This all day long

Haven't been in the thread like I should. Only to update my stash. When last updating, I decided to go around the house to count again and make a list of what I would get for Black Friday to replace what I have now. Other than Vitacost, Sally Beauty and Neutrogena, I haven't really made a list. Now that I know Bobeam, APB, J. Monique and NaturelleGrow do 30% off during the year, it's not as much of a rush to stock up at one time anymore. I'll be buying from Mehandi instead of HennaSooq for indigo this year. I'll only be getting two or three boxes of indigo.

Finished up Komaza Vitamin Reign. I have one more left.

Omg, where has this thread been all along. I'm so in! this has been my goal for months. By the end of this year I want to simplify my stash so I have to get rid of a lot.

Used up As I am Coconut cowash

Exchanged GVP Detangler for GVP Conditioning Balm.

Me too I like that it doesn't make my scalp itchy like when I cowash with regular conditioners

We used up SM Raw Shea Butter shampoo.

I wonder if I can finish up at least one more product before the 31st...

I really want to try this but I won't. Partly because I don't plan on buying anything for a while but mostly because I'm petty and don't want to buy a conditioner that actually says co-wash on it.

I don't think it's petty. I don't know why but I have an aversion to this also

Right...can you even leave it in?

Well after not being able to post for a week I'm finally back in.

Just in time for the next session.

Oh and I haven't used anything up lol. But no purchases either.

Will use the last of my coconut oil tonight for a pre poo before my appt tomorrow. I will apply it all over and to my scalp and redo my two goddess twists.

You know there will be at least one new one before the end of the year lol. Please report back on that new one

So I used it (Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Masque) today... I do really think it's the best of the line. It gave me shine, not like blinged-out shine but my hair is noticeably shinier, both new growth and relaxed parts. It's also soft. I co-washed before I used it, black tea rinsed (which makes my hair a little bit harder) and put this on top. Steamed for about 20 minutes and left it on for about 9 hours because I forgot and had a lot to do I barely lost any hair while blow drying and I'm 4 months post relaxer. I had a few tangles (like maybe 3 - 4) and my hair feels strong and soft at the same time. This one and the Yucca Plantain Anti-Breakage ones are going to be my go-to if I continue to use their masques.

2 Shea Moisture Masques given away.

I think I'm going to give away one of my Styling gels...

I just did a market reseatch survey online and was chosen to test out some hair products, so I may add to my stash lol, but at least I'm not paying for it!

I'll do a round 2 update on September 1st...

Tomorrow I plan to wash and blowdry... I'm not going to get my hair braided, so I need to figure out how I'm going to get my hair done.

Finished up a KBB Moisture Mist.

Used up Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm in the 8.9oz tube. Moving on to the 16.9oz pump jar. When that's almost gone we're trying the SM Manuka Honey mask for our moisturizing deep con.

Btw, I cut open the tube when I couldn't squeeze out any more. I was surprised by how much conditioner was sitting in the bottom of the tube. I'm going to start cutting open all tubes from now on.

I don't think my last post went through with the site maintenance. I used up my Curl Junkie Hibiscus Banana Deep Fix. I like this, but I only get 2 uses out of a jar now.

I'm giving away my Uncle Funky's Daughter Good Hair because it made bees chase me at the zoo and the gas station.

I think I'm also giving away most of my DevaCurl set. The stylers didn't do much for my hair, except make it flake. Thankfully, I got it for free.

What is Goodwills Target section?

Target donates their clearance, seasonal, open box items to Goodwill.

I've been so lazy with my hair this session, I only finished 8 things.

I bought the Shea Moisture heat protectant from their blue line...

I don't really dig it, but I may have just used too much.

I did throw away my other 2 heat stylers and I probably will throw out one of my gels... I'm not going to use it, so it's gotta go.

Hope no minds me updating the thread 6 hours early. Didn't want to forget later on. Got to get my stash list updated.

Thank you lady

Two empties this cowashing Morning



J. Monique's Hibiscus & Broccoli DC made my hair soooo soft but I hate the artificial perfumy smell so probably wont be a repurchase

I used Cantu Define & Shine Custard to define and hold the curls at the end of my mini twist and to catch flyaways as they got old. Did amazingly might repurchase after I get through this stash to see how it does on a wash and go.
