Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 3

[Rozlewis]

After the BF sales and my purchases I need to join this challenge for 2013 also.

 

[lamaria211]

Used up my organic oils condish

 

[faithVA]

Today is experiment day. Sunday is my wash day but my head aggravates me so much by Thursday that I cowash it Friday or Saturday. And since I have to do something with my head, I just experiment. But I don't want to move my true wash day to Saturday because my coils will look crazy by Wednesday My head stays such a challenge

So anyway. Today I prepooed and cowashed with Deva Curl One. I thought I would be finished with the bottle this month but it looks like it will last until December. I am playing around with the Deva Curl B'Leave-in. It's supposed to be a gel like leave-in that you apply before your gel to help your curls Then I am putting the Deva Curl Angel on top of that. Maybe it will be a WNG or if that doesn't work, maybe a puff and last resort a banded fro.

But at least it helps me start using up the Deva Curl products. I hope to be finished with the Angel this month. I have a lot of styling products to get through.

[JJamiah]

I am super proud of myself for this years BLACK Friday purchase, I only purchased from Miss Jessies Tis far and I have very little plans for else where

I still have a ton to use but I am closer to it by not getting a ton of things in my stash...

 

[Carrie A]

Actually I ordered nothing for Black Friday.

I'm down to my last swipe of natural unrefined pressed coconut oil.
I'd love a refill but I have to finish my Vatika frosting first.

 

[Ogoma]

Used up Aveda Damage Remedy Treatment. I didn't even bother putting it on my updated list because there was so little left.

I will use up Aussie Moist this week. Also not on the list as it is one co-wash and one detangling session away from visiting the recycling depot.

After these two are gone, it would be a while before I use up anything because the stuff I have open are large sizes and still full.

 

[lamaria211]

Gave away to my niece: Bioluxe leave in, ORS olive oil hair lotion, Aussie Split end protector, john Freida flawless finish cream, Elasta qp Anti breakage serum

 

[KiWiStyle]

My updated list is coming as soon as my Black Friday purchases arrive. Gave a few items away but bought a few of my staple products while on sale.

What's the Curl Sealer supposed to do? Please don't say Seal Curls

Is it like a gel? or is it an oil? or what?

 

[lamaria211]

One more use of Baba de Caracol DC and one of my Silk Elements leave ins( don't worry I have 2 back ups)!

 

[soulglo]

1 More use of Darcy's Pumpkin Seed Conditioner Left
1-2 More uses of Roux Conditioner

- darcy's is officially gone (dcing with it as i type)
- I should get my Black Sunday shipment of my Qhemet and Anita today
- Roux is lasting longer than I thought but I will use it after I finish dcing
- i'm hanging onto my last drop of acv

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Working on that lrg tub of Cinnamon and Rosemary DC using it up as a final comb through. I normally use it for cowashing and prepooing in the summer months, but I'm sure I had it long enough and need to get rids of it buy the end of this challenge.

 

[xu93texas]

What's the Curl Sealer supposed to do? Please don't say Seal Curls

Is it like a gel? or is it an oil? or what?

Yes, it's a gel. I didn't like it. I returned it to Sally's today. I'm going back to using Eco-styler gel. It's cheap and it works.

 

[lamaria211]

I'm down to only my staple moisturizer Elasta QP mango butter!!!

 

[Lanea87]

I hate Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding compared to Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue. I cant wait to get the CP sample out of the way.

 

[faithVA]

I bought small bottles of Apricol Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil and Rosewater. Want to see if either of those oils can replace or be added to my sunflower oil. I think Olive oil is good for a prepoo but it isn't great for sealing my hair. Will try them out tomorrow after I DC.

 

[classoohfive]

One more use of Aussie 3 minute DC. I really love how it makes my hair feel I might make it a staple I don't like that it only comes in 8oz sizes but its cheap so I could just buy 3 at a time. Idk....

lamaria211

The deep one? I was just neutral about that one until I added oils and honey. Then I really started to enjoy it. It's a possible repurchase for me bc it's affordable, easily accessible, and can be used for cowashing, 3 minute conditioning, and LHCF style DCing

Okay, I finally tried this last night. I added some warm honey and olive oil. I hate the smell of honey, but it made my hair very easy to detangle. I also fell asleep on the couch for a bit waiting for my hair to go from wet to damp before I applied my leave-ins, but even the areas that were already close to dry still felt moisturized. I probably won't repurchase the Aussie since I get more moisture with my staple DC on its own (when I try adding honey to it, it may be perfect) but I'll be using it up with the addition of honey and olive oil. Thanks for the suggestion, daviine!

Roux is gone. ACV is still hanging on. I haven't received my Sage order yet =/. I'm giving away my Aussie Moist because it stopped working for my hair (probably the -cones) it makes my hair crunchy now

----just ordered a hair steamer because i'm still battling dry hair and splits

 

[Ogoma]

Used up Aussie Moist and JBCO (transferred it to oil mix, does it still count? ).

Non hair use up: Shea Moisture Organic Lemongrass Tea Tree Body Scrub.
