Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 2

I recently used up a litre size of Rusk conditioner and a wave nouveu smooth edges gel. I was also forced to throw away a 16 oz jar of a mix that I made which was begining to react badly as it left white goop that would not melt into my hair :nono:. My stash is reducing right before my eyes :yep:. I am also trying to extend this challenge to include my skincare products and makeup :yep:. We will see how that goes!
 
I have just a little of the Deva Curl Heaven in Hair Left. So the next time I cowash I will just massage that into my scalp as a prepoo.

Not sure what is next on my hit lists.

Before the end of this session will try to use up
1. KCCC
2. Terressentials lavender

That's probably all I will get through.
 
I m about to finish A Donna marie s detangler ,it actually works ok as a conditioner ,i honestly think its just a base with very little added to it ,i previously said it doesn t detangle well on dry hair,however ,on wet hair is quite good ,nothing amazing but good enough to detangle although it leaves my hair a bit dull.

Finished Vo5 strawberries con.
I m shedding quite alot since i stopped taking Hairfinity i need to do a tea rinse asap!

You and NikkiQ like to do a lot of spanking. Very concerning :lol:

Things were on sale so I had to buy it :yep:

I had a 15% off coupon for Sally's and As I Am products were a $1 off. So I bought the As I Am leave-in and the curly jelly.

Then :look: I was in Target and they had the Shea Moisture Purification Masque. I needed a new DC :yep: So I picked it up.

Then the Jane Carter stuff had a TEMPORARY price cut. You know how expensive that stuff is. So I got the curl defining cream for $11 and the leave-in for $7.

I promise I'm done for August and September :yep:
 
Just finished my Claudie's temple balm. Not sure if I will finish anything else. I am going to use my Claudie's scalp elixir. Might have to put Komaza muku butter on top cause it says to moisturize after use.
 
My megatek bottle is about 3/4 gone I'm going to use it to DC on dry hair tomorrow for about 30 mins then CW With HE LTR
 
I finished up the Deva Curl Heaven in Hair. I liked it but won't repurchase. Think the AO products work better for me. So I am going to try the Shea Moisture Purification Masque for a DC to see whether I will make that a staple DC or whether I will stick with the AO Blue Chamomile.
 
I just used my Wen 613 mist (i love this stiff) and I realize thar my bottle is 1/2 empty I WILL repurchase this before the month is out probably just order 3 more they only come in 4oz sizes:(
 
One more thing I'm going to cut out my midweek CoWash because I believe the less I do to my hair the better off my hair will ne but the problem now is what to do with my CW conditioner's? ? Any suggestions ladies? TIA
 
The Jane Carter Leave-In smells like a mix of furniture polish and bug spray. I don't
usually pay much attention to smell but that one is weird :lol:

And as a leave-in, um, my hair couldn't figure out what I was spraying on it. It must have smelled like bug spray to my hair as well. Maybe I need to use it on dry hair. I definitely wasn't able to detangle or do much else with my hair after using it. It didn't make my hair soft. I do want to see if it moisturizes my hair though. So I am going to try it on dry hair for the next few weeks to see if there is any difference.

If it doesn't work alone, I am going to try to mix it with some other things. Since the Giovanni Direct didn't work, going to mix it with that and maybe the Taliah Waajid. Maybe they will colloborate and make something special.

I did use the curl defining cream. Of course i didn't define my curls because i don't have any. But it did help my fro have some nice definition even after it dried and it kept it more stretched. Will see how good it looks in the morning.
 
This is what I have found so far, I will add as I go along.

==========================


I misted my hair this morning with the Jane Carter Leave-in. It felt good while it was wet. Nothing special. Definitely going to mix it with the Mist Bodifier and the Giovanni Direct to use them up.

No more gels for me. I have enough for the rest of the year. They will come in handy when I do my twists, whenever that happens :lol:
 
Ladies a little help please. I realize that my hair does not need to be CWd midweek to stay moisturized so I'm dropping that step out of my Reggie but now I need another way to use up the CWing conditioners that I have left.
Aussie Moist
HE LTR
Suave Almond n Shea
Tresemme Naturals
KeraPro Restorative condish? TIA

What will be your wash day regimen?

Can you use them to prepoo and to detangle?

Can you use them for your ends to keep them moisturized?
 
I think I like the Burt Bee's Preshampoo as a leave-in. It is nice and thick. It goes on better if I let my hair dry and mist it than if I put it on after I wash. The only thing is the tube is so small that it wouldn't last me long.

But I think it gives me an idea of the consistency I need. It's almost like a grease or a paste. The As I Am leave-in is similar so I will see if it works as well.

Let me check out the Burt Bee's ingredients. So far I like the Burt Bee products. Just per size they are pricey.

On Friday ill add my oil mix to my scalp which now contains garlic and onions. And then ill add a light coating of EVOCO to my hair and put on a plastic cap (with a few small holes I'm it) the next day i add my DC on top and do an All day DC (no heat) then rinse add my leave in and bun for about 5hrs til my hair is about 60-70% dry then I add a little bit more leave in and seal with an oil. This process keeps my hair moist for a week alone with daily m&s

In SistaSlicks 2nd book she mentioned that Aussie Moist and HE HH (so LTR should be also) are DC's. And I seen some ladies using the Suave as a DC. Post this in the DC Thread and see if the ladies have used them. You can alway doctor it up by adding oils, honey, and all that other stuff.

Used up some CON Argan Oil and Miss Jessie's samples.

CON Argan Oil Perfect Edges - Was greasy on my hands and made my edges hard. And didn't even keep them down all day. I had fuzzies everywhere. And it attracts dirt to the hair like locust. Did not like and will not buy.

CON Argan Oil Oil Treatment - Is your standard cone based serum. Was actually really good though. It smells nice and absorbed quickly. It felt heavy on my hand, but that's not a problem for me because I prefer thicker oils and serums. It would probably make a good sealant after moisturizing. I may invest in the full size in the future.

Miss Jessie's Curly Butter Cream - I was pleasantly surprised by this. It touted some superb claims about it's moisturizing abilities and I can attest that it lived up to the hype. I used it to refresh and moisturize my two day old puff and it actually was soft after I used it. I didn't like the minty scent of it though. I won't purchase the full size because I can get the same effects from something cheaper.
