[Ogoma]

- Tresemme Naturals used up

 

[lamaria211]

I'm going to have to use my Wen to CW tomorrow to get that V05 crap out of my hair. I took the big bottle back to the store today and ended up getting HE hello hydration

 

[lovestarr]

Moving in with my boyfriend when my lease is up in April and he commanded me to get rid of 75% of my 60+ product stash I finished up VO5 condish today One down!

Sent from my iPad using LHCF

 

[lovestarr]

Just used up suave tropical coconut to wash out henna

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Doing a reconstructive treatment right now with the Keracare Intensive Restorative Masque (So its now in progress).....I'll then follow up with my Tea rinse mixture and top that with the last of my Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk (It will then be officially gone, its a def. repurchase; I actually have some on its way to me right now ). Ill steam w/ the Tea/DC combo and then seal it in with the Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil Serum w/ Argan Oil (Almost gone). Ill then use it again to seal in my Leave In's and to M&S this week to finish it off. I think I will make my own mixture of this oil in the future. I've done it before and it worked just as well .

 

[JazzyOleBabe]

Finished As I Am leave in.

[Lita]

Used up most of my samples..Yea! I will only repurchase HG in Lg size.

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[faithVA]

Used up my Wen Pumpkin/Ginger sample. I don't like the tingling effect It worked better than the As I Am Cleanser but not as nice as the Hair One Olive Oil. My scalp and hair were clean but the shrinkage was a bit much. And it didn't have any slip, so I couldn't detangle with it. Think I have 2 more Wen samples left.

I am on my last use of the HydraTherma Naturals Moisturizing Conditioner.

Going to use Jane Carters Nourish and Shine as the oil in my LOC. And will sstyle with Jane Carters Curly Cream. I may be able to use this up tonight. If not then I will have 1 more use.

I will probably roll through most of the samples during the 1st quarter.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Ok so change of plans......While I like the Tropic Isle Living JBCO Serum w/ Argan oil, it can't touch my SSI Carrot Oil and Pumpkin Seed Defrizzer....AT ALL! So, I'll continue to use it to seal in my DC until its completely gone. I'll use the SSI Defrizzer to seal in my Leave in's and Ill try a new oil to seal my air dried hair this week, the Kinky Kurly Perfectly Polished Oil Blend (I want to go ahead and start using this).

M&S Products for this upcoming week:
Komazacare Califia Spray w/ added distilled water (Its very concentrated, so to stretch the product I dilute it)
DB Sweet Cocoa Bean Curl Smoothing Cream (I need to go ahead and finish this off, I will be repurchasing )
Kinky Kurly Perfectly Polished Oil Blend
Silk Dreams Mocha Bling Butter

DC for this week:
Komazacare Olive Moisture Mask

Leave Ins:
Distilled Water
Giovanni Vitapro Protective Moisture Leave In Treatment
Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk mixed w/ Bee Mine Luscious Balance Cream Moisturizer
SSI Carrot and Pumkin Seed Defrizzer
Phyto PhytoKeratine Serum only on my ends

 

[Lita]

Curly Kinks-Coil Renew Dc (GONE) NO repurchase..

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[faithVA]

I waited too late to wash my hair so I didn't end up putting coils in. I decided to just do a twist out for today. So instead of the Jane Carter Curling Cream I used my sample of Qhemet Honey Bush Tea Gel.

It lives up to its claims. It does not dry out the hair, flake or make the hair stiff. And my favorite is, that it isn't sticky at all. When I first took out my twist, I thought my hair was going to be stiff but my hair is nice and fluffy. Well as fluffy as she gets

I would really like to see how this works with a WNG but I don't have enough for that. Will add it to my wish list and maybe purchase it later.

 

[Kindheart]

I m doing good when it comes to conditioner and great for shampoos ...Moisturizers/butters are just impossible to finish...









I got more stuff but i plan on tackling this lot right here first

 

[Ogoma]

2 oz sample of the Monoi Butter blend. I used it more on my body than my hair. I am about to give up on butters for sealing and find a thick moisturizer. Butters leave my hair well-sealed, but greasy and I cannot be playing duck-all-hands every week.

My hair is the same way. Let me know what you find. I have a few samples as well. I will let you know if anything works well. I have found that if I put the greasiest item on first and then follow it by a creamy product it is not as greasy.

 

[Ogoma]

^^ Thanks. Will do.

Used up a Miss Jessie's SweetBack Treatment.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using LHCF

 

[lamaria211]

Won't be using up anything for at least a month. I just opened my La BOMBA deep treatment condish and I really like it. Its a good size jar so it'll probably last a while. I'm focusing in on my crece Pelo leave in cause I want to get it out of the way. Its good but it's definitely not a staple.

 

[xu93texas]

2 oz sample of the Monoi Butter blend. I used it more on my body than my hair. I am about to give up on butters for sealing and find a thick moisturizer. Butters leave my hair well-sealed, but greasy and I cannot be playing duck-all-hands every week.

I love thick moisturizers my favs are Elasta QP mango butter
Beautiful Textures moisture butter and Kerastase Sublimateur Jour.

Moving in with my boyfriend when my lease is up in April and he commanded me to get rid of 75% of my 60+ product stash I finished up VO5 condish today One down!

Man he aint right for that !!!!
Ha, I usually don't count the stash I keep at my BFs house.

I don't want just one of any of my products. Just want to greatly reduce my stash. 1/4-1/3 of my stay would make me very comfortable. 24 products in all.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using LHCF

Yeah me too, especially because I dont live in the states I stock up on my staples when there is a sale. My weakness is trying new products though.

But now that I have my staples, Im trying to cut down on the sampling of new products, at least until I finish the stash of "non staples"

 

[sky035]

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 .

You have a very small stash but I know how you feel.

 

[Angel of the North]

I've used up the half bottle of ORS and thrown away the Adornment 365 hair smoothie cos it smelt bad

 

[sky035]

You have a very small stash but I know how you feel.

FaithVa, this challenge helped me to decrease my stash, big time . I had 2 cupboards full 6 months ago . I gave some away, some of my mixes did not work due to my sensitivity to smells, and I used up a tonne of stuff while I was on a "no buy challenge".

Bye the end of the year I hope to keep my stash small with only HG products .

Happy Hair Growing!

Why does CR keep changing ingredients??? Is this her business model? Keep the customers guessing? Does she announce these changes? Are these changes an annual thing for her? I like the Curl Love Curl Milk and like that it is sold at aveyou, but I never know what I will get when I buy something from her. I don't understand her business model.

I am going to send her an email asking her if this is a one/two time change or if she plans to change the ingredients every year. I hope she can provide some insight.
