Use Up Your Stash Challenge 2011 - Session II

[Lanea87]

Imma continue just gotta get another box....

^ Are you going to continue to use Henna or are you stopping?

 

[Lanea87]

Oh trust I understand

Yep that's about normal. But I'm a college student on a budget so I try to find deals whenever possible. So I stalk I mean check the Hair Exchange board frequently for girls selling them for cheaper. Or wait until an online vendor has free shipping or something.

 

[BreeNique]

I'm so proud of me today!!! I went to Ricky's (in NY), and they had a full supply of Kinky Curly Knot today, I wanted so badly to purchase some...but I didn't. Woot.


Oh, and I'm not going to use my Cantu leave-in, I don't like how it makes my hair feel. So it's out as of tomorrow!

Another one bites the dust!! <3

 

[Lanea87]

Imma DC on Wednesday with Amla and Brahmi using it in a paste....Im thinking of doing that weekly or biweekly it depends on how my hair feel. But imma be mixing that with conditoner so that should knock some more items out.

 

[gigi2011]

I finished my Cantu shea butter leave-in and KBB super silky won't repurchase either.

Update: Finished 1 bottle of Sheamoisture hold and shine moisture mist, 4 to go.

 

[Lanea87]

Ladies do you know if Amla or Brahmi can be saved after mixed?

 

[faithVA]

Sorry I have been mia. I'm just getting back from vacation. And can you believe I didn't check the forum every day?

Welcome to all ladies new and returning. Looking forward to hanging out with you for 3 months.

If I didn't get you, please let me know.

 

[faithVA]

Not using much product right now because my hair is in kinky twists. But I used up my TW Mist Bodifier. Actually I wasted it. Tried to make a mix and ended up making a mess.

Then I used up my mango butter. Will probably use up the Aloe Butter by mixing it with the EcoStyler olive oil or the Murrays Loc and Lock.

Probably won't use up too much until the end of July.

 

[NikkiQ]

Cantu shea butter leave in, Elasta QP anti breakage moisturizer, Amla oil, Hot 6 oil, and my Miss Jessie's DC are all getting low

 

[faithVA]

Ladies do you know if Amla or Brahmi can be saved after mixed?

I dont know. But there is a henna thread with some experts Im sure can tell you the answer. Let me know if you want me to find it for you.

ms_b_haven06 - I always freeze my left over mixes in plastic containers. Never had a problem.

 

[Keishadt]

I'm back to say I'm not making ANY progress. I have a conditioner that I've been prepooing and cowashing with and it just doesn't seem to budge, and I'm heavy handed with that stuff. At this rate it will be the only product I finish.

My mizani coconut souffle is getting low too, but it will be a long while before it's used up because it's a cream.

Also, I think I'm going to toss that Ion leave in, my hair seems to get dry after a while and stays that way until the next wash/cowash.

 

[Golden75]

I finished up my DB Pumpkin condish over the weekend. Love that stuff - will repurchase when I get the stash down. Gave away silk elements & a sweet almond oil to my mom. Moving this month, so will be throwing stuff out. I think I saw a bottle or two of stuff i didn't know I had. Ughhh. I actually turned down some free Carol's Daughter - told my mom to keep it, since she will need stuff - she's finally gonna stop with the back to back weaves, and rock her natural hair! So proud of her!

@ms_b_haven06 - I always freeze my left over mixes in plastic containers. Never had a problem.

Golden75, Thanks for responding I wasnt sure what to do so I just mixed mines this morning so that I wouldnt have any problems with my hair in the aftermath

I dont know. But there is a henna thread with some experts Im sure can tell you the answer. Let me know if you want me to find it for you.

faithVA, I tried looking at those threads that its just so much info that I was like heck forget it LOLerplexed

Keishadt, Sometimes it seems like nothings moving and then you have a a week where you use up 3 or 4 things. Just hang in there. Using what you have and limiting buying will get you there.

It's looking good. More and more red showing up. And shampoos are one of the hardest things to get rid of.

Everything on the counter came in the package. I'm about to update my list and add everything. Even the samples!!!

 

[faithVA]

Wow - thats odd. Until NikkiQ mentioned her package I had completely forgotten I get a product pass this month. Not having the urge to buy product is another reason to keep these kinky twists in.

Used up my beloved Sunflower oil tonight.

Dont have much of any of the others oils left either.

sorry, missed the link. You got quite a bit of stuff. Some things I recognized. Some not.

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

Yea shampoos are the worst. I realized from the first session that they just weren't going anywhere so I decided to sell them. That was the only way I could get rid of them.

Oops, sorry faithVA. I thought I took off part 1 from my subscriptions...

- - - - - - - - - -​

I'm almost done two conditioners so I decided to make a schedule so I can use them up efficiently.

19/20th, July - Yes To Cucumbers Colour Care Conditioner (I hate this but I mixed it with another conditioner and some oils so it's actually better now.)

23rd/24th, July - Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner (I like this but will not re-purchase because it smells like curry and bush.)

28th/29th, July - Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner.

3rd/4th, August - Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner (If I still have more, I shouldn't have more after 3 uses.)

8th/9th August - Yes To Cucumbers Colour Care Conditioner.

13th/14th August - Yes To Cucumbers Colour Care Conditioner.

18th/19th August - Yes To Cucumbers Colour Care Conditioner (Should be done after by the 4th if not 3rd use.)

23rd/24th August - Aussie Moist Conditioner (I'm going to keep using this consistently until it's done. I like it but I've had it for too long.)
