm sweet hair pudding. talk about soft hair. all of those things have great moisture so i hope that holds me over tomorrow too. i slicked my hair back using a mix of curl junky aloe fix gel and oil it up oil. that gel is really nice but i dont know if i will repurchase because its darn near the same price as kccc. but then again i like this stuff, hated the kccc and i know this stuff will last forever so maybe it will be a repurchase.
 
oh i forgot im gonna pre poo with cofee butter this sunday, shampoo with afroveda shampoo bar, deep condition with AO WC and i might do braids. if i do i will use kbb hair milk and afroveda cocolatte butter.
