USE UP YOUR STASH 2014: Session 1

I have too many protein treatments in my stash. After my next color I will be giving some away. I will keep the Giovanni, use up the rest of the 4 Naturals Reconstructor. I will give away the L'Oreal Repair Mask since it was an inexpensive purchase. I probably will give away the Komaza as well. I've yet to use it and need to pay attention to my instinct which tells me to leave it alone.

I will try out the Hairveda Red Tea. If it works I will keep it. I wasn't paying attention when I purchased it. I should have purchased something more moisturizing :nono: Oh well, what's done is done.

Big Hair, Don't Care
What are your motivations for joining this challenge?

I want to decrease the clutter in my life and actually try products that i buy and and actually make dents in my staples. I would like to decrease spending as well as have a clear idea of what works for me and what doesn't. I also want to make informed shopping decisions and stop buying things because they are the latest "greatest thing ever created for natural hair". I would like to learn to experiment responsibly.

- Shampoos (staples not included)
Elasta QP (will throw out)
Dry Remedy shampoo (will throw out)
Redken curvaceous (will throw out)


- Conditioners (staples not included)
Koils by nature dc (probable staple)
Nature's gate henna ( have never used)
geez, I'll come back, I have too many in this and the following categories I will come back


- Deep Conditioners
- Leave Ins/Moisturizers
- Oils & Essential Oils & Butters
- Herbal & Ayurvedic Products
- Styling products
- Other

3. Post a Pic of your "Stash". Coming soon

4. What are your goal(s) for the session

I want to be down to 12 products at most. I want to eliminate the clutter and reduce the spending.

I honestly did pretty good all year long and splurged on Black Friday. I am currently still working through a pretty heavy stash and will be holding out on buying products until Black Friday 2014. :)
I would have to also take pictures because listing it is a crime. :)

EnExitStageLeft I want to thank you so much for starting this challenge and keeping it going while I was overloaded with school :)..

I will be here for a while with you.. LOL as I have a lot of... to get rid of.

DoDo I am with you on the de-cluttering. We are moving late spring so even more determined to get it together. Went through my closet two weekends ago and was finding clothes I didn't remember I had. :nono:

Thanks for this post

What are your motivations for joining this challenge?

To monitor my spending habits, use the hair products already in my possession, waste nothing because this stuff costs too much and to make room for future product purchases (future sales, BF 2014, hair events.) I also want to work on not being so obsessive about my hair and hair/beauty products. To enjoy what I have and to stop being greedy.

Sorry this is so long, I tried to post pictures but couldn't get them to upload. I have been transitioning since May 2013 and the above is my damage. I'm also waiting on 2 packages, those products have not been added to the list.

I need an intervention

^^ Giving away the Komaza Aloe My Hair Cream to my cousin. I don't like the smell. "Making it work" when it comes to my hair/hair products is so 2013. :lol:
 

ElevatedEnergy

Rooted Yet Flowing
Used up:
1) 2 SD Whip My Hair Cleansers
3) SD Wheat Germ Conditioner
4) Kinky Curly Come Clean *freaking husband used this one up washing his hair everyday*:sad:
5) SD Vanilla Silk Conditioner

Purchased from Sally's
1) Aphoghee 2 step protein treatment
2) ORS creamy aloe shampoo (need to clarify before the protein treatment ..plus we have hard water here in Cali)
3) Eden Bodyworks Cowash for my weekly rollersets


I am running out of product like nobody's business. Doing 2 heads of hair weekly, then having men in my house that use my stuff as well is putting a dent in my stash. I need a line that offer salon size products so I will be placing an order with HairVeda once I use up the rest of the products on my list. I was trying to get out of ordering hair products on line because it's such a hassle when I can pick something up locally. But unlike Silk Dreams; Hairveda has these huge salon sizes, the shelf life is longer and I can get away with only ordering once per year. So after this purchase, I'll only order on Black Friday. I've used Hairveda before so I know it works well with my hair.

Sorry for being rude! Just realized this is a new thread so I will list what is left on my use up list.

1 SD wheat germ conditioner
2 SD Destination Hydration conditioners
1 SD Vanilla Silk Conditioner
1 SD Avocado pudding
2 jars brown eco styler gel (will probably give away, I haven't used this in probably 2 months)

Used up SM yucca & baobab thickening mist. I really like this product and will repurchase once I decrease my stash.
