I used a pass and bought Aussie Moist Conditioner. It was on sale at CVS. I also bought a braid spray that I am iffy about because it ha some -cones. Do you all use braid sprays with cones in them for braid extensions/hair?

@lamaria211 did these work on your natural hair or do you find these are staples since you texlaxed? Do you notice a big difference in how your hair reponds to products? Are there any you loved before that you hate now and vice versa?

How is Wen 613 different from other Wen products?

I wanna know too! @JJamiah and any other 613 lovers?


I finally used up something LOL--CON professional liter size and restocked EVCO bc I ran out of that. Ironically, I had to go on a work trip for a week and learned by accident my hair must not like EVCO as much as I thought....I only took jojoba oil on my trip as a sealant and my hair has been buttery soft! Unfortunately jojoba oil is not cheap lol.

 

[KiWiStyle]

I'm on a roll! October was my best month for using up my stash. This morning I used up my Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum! I will be co-washing a lot over the next two months so I will be emptying conditioners left and right?

 

[KiWiStyle]

I sold two bottles of TJ Nourish Spa Conditioner. I used up my grapeseed oil. I'll be done with this Eco-styler gel in two more days.

@xu93dtexas you didn't like the TJ Nourish Spa?? I this stuff!! On my next visit I will be stocking up on it because it's soo cheap and makes my cw'd hair feel awesome!

 

[lamaria211]

Leslie_C these products work on my natural and texlaxed hair they have always been my favs I'm just a PJ and was always looking for something better! But I recently tried something that was like putting Elmers glue in my hair and I'm DONE! I'm only buying my staples from now on. Only products I'll rotate and experiment with are Dcs

 

[faithVA]

Decided to wash today. Finally finished up that stinky burt bees DC.

Keeping it simple tonight, Washed with As I Am Cowash Cleanser, DCd with AO Blue Chamomile, sealed with grapeseed/sunflower oil and used Komaza Care Leave-in.

Let's see what I can use up next.

 

[Angelinhell]

Chi shine infusion gone.

613 is different from the other Wen products. Yet, all Wen flavors offer differences as well. 613 is the premium of this already premium line. It is a cleansing treatment that can be used daily. Different Herbal Essence have different qualities in which some will favor one more than the other. I favor 613 because of it's moisturizing and melting capabilities and how well my hair behaves after using. If I had my choice to choose any of Chaz items 613 would be it.

 

[JJamiah]

In sporadically, I have no Internet, phone or electricity. Using the sirs IPad which is the only thing with service... No cells r working..... No damage done so I can't complain. I hope all of u are well.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I have been in a funk with my hair lately due to being crazy busy at school. I could have used up more, but doing my hair was always an after thought.

Anyway, I used up

Silk Elements Mega Silk Moisturizing Treatment
Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter Moisturizing Conditioner
Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Mask

I also got rid of a sample of Garnier Fall Fight conditioner.

 

[lamaria211]

not liking Kinky Curly knot today at all. i may give it another try as a moisturizer but i think it might end up being a gift

 

[Kindheart]

Why don't you like it? I never tried it before but was thinking about it.

 

[xu93texas]

KiWiStyle, I went a little overboard with cowash conditioners after my BC. Since my hair is so short, it takes a while to get through products. Also, my TWA seems to like everything, therefore I don't see any difference with TJ Nourish Spa and other conditioners I can get from my local bss and/or Target or Walmart. (The closest TJ is about 30 miles from my home, not worth the trip at this time.)

 

[Kindheart]

I m not finishing anything at the moment ,havent washed my hair in a week
Eta i m using African Pride shea butter moisturizer ,its not bad

 

[JJamiah]

I don't like it either. Will use it up... No repurchase

I feel you there. I have several TJ's on my daily route, actually I have everything on my daily route, LOL! I just relaxed and will be CW'ing like crazy until my NG tells me to back off.

 

[Keishadt]

Used up AO Daily Cream Rinse. Used it as a cowash tonight. I'll do a full update on my stash later.
