Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge 2009

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm Right there with you La. I am going to Co-Wash this evening. I usually only do my hair once a Week, but for some reason, feel the "need" to Co-Wash.

So I will try to use up the remainder of my Emu Oil Conditioner (that I rinsed out w/water) and I will put a dent in my AO Aloe & Jojoba.

YAY! :reddancer: I finished up my Emu Oil Conditoner. I Changed my Game Plan about the Aubrey Organics and Used Organics Mayonnaise Treatment. Sitting with that on now.

Will rinse and scarf dry with a Leave-In, Gel and a Serum.

I can't believe you are planning to give up GPB and use Millcreek? Are you using Millcreek Keratin or Millcreek Biotin?

Can you please say why? Just Curious.

I have both Mill Creek Keratin & Biotin. Like the smell better. Like the consistency better. Cheaper. Easier to get out of the bottle. GPB has never wowed me. Sometimes its not even that deep for me .

Your doing really well shay. I did not like the gpb its protein but it made my hair extra mushy and greasy. The exact opposite of what i expected.

 

[chebaby]

hahahahaha thats funny Shay because im almost finished my GPB as well. i will repurchase though because i love it. i think i may love it more than the HSR. i have 4 different AO conditioners but i know for sure that i will repurchase the GPB.

im also ilmost done with my first jar of kbb hair cream. the only reason its not gone is because i have been using the second jar because i like the scent better lmao. but im gonna go back to using the one thats less than half full.

also i dont know how im gonna finish up my HE conditioners. i like the hello hydration but lately i feel like im getting build up on the second day of using it. thats not good at all.

 

[Kacie]

I used up my Aveda Damage Remedy Conditioner (No re-buy).

Yeah, Me Too. What I like about the GPB is that it is a Balancing Conditioner of both Protein & Moisture. It has that extra added something. Even though it is thick and troublesome to get out of the bottle (as is the rest of the AO's).

I have Millcreek Keratin (and I do enjoy it) and will definitely repurchase, and will probably also try the Millcreek Biotin (once I finish up the Jason Biotin) so I can see which one I like better. Jason is good.

But the GPB is (a definite keeper).

*btw: Finally used up one of the IC Fantasia Hair Serum. Have another Bottle on "Ice" Will probably try the PM Skinny Next to see how that is.*

Will be Henndigo'ing Tommorrow Night, so that will probably be a V05 Down for the Rinse Out.

 

[chebaby]

everyone keeps saying that the AO conditioners are hard to get out the bottle. i havent had this problem. maybe because i keep those in the bathroom so they melt a little. maybe.
anyway, i also find that the GPB makes my curls pop.


i used my yes to carrots conditioner today for the first time in a long time and i must say i dont remember it sudsing up and foaming like this before. i mean that foam was all over my neck and i had to make sure it wasnt a shampoo, weird.

Hi ladies, you all are doing so good. Im so proud *wipes tear*. I might go on hiatus next week so, if you ladies don't see me post here ill be back. I will probably start on monday.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I am Concluding My 3rd Week without Making any "real" Hair Purchases. So Far, So Good. This Challenge has made me Challenge Myself.

And I am Glad. I have moved all opened Bottles, Jars & Containers to the front and they are ready to be used up. Making Mental Notes of what will probably be replaced, and what won't.

It's been a very Good Challenge For Me.

Man...........If I had some Hair, I'd Be Dangerous!

You know I am a Mills Creek Keratin fan myself and may do what you are doing Shay and that is to just stick with Mills Creek Keratin. Afterall, like you said, it is cheaper than AO. I just found Jason Naturals Jojoba conditioner and I have to tell you ladies, I like it better than AO HSR.

I Love Jason Biotin. I also have Jason Lavender (Strengthing Conditioner) and the Jason Hemp Seed Oil Conditioner that is Excellent.

IA: Jason is a Very Good Natural Brand.

, I'm going after the JN aloe vera and sea kelp next. Never thought about getting the hemp seed oil or lavender conditioners, hmmm, looks like I might have to add those to my vitacost wish list for later.

I'd like to join. I've been doing this already for a month but can feel myself getting weak. *subscribing*

 

[Aggie]

I just finished off a 16oz bottle of Silk 2 Conditioning Curl & Wave Lotion. I also used 6 tubes of MN over the course of a few days that I forgot to report earlier, and lastly 1 Jason Natural Thin to Thick Hair & Scalp Therapy Body Building Hair Spray.

 

[Ronnieaj]

WHYYYYYYYYY?????

I am so close, SO CLOSE to using up three products, but alas!! I cowashed with Philosophy Amazing Grace conditioner; I don't have enough left for another cowash, but I have enough left for something, I just don't know what.

I have 2 more uses of Perlier Olive Oil moisturizing mask, and I think one more of Kimble Shea Butter treatment. I'm going to use the Kimble tonight as an overnight prepoo; I hope that I'll finish it off. I might add the Philosophy to my DC mix tomorrow to finish it off, and that'll be 3!! Won't be repurchasing any of these.

I'm also almost done with my JC Revitalizing Leave-in. Will repurchase, but not until done with other sprays in stash.

 

[Charz]

Ive used up Aubrey Organics Blue Camomile Hydrating Conditioner. I don't think I will purchase because it smells kinda weird, and I am scent person.

 

[iNicola]

Used up my Pantene R&N mask. Poo and condish are on sale at JCPenney tomorrow so I'll be picking up some Joico products .

 

[chebaby]

used up my kbb hair milk. on to the next bottle.

Welcome to the challenge i will add your name.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I finished up a small 1.7 ounce Joico K-Pak Conditioner. Yes, I have a Larger Bottle (or two) as a back up to the back up.

I will be DC with something (already opened) not sure yet, too many Open to choose from. Maybe the SheScentIt Banana Brulee? It's almost Gone.

I have Henna on now, for the next coupla' hours. Then a Final Hour of Indigo (2 Step Process). Will Rinse that Out with A Bottle of V05 Moisture Milks.

Ya'll I will be up all Night.

Ronnie: It's really Good to know what you won't be repurchasing and what you plan to repurchase and when. And Say So.

This has been a good lesson for all of us participating in this challenge. I think it STOPS Random Shopping and Excessive Spending.

Good job t use it up. Use the banana brulee, then you'll use up another product.

^^^^Thanks La!

Totally agree Terri. This challenge is helping me use up stuff I want to finish off and move on to the ones I really want as staples. Thank you La Colocha for starting this thread. It's really great afterall. Although I haven't been buying anything new and probably won't until I use up most/all of the ones I don't consider staples.

It is taking quite a bit of my will power not to buy anything else right now but I'm doing it - it helps tremendously when I don't have any surplus monies to play with too I guess.
