Yeah, I am glad to have that mask outta here, because I'm no fan of Aunt Jackie's anymore. Tried 4 products by the brand, 1 leave-in (still in use), 1 curl cream, 2 conditioners. The only product that is somewhat OK is the "in control" hair mask, but nothing spectacular; I have had better drugstore products. It kind of disappointed me because the range looked promising to me (not too expensive for a natural hair brand).

There is nothing worse than spending money on a product, getting it home and discovering it does nothing for you at all. Ugh.

The thing for me and it sounds like for you as well lapushka...I hate wasting. So I usually will suffer through and use it up anyway just so I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my money. My one friend throws products away after one use, if she doesn’t like it...but I just can’t do that. I was raised to not waste anything.

I like buying a lot of my hair products from Trade Secrets and Sephora, here in Canada...because both places will allow their customers to purchase a product and try it out...but they will give you a full refund with no questions asked, if you don’t like it. Or you can trade it for something else...and there is no limit on how many times you can return products. They want you to be happy. I love dealing with places like that...places who have outstanding customer service. I notice now too that even one of the drugstores I frequent is now saying I can return used hair products if I’m not happy!!! How cool is that! The way it should be.

Yep that is so me, I will not be wasteful. But the curl la la (Aunt Jackie's curl cream), I threw out because the styling cream flaked on me, on its own, so not even with gel on top (because you can then easily leave the gel off). But no, it went in my hair and I had to wash my lengths again. So heck no, that just isn't right!

We can't return used items in the EU such as body lotion, shampoo, make-up; it's just policy.

You know what? I use to be the same way.
Well I noticed lately that my hair is getting worse and condition when I am using product that my hair doesn’t really like. The more and more I use a product that my hair doesn’t like it makes my hair just feel so bad!
Then I use something I do like and my curls get better and my hair starts to get normal again.
I try to use products up in every way possible But sometimes it really isn’t worth it!

Yup, I see your point too. Sometimes, it’s better to just give something away if your hair is just screaming “Nooooooo” every time you use it.

9x 13 Fl oz garnier dandruff shampoo
3x 32fl oz dandruff shampoo
4x 16oz Ryo hanbitmo shampoo
1x 20oz V05 clarifying shampoo
1x 28oz Tresemme clarifying shampoo
1x 12oz Sunsilk shampoo

39x 10 Fl oz John Frieda conditioner
5x 32oz Tresemme Moisture rich conditioner
0.5x 28oz Tresemme Naturals cone free conditioner
1.5x 13oz Ogx conditioner
3x 16oz Ryo hanbitmo conditioner
1x 25oz Citre shine conditioner
0.5x 17.7oz Pantene dream care conditioner
1x 12.5oz Garnier whole blends honey conditioner



Total: 305oz shampoo and 678oz of conditioner! I am really shocked. I might have a couple more bottles in my bedroom closet, but this is the large majority of it.

If I very generously use 0.5oz of shampoo and 1oz conditioner each wash with CWC, with 183 washes per year, I have 3.3 years of shampoo and 3.7 years of conditioner. In reality, I don't use that much, and it could be closer to 4 years of shampoo and 5 years of conditioner. Yikes!



Edit-- this is not even counting all the bottles in my shower. Most of them are nearly gone though. All the products listed above I intend to use. Anything I dont like has already been given to friends and family.

Today I've used up a bottle of Isoplus Leave-In Conditioner! Now, I'm working on getting rid of another one.

I recently stocked up on conditioner I know my hair loves and extras to try, so I think I need to start this challenge. My problem is I use generous amounts of conditioner but not enough to frequently use up bottles. I'll have to post the list and limitations in the week but if I at least join the thread there's at least some accountability!

I used up a Caviar serum (Aldi/Biocura) today. I broke apart the packaging, and it was actually a pump bottle, with a vacuum plastic baggie on the inside - weirdness! LOL. But I had emptied it all out! So it is really nice to know that it thoroughly gets it all.

