Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 2

[faithVA]

We are gathered here today to give our respects to Godiva Shampoo Bar who left this world as body soap.

Hilarious. That's so unfair to have such a beautiful name but not live up to it But glad it was easily repurposed.

 

[faithVA]

Shampoo:
1. Wen Vanilla Mint = x 2 (Staple)
2. Crème of Nature Green container
3. Wen Pomegrante (Staple)
4. Wen Mango Coconut (Staple)
5. As I am Coconut Co-Wash in place of WEN FIG (Staple)
6. Ion Clarifying Shampoo liters – x 2 (Staple)
7. Wen Fig/GP Mix
8. 613 – x 2 (Staple)
9. APhogee Shampoo for damaged hair
10. Hair Ones x 3 (Mercy Bday and to kids) 

This list doesn't look too bad. It will really be much smaller in 5 months.

 

[JJamiah]

@JJamiah, how do you like Penetraitt? It was very bi-polar on my hair.

JeterCrazed, I haven't used it as of yet. It was given to me. I will definitely let you know when I do use it.

Yes and the Creme of nature has about 6 washes left and the Aphogee has about 2 shampoo's left. so those are on their way OUT.... (Wen Fig/GP, has about 2 left too) I am happy it is trickling down.

 

[Arian]

We need an auction section

@lamaria211, yes, maybe that would help.

On another note, I want to trash the Joico Hydrator. Ick!

My hair hates everything. But it is quite soft after DCing with the Proclaim Argan Oil masque. I still have some crunchy, knotted ends that I'm going to get trimmed off this week. It's going to take me a while to get through the 6 bottles of AO GPB, but that's ok. I am going to put the two bottles of Rosa Mosqueta on the chopping block though. I just don't like the new formula.

Updated my stash. Used 8 bought 2. I feel good about that.

Somebody keeps refilling my Sebastian Drench and Belegenza EnCore Both will be gone by week's end or it's going in the trash.

Sister says she ran out of the lotion I made and she wants more. Uhh... you mean stole? Gonna make something from that safflower oil.

 

[classoohfive]

Im now using my HE LTR conditioner a.nd the HE LTR leave in. I may save a little of the leave in just cause its no longer on being made

lamaria211,

I read that the HE Touchably Smooth leave-in is the go to replacement because the formulas are very close. I've checked the bottle and there are some differences including the lack of raspberry smell so I'm using it until something else comes along.

 

[Lanea87]

Returned the Jumping Juniper to LUSH and exchanged toward my sister's birthday gift That damn thang is $10!! Shudda took the Godiva, too. ...but I love the smell of jasminoides

*le poof*

 

[JJamiah]

^^^ That was good.

I am taking some things back to Sally's tomorrow

I am going to just get a card so when I finally cut, I can stock up on some products

 

[Ogoma]

I have one thing to add:

Curl Junkie Curl Rehab - 32oz (1). Leaving this in, with a palm full of AO Aloe Vera, and sealing with QB AHTB yesterday made my hair feel like butter today. I don't plan on living without any of those and had to re-up on curl rehab before I ran out.

I am good until BF. I promised my SO, I would not buy anything more until then.

 

[BEAUTYU2U]

Still cheering y'all on!

3. Post a Pic of your "Stash". (Optional)
NO WAY

4. What are your goal(s) for the session
To be able to fit EVERYTHING INSIDE the cabinets. Not on the window sill. Not on the sink. Not under the sink. Not making a seance around the tub.
I want it out of here.


* Staples. I don't have a staple in every category.
I should not need to make any purchases.

[Lanea87]

Keep it going ladies!!!!!!

 

[Ogoma]

Sold QB AOHC. I had minimal uses for it; it was too heavy and greasy to use in the intended way.

 

[lamaria211]

I WANT TO TRY SOME DARCYS BOTSNICALS PRODUCTS SOOOOO BAD. ok im back so tomorrow im gonna CW with my HE LTR again, since I have a full bottle im really trying to use it up. Today I also used my QH Cholesterol as a moisturizer( thats how bad I want it gone) hair feels really soft and nice but Im sure this is the oldest product in my stash right now 3+yrs

 

[hottopic]

I been using it up like we planned. But I broke down and bought new products this weekend. But at the same time I threw out products with the evil mineral oil... lol

 

[lamaria211]

Im DCing now (overnight) with QH Cholesterol I have one more use with this DC and it seems like the last few Dcs with it have been the best

 

[faithVA]

My hair analysis shows that I have to cut my hair almost back to the beginning. I ain't trying to use all my good product on hair that has to be cut But I don't have many funky products in my stash, if any.

So to hold onto my Deva Curl stuff until after my cut, I'm going to switch over to cowashing with my AO products. Relatively oz per oz they are only a little cheaper than the Deva Curl stuff.

The good news is that I don't have to run from regular protein in products, so I can get back to using my Nubian Heritage products and my AO Blue Chamomile.

Why is this faithVA?

 

[faithVA]

ZebraPrintLover[/USER];16428919]Why is this @faithVA?

She said the analysis shows that I have severe heat damage that has melted the protein in my strands which can't correct itself. The hair will split all the way to the root if I don't cut it. From the slides it appears that I only have 1 to 3" of healthy hair left.

I'm actually glad to get rid of it. It's been 2.5 years of struggling with it. Enough is enough.

Does your hair type burn easily? What did u have your flat iron on?

 

[faithVA]

Does your hair type burn easily? What did u have your flat iron on?

I don't know. This was so long ago I don't even remember. This would have started in 2009 before I joined LHCF.

It doesn't matter now. I won't be straightening my hair anymore.
