- I had/have (91) items in all, including new items.
- I got rid of (21) products
- I've purchased (8) products since joining the challenge
- I replaced (1) staple product

I currently have (69) products in my stash so I would say i'm on track for using up/selling/or thrown out ONLY 1/4 of my stash. If I can use up 50 percent by the end of the year i'll be happy. I have a few products that are almost empty so using those up will be my goal after I relax my hair and start co-washing more.

That's an excellent start. I think you will definitely get there by year's end.

It's been very difficult using up my older products because I pretty much established staple products and because they work so well, I hardly use the older items and I don't want to sell any more either:blush:. I've got some work to do with those conditioners and oils...thinking lot's of HOT's and co-washes:spinning:

I will purchase the Uncle Harry's Herbal Coconut Oil again for sure. :yep:

I'm not too crazy about the Nubian Heritage EVOO & Moringa Repair & Extend Butter (I think its the smell). I prefer Jane Carter Nourish & Shine, its smoother and seals much better, but I don't prefer the price. I got it when it was on sale at Whole Foods.

I like Goddess Curls as a good light hold gel, I don't like it better than Kiss My Face Upper Management.

Thanks ... that was helpful.
 
Going to leave my hair out for the rest of this challenge (meaning not wigging it for 3 weeks) but half wigging or wearing my hair out. I definitely think I can dig in my stash better. Come September 1st, I gotta do what a gals got to do! Wigging it!
 
Used up Live Clean Argan Deep Conditioning Mask.

Tomorrow I will use up a sample size of Komaza Care Califia Pudding and Desert Essence Coconut Conditioner (1 left).

I turned my Komaza califia moisturizer and hemp seed oil over to get that last little corner out. I am going to miss that oil. My rice bran oil seems greasier, hemp has more slip. In spite of the fact I want to use up some stuff, I like to be thrifty with my expensive products.

Can't decide if I am going to try my Claudie's reconstructor or keep using the MD coconut mask so that I can use it up this August?
 
Used up Jane Carter Nourish & Shine on my ends last night. I love it, but don't want to pay full price for it. I will only purchase it if its on sale.

Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1 is gone, well at least the bottle is. I mixed the last 1oz with another moisturizer.

ApHogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor is gone too, went ahead and mixed it with my DC for Friday.

Aussie 3 min miracle is also gone, mixed it with my DC for today. Wanted to make sure it had enough moisture in the mix since I just done a protein treatment.

^^Now if ORS Edge Control and ApHogee Shampoo follow suit I would be sooo happy and feel good for this session.
 
Used up one bottle of AO GPB con and am almost done with a bottle of TJ's Nourish Spa.

Leaves 4 bottles of TJs and 5 bottles of AO GPB.

I'll use a lot of my oils to soak my cuticles as I plan to start painting my nails at home.

I didn't use anything up tonight but I did cowash and use some things. Tonight I used the AO White Camellia for a DC, its probably 1/2 full now. I cowashed with Deva Curl One and used it as a leave-in. I only have 1/2 of a 32 oz bottle left. I then twisted my hair up with KCCC. Now that my hair is more hydrated it may actually work. I only have about 1/8 of a jar of that left.

I must be in a good place with my products because i don't really want to use anything up.

I may throw out the Taliah Waajid Mist Bodifier. No matter how many times I have used it, I swear it doesn't seem to do anything besides smell good :ohwell:
 
Dont feel bad I havent used up anything either. I just opened up my B&B Creme de Coco condish tonight ill be using it as my predeepoo condish along with my oils and honey. And tomorrow I get to try a new dc BWC moisture plus condish im gonna try it on its own so I can see how good it is, its 16oz so I hope I love it:)

I'm going to drive up this weekend and check out your stash. You have some good tempting conditioners :lick:
 
The bronners hair show is soon and im absolutely sick that I cant go. Next year ill be prepared half my stash will be gone and cash in hand:)
 
I would not be using up anything this weekend/upcoming week.

ETA: Checked my conditioners in the bathroom and I lied :lol:. I have less than a third left in my detangling conditioner so I will probably use that up detangling tomorrow.

I'm going to buy some Trader Joes Tea Tree condish to see if I would like it as a co wash condish. It will replace the AO GPB I used up.