I know I'm probably joining this a little late, but I want in on this anyway.

For me, the challenge isn't buying new shampoo. I order mine online about once a year and just switch between types as the season changes. I currently have 4 bottles, which last all year. I also don't use any gels or styling products, so I don't buy those anyway. Conditioners, scalp treatments and oils are my weakness. I make my own oil blends, so I have a bunch of partial bottles of various types of oils and it takes me a long time to go through them. I currently have olive, coconut, jojoba, castor, sesame, safflower, argan, mustard, avocado, sweet almond, camellia, fenugreek... and probably a couple of others. I need to replace my jojoba oil because I am almost out and I'll need to get more avocado oil before the end of the year. But those are the only oils I am allowed to buy for the year. The timing of this is great because I'm getting married about this time next year and I am moving during that time. Having a smaller oil stash will help with that.

As far as scalp treatments go, I use my oil collection to make most of those as well. On top of the ones that I make, I also use Tropical Isle Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil (man, that's a long name to type) and The Innate Life Scalp Treatment for Problematic Scalp. I have one container of each of these products, and 3 other scalp treatments that I made that are partially gone. For this category, I am only allowed to buy one more jar of the Innate Life Scalp Treatment within this year and one more of the Tropical Isle one, but only after I finish using all my partials and reduce some of my oil stash.

Okay, my last category. Conditioners. I primarily order these along with the shampoo online once a year, but I also have a habit of buying extras of this because I use conditioner for making deep conditioners. Which I also buy. So... My goal for this year is to finish all the open bottles that I have. In theory I have enough to get me through the year, but winter just started here... so I can't say I'm not going to need to buy more during the year since my hair will just drink up conditioner. My goal in this category is to not buy conditioner until I use up what I have and then buy only what I need, not buy it to experiment with.

[poli]

I used up one of my conditioners - the ACV one. It was nice, light, protein free and smelled like apples so I might repurchase it sometime in the future. I'm also using both of my hair masks as a conditioners. Right now I'm doing wash-condition-leavein routine every other day, so I hope to use more product up by the end of the year.

I have 16 products I'm planning on using as soon as possible. End of last year I got a bit carried away with buying and trying new products so they piled up a little. I don't like having a stash so this is my project for this year.

[MarPreciosa]

Is it too late to join? I have 2 shampoos, 1 regular conditioner, 1 mask, 3 essential oils and 3 hair oils. I don't want to purchase ANY more things until they are used up!

[MarPreciosa]

Used up a bottle of my HE Hello Hydration conditioner. That makes it 37 products used up so far, this year.

WOW! That's alot of products! Nice job!

[MusicalSpoons]

In the middle of December I finally used up my 400ml Citrus and Green Tea conditioner. It took a lot longer than I thought it would!

[The-Young-Maid]

My favorite thing lately has been to dump all my kinda meh/okay conditioners together in one giant Pantene bottle. It's very satisfying to downsize on bottles. So now there's like 3 mixed together. I feel like I'm making progress quicker that way, I don't have to choose which to use each day either. I've been using a whole palm full of Tresemme conditioner every night so that should be finished soon.

[lapushka]

One Dove "lisse & soyeux" conditioner used up today.

[lapushka]

WOW! That's alot of products! Nice job!

With the year round-off I used 40. :cheer:

I guess I kind of neglected this thread for the last 3 products.

Yaaay one shampoo down! Organic Shop's Argan oil&amla shampoo is my new favorite that I need to restock soon.

[poli]

I just realized I wanted to buy new product without even looking at what I have left from last year.
There is quite enough of everything - 3 shampoos, 4 conditioners, 2 masks, 3 leave-ins, 2 serums, few raw oils and cassia and henna for at least 6 root touch-ups. I'm continuing destashing :)

[Dark40]

Today I've used up a bottle of Alberto VO5 Kiwi and Lime Conditioner. I'm planning on using up another one. I've also used up a bottle of Isoplus Leave-In Conditioner as well. Now, I'm working on using up a 16 oz bottle of Isoplus Leave-In Conditioner.

