all i can say is whoa

all i can say is whoa

I was really expecting it to be much longer She is doing a great job reducing her stash

 

[faithVA]

When I first started this challenge, I was discourages and confused because I had shelves and boxes of products that I didn't know what to do with and didn't know if they worked. I looked at my shelf of products today and I am feeling so much better about what I see. For 90% of what I have, I know exactly what it does, how it works and what I want to do with it. The 10% are samples that I am trying out. I don't know how they work but I do know where they fit in. I feel good about my progress.

I may actually sit the next round of the challenge out.

 

[Ogoma]

^^^ Same. I have no use-up stash at all anymore; just a small list of staples. Most importantly for me, I don't have an interest in buying products that I have not already tried, tested, and proven true.

power to her.. use the force.. can't knock the hustle
i'm just an outsider peeking in don't mind me too much

this challenge definitely helped me too
to buy less
and figure out some staples
i finally have some core products
but i still have 2 products that are driving me coocoo that i bought kind of on whim

why don't you make a goody bag of samples for someone?

 

[soulglo]

the only new thing that i am eyeing is finding a good gel

eco styler and other gels have not really worked for me

i want to try the honeybush gel ..but i'm still waiting on a sale

i can finally say i have staples lol

shea moisture raw shea butter moisture retention is my # 1 shampoo.. i don't have to clarify or anything
aubrey gpb is my go to conditioner for everything
acv rinsing is my new thing
giovanni direct is my leave in
and castor oil is my favorite sealer


in the process of trying to use up products i figured out that my hair doesn't like coconut oil as a sealer or in products but it loves it warmed up as a prepoo

i tried olive oil as a prepoo since i finally used up my coconut oil and i think it was ehh.. coconut oil may be better so i may re up

it's cool that i don't need the most expensive products anymore but i'm still looking for a good gel and potentially a reconstructor because i'm almost finished using up the old formula of megatek

i'm trying to potentially get rid of or swap
eden's coco shea leave in and co wash

the cowash is nice but i feel like both products leave a film on my hair

i've also have olive eco styler gel ..gave away argan to my sis and i'm trying to figure out when and how i will use up the rest of my aloe vera juice

i hated the process of paying an arm and leg for shipping and hunting for staples

 

[xu93texas]

I used up the last of Peppermint Pomade. ( No fear, more is on the way!)

I am. I already have stuff in my give away box. I'm just trying to get enough to make it a good box. I plan on giving it to one of the LHCF ladies.

 

[uofmpanther]

Can I join session 2 when it starts? I've been on a personal use up my stash journey, but I'm finally ready to make the leap into a formal commitment

 

[classoohfive]

Has session 2 been posted yet?

I think I need at least one (or two) more sessions and I should be good. There's only a few new products I'm looking to buy, but I've used up what they're replacing and I know what should and shouldn't work.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Hey Ladies,

I made the Session 2 thread. I really hope @JJamiah doesn't mind. If your name is not on the updated list. Just thank the Original post and your in. LETS USE UP THESE STASHES LADIES!

 

[Aggie]

Just used up one box of kalpi tone powder and on the second box right now. I like this powder so it will stay in my ayur-rotation for a long time.

I do need a box of shikakai powder, 6 boxes of kalpi tone powder, a kilo of indigo powder, about 8 bags of Nupur henna, 3 boxes of amla powder, 3 boxes of brahmi powder and a box each of skintone and orange powder for my facial mask.

Oh and some brahmi-amla oil as well. I think I need additional items but the above are urgent.
