List what you plan to use this month.

I used up the Coconut Water Cleansing Condish. I will be using the Renpure Argan Oil Shampoo I purchased from the store as my cleanser. I'm back on shampoo, my hair responds much better when it's cleansed with shampoo.
 
So I was surpisingly consistent in September but I still have:
-1/2 liter of Giovanni 50/50 DC (definite a repurchase)
-Garnier Fructis 3-minute undo

I will continue working on these in October. I used up the last of my Eden Bodyworks Jojoba Monoi DC. I realize that I need to repurchase this for mixing with henna and other Ayurvdic powder treatments. I mixed the last of it with some Irish moss and aloe vera powders the other day. Hair feels nice and strong but moisturized too.

I have some Nubian Heritage DCs I need to use up this month and some Shea Moisture yucca & baobab volumizing conditioner. Also SM raw shea butter moisture retention poo (2 bottles).
 
Why did I already think I posted here ? Maybe I drumt it. Oh well this will be a great little 'mini' use up your stash for me, even though that end is so far away ..... :crybaby:

I have been using PYT deep treatment and the pyt argan oil. I got it dirt cheap a couple months ago on groupon and it's a winner.
 
Just took down my Havana twists. Used Better Braids Unbraid and take down with finger detangling went without a hitch.

V05 kiwi clarifying shampoo and redken conditioner(too lazy to find out the name.)

Clairol gray solutions rich dark brown semipermanent color. Colors stubborn grays without any drama.

Apogee green tea reconstructor spray. A little protein for strength since I'm reinstalling twists.

Annabelle's cream for moisture.

Hair tied up to air dry.

Havana twists to be reinstalled with Cuban twist hair 24", #2. First time use, very excited. Will use a heavier oil and Gorilla glue for a nearly professional finish. Use rubber bands by the way. Have not noticed any damage.

I maintain strength and moisture with NB Follicle spray (so many tantalizing ingredients) and parnevu braid spray with tea oil.

Usually wear up in a bun, paying close attention not to pull on edges.

I work out around four times a week. They stay fresh for around three or four weeks. A simple redo of the edges would easily carry me another three weeks, but I choose to wash and pamper my hair and rebraid using the same hair.
 
Everyones Use-up list seems a lot longer than mine. I can't seem to use up products that fast.

Question: How many uses do you guys get out of a 8oz jar/bottle of Deep Conditioner? Conditioner? Liquid Leave-in? Moisturizer? Oil? Butter?
Post Question: And how long/thick is your hair?


For me:
Deep Conditioner: 4-6
Conditioner (Cowash): 3-4
Liquid Leave In: 16+
Moisturizer: 6-8
Oil: 16+
Butter: 32+

I am around APL when straight thick natural.

@morgandenae A lot of the products I list are already used or on it's last leg. Plus I keep my product stash really light, go product shopping quarterly with the seasons and only repurchase if absolutlely needed in between.

However, I'm nearing crackin length :evillaugh: and conditoners don't stand a chance with my hair, so I go through those like water. I get around 3 uses from my pre-poo conditioners as well as 3 from my Deep conditioners...well there is usually a small amount of DC left after the 3rd use so I mix it with a random conditioner that I didnt like as much, some silk amino acids and some argan oil then work it on out. lol

Oh and my pre-poo conditioners are 12 ounces and I usually buy 16 ounce deep conditioners if I can. All other products in my stash like leave-in's, shampoo's & moisturizers last for.ev.vah. lol
 
Thank you for answering @lulu97 ! I was curious as to how fast others went through products especially people like you with tons of long pretty hair :love:
I can't even put a dent in my stash, and it's spreading like wild fire :couchfire:. I should willpower myself into quarterly hauls.
 
Used up a jar of My Honey Child's Old Fashioned Hair Grease. Have 1 back up.

Still using HH Moisture Rizer and a little Hot Six Oil to flat twist out. Made a nice dent, trying to use this up soon.

This "Monthly" Thread is keeping me focused on getting to and using some of the older products in my Stash.

It's been very helpful and will help me rotate things better.

I am not one to have 50-11 things open at once, so I don't have any real concerns there.

My main concern moving forward, will be heavily on rotating things that have sat a while.

Awesome!

Guuuurl, that's me...50-11 things open at one time! That's why I started this monthly thing to get focused...and it has helped me tremendously. I do get tempted to reach for other things but I smack my hand to get refocused :rofl:
