Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 3

[B_Phlyy]

Session 3
Session 3 - Sept. 1, 2012 - December 31, 2012


1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge?
I have been absolutely ridiculous with my PJism since being on this board. I have been in some type of Use It Up challenge since 2007. That is a daggone shame. But this time I'm serious. I have been pretty consistent with certain staples and at this point I truly am tired of band wagon hopping and buying products in bulk when I don't even know if it works.

2. List the products you hope to use up in your stash. Use your own categories.

3. Post a Pic of your "Stash". (Optional)
See below. The main things I didn't post pics of were the oils and styler products. Those are also usually the things that take me longest to get rid oferplexed

4. What are your goal(s) for the session
Use up all the samples. Shouldn't be hard, but could because they are pretty good sized and I could get a couple of uses out of it.

I also really, really, REALLY want to get down to my just my staples. I'm a color treated natural and know exactly what I can and cant't use to care for my hair and when I can and can not use it. I'm pretty much in autopilot with my regimen and I need my product stash to reflect that.

I'm hoping that by the time Black Friday comes around, I will be able to just replace staples in bulk and continue with that into the new year. Then I won't have to keep joining these use up challenges because I'll know exactly when I need to replace something.

 

[NikkiQ]

I'll be going home to the states in 2 weeks and I do plan on buying a few products while I'm there that I can't get here. Mostly DCs. So my product list will grow

Sent from my Android...Boom.

 

[faithVA]

KCCC flaked on me for the first time So will have to cowash tonight. I want to use up the rest of the KCCC so I will try it again with a different leave-in.

 

[lamaria211]

I don't feel like listing my stash again so ill post pics
I've got maybe 2-3 uses left of Kera Minerals DC I'm going to mix it with B&B Cream de Coco condish cause its not that great a conditioner when those two are gone I'm gonna start working on my Aussie products

 

[NikkiQ]

Hot damn! Used up my John Frieda condish today!

 

[JJamiah]

This month I am behaving. Next month I need to reorder Henna Nupur 2 large 500gm, and I am going to invest in a Large professional Cheapy Conditioner gallon for about $6-$8 so I don't have to stock up on VO5.

 

[faithVA]

I've decided in the future to mix my gels and creams to have a less firm hold. Gels make my hair too stiff. So I threw out the little bit of KCCC I had.

I'm playing around with mixing unpetroleum jelly with AVG to see if I can make a sealant.

And I'm wondering if when I make the Kimmay Tube leave-in, if I'm not applying enough. I definitely wasn't making it right So made the kimmay tube leave-in with the Giovanni Direct. Going to apply it while wet, sit under my heat cap and then reapply it. Let's see if that makes a difference.

I love having a strategy.

 

[Ogoma]

Returned Herbal Essences Set Me Up Gel and Leave Clean Argan Oil Conditioning Spray. I have quite a few gels and leave-ins to go through before I get to them. I can get them very easily so I will pick them up when I have used up what I have now.

I apply my leave in twice in wash days once right after I rinse out my DC then again when my hair is close to being dry that's also when I seal

Thanks. I'm trying it now. I can't wait until it's close to dry to reapply because I wash at night and it takes hours to dry. But I did apply it, use my heat cap, then applied it again and twisted it up. I put on a lot more tonight.

 

[Lanea87]

Someone please talk me off the ledge this Nubian Heritage sale is screaming my first and last name

Girl you don't need that stuff. You have plenty of other products that are better in your own stash already. Buy your little one a new toy or outfit or something instead. Or save up for a body massage. Walk away, walk away. You aren't missing anything.

lamaria211. I am coming to look into your stash lol....hehehehe



Tonight I am prepping my hair for wash day. I think next week I need to get it braided up.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

JJamiah I am still in shock that u cut from HL to APL gradually this yr. and I'm over here mad I have to keep trimming my ends away 2-4" here and there lingering around waist length, LOL.

I'd rather save up for a nice Curl Junkie haul one day!

 

[Ogoma]

I am about to throw out this ORS Edge Control. Wherever it touches, itches.

 

[JJamiah]

@JJamiah I am still in shock that u cut from HL to APL gradually this yr. and I'm over here mad I have to keep trimming my ends away 2-4" here and there lingering around waist length, LOL.

It was actually touching my Tailbone (I told the Mr. now I can tickle my booty crack, TMI, I know) LOL

shopaholic all honesty I am glad it is gone. I fuss less with it, fight less with it. I was telling one of the members today, I wonder what took so long to cut it. I think SUPER long (which those lengths are to me) is not for me. I feel MBL-Whip is as long as this gal wants to get. I don't want to manage so much hair. I comb and then have to reangle my arms to get it further down.

Healthy and MBL-Whip Length hair and I will be happy
Your hair is beautiful too I see your pictures and you definitely have hair to be envious of Beautiful hair madam.

 

[Ogoma]

Used up:

TJ TTTT (5 left)
TJ Nourish Spa
KMF UMG (2 left)

 

[lamaria211]

Nairobi hair lotion either I'm giving it away or its going in the trash today!

 

[B_Phlyy]

Used up my Fall Fight shampoo sample and but a significant dent in an Eco Styler Gel. It should be done tomorrow.

 

[Angelinhell]

Purchased razac leave in conditioner yesterday. It seems to be pretty good, I think I used too much though.

My mom was talking to this lady about hair and told her I had lots of Keracare products(I soooo don't, all I have is a liter of the shampoo,5lb humecto, and the leave in), now she wants to buy them from me......those are my staples though(although it would give me an excuse to purchase new products)

 

[JJamiah]

OKay so I washed my hair.... with WEN Vanilla Mint and..... I am not impressed tis far HUH! hope my next run is better with it.