[Dark40]

Used up a bottle of my HE Hello Hydration conditioner. That makes it 37 products used up so far, this year.

Wow, that's a lot of products! You go girl! :D

[lapushka]

Used up a HE Hello Hydration conditioner today!

[gustavonut]

“Used” up a Hello Hydration shampoo today. I mostly used it as a body wash rather than a shampoo though. The cones in it made my hair a bit waxy after the second day, so I found I had to wash more often.

[clandestine]

I was seduced by Dollar Tree and walked out with 2 vo5 shampoos and matching conditioners, 2 leave ins, and 1 big bottle of my favorite CO wash conditioner. My scalp demands variety but my storage is crowded.

[lapushka]

Used up a Garnier Ultra Doux Peach/nutoil mask. I have one left now. This was long, LONG, discontinued. ;) But it's still good. Gosh, I think this is 10+ years old, and it performs as new.

[Begemot]

Finally used the hair mask from Kocostar. I stashed it for some reason even though I was really curious about it (first time using this type of hair mask). Now I have only one hair wrap in my closet.

[Jo Ann]

One bottle each:

Head & Shoulders Green Apple Shampoo
Prell Shampoo
JBCO Leave-in Conditioner

[lapushka]

Used up the "zijde doorkammer" (silk detangler) shampoo by Schwarzkopf this Sunday. I have another one that's about to be finished.

[Jo Ann]

And my jar of Lou-Ana coconut oil just bit the dust...GO ME!

[poli]

I have some leftover coconut leave-in spray from Urtekram that was not being used. I mixed some of the Banana Food conditioner into it (mostly for the smell). I hope the mixture will work better and I finally finish the spray bottle , it has about 1/4 of the product left in it now.

[lapushka]

Used up my Garnier Fructis hair food mask (banana).

[Dark40]

Used up my 2 spray bottles of Isoplus Leave-In Conditioner.

[2gaits]

I don't know if I could ever use up my stash of hair products. I'm a junkie for sure and I am always trying some new shampoo and conditioner. I always think something else will work that much better. I am finally coming to the conclusion that regular old pantene moisture is the one I like best. Still won't stop me from wasting money on something new. I also have blue shampoo for when I'm highlighted, brown for when I'm wanting to tone down and be a bit richer colored and now red to try and offset my greenish hue.

[Dark40]

Hey, I know the feeling 2gaits. ;) I can also admit it that I'm a junkie as well, and I don't know if I'll ever use up my whole stash either. I think I would have to wash my hair 2 or 3 times a day in order to use up what I got. I love trying out new hair products too! I'm always trying to find something new that works better for me too. I love the old pantene moisture products too. They work best for my hair too. Right now, I'm loving Garnier Fructis and Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioners. I also have some purple shampoo and conditioner for when I used to bleach my hair many years ago. I still want to use that up as well.

And, just this pasted week I bought some Garier Fructis Triple Nutrition Conditioner a 33.8oz bottle for 4.92 at Walmart, and some Herbal Essence Hello Hydration for 4.92 33.8oz bottle also Walmart, and a tub of Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Hair Mask for $2.96 at Walmart. This is not going to stop me from spending money on hair products either. ;)

[MusicalSpoons]

Seems to take me *ages* to use up anything, so will post body stuff as well as hair to keep some kind of track: Used up Sukin Super Greens facial moisturiser
Edit: opened it as soon as it came through the post - an entire year ago. It's only 125ml bottle!!

[Dark40]

Today I've used up 2 10oz bottles of Isoplus Leave-In Conditioners! Yayyyyyyy! :)

[MusicalSpoons]

Ooh I'd forgotten about this thread, thanks for digging it up Dark40 :)

Since then I've used up a Skintruth 100ml Nourish and Moisturise moisturiser (face).
Also gave away two Garnier Ultimate Blends body lotions
Plus my hair stuff used up, 5 products this year so far. I need to update my stash inventory (https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/entry.php?b=133541) but need to wait until the house is back in order after the stressful and chaotic heating installation is finally done (hopefully finished tomorrow).

