Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 2

[faithVA]

Im having trouble picking out a DC for next wash day, so far it out of:
Kera Minerals DC by Silk Elements
Elasta QP Intense Fortifying Treatment
Kera Pro Restorative Treatment
Aussie 3min &
Nexxus Humectress

Go for the Kera Minerals DC unless you need some fortification. Then go for the Kera Pro Restorative.

My updated stash--I have added some things that I purchased. I did not add any samples to this. Sample purchases are just to help me figure things out.

 

[JJamiah]

I will be doing another Henna this week. My front edges didn't take as well. My nupur will be here soon, yet I will attempt to use the Karishma. I definitely won't repurchase.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Used up a sample of Tresemme Split Remedy Split End shampoo. I really liked it. The sample lasted me 2 weeks with twice weekly washing. If I ever go back to using sulfate based shampoos, I'd definitely look into getting it.

 

[greenandchic]

I used my henna and indigo Saturday/Sunday, but those are staples. I probably won't purchase again for a few weeks.

I love my Hairitage Hydration products - a lot. They may end up staples.

I also really like the broccoli oil. It offers a lot of slip when added to conditioners and mega shine used as a sealer. That might replace another oil of mine as a staple.

No more new/non-staple purchases for a at least a month or until the end of this session.

This Weekend I am Gelling up my hair and smacking a phony pony on

I have to find a store that sells the Nupur, I have seen people get it for $2 - $3

[Kindheart]

If I just didnt CW my hair you would be correct . I CW less than an hour ago.....

How about moisturizing and sealing ? That relaxes me for some reason lol

 

[Lanea87]

Yea Im about to do that, im sitting here with the T-Shirt still wrapped around my head....
I just need to get up off this comp LOL

 

[Keishadt]

I caved and bought the Keracare cleansing cream. Used the Liquid Keratin kit. My AO HSR is on it's last leg.

 

[lamaria211]

I want to try Henna but I'm not really sure what it does for the hair @jjamaiah I need you

 

[faithVA]

Ok ladies that were formerly known as product junkies - I am a 4b, natural, medium strand, medium density, low porosity chick. As long as I have been natural I have never had a good leave-in. Any recommendations? Preference would be something I can get on the ground. But I would consider others.

I currently have no real leave-ins in my stash or as a staple.

 

[lamaria211]

faithVA have you ever tried
Giovanni direct or
As I am leave in or
Aveeno Nourishing Treatment leave in or
Kinky Curly Knot Today or
Silk Elements leave in cream I like all of those I think my favorites are the Aveeno n the SE but I realty like them all

 

[faithVA]

Thanks lamaria211. You can just whip names off huh?

The only one I have tried is the Knot Today. I didn't like it when I tried it but was still new to the game. It's worth another shot.

I will definitely look into these and give one of them a shot. I may start with the Giovanni since I can get my hands on it quickly.

 

[Lanea87]

Also try out the GVP The Conditioner (Paul Mitchell), I love it. Plus if you dont like it you can return it, right?

 

[JJamiah]

I bought some V05 today I don't want to waste my DC on washing this Henna out.

So My hair has the Henna on it right now. I will wash this out at 3pm then DC.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I have a small amount Giovonni SAS conditioner left not sure if I want to add it to my staples I really like it but how many comb out conditioners does one need, especially when they come in liter size or larger. That Joico Silk Results shampoo will get used up by my DS cause that crap is not coming nowhere near my hair again! I was wondering why a 10oz product was still hanging around, cause it was a hot mess the first go round.

 

[faithVA]

Also try out the GVP The Conditioner (Paul Mitchell), I love it. Plus if you dont like it you can return it, right?

Thanks. I think it has cones though.
