USE UP YOUR STASH CHALLENGE 2014: Session 2

Don't think I've updated in a while. Used up my grapeseed, sweet almond and avocado oil. Only repurchase grapeseed and I'm mainly using that for my face.

Bought a small tube of SM CES smoothie a few weeks ago. This is gonna sound crazy but my stash is low and I'm a bit uncomfortable with it lol.
 
The BF is helping me get rid of products, he's been cowashing his hair in the shower after work. Little does he knows he's gonna help me RESTOCK! Lol
 
Finally used up the Hairveda Shikakai. Used most of the AIA Cleansing Pudding and dumped the rest. Will use the Naturelle Grow on Friday and based on how I like that will decide what I am going to do with the remainder of the Deva Curl One.

Still plugging away at the Nature's Blessing. Close but with just oiling my scalp it may be around a few more weeks.
 
Used up:
Miss Jessie's jelly soft curls- love this gel. I have one more left.
One n only argan oil treatment. Love this as well. I have 1 left.

Tossing:
Aveda anti humectant pomade- doesn't do anything for my hair.

Done with SD Avocado Pudding. I won't repurchase because I like her other dcs better.

Sent from my Snow White Frost Galaxy S4 using LHCF
 
Going through the stash this weekend to try to get rid of some more stuff. I feel like I've had some of these products for too long and I'm not finishing them fast enough. I've been pretty lazy with my hair recently.
 
I finished my John Frieda shampoo. It was such a great product :'(

Really the whole line was, but I think it's discontinued. Their conditioner was such a decadent one to cowash with.

I also used up my let's jam gel. That one I've had since 2012.
 
I wanna have a race with the two new products I got from shopping my stash.

One is a half empty 22.5 OZ bottle of suave naturals shampoo. The other is a mostly full, 30 OZ container of suave conditioner.

Any true naturalista knows which one will be empty first, but still lol I wonder which one it will be.

I will be buying one product today ugh!

I forgot my leave in and my scalp is already dry. I think I'm going to buy the Shea Moisture dry scalp Elixer.

We'll see though... I might just persist on water for moisture and scalp relief all week... But I don't want that mildew thing going on with my weave.

Oh dilemmas. I've been doing so well!

I would guess the conditioner, especially if you cowash at all. When I do use shampoo, I barely use 1/2 ounce per wash so it takes forever to get rid of it.
 
Not using up anything this week but making progress with the Deva Curl One, the AIA twisting cream and the Nature's Blessing's grease. But it's going to be a few weeks.

Oh I did take one of the shampoos out of the giveaway box and put it in my hand soap dispenser. It works well for that.

I've been doing the lazy cowash recently. Dunking my head im water, or pouring it over in the shower, then applying the conditioner to finger comb, bun and go.

I couldn't find anything I wanted to part with lol PJ problems SMH

Finished Alikay Lemongrass LI. I won't repurchase I liked it but the scent reminds me of those things ppl use to put in there toilets to make them smell good and color the water blue.

Never understood the point of blue toilet water...:perplexed
 
Had my boyfriend buy me the Shea moisture dry hair and scalp Elixer.

So yeah add that to the stash.

I like it though. It's got good ingredients in it.
 
This month my plan is to use up the following

Shampoo:
Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus

Oils
Keravada oils

Moisturizers
Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Qhemet Amla & Olive Heavy Cream

Dcs
SD Razzberry Coconut Affair and maybe half of the Vanilla Silk. I will be using Hairveda Acai Berry Phyto as a cowash once a week.
 
Used Up:

1 Darcy's Botanicals Deep Conditioning Mask (Staple)
1 Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk(Staple)
1 Silk Dreams Avocado Pudding
 
I used up all of my Carol's Daughter lite hair milk. It lasted well for a 2 OZ sample. I used it for 6 weeks. Rather than going straight to the original hair milk leave in, I'm saving that and the matching cowash for my vacation August.

For now I will focus on using these 4: Suave Naturals coconut shampoo and conditioner, Carol's Daughter tui hair sheen, Blue Magic Coconut conditioner.
 
I finished a shea moisture smoothie , VO5 conditioner(can't remember which one). I ain't buying a dern thing. Plus I'm weaved up until December so most of the items I don't like will go towards washing my weave
 
I like the idea of focusing on things to use up. This month, I'll focus on:
- Annabelle’s Perfect Blend White Chocolate Mousse Hair Mask (half a jar
- silk dreams chocolate mousse
- Herbal Essence Totally Twisted
- 1 purabody moisturizer
- Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade sample

I am going to have one delicious smelling head.

I'm torn on what to do with my Swimmer's shampoo. I don't necessarily like it but I may need it to chelate.
