Oh and I tossed something I don't even think was on my list lol. It had dimethicone as like the 4th ingredient and I'm recognizing my hair can't really do cones for a deep conditioner (although the Sally's product has them).

Darn it... And bought the Shea Moisture Maximum hydration Manuka honey line masque.

I do t feel like I did so well this round and next round I'm gonna have a sew in LMBO so I'm not gonna be using my of anything (of my good products haha)

Used up my blended beauty deep conditioner. I liked it, but not necessarily as a deep conditioner. I've learned my hair likes "wet" butters for styling but not necessarily as deep conditioners. This reminded me of Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter or the Bee Mine Bee-u-ti-ful DC.

Not sure I would repurchase because I also think I only got like two uses out of it because it's so thick.

Next up is the alikay lemongrass leave-in. I would have used it up already if I hadn't forgot it was on my target list. I only have a little bit left and it's diluted with water. I may just throw it in my spritz because I move tomorrow.

ETA - I did pour it into the spritz

My focuses for September will be:

Shampoo: As I Am Cleansing Pudding
Protein: Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni

I only have one use of SD Vanilla Silk, therefore I will be switching my DC focus for this month to Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair.

There isn't a new thread for the next session. If someone wants to head it up feel free or we can just continue with this one.

I'm on vacation soon so I'm not going to head up next session. My stash is also depleted so not sure how much I will check in.

My Grand Finale for session 2

I didn't post an inventory because I initially was only here for 'support'. But due to my failing at my no buy, I'll have to post one for the final session.

What I actually used up this session (including August empties because I didn't feel like doing a separate post.

Pink=Will try full size
Purple= Staple



Full Sized
Herbal Essences Hello Hydation Conditioner (staple)
Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni and Monoi Smooth and Repair Nourishing Hair Masque
Eco Natural Curl N' Styling Custard with Macadamia Oil
Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni and Monoi Smooth and Repair Hair and Scalp Weekly Therapy
Ion Color Solution After Color Sealer Conditioner
Aphogee Balancing Moisturizing Conditioner
Haute Textures Tea Tree Conditioner

Sample Sizes
Shea Moisture Shea Butter Moisture Retention shampoo (staple)
Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner
Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Leave-In Treatment
Ion Moisture Solutions Miracle Leave In Treatment
Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor (repurchase)
Eva Nyc Therapy Session Hair Masque
Redken All Soft Shampoo(repurchase)
Vitale Olive Oil Hair Mayonnaise (x2)
Beautiful Textures Moisture Butter Whipped Curl Crème
Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Conditioner
Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Shampoo
Design Essentials Natural Almond and Avocado Leave-In (repurchase)
Design Essentials Natural Almond and Honey CurlForming Custard
Profectiv Mega Growth Deep Conditioner (repurchase)
Profectiv Mega Growth Growth Lotion (staple)
Cream of NatureArgan Oil Oil Treatment
Curl Solutions Curl Keeper (staple)

Overall I'm happy with my progress this session. I got rid of more than half my samples that were clogging up my hair care area. I also was able to tease out some potential staples which is always good for me. Also 7 full sized products in 4 months is great considering most of what I have left is staples and their backups.

But don't you love me? My bday coming up LOL!


I am so sorry.. I have been in mood with these autoimmune diseases.. I just am trying to cope..

Happy Belated Birthday :) I hope you had an awesome time..
