Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 2

I'm totally going to be bored out of my skull while I'm not working so I may incorporate cowashing back into my reggie just to kill some of my products.
 
ZebraPrintLover Here is my stash, :look: the challenge is almost over, and I still haven't finished writing all my products down.
:hiya:

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.

2. List the products you hope to use up in your stash. Use your own categories. I think I got them all but I can't be 100% sure

Though I haven't been checking in, I have been using up my stash and I have banned myself from buying any other products except my can't live without Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk after I use up each bottle. I'll officially update my stash on August 31, 2012-with some sufficient progress :).
 
Checking in to report that my stash is decreasing slowly :yay:. I used a pass on Friday to repurchase Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner", which used to be an old staple of mine. My goal this week is to use the conditioners that I purchased a few weeks ago (I hauled about 14 at once!!) to make some natural curly pudding for my daily WNGs. This should help me with some of the volume. I am also making a conscious effort to only purchase my staples moving forward, which is my ultimate goal (finalizing my reggie for this stage of my journey).
 
I got my Deva Curl products just in time, because I only had 1 use left of my Giovanni. And I was completely out of the Deva Curl One. I added water to the bottle to use as a spray mist.

Today I received a bottle of Deva Care One, Deva Curl One and the B'Leave In. I have no clue how to use the B'Leave In :nono: Going to just hold onto it until I go for my consultation.

My hair still needs a lot of product. Hopefully these bottles will last until my consultation in August.
 
I used up:
DB Natural Coils Conditioning Mist
I bought:
Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture Shampoo (for dd)

Not Sure if I added these purchases within the last 30 days already:
Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger shampoo
Organix Hydrating macadamia oil Intensive Moisture Mask
(couldn't resist the walgreens sale)
 
Gave to Mommy
Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Lite
MIss Jessie's Curly Pudding
Miss Jessie's Quick Curls
KCCC

Finally used up my JC leave in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:dance7:

Also, I have two conditioners that are over 1/2 empty and my SM purification mask is probably 3 uses left. So i may end this session on a high note since cowashing is in my routine in this heat.

Used up CJ Smoothing Lotion. I love the slip, but, because of the glycerin, it is just too unpredictable for my hair.
 
I have maybe 2 more uses of my QH Cholesterol im so excited that I get to open something new:) but now the delima is what to try next???? I think I may be forced to open my Silk Dreams DC because I heard it only last 6 months:( has anyone here kept Vanilla Silk longer than that without any problems???
I also opened, used and liked my Hair One im going to use it up before I touch my wen at least half of it:)

Imma try this before I try Wen just to SEE if I will like it.
 
Just getting back from vacation so haven't done much to my hair over the past week.

They were giving away bags of Miss Jessies and I didn't take one :yay: I was very good. Didn't buy anything new. And didn't bring home any of the conditioners from the hotel.

DCing my hair now and just used up the last of my castor oil blend. Back to cowashing regularly so will be rolling through my conditioners this month.

faithVA, I am soooo proud of you mama. Cause you always bringing something home *highfive hun* LOL
 
Im starting my 1x/wk CW again tomorrow, so hopefully I can knock out some of these last conditioner I have.
 
I took Shescentit avocado conditioner off my list b/c my dd will be the only one using this product. My hair doesn't like silicone free conditioners.
 
Used up a 1 litre size Wave Nouveau and a Kerasoft Gel. I have not purchased any new purchases. On Sunday I whipped up a curly hair pudding using shea butter, natural conditioner, and essential oil for fragrance. This should help me with using up my stash. Once I finish all of the Wave Nouveau products, I will transition to an all natural leave in.