Hehe...you're welcome MusicalSpoons :) Yeah, I thought that it needed to be digged up again!

Sound like you really got rid of some really good stuff! I'm slowly but surely trying to use up the majority of my hair stuff. It seems like that will take forever. Yeah, I know whatcha mean about waiting until all of the stressful and chaotic heating installation is finally done. I also hope it's finished by tomorrow too.

[NicoleJean]

If I don’t like a product and it was expensive or I just hate to throw it away than I’ll slowly mix a bit of the product I don’t like into one that I do than I can’t notice it and it gradually gets used up.

[zmirina]

I've used up Schwarzkopf bonacure mask and Pantene Conditioner! Only 4 masks, 3 leave in treatments, and 3 shampoo&conditioner pairs left to go!

[Jo Ann]

Does it count if I give away some of my stash?

I have a co-worker who recently bleached her hair--color looks great, but the resulting texture and damage, not so much...

I gave her a jar of SM protein treatment, six or seven single-use hair masks, a jar of Pantene Damage-Erasing Balm and a bottle of Fructis Damage Remover conditioner.

I found what works for my hair, but never got around to using/finishing those items. I found it better to bless someone who can get some real use out of them than to keep them in my Happy Home, collecting dust and remaining unused, unwanted or unloved.

[Begemot]

I think give away products count too :) I try to rehome some of the products I have that I doubt I'll ever manage to reuse myself. I'm sure your co-worker was happy to receive some nice products, Jo Ann! And your stash got a little smaller so it's a win-win situation.

[lapushka]

I don't know about this thread (I'm not the OP), but in the project use up you have to actually use it up (or state otherwise).

[MusicalSpoons]

The OP mentioned swapping to reduce waste and further spending; personally I think giving away falls into a similar spirit - it certainly reduces waste and prevents unnecessary spending for someone else :) [of course we state what we've done with it anyway, fairly automatically, whether that's using it up, repurposing it, giving it away, or whatever else].

The project use-it-ups are mainly to see what we use up within the timeframe of a year, whereas this thread is more generally about getting through our stash of products/cosmetics. (I hope I remember the outcome of that discussion correctly! ;))

[Begemot]

Today I gave Phyto Progenium shampoo, Farfalla deep conditioning mask and Varpu Avocado conditioner to my friend and Organic Shop Avocado&Honey hair mask to my sister :)

[RunOnCaffeine]

I finally finished a never-ending bottle of L'Anza healing smooth balm that my mum gave me ages ago. :)

[Begemot]

I have this oil leave-in (Klippoteket Argan oil) that I got from my mother maybe three years ago... I love it but can't use much. It's a tiny bottle of 75 ml and I'm half way through. I think it still works fine but maybe I should toss it already :hmm:

I have managed to use up my stash more effectively now that I'm not constantly buying more stuff. There's still too many products I'm not sure what to do with. I'm also dreaming about many more products...

[01]

Yeahh, as weird as it sounds, I keep using up chamomile, mint and nettle teas that are left after my dead grandparents as tooth powder *shrugs*. Takes forever, since tooth powders are hard to use up.

[pisinoe]

Just used up Elsève Total Repair and Herbal Essences Coconut Milk conditioners and won't repurchase either.

Will concentrate on using up Nivea Glanz Haarmilk and Pantene Repair conditioners now.

