[Bette Davis Eyes]

ALL

There is no way Im listing everything.

I plan to reduce my stash down to the lines I consistently use. Curls and Potions, Negesbanda, Qhemet Biologics, Product Junkie Naturals, Shescentit, Curl Origin and Nurcreations.

It seems like a lot of brands but I use deep conditioners like it was candy and I always rotate between these lines the most. I want to reduce the bulk of my products that I liked but didn't repurchase.

I have the bad habit of using a product 1/2 and leaving it. In the spring, I will be gifting some items locally. The only things that might happen is I am a brand ambassador to two lines so at times, I have to buy a few things to support.

4. Explain what system you will use to update your list (i.e., different colors/symbols to denote used/purchased items or items added from your current stash).

I almost exclusively use up my stash (I never really give stuff away) so I'll mark empties with red font and a strike through.


5. By the end of the challenge, what is the total number of products you hope to have in your stash.


I want use up 15-20 products in this first quarter.

 

[uofmpanther]

Used up an as I am leave in and a camille rose oil

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up my Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner. Good affordable option that's on the ground but not a repurchase at the moment.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Finished up my Melanin Haircare Leave-In. Definitely a staple for me as a prepoo.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Nothing else used up this month. Looking at my stash most of my bottles are pretty full. But I didn't buy anything either (or last month if I'm remembering correctly). Counting that as a win.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Bought Kreyol Essence Haitian Black Castor Oil - Rosemary Mint

 

[B_Phlyy]

I bought some stuff. And by some, I mean a lot. I don't feel bad either. I am going to get to it eventually.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Used up As I Am JBCO Cowash and TGIN Rose Water DC.

 

[uofmpanther]

Used up Castor oil and lemongrass leave-in. I bought 4 more leave-ins on sale because my son is now growing his hair and in my Stash.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Used up Camille Rose Whipped Butter Gel. A repurchase at some point in the future.

 

[jbwphoto1]

Am I the only one who looks at these lists and thinks, "Oh, I want to try that one!"

 

[B_Phlyy]

Finished up a deep conditioner the other day.

I kind of want to go get some hair dye as my grey is getting on my nerves.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up my Adwoa Beauty Baomint Oil, It's a good oil but I don't think I would repurchase it. I don't use oils that often and I prefer the Melanin oil which I can now get on the ground easily.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Bought the Just For Me Curl Peace Detangling Treatment. My ends have been going through it for some reason so I need some extra help next wash day.

 

[Prettyeyes]

I gave all my stash away to a few family members. Only kept my favorite products. Stash under 25.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Used up Briogeo Be Kind cowash.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Used up Briogeo Be Kind cowash.

How did you like it?

 

[oneastrocurlie]

How did you like it?

I really like it. The only head scratcher for me is which of the ingredients is the cleanser? My scalp always felt fine when using and when you add water after applying it seems to kind of suds up. But I was looking through the ingredient list (and comparing it to my oyin and the doux cowashes) and couldn't pick which one it was.

But honestly the only negative I have was that the pump bottle is a pain as you get close to it being empty.

I think the oyin ginger mint is just as good with a better price point though.

Thank you!! That's great to know, Oyin's Ginger Mint was on my radar too so I'll make that purchase next.
