2015 Use Up The Stash Challenge: Session 3

[curlyTisME]

Almost done with the CD Mirabelle Plum biotin oil treatment. Used it last night before I pin curled instead of my usual coconut oil.

 

[CodeRed]

Softee Cholesterol removed from stash. Going to try on daughter's hair. If it doesn't work there it's going to become shaving cream.

 

[curlyTisME]

One more use of the CD mirabelle plum biotin oil. Then I'll be moving on the finishing the last corner of my coconut oil. Won't be buying more for a while.

Hey Lady! I've been missing you. Not meaning to Hijack this thread, but wanted to tell you, you've been missed.

 

[CodeRed]

Giving Queen Helene Cholesterol with Ginseng away. Both of these last cholesterols seem to work better on all my new growth than it does on my relaxed hair... This wasn't really bad but it wasn't as good... as, say, the Shea Moisture Anti-Breakage Masque.

 

[krissyhair]

I started on my Frederick Fekkai Essential Shea Pot De Creme as a leave in conditioner.

I have to find a way to incorporate serum into my regimen because I've had the same bottle of serum/ heat protection since 09, and my grandmother insisted that she buy me a John Frieda serum. I have no idea what to do with them since I don't wear straight hair often.

 

[morgandenae]

Already have an empty ! 1 Darcy Botanical Leave in down, 3 more to go . This one is in Pina Colada extremely faint smell which I don't usually prefer but I LOVE this for my mini twist. Light so it doesn't weigh them down and looser in texture so I feel like it gets into all the cracks and crevices of each twist. It defines my coils amazingly so I'm sure it will produce a fantastic wash n go one day.

 

[CodeRed]

Giving Queen Helene Super Cholesterol to daughter's stash. None of these cholesterols worked on my hair Gonna test them on daughter's hair and if they don't work for her, shaving cream it is.

 

[xu93texas]

I had to throw away a bottle of wheat germ oil that expired this past May.

Also, dd and I finished one bottle of SSI Moisture Mist.

@morgandenae - wow you are a miniature Beauty Supply store. . Good luck with the challenge!

 

[faithVA]

Used up the last of the CR Aloe Whip. I have done well this session. I won't use up anything else before the end of the session. Will start on my JC Curl Crème on my next wash.

 

[morgandenae]

Lol @ilong I knoow ! The struggle is so real. Thanks for the encouragement, ready to tame this beast.

 

[CodeRed]

Gave away Nubian Heritage Masque.

One of my goals is to be able to have staples that are easily accessible to me on the ground. I bought the Nubian Heritage mask by mistake, thinking it was Shea Moisture (it kind of is anyway because they're the same company) and I realized I could only get it from CVS and they're usually out... plus the haircare line from that company seems to be fading away and that mask is more expensive than Shea Moisture.

 

[Vshanell]

I liked this product but it's not a repurchase. I don't use butters much in my regimen so only plan to have 1 when I get my stash down. I'm not sure what that one will be yet. This is a good one to have cuz I love how it's so detangling but I'm aiming for something I can buy otc. Tired of buying so much online.

I also decided to throw out the rest of my Qb Heavy Cream. It had taken on an odd watery consistently like the ingredients were separating or something. It looked gross.

 

[curlyTisME]

CD oil is done finally!! Coconut oil now. Should be finished with it next week sometime.

 

[ImanAdero]

I haven't finished ANYTHING recently

So... I think I'll be getting my hair done sometime midweek next week... Which means I'll get one good shampoo wash, and hopefully 1 or 2 Cowashes in between today and next Thursday...

I am determined to finish SOMETHING!

I should finish my APB Leave In, and I'm taking the APB pudding out of my stash since my mom basically took it from me ::side eyes::

Okay, so I'm not as bad as I thought... lol

 

[CodeRed]

Adding Sally's GVP Detangler.

 

[gorgeoushair]

Thought I was in the is challenge but maybe it was the last one....

10 more days 'til the new session. Or just get on where you fit in. It's open.

 

[krissyhair]

I bought 2 new hair tools this week. A new soft bonnet attachment for my dryer that's more deluxe than the old one, and a hand held dryer that is shaped like a round brush to make blow outs easier.

With these two tools maybe I can switch up my styles more to incorporate my serums.


KCCC is getting low and shampoo is getting low. I'll finish those in the next session.

 

[ImanAdero]

Used up my APB Leave in!

I have two new SSI Conditioners and I forgot I got a 3 months subscription for a natural hair box from a girl from my school who created the start up.

So I'm using 5hat conditioner today, will move on to my KKKT...

Probably will use more of one of the Ayurvedic hair Cream by APB too.

I plan to wash my hair 1-2 more times before Thursday (when I hope to get my hair braided)

 

[ImanAdero]

Actually... After reevaluating and combining some products, I'm still trucking along.

I have a few uses of my Trader Joes's shampoo. I combined my APB Ultra Conditioning Souffle into my big conditioner mix (which I put in my mom'said bathroom so she can use it). I used up the CarmaCare Shea souffle on vacation. I just through out the CarmaCare leave in...

I did "rediscover" a few products to I have, so I know I still have a lot of work to do... BUT I'm happy! I only have 2 shampoos, 1 true cowash left (we won't talk about conditioner lol).

I'm getting there!

Next session I will need a new shampoo most likely and maybe a new leave in... BUT right now I'm doing well.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I have 1 more product that should be finished by the end of this sesssion. I did pretty good with using stuff. I'll do my final count on Saturday or Sunday.

 

[CodeRed]

I don't think I'm going to use up anything else this session but we'll see. Looking to use up at least 8 or 9 things for the final session of this year... going to try not to buy anything, seeing as how I don't really need anything

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

1 jar of Silk Dreams Shea What Deep Conditioner
1 Bottle of V05 Moisture Milks
1 Bottle of HH Fruit Punch Conditioner

 

[ImanAdero]

I threw out the shampoo bar... it basically melted... so that's gone.

I have like 2 more uses of the Undone!

Woo hooooooooooo!

Is it weird that I don't want to use up my SSI conditioners?I feel like they cost too much to be using for some regla' ol' cowash lol.

Anywho, I'm going to buy 2 more Trader Joe's shampoos most likely and that should last through the end of the year..

 

[bronzephoenix]

I really want to try eco crystal but I still have a (mostly) full tub of Eco Argan sitting in my cabinet. The crystal seems to have a looser consistency that I'd really appreciate for my wng's... Then again, I haven't really been doing wng's for the past month or more so I don't need it. I just want things