[pisinoe]

Finished the nivea conditioner - won't repurchase, but it was pretty decent. At the rate I'm going through conditioner now that I'm doing CWCC and concentrating on reaaally getting hydration on my hair, anything less than 350ml will be used way too fast now that my hair is getting longer! I better stick to big affordable stuff lol

[Begemot]

My stash has fluctuated a lot this year. Officially I have used 19 products so far. This year I have used one whole bottle of shampoo and four half empty shampoos, also shared a shampoo for some time with my SO but I didn't count that in the Project use it up challenge. Shampoos left at the moment:

- 200 ml Vichy Dercos Soothing shampoo
- 400 ml L'Oreal Elvital Low shampoo
- 250 ml Dermosil Deep cleansing shampoo
- 100 ml TRESemme Luxurious Moisture shampoo

I have used five whole bottles of conditioner and tossed one half empty away. The ones I have:

- 400 ml L´Oreal Elvital Dream Length Super detangler
- 400 ml L´Oreal Elvital Anti-breakage balsam
- 250 ml Dermosil silver conditioner
- 200 ml NJU Peach conditioner
- 200 ml XZ Rowan plex conditioner

As one can see from this list, I'm kind of a sucker for masks and treatments... I have used six deep conditioning treatments (only? I thought it would be more), one Olaplex No. 3 and also one scalp lotion. Treatments & leave-ins left:
- 280 ml Garnier Banana Hair Food mask
- 280 ml Garnier Papaya Hair Food mask
- 280 ml Garnier Macadamia Hair Food mask
- 280 ml Garnier Aloe Vera Hair Food mask
- 300 ml L'Oreal Elvital Dream Length mask
- 160 ml Hair Biology Cleanse&Reconstruct mask
- 250 ml Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Pure Locks
- 75 ml Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructing treatment
- 200 ml Balea Mango hair milk
- 2 Balea Hair mask packs
- 20 ml DM Alverde hair mask
- 4xSwiss-o-Par masks
- 100 ml Sim System 4 Scalp lotion
- 3xIkoo infusions thermal hair wrap
- 400 ml Garnier Fructis Aloe Air-dry cream
- 50 ml Phyto Hair cream
- 60 ml TRESemme Heat protection spray
- 250 ml Urtekram Aloe Vera leave-in spray
- 200 ml Natura Siberica Scalp scrub
- 100 ml Revolution Beauty London Rainbow Shot

4 items rehomed and 4 or 5 products tossed. Some products I'm trying to get rid of:
- 125 ml Phyto Sun protection spray
- 385 ml OGX O2 conditioner
- 280 ml Yes to Carrots Scalp Relief conditioner

40 left + 9 products rehomed or tossed + 3 products I'll be ridding myself of as soon as possible.

[pisinoe]

Used up a 400ml bottle of Pantene Repair conditioner. Not repurchasing - I can't stand the smell anymore.

[Arciela]

Used up the last of the Hawaiian Silky conditioner. Won't repurchase - has cones and my hair doesn't really like them.

Finally almost used up my stash! Just 2 more conditioners to go and then that's it.

[Begemot]

I'm almost done with L'Oreal Dream Length conditioner (400 ml) and Sim System 4 Scalp lotion (100 ml) :cheese:

[lapushka]

Used up another Pantene Aqua Light shampoo today. I only have 250ml bottles left right now, and finished my first one of those up. Before that I had *big* sizes, 500ml and in the end 300ml. I "only" have half a box of them left right now, and then they will be gone... forever. They stopped making those a while ago. Where I live you can no longer get them, at least.

[Dark40]

Today I've used up a 25.4oz bottle of Herbal Essence Shampoo for Permed and Color-Treated Hair.

[Begemot]

I'm almost done with L'Oreal Dream Length conditioner (400 ml) and Sim System 4 Scalp lotion (100 ml) :cheese:

These got used up. Next should be Banana Hair Food mask, it has max. two applications left.

[Begemot]

Gave away two unwanted products, now I have three left (two conditioners and a spray). Wondering if I could manage to sell them since I've tried these max. twice.

[ExpectoPatronum]

I've recently found products that actually work for my hair, which means I'm left with a lot of products that I'm not using. I have one favorite styler and I'm determined to not repurchase it until I use up the rest of my stash. I don't have a ton to use up, but I'm aiming for a very minimalist collection/routine.

