Returning to post pics of my stash. I organize my stash in rows so that I can see what I have and what I need. Shampoos are in one row, Conditioners in another. There is a row for pomades and stylers etc. The second pic shows products on top of my sink that are currently in my rotation. I need this group to be accoutable as I would really like to focus on finalizing my shampoo routine in particular. I buy everything under the sun like an addict .

Lisaaa Bonet, is that a tin of Rosebud salve? I'll have to let my mama know other people are still using it.

 

[BEAUTYU2U]

I'm failing this challenge miserably. I need to get rid of this stuff!

 

[Aggie]

I used up a sample each of keracare High Sheen Glossifier and a Keracare Edge Tamer and I them both. The Edge Tamer I already have in a 4oz jar but I need to get the jarof the other one as well.

So, its getting pretty warm in GA. So as of Sunday I will only be using Glycerin Based Leave In's/moisturizers until the end of summer. So all of my Leave In's and Moisturizers I have on my updated list will have to wait to be used until then. From here on out I will strictly focus on DC's, oils, and stylers . I will be storing away all of my leaves in that are open in the fridge of in a dark closed cabinet. I will at some point update my list to include my glycerin based products.

i gave a few products away today, to my new supervisor (who is on a hhj)
i gave her:
Aveeno Nourish leave in treatment
SM restructive elixir and
Bee mine moisture mist
i need to update ive gotten rid of over 30 products in the last 6 months

 

[HeChangedMyName]

Oh man, this is JUST what I need. I was just thinking of a use your stash challenge. I'll need the remainder of phase 1 and want to be included in phase 2. I will post my stash today some time. I feel soooo ashamed. I keep buying stuff. I have a problem, I need help. Hair products and vitamin and supplement things just intrigue me.

Although this is for hair. I will add all my pills in too in a separate list. I'll have to collect everything from the hiding places first.

It is my goal to have minimum items once i'm done and just have my staple items.

oooo, i hadn't even considered the prosect of giving things away. I know a few people who are either transitioning or newly natural who would love to try some products without having to buy them. yeahhhh. thanks.

 

[xu93texas]

I finally used something up! Organic camellia oil is gone.

 

[Ogoma]

Used up Oyin Hair Dew; opened up PBN Sapote Lotion.

 

[xu93texas]

I'm done with DM Super Buttercreme.

 

[Angel of the North]

Used up one of the Dr Organics Tea Tree Con and Bee Mine Bee.u.ti.ful Sample, I'm still undecided about the Bee.u.ti.ful, but I like it enough to repurchase and try it over a period of time.

 

[faithVA]

Wash day yesterday. Didn't use anything up but close. Used the 4 Naturals Conditioner. Probably 1/2 bottle left. I'm almost out of my AO Blue Chamomile I will hold on repurchasing until I use up some of the conditioners I have. Used the As I Am leave-in. And sealed with Avocado oil. Almost done with this bottle. Use it mostly on my face. Sealed my ends with Qhemet pomade. Finger coiled my hair with the Komaza Coconut Curl Cream. I only have 1 tsp of that left. Will use it up when I twist my hair again.

I received the curl luv(sp) box. So I received 8 more samples to add to my sample list. Fortunately most of those are conditioners and stylers.

I am going to try to keep my hair in finger coils for the next 15 weeks, so I won't be buying too much product. I want to try a new DC. And I will buy the Deva Curl One when I get a coupon. I'm good with everything else right now.

 

[xu93texas]

I used up the last of Sukesh Ayurveda from HennaSooq.

I bought Komazacare Matani leave-in conditioner, Aloe My Hair leave in, and Califia Moisturizing Spray. (love all of these so far!)

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

xu93texas

Komazacare is awesome.

 

[xu93texas]

@xu93texas

Komazacare is awesome.

Girl, you got that right! I have to thank you and justgrowalready for the positive reviews. That Califia Moisturizing spray is awesome! I'm almost 11 weeks post and my ng feels so moisturized. I alternate the leave-ins for the LOC method every night:

Liquid: Califia Moisturizing spray
Oil: Burt Bee's Baby Nourishing oil
Cream: alternate between Matani leave in and Aloe My Hair leave in

In the mornings, I just apply my Peppermint Pomade mixture to my edges/nape and spritz a little Califia moisturizing spray, plop on my wig and go. Love it!!

xu93texas

I the aloe my hair leave in and aloe my hair moisturizing cream are heaven sent on frreshly washed hair. Also that califia leave in....LAWD! Its one of my HG Leave's. I need a full size of the Aloe My Hair Moisturizing Spray, the stuff is delicious.

 

[lamaria211]

used up SE cholesterol

 

[xu93texas]

I used up the last of Cocoveda oil and vit.E oil.

 

[faithVA]

Used up the sample size of the Komaza Coconut Curl Pudding.

 

[GrowAHead]

Used up coconut oil, a vitamin e oil, and a JB castor oil. I can see the bottom of the almond oil! hopefully it'll be done next week if I do another oil prepoo! Also getting low on the oyin greg juice so that'll be gone soon also!

 

[faithVA]

Wash day yesterday and today.

Used sample of Farasues Clarifying Shampoo. Put it in the giveaway box. I may need a sulfate shampoo but I think my mom has some Elasta something under the sink. I will probably just stick to my mudwash though.

Used the sample of Farasues Clarifying Conditioner. Used the whole bottle.

Finished up the Qhemet Egyptian Shampoo.

I have less than 1 use of the Komaza Conditioner.

Used 1/2 of the sample of SDOTBeauty Conditioner.

Will try to use up the Qhemet Pomade but will probably still have 1 or 2 uses less.

Was going to use up the ION Extreme Care but will do protein next week.

Decided to try the Nubian Heritage Growth & Strengthen Treatment Masque as the (C) of the LOC method. It also says I can use it as a leave-in but since I don't have a moisturizer going to give it a try.

Received my two bottles of Deva Curl but will hold on cowashing for right now.

 

[faithVA]

I'm going to give away the Nubian Heritage Growth & Strength. I have given it enough tries so I'm done with it. I'm also going to give away the rest of the Qhemet Amla Pomade. It was just a sample but I think someone else could benefit from it. It isn't doing anything for my ends. And I think they break more when I try to put it on. I may end up doing the same with the nourish and shine. My hair is just too curly for things that don't go on easily.

 

[Kindheart]

I finished jane Carter "hydrating shampoo" .

I won't repurchase as it slightly stripped my hair and didn't get my hair clean.
I started using my second bottle of L'Erbolario tiare' shampoo ,smells amazing (monoi) ,cleans well and leaves my hair soft .

^^That's pretty good lamaria. I was expecting your list to be much longer.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Used Up:

1 Komazacare Califia Spray
1 Silk Dreams Chocolate Bliss


I will be starting on the BASK Cacao Bark and Y.A.M Nectar DC's (will be mixing them). I already opened one of my back-ups for the Califia . I stay stocked with this stuff .

 

[faithVA]

Hair washing day. Was able to use up quite a few things.

Did a protein treatment with the ION Extreme Care. Finished up the last of the Olive Moisture Mask Conditioner. Used up the Avocado oil. Will try to use up the SDOT Beauty Conditioner. Will use it as a leave-in. Will use up the Afro Stretch Cream. Found out using a cream on my ends works wonders. Works better than oils or butter.

41. Avocado Oil

 

[xu93texas]

I'm giving away Elasta QP Design Silk, ORS Replenishing conditioner, SE Megasilk Heat Protection Spray, and a tub of blue Eco Styler gel to my sister and niece.
