Use Up Your Stash Challenge 2011

[JJamiah]

With all that hair does it matter if you are light handed. It looks like it would take at least 1/4 of a bottle of a conditioner to do your hair.

When we finish the 1st leg of this challenge I really think we will feel so much better and we will appreciate our products much much more.

LOL well because I wash weekly, I don't use up too much. I have managed to get 6-8 uses out of a 16 oz of DC. LOL I am pretty light handed. LOL so it will last me about 2 months. Smaller containers less. So The WEN I had was 2 oz. I only get 2 uses out of it and I am pretty light handed with it as well oh well.

Definitely I appreciate my products. Unfortunately Slimming down on my products I feel like biting my nails LOL

 

[faithVA]

I did with my EVOO and Safflower, I mean why not I just mix it with my DC so who cares

I like your answer better. Technically I now only have 1 bottle instead of 2.

Ok so I combined the Suave Conditioner with that ugh Suave Shea Butter Conditioner. Maybe I will like it better together.

And I used up the CD Mimosa Hair Honey. That only leaves 2 CD products to use up. The hair balm and the Loc Butter. MY CD excitement is ovah.

 

[Lanea87]

I feel that I aint moving anywhere with these products....its too much in every bottle LOL.

On first glance I thought this was kitty litter. What do I know.

Thanks for sharing your stash. I think what is bad, is I can look at the pictures of your stash and even without a close up, I can name them and tell you where to buy them. That's ridiculous. If I was that knowledgeable in any other subject they would call me a specialist and I would be making some money.

I like the way you listed the items just for the 1st session. I should have done that.

Well happy friday and enjoy the challenge.

Wow
But some ppl (including me ) use horses stuff, vaginal cream, whale sperm and silk worm conditionner in their hair maybe kitty litter is next.

Kitty Litter - probably a great clarifier

And don't forget breast milk. I know there may be some others. I love this board. So much to learn ... and so much creativity.

YoursTrulyRE, your stash is really dwindling down. If you aren't done by June, you will be very close.

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

@YoursTrulyRE, your stash is really dwindling down. If you aren't done by June, you will be very close.

Thanks!! I'm actually able to fit all my hair products under my bathroom sink (used to be in the bathroom and in the kitchen).

I think the hardest products for me to use up will be the Joico K-pak stuff.

I've been trying to sell and/or trade SOOOO if any of you ladies want to trade or know anyone that wants some Joico K-pak you know where to find it :wink2:

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished up my bottle of multivitamins. Good riddance, those things were gross.

I'm actually able to fit all my hair products under my bathroom sink (used to be in the bathroom and in the kitchen).

I am looking forward to that. It's not too bad. I can fit everything on 1 shelf but I'm a little anal so the shampoos have to be in 1 row, the conditioners, the DCs, etc.

So my goal is to have them fit and be organized

What we will do for our hair.

 

[NikkiQ]

Why if the empty bottle is in the trash.....?

b/c the bottle may be gone but the product is still there...just in another bottle. no loopholes here young lady! lol

 

[faithVA]

Well there was no official rule. One said no and another yes. So I picked the yes.

In the long run it won't matter because I still want to get rid of it. But it made space on my shelf. So I kept the bottle on the list that corresponds to the bottle on the shelf.

 

[coyacoy]

finished off a bottle of Aussie Moist condish today! whoo-hoo! loving this challenge......

 

[che1219]

Finished a hair one cleansing conditioner.

:woohoo: celebrating with you.

Fantastic che1219. How was the Hair One Cleansing Conditioner? Did you like it? Would you repurchase?

 

[JJamiah]

I love Hair One Olive Oil. The rest were Meh.... But that one was the one that stood out for me. I am now using Wen and Hair one Olive oil (Use on finish it and then use another) I am going to treat myself eventually to Wen Fig because I am dying to try it due to peoples review of it going to be more Moisturizing.

Hair One Olive Oil used correctly is pretty good. I say used correctly because it took me a month to do so LOL

 

[che1219]

Fantastic @che1219. How was the Hair One Cleansing Conditioner? Did you like it? Would you repurchase?

I love the hair one cleansing conditioner, especially the olive. I have one more left and I have the argan one, but haven't used that one yet. I would definitely purchase again in the near future.

 

[Lanea87]

- I'm just kidding.

I wish, if I wasnt so broke I would drop everything in the toilet and tub just so I could go buy something. But na cant do it, need to get my monies worth. I miss hair shopping, I havent and wont be using my passes cause I go enough stuff....

 

[Lanea87]

b/c the bottle may be gone but the product is still there...just in another bottle. no loopholes here young lady! lol

You wouldnt have known unless I just told you.

Example: I premix my DC's for the upcoming DC, so say I have a tbsp left of EVOO that I used and added to my DC but that was the last little bit in that actual bottle, I cant cross that off the list even though it really already gone? Its not technically oil anymore its oil that mixed with the DC LOL!

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

Found my receipt for Ulta and returned 4 Joico packs. So I'm down to 6 of each now.

There wasn't a rule on this so like you said, if we don't know we don't know. So go ahead and cross it off. If I had 1 more use of 1 conditioner and 4 more of another and I mix them, I still have 5 more uses so I can't cross the 2nd one off any faster. But it sure does free up shelf space.

Go ahead YoursTrulyRE. You are on a mission girl.

 

[faithVA]

I straightened my hair for a length check yesterday. So I used up the remainder of the CD hair balm to press my hair. It worked wonderfully for pressing my hair.

I am down to a 1/2 to 1/4 of the container for a lot of things. May is going to be a good month for using some stuff up.

And this is exactly what I need some free space.....

 

[Lanea87]

Cowashed with ApHogee 2 min..... I hope to only have at least 2 more uses out of that bottle. Its getting hotter so maybe I can knock some of my cowashers out the way. Imma try to start doing it daily or every other. Once I am done with school I am going to start running/walking in the morning andI dont want sweaty stinky hair.
