I am hoping you ladies can help me. I just used my VS So Sexy Nourishing conditioner. It is fabulous: it detangled like a dream, left my hair soft, and I think I only lost two or three strands. However, the scent gives me chest pains. Can someone recommend a conditioner that works like the VS?

Americka: Stop using it and return it (even slightly used) back to Victoria's Secret at once. Receipt or No. They can give you an in store credit if you don't have.
I can Guarantee they will take the product back.Unfortunately, I haven't used it yet, so would be hard for me to recommend something comparable. All I know is, I want you to stop using it Right Away.

Thanks, Terri! Believe me, it is my first and last time using it. It only cost me eighty cents because I used a birthday coupon combined with free shipping. And it works so frickin' well on my 8 weeks post hair.

Oh Yeah....I remember your Little 0.80 cent Coup!Thanks, Terri! Believe me, it is my first and last time using it. It only cost me eighty cents because I used a birthday coupon combined with free shipping. And it works so frickin' well on my 8 weeks post hair.
Regardless, give that stuff away. I don't want you having some sort of Freak Allergic Reaction. Better safe than sorry.
*I guess it would be senseless to return it* But nonetheless, do not use it again.

I won't! I swear on my 'lil pj honor! Now I have to find something that works as well as this stuff. My hair has swang at 8 weeks post. I have never gone eight weeks without relaxing, much less having swang with it. I guess I need to study the ingredients to find out what makes it work so well. I see silk amino acids and hydrolized wheat protein on the list...

You should be able to find plenty of other products that contain these 2. Joico may even have something. If I think of something I will post. But you could always start a Thread asking for Help or for Products with these 2. There are alot of knowledgable women on here that know products well.
That's what I would advise.I don't want to Hijack this Thread any further.

Now One thing I did do was, Buy some Silk Amino Acids and some Hydrolzed Wheat Protein from Lotioncrafters to mix in with my Conditioners.
This may be a Great Option for Americka. And then she could add the two in with her already Favorite Conditioners and Give them an Additional Boost!

Great minds think alike! That was what I thought of this morning. I love my Pantene (don't hit me!), but that VS was like

Girl, Ain't Nothin' Wrong with what You Like as Long as It Works For you. And you are getting results.
When You are out there on Lotioncrafters, also look at the Honeyquat. They have a Discount Code too for LHCF Members. They are really nice and helpful and they have great Customer Service.
I don't want you spending alot of money on Stuff. But these 2-3 things will give the products you alread Love an Additional Sumthin'-Sumthin'
You'll be able to use each of them in a Variety of Ways too.

ITA with T. I have saa and wheat protein and add them to my condishes all the time. I also add them to my ayurvedic tea mixes.
I finished the coconut hair butter! I'm excited about that. I will hold out and use up 1 more thing because I want to order 2 BPT conditioning creams.

I know that I am not in this challenge, but I do the same as well. It eliminates the need for protein conditioners for me.
I lurk in this thread for inspiration to use my stuff up. I find that keeping a paper bag with all of the empty products that I have used up completely gives me some inspiration to use the products I have up as well.

Why don't you join char, you are always welcome here.
The bag of empty containers is a good idea. Just let me know and ill add your name when your ready. This is not a no buy so its not as limiting.Good job shay, i can't wait to use something up.

My buy pass tally is now at -1
When you order your staples online it is so hard not to add a couple more things to the cart.
I know it is hard kacie, and its better not to do buy passes or you might give up. You can buy at any sales or discounts. Like i order from hairveda. I got the sitrinillah because it was on sale but i added some other products too because i will be out of some products by the time my package comes. And its cheaper to get it all at one time. Instead of going back again and again to order.

Goodmoring ladies, How is everyone? Im still here, i still have at least 2 more uses of my amala cream rinse. When i washed my hair i thought i only had one more, but the product grew and i have more to go. But the good news is i have 2 cowashes left with my yes to cucumbers conditoner and that should take 2 days since i co wash everyday. Then i will move on to my moist 24/7 conditoner because im not repurchasing the yes to cucumbers until its on sale.

I don't know bout everyone else but I'm having fun using up stuff and reporting in. So a few things:
I realized I had been using products up in the past. When I went to recycle my coconut hair butter container I noticed a Carol's Daughter Vanilla Black Smoothie and BPT container. So I need to give myself credit. Not for this challenge because that was before it started but just in general.
I was wrong about the almond glaze. I started on a new container and didn't realize it.
I should use up vatika frosting and herbal green tea butter from Hairveda this week. I have plenty of back ups for these two.
I will buy at least two BPTs this week and maybe that is it.
Hey Ladies,
I might as well join seeing that I read this thread every time there is an update
I just need to use up stuff. I don't have too much stuff, I just like buying things especially in bulk.
For example I have:
8 Vatika Frostings
4 AOHSR
3 CTDG
2 Amla Pomades
3 AOHC
And I need to use all of this stuff before I buy more, because it might expire
I think I am a hoarder haha. I still feel like I need to buy more of the same dang thing!
I am going to DC under my steamer tonight with some AOHSR, Vatika Frosting and Silk Amino Acids.
