Ok so I'm a little slow, when does the next leg start?

 

[Shay72]

Ok so I'm a little slow, when does the next leg start?

Today. It's a mistake when it says in the first post that the 1st leg ends on April 30th. So the 2nd leg starts today and ends on June 30, 2011.

 

[Shana']

Thanks Shay!!!

[Priss Pot]

I actually did well on the 1st leg. I used my 1st pass for the V-day Shescentit sale, and I used the 2nd pass for a KBB Mask from the BGLH website using a coupon code. I also ended up buying a bottle of safflower oil also, lol...oops . But other than that, I'm very proud of myself! The only staples I repurchased were KCKT, Henna, and Eco Styler Gel.

Oh yeah, I didn't know we could change staples lists? That's great, because after being on this challenge for 3 months, I've learned even more of what my hair can do with and without!

Old List
1) Kinky Curly Knot Today
2) Castor Oil
3) Henna (I actually will be buying more since I only have 2 boxes left)
4) Oyin Hair Dew
5) ApHogee 2-Step Treatment
6) Trader Joe's Nourish Spa
7) Eco Styler Gel
8) Mango Butter
9) Shescentit Banana Brulee Moisturizing DC
10) Shescentit Super Soft Honey Conditioning Rinse

New List
1) Kinky Curly Knot Today
2) Coconut Oil
3) Henna
4) Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner
5) Shea Butter
6) Shescentit Banana Brulee Moisturizing DC

I'm Zaz and I am joining for the next two legs of the challenge

1. Giovanni direct leave in
2. Kinky Curly knot today
3. Curls Curl creme brulee
4. Aphogee 2 step
5. Ion reconstructor
6. Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie

I've done pretty well since the beginning of the year using up several products but that SheaMoisture sale replenished my stash

 

[13StepsAhead]

What are you ladies doing to use up some of your products? I find that I keep jumping back and forth between products just becasue I want to try something "new".

 

[Zaz]

13StepsAhead I go for the smaller ones first and stick with it till it's done, then you get to pat yourself on the back. Right now I'm using up a Garnier putty, those things are only 5 oz, doing daily wash n gos, I'll be done with this tub by next week

 

[Shay72]

13StepsAhead
If I am only using staples in a category I am rotating 2-3 products. If it is something new I've tried and I don't like it I just continue to use it until I am done. I don't rotate it at all but use exclusively. This way I use it up faster.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Zaz and Shay72 Thanks for responding ladies! I will try some of your suggestions. Hopefully it works :crossfingers:

 

[13StepsAhead]

I used a pass already. I really had to do a hardcore protein treatment on my hair becasue I think I have some slight heat damage from the blow out I did 2weeks ago, so I used my sallys coupon and purchased the large bottle of Aphogee 2-step. I already had the balancing condish and moisture poo so I didn't spend too much.

 

[godzchildtoo]

Well I'm doing great with not purchasing, not so great with using up stuff. I've been washing weekly and either wearing my hair blow dried or roller set so I don't use a lot of product. I did use up my IC Sparklelites gel, now I'm working with the big tub of EcoStyler clear gel I had. I do not like it at all! But I have to use it up. It'll probably last all year.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Today I used the last of my SSI Banana Brulee DC and NTM Silk touch leave-in. I feel good

 

[IrrationalThoughts]

Woot, I think I did really well. I used 2 passes

I bought

Old Staples:
1. KCCC
2. KCKT
3. Elucence Moisture balance condish
4. Miss Jessie's WDT
5. Jojoba oil
6. Shescentit moisture mist
7. AOHC or Burdock Root (is this ok? I use one in the cold months and one in the warmer months, it is either or. Does this count as 2?) If it does count as 2, I will say AOHC.
8. Honey Hydrating Balm
9. AOHSR
10. AOGPB

New Staples
1. KCCC
2. KCKT
3. Hairveda Amala Creme Rinse
4. Miss Jessie's WDT
5. Jojoba oil
6. Shescentit moisture mist
7. AOHC or Burdock Root (is this ok? I use one in the cold months and one in the warmer months, it is either or. Does this count as 2?) If it does count as 2, I will say AOHC.
8. Honey Hydrating Balm
9. Sunflower Oil
10. AOGPB

I am beginning to wonder, how much of a 'staple' these things are. Save for the Jojoba oil, I haven't touched any of my staples since last year. Trying to work through all the other stuff...

 

[Zaz]

I used the last of my KCCC and finished 2 conditioners

 

[13StepsAhead]

I used 3 bottles of conditioner and I consolidated 5 half empty bottles into one. Since I started using Amla treatments again I will used that mix of conditioners to mix my Amla treatments and co-wash afterwards. I'm on a role...

 

[13StepsAhead]

Finally finished my 1st container if Qhemet AOHC. I love this stuff and I'm glad I stocked up on BF.

[Shay72]

I am using up stuff a bit slower this time. I am struggling with wanting to buy stuff which makes no sense since I have one unopened box from weeks ago on my couch. The other box on my couch I left at the condo office for over 2 weeks. I just opened it on Wednesday so I can use the dc. So obviously I don't need to buy ish .

 

[Shay72]

Oh yeah I will need to reup on Kinky Curly Knot Today during this leg. It's on my staples list so I am good to go. I usually only buy 2 but may buy at least 3 this time That's if the store has that many. The section always looks ran through.

 

[13StepsAhead]

The great thing about this challenge is that I'm really getting a handle on what my staples are; I guarentee that list will change slightly with each leg (which isn't a bad thing).

 

[blackberry815]

Welcome to the challenge. @ the bolded my understanding is that this challenge only applies to actual hair products and not appliances/tools. Now if I'm wrong I surely failed becasue I had to re-up on my conditioning caps and claw clips and I just purchased a new wig.

 

[Shay72]

This only applies to actual hair products . My using up has slowed way down. That's okay as long as I am using up.

 

[blackberry815]

Thanks ladies I just joined yesterday and I think I need to use a pass already

This thread has definitely been quite... I hope everyone is using up those products.

I am. I used my last pass this past weekend. I do have some staples I need to replace. Otherwise I am using up .

 

[13StepsAhead]

I'm using my last pass at the BB hair show this weekend in Baltimore. I don't think I will buy too many products; I really need a good blow dryer with a diffuser and comb attachment,
