Doing alright. I know I'm super quiet in this challenge but I am working on finishing up some conditioners. I'm almost done with the Silk Elements MegaSilk deep treatment after two uses. I haven't been buying any new hair products, haven't had the urge to really.
 
I'd like to join Session 2 of this challenge because I promised DH that I would use up my current stash before I bought anything new. I don't consider myself a PJ, but I have PJ "tendencies." :lol: I actually don't have a lot of products, but DH thinks because I have a large, deep drawer full of hair products/supplies that I have an obsession. I told him that I wanted to try WEN next and he told me that I have to clear out my current stash first, so here goes!

Shampoos

  • ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo
  • Pure & Gentle Shampoo
  • Suave Coconut Shampoo
  • HH HE Shampoo
Conditioners

  • NTM Daily Deep Conditioner
  • Aussie Moist Conditioner
  • Suave Coconut Conditioner (added for co-washes)
  • Salon Grafix Citrus Creme Conditioning Cleanser (added for co-washes)
  • TRESemme Breakage Defense Conditioner (added for co-washes)
Deep Conditioners

  • ORS Hair Mayo
  • ORS Replenishing Conditioner
  • NTM Deep Recovery Mask
Leave Ins

  • Cantu Shea Butter
Moisturizers

  • ORS Incredibly Thick Hair Lotion
  • ORS GIRLS Moisturizing Styling Lotion (for my daughter)
Oils & Essential Oils & Butters

  • EVOO
  • EVCO
  • Castor Oil
Growth Aids

  • ORS Hair Fertilizer
Styling products

  • ORS Twist & Lock Gel (for my daughter)
  • ORS GIRLS Hair Pudding (for my daughter)
  • ORS Wrap/Set Mouse
Heat Protectants

  • ORS Heat Protectant Serum
  • Dudley's Creme Press
Other
  • Aloe Vera Juice (to mix in Pre-poo and leave-in)
Grease (obsolete but use occasionally to seal ends)


  • African's Best Super Gro Hair & Scalp Conditioner
  • BB Super Gro
  • Dixie Peach Pomade
I plan to continue using mainly ORS products; I would actually like to add the following products to my ORS stash:

  • HAIRepair Nourishing Conditioner
  • HAIRepair Anti-Breakage Creme
  • HAIRepair Vital Oils for Hair & Scalp
  • HAIRepairIntense Moisture Creme

I would also like to eliminate the products that I hate (Cantu Shea Butter) and replace them with more quality products. Plus, I'm dying to try WEN and SixThirteen. :yep:

Ultimately, I would like to simplify my reggie so that I have one staple product for a given purpose (i.e. moisturizing, protein, body, etc).

Here's a picture of my ORS stash... not too bad, right?

missbugg21 Boy, I can faintly remember my stash looking like that. Seems like you only have extra shampoos to use.

I was tempted to get the new silk dreams product. She was giving it away with a $35 dollar purchase, but I am proud to say I was strong. My cabinets have a little more room, and me likey. Can't wait to use up about ten more products, then I will have a little more wiggle room.

Products I am thinking of trying for Black Friday
BASK, if the reviews are still good
SD, destination hydration, and whatever is new
Claudie's, will probably need to re up some things
UFD, gel
QB, tea tree pomade, and brbc

Again all these purchases are contingent upon the reviews. My stash is deep enough for me to wait for Mother's day sales. I am going to listen to my hair.

I only had a small sample bottle from my girl Tashboog. I have only used it once on the right side of my hair. Was trying to compare it to Tresemme Naturals. I love the way it went on. I like that it was heavier than the Tresemme. But my hair has been in flat twists so I can't really tell the difference.

I cowash my hair again tonight and am going to try it again. I will probably let my hair stay down longer tonight to let my hair airdry. So I will let you know tonight.

My first impression is that I like it. That's unusual for me. Usually I either hate a product or I can't tell the difference.

Oh and the Deva One can be used as a cowash conditioner and a leave-in.

I can tell you that BRBC has been a staple for me for awhile. It's creamy, like whipped creamy. It has the light scent of lemons. I love it as a moisturizer/leave-in. I use it on wet hair but I've also used it on damp/dry hair. At first, I used it before AOHC (to seal) but I can use it without any other product - I just get a little heavier handed. Overall? Good stuff, worth the purchase. I hear that BASK has similar/competitive products too.

JJamiah wants that 613 too....
I dont think your stash is bad at all Meritamen, just too many poos for me but besides that your good.
 
I will be using up some stuff tonight/early in the wee hours once I get off of work. I plan on getting somethings done to this head.

LAMARia how is the QB brbc, and how do you use it?

Click to expand...

I use it to moisturize its thin enough and the first ingredient is water so I dont have to mist my hair first:) I like it a lot but I love the amla heavy oil one better
 
Doing a Nexxus Emergencee Treatment..... then I will DC.

ETA:
After letting the above sit on for like an hour I rinsed it out in the shower and applied WGO and EVCO mixture to my NG area and then slathered on my DC which consisted of WGO and EVCO mix, Aussie 3 min, and ORS Replenishing stuff in the pack.

Will be sleeping in this for a few hours. I have on 2 shower caps and a du rag.

USED UP MY AUSSIE 3 MIN IN THE PROCESS.....:lick:

Used up Yes to Cucumber Conditioner and Kyra's Ultimate Indulgence conditioner. I will use and use up the L'Oreal Evercreme today, and will use up Desert Essence Ginger and Green Apple (:love: the smell), ITDF Organicals DC, and 1 bottle of Tresemme Naturals this week.

By the end of this session, if I don't buy anything else, I will have used up all non-staples and start tackling staples in the last session :yay:.
 
I ditched my QB AOHC earlier - it was getting old or something. It was an unusually liquid-y batch to begin with. I added a bit of it to my MN mix then trashed it. I might continue using BRBC with JBCO ... that's basically what AOHC is anyway. I'll need to restock the BRBC soon. It's almost gone.

ETA: I just updated my original post and I realized I'm two products away from graduating this challenge! :weird:

Wow, I am shocked that I got the guts to try a use up your stash challenge. I am on a personal no buy until Black Friday. Since I started the HYH and no heat challenges, I am using far less product and I haven't purchase any products in two months- so I think I can try this.

I traded a ginger shampoo, SD waterfall, and Oyin Hair Dew for IC heat protectant, CD Chocolate Smooth, and CJ coco. I am still curious to try products, but I think I will do trades from now on, and continue to reduce my stash.

1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge? I want to clear out the clutter in my cabinets, and purchase things as I use them.
