My UFD CM has been hanging on refusing to die. I have had it upside down just to get the gel out for a week now, but there is always more in the bottle. I hope it is done when I bun tomorrow. I don't even have anything to take it's place, I just want it done.

 

[Lanea87]

KeraCare Foam Wrap Lotion......TRASHED!!!!!

 

[JJamiah]

^^take that back out, coming over to get it!

 

[JJamiah]

Used up my Giovanni direct leave in

I used up:
DB Natural Coils Conditioning Mist
I bought:
Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture Shampoo (for dd)

Not Sure if I added these purchases within the last 30 days already:
Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger shampoo
Organix Hydrating macadamia oil Intensive Moisture Mask
(couldn't resist the walgreens sale)

Used up AO RM

Gave to Mommy
Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Lite
MIss Jessie's Curly Pudding
Miss Jessie's Quick Curls
KCCC

Finally used up my JC leave in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Also, I have two conditioners that are over 1/2 empty and my SM purification mask is probably 3 uses left. So i may end this session on a high note since cowashing is in my routine in this heat.

Used up CJ Smoothing Lotion. I love the slip, but, because of the glycerin, it is just too unpredictable for my hair.

Protein DC mixture......TRASHED!

My sister is visiting us this week. I gave her ORS HAIRepair anti-breakage creme.

Trashing the Suave Rosemary & Mint condish. My hair is not diggin it AT ALL!

Used up QB BRBC

Just getting back from vacation so haven't done much to my hair over the past week.

They were giving away bags of Miss Jessies and I didn't take one I was very good. Didn't buy anything new. And didn't bring home any of the conditioners from the hotel.

DCing my hair now and just used up the last of my castor oil blend. Back to cowashing regularly so will be rolling through my conditioners this month.

I took Shescentit avocado conditioner off my list b/c my dd will be the only one using this product. My hair doesn't like silicone free conditioners.

Used up a 1 litre size Wave Nouveau and a Kerasoft Gel. I have not purchased any new purchases. On Sunday I whipped up a curly hair pudding using shea butter, natural conditioner, and essential oil for fragrance. This should help me with using up my stash. Once I finish all of the Wave Nouveau products, I will transition to an all natural leave in.

KeraCare Foam Wrap Lotion......TRASHED!!!!!

to all the ladies giving things away or using them up.

Instead of trashing some of your items, give them away if possible.

I am so proud of you ladies. I haven't used anything up but I am due to spraying these braids and greasing this scalp. Continue on ladies

I hope to shorten my list as time goes on!

 

[Lanea87]

^^take that back out, coming over to get it!

LOL, no you not. You got enough of your own stuff.

 

[Ogoma]

I am still testing for some new leave-in conditioners. I like what I am using, but I am looking for something more cost-effective since I go through them so quickly.

Used up:
UFD CM

Added:
- Komaza Care Califia Leave-in
- Darcy's Botanicals Cocoa Bean Smoothing Cream (or something like that) 2x
- Komaza Care Califia Styling & Coconut Curl Pudding samples, just because
- Camille Rose Jansyns Moisture Max because I love this 'to uneconomical to be a staple' conditioner!

 

[faithVA]

If I feel better tonight I will cowash and use up the last of one bottle of the AO White Camellia and the last of the Giovanni SAS.

I will definitely have less than 20 products in my stash by the end of this challenge.

 

[JJamiah]

LOL, no you not. You got enough of your own stuff.

I am so not even worried about it, coming and getting my setting lotion

Paste the following info if you’re up for the challenge

1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge? I really need to use up this stuff! Eventually, I want to move on to one product line (looking closely at Komaza Care or Kera Care). Any line that focuses on moisture. I am also looking at exploring lines that are readily available without having to order. I also really want to find staples and use things that are good for my hair and won't make it dry or brittle. I also want to make space in my bathroom.

Suggested Categories:
- Shampoos

JJamiah, That is what I used it for too. I sold my curlformers today.....

 

[xu93texas]

I'm no longer using Shescentit Moisture Mist; moved to my dd stash

 

[JJamiah]

@JJamiah, That is what I used it for too. I sold my curlformers today.....

No heat too! Shhhhhhhh8! that is my go too! LOL

 

[xu93texas]

I threw away the rest of LustraSilk cholesterol. Doesn't do anything for my hair anymore.

No it wasn't that bc I loved them but I wasn't using them. And since I cut my hair heck I still wasn't going to be able to use them. So I had to give them a good home....

 

[faithVA]

I was really, really good today. Went to the health food store and they had all types of yummy conditioners and leave-ins I read all of the bottles and the ingredients. Then I saw that I can by Giovanni SAS in bulk for $.69 an oz So I can get 32 oz for $22. :yippee: I saw all types of things I wanted to get.

But I just walked away. The only thing I bought was lunch

 

[JJamiah]

I need to henna like there is no tomorrow. I take these braids down in a week and a half, I guess I can henna then along with a nice trim Just need to space out some time.
