Prolly just use some good ole fashioned alcohol.

WNS, I was going to suggest ACV too. I get really shiney hair with it. When I finish the bottle I have, I am going to get the Braggs brand with the mother. I think it is supposed to be better. I just use a tablespoon of ACV with a cup of water.

ok now that ive found ORS smooth and hold pudding i will never purchase miss jessies creams again. i like them but i think ORS does the same thing. and the ingredients are basically the same as well.

Have you tried the pudding che?

 

[chebaby]

the ors pudding? yes. i used it yesterday and i love it. my twists are so shiny and soft. i love that it keeps my twists looking juicy lol. the ors reminds me of a mix between jane carter twist and lock and miss jessies.

miss jessies pudding? i havent tried it since i first went natural and i had a sample. everythin made my hair hard back then so i dont know about that but i will say i didnt like the texture of mj's pudding. it was really weird and producty. the meringue is amazing though. i love it, but like i said for $6 you get the same thing from ORS. and the ORS is 13oz so you get a lot.
im not sure is the pudding is the new formula for ORS lock and twist gel or if these are two different producst. ive never tried the gel.

My son is assisting me with using up my stash, We are both using the Yes to Carrots, he is using up the HE HH, and Termasilk Shampoo. Both should be done pretty soon. I do his hair every 2-3 weeks so it is a slow assist but it is an assist. My other son uses Nexxus Therapee and Humectress, I think I will let him continue with the shampoo but use up the White Rain and VO5 conditioners. The little guys use the kiddie stuff. So I am glad to be getting a little assistance here. LOL!

After my stash gets slightly lower I will be repurchasing HE HH shampoo and conditioner for my son, his hair drinks it up!

So basically you saying no more introducing new product/sales???

Oh No.....Never @bolded. You know We got to stay on top of Thangs Like that

But....When the Conversation turns to: "I bought, I bought I bought" and not what I've used up, it lost my interest (because I am not on that right now)

But I agree with what Che said in her post. The PJ Thread turned into a Free for All and there didn't seem to be any type of restraint going on.

So, for me, it was a Blessing that Charzie re-started this thread.

(This is where I need to be). I can only speak for myself and my personal hair goals and stash challenges.

I want to reduce it. And that's where I'm at.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

ITA with this whole post. this thread makes me want to use stuff up. the pj thread had me not caring. i bought stuff because i wanted it and because the pj thread wasnt areal challenge so i was like whatever.

Very Well Said................

Well.........................................

I should be using up a couple of things this wash day. Possibly some Henna and Hopefully, a conditioner or 2.

I know I will finish up a Box of 10 of the Matrix Ceramides Colorcare (for sure).

Will move on to a box of 10 of the Hydratherapie.

 

[chebaby]

i plan on using up my 4oz jar of kbb ll hair mask the next time i deep condition. after that i will move on to using jessie curl wdt as a deep treatment.

other than that, im going to try and use up my samples of oyin shine and define and whipped pudding on some twists or braids for braid out within the next two weeks.

That's Great Charz!

You are really using up alot of Stuff. You've done very well in this Challenge.

You've eliminated and narrowed down alot of things that didn't work for you and focused strictly on things that do work. (I sees the results)

You've done a great job!

I can't wait until I've lasered in on what it is I want to really continue with. I have so many different 'Lines' and a combination of different 'Lines' which is confusing.....

So that's why using up 1 thing until it's gone is a 'good idea' for me. That way, I can really see how something is really working for my hair.

I hope to make some sense of it all, soon

I'm gonna finish two moisturizers today. It's small, but I feel so proud.

Ms. T, I'm going to PM you later today. I need help with ceramides!

Look like everyone have a good use up their stash plan. I'm still going to do the same as IDareTshair plan. I actually had started doing this more because my hair need to be wash more than once a week.

 

[chebaby]

i took my twists out last night and it made a good twists out, first time ever lol. but it was so shrunken i co washed today and wore a puff.
i think tonight im going to put more twists back in. i think im manipulating my hair too much. so when i put these twists in they are staying for a week. im going to use ors pudding and thats it.

Okay.....Give me the "Quick & Dirty" of how you're working the Plan LTown (Break it down for me what you're doing).

I am always looking for a better way to tweak it.

And.........you're right, doing your hair more than once a week should also help eliminate a few thangs.

Perhaps this Summer, especially if I Phony-Bun, I will possibly do mine about twice a week.

Ok, here is what I doing. Sun/Wed
Sun
Prepoo with oil or conditioner
Shampoo non-sulfate(nature or soap bar)
DC-Aubrey, mix with one of the thicker cheapie conditioner live suave or HE, wheat germ oil
Leave ins-I use two different ones
Oil-Afroveda or home mix

Wed
preoil amla or jasmine
Ayurveda mix(amla, brahmi, fenugreek, maka) with conditioner(vo 5 or suave) I don't have much left
DC-aubrey or YTC with some other cheapie or giovanni
leave in- 2 different ones
oil-afroveda or home mix


If my hair is too oily because I in sulfur/castor oil challenge I'll do my hair quick with Qhemet cleansing then use leave in.

I basically using 2 of something. I can use about anything to get my hair soft so using products for conditioning/leave in are really easy. I just need to figure what to use for a twist/braid out. I have yet to like it, it may not be my style. After meeting Charboss and another young lady Sunday they suggest just wearing washout.

I getting tired of the ayurveda mix so I may eliminate that which will reduce my products.

It's alot of 'work' and dedication to research and mix all that stuff up and be consistent with it.

You have a good bi-weekly plan. And you already know you're going to eliminate some things. So, you will be moving product out fast

Are you planning to continue with the "Cheapies" or are you moving on to 'other types' of Co-Wash Conditioners?

Since I work out and sweat in my head alot I'll probably try to find/use conditioners with ceramides as cowashes. I know I'll want to try new products out but won't get caught up in the sales buy get one free deal. I I used alot of conditioner mixing the ayurveda powders so this will be easy too. You have larger quantity of products so I understand your frustration. How come you have not sold anything?
