[BEAUTYU2U]

1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge?

- I did some experimenting and ended up with a bunch of non-staples.

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

- Shampoos
Ion Hard Water Shampoo (staple)
CV Conditioning Shampoo Bar

- Conditioners
Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk

- Deep Conditioners
Silk Dreams Mocha Silk

- Leave Ins/Moisturizers
Qhemet Biologics BRBC

- Oils & Essential Oils & Butters
Tropical Isle JBCO (staple)
Tropcal Isle EVCO (staple)
Hair Trigger Growth Elixir

4. What are your goal(s) for the session?

Mostly to stick to staple products, quit buying random stuff, and keep my hands out of my roommate's products. I feel like I have twice the products cause I'm dipping in hers After I finish these products up, I repurchase old staples Organix Coconut Milk shampoo, conditioner. I'll purchase Aphogee two-packs for deep conditioning, and re-up on my Tropical Isle oils. I just hate purchasing new products when I haven't finished old ones.

[xu93texas]

I just used the last of As I Am Coconut cowash and Cantu Shea butter deep treatment masque. I'm moving on to something else.

 

[Angel of the North]

I've updated my starting stash list on p.1, I'm editing and keeping track of my stash on I've given away the ORS olive oil moisturizer because it leaves my hair coated with the petrolatum that is in it, I've also given away the Lusters Pink oil moisturizer, I don't even know why I have that. I'm moving on to the Keracare naturals hair milk.

Updated list

 

[Ogoma]

Used up nothing this wash day. I bought AO GBP for a dash of protein when co-washing. CJ Repair Me is too expensive for me to co-wash with when I need a touch of protein.

Updated List:

Below is my list. The hope is that these products lasts until at least mid-year, but I will replace if need be as noted below.

HG- Holy Grail: will replace when I am about to run out
S - Staple: will replace if there is a very good sale AND I am about to run out of everything in that category.
T - Testing: trying to find a staple and/or holy grail moisturizer(s); will replace if it makes it to HG or S
U - Use up: priority use up; will not repurchase.

[Angel of the North]

I used up the half bottle of Alberto balsam intensive conditioner

GrowAHead That's an impressive stash

 

[SimJam]

^^^^^ wow thats some stash ^^^^^^

I just used up a HV whipped jelly. 2 back ups.
I must say this is an awesome challenge. Its got me focused on using up specific products in an organized manner.

Also carried 8 bottles of random conditioners and shampoos (store brands) which I no longer use to my parents house for their doggie. Heheeeee his hair is gonna be swanging! ! Hope it doesn't aggravate his eczema though.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 2 using LHCF

 

[lovestarr]

Just finished a bottle of AOHSR for my DC. I still have an unopened bottle. Thinking of making this my staple moisturizing DC but it goes so fast!! We will see once I run through the rest of my DCs.

 

[lamaria211]

GrowAHead I was embarrassed about my stash till you came up in here with the bss, the drug store and half of Sally's lol. Nice stash

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

DB Sweet Cocoa Bean Curl Smoothing Cream is gone.

 

[JJamiah]

You ladies are doing well using things up. lamaria211 I hope your not embarrassed. We are all here for the same reason. My stash is steep. I just have to remind myself of my goals.

Sent from my (SPH-L710) Galaxy III using LHCF

 

[faithVA]

It's wash day. Hope to use something up. My beloved Terressentials Mudwash is almost gone I will repurchase. Just not sure whether I will do so in Feburary or in March.

 

[GrowAHead]

GrowAHead I was embarrassed about my stash till you came up in here with the bss, the drug store and half of Sally's lol. Nice stash

haha!!!

Sad part is sometimes you don't realize how much ya got til you write it all down. I was pulling stuff out of cabinets that I forgot I had!! But hey... The first step is admitting you have a problem

 

[faithVA]

Used up the HydraThermal Naturals Moisturizing conditioner. Hope to use up Jane CArters Curl Defining Cream.

 

[lovestarr]

LOL SimJam. My BF is a mess!! He calls me a product hoarder! He asked me one day how would I know if certain products really work over time if I have so many...that's when I decided it's time for me to decide on some staples.

 

[lamaria211]

Used up Elasta QP mango butter. 2 back ups left

 

[sky035]

I used up a Revlon Professional Hair Cleanser today (Ive had this clarifying poo for almost a year). I agree with you JJ, we are all here to support each other. Nothing embarrasing about where we are starting from .

 

[JJamiah]

Used up Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner...

Sent from my Nexus 7 using LHCF

 

[faithVA]

Wash day. So have 1 more use of the Jane Carter Curling Cream and 2 uses left of the Jane Carter Nourish and Shine. They will be gone in January

I need to purchase a cleanser because I'm out. Maybe I will pick up Hair One Olive Oil this weekend.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

This wash day I used:

DC: Komazacare Olive Moisture Mask

its not great but its good enough to deep condition, so I'll used this a few more times until its gone.

Leaves Ins: Distilled Water, Jane Carter's Revitalizing Leave In, Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk mixed w/ Bee Mine Luscious Balance moisturizer, Phyto Phytokeratine Reparative serum (only on my ends), sealed with Gleau Oil

Next Weeks Products:

Leave Ins: ^^^same as above

DC: Souped Up KomazaCare Olive Moisture Mask :

I will be adding:

Olive, coconut, emu, avocado, wheat germ, rice bran, argan, rosemary (essential) and castor oil/ Honey/ Honeyquat/ & Glycerin.

Moisturizing and Sealing w/:

Komazacare Califia Moisturizing Spray with added distilled water
Silk & Honey Latté Detangling Hair Milk by BASK (I will be adding this to my "Use Up" list )
Gleau Oil
Silk Dreams Mocha Bling Butter on the last 2 to 3 inches of my hair
^^^Used in this order

I will also be alternating HH Jar of Joe and Hair Trigger for my daily scalp massages.

Good Luck on using up you stash ladies. You guys are doing awesome

 

[faithVA]

Realized this morning that I had missed twisting a patch of hair So used up some more of the Jane Carter Curling Cream. I don't have enough to coil my head next week so I will pair it up with one of the samples to start using it up. Will probably use the Deva Curl Arc Angel and pair that with some moisturizer to keep it my hair from drying out.

Glad I am not the only one struggling with that product. I love the scents so I really wanted it to work, but it is a no.

 

[Ogoma]

I will be using Oyin Honey Hemp to co-wash until it is used up. I love, love, love the performance, but I just cannot take the smell anymore. To me, it has a cloyingly sweet decaying smell.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Glad I am not the only one struggling with that product. I love the scents so I really wanted it to work, but it is a no.

I know....Its a real let down. Its not Bad, it just not great either. Its just ''ok''