Conditioners:
Love Beauty Planet Smoothing
Love Beauty Planet Positively Shiny
Pantene for curly hair

Stylers:
Jessicurl Rockin' Ringlets
Jessicurl Confident Coils
Devacurl Supercream
Devacurl ArcAngel

[pisinoe]

Used up one bottle of HH Hello Hydration conditioner and one of H&S Sensitive Scalp Shampoo. Currently working on Garnier Whole Blends Argan and Almond Oil conditioner.

[RunOnCaffeine]

https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39133&d=1574450107

I'm not too bothered about my shampoo and conditioner because I know I get through it. The harder thing for me is using up styling products.

All these are what I have left to use, most of which I probably won't repurchase. The one in the unmarked bottle is the OGX keratin oil as the original pump broke. I've had that shimmer spray for several years and it's still not empty!

[Sparkles122]

I try to use some things up...and then I just go and buy more. I think I have almost 100 conditioners... I think I need to put myself on a no buy

[Arciela]

Used up a tub of Davines Conditioner. Still got a few more things to go! I've had myself on a no buy rule for a year now and my stash has shrunk significantly.

I'll be happy once its finally all gone and I can stick with only a few products :flower:

[lapushka]

I used up my 40th product for the year (see project use it up thread for this year).

Last year I used up 40, this means I have 5 washes left to get some other stuff empty. LOL. My shampoo will be gone next week, I think. So there's that. ;)

I'm celebrating over here; also less came in than went out, so I am going through my stash slowly but surely! :)

[MissMarmiladka]

I have quite a lot laying around so I'm having a no buy until I've finished all of these:

The Body Shop Banana Shampoo
Palmers Coconut Oil Formula
Aesop Colour protection Shampoo
Rituals travel size shampoo
Bonacure travelsize shampoo

The Body Shop Banana Conditioner
Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Conditioner
Aesop Colour protection Conditioner
Rituals travel size Conditioner
Bonacure travelsize Conditioner

L’oreal Age perfect toner

Bonacure travelsize CC cream

Jojoba oil
Avocado oil
Dabur Amla Oil
Jamaican Mango & Lime Black Castor oil Argan
The Body Shop Banana mask

[Siv]

@MissMarmiladka I remember loving the Body Shop Banana Conditioner when I was at around APL-BSL, how are you finding it? I have a lot more porous ends nowadays so I find my hair has other needs than it used to, but I'm slightly tempted to put the Banana conditioner on my wish list again just because I remember loving it...

Speaking of, I've found far less goes into my stash when I keep a "curated" wish list, it's as if my urge to try new things is curbed a little bit just by putting it on the list :laugh:

I used up my Garnier Respons (Ultimate Blends) Maple deep treatment some days ago! It took me about a year to use it up and I was using quite a bit every time I wash too

[desisparkles]

Finished my gvp conditioning balm. Yay! Mixed rice water in the bottle and shook to get the rest of it out and double conditioned like that with a shower cap over for a few songs. Hair came out nice!

[Chocowalnut]

I am going to try to join this challenge. I have so many hair products though, especially leave-in/styling products, that I feel like I will never get through them all.

[Siv]

By the way, what's the difference between this challenge, and the "Project Use It Up *insert year here*"?

[Dark40]

Today I've gotten rid of: Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Breakage Defense Shampoo 250ml

[Dark40]

I've used up berrylicious smoothie, shower gel, shampoo, and bubble bath 710ml.

[MusicalSpoons]

I can't remember when I last posted but I have a stash of non-hair toiletries as well as hair products (and hair toys - gradually getting through what I use and what I don't with those). My problem recently is trying and opening moisturisers and my skin rebelling before I ever get to finish it. So I'm going to make more of an effort to repurpose things if possible.

... looking around me, I have 19 different creams/moisturisers open - quite a few are sample sizes, thank goodness! But that's still pretty terrible - plus another 4 in the bathroom :bigeyes: stupid, stupid wretched skin :brickwall: My hands can take about half of them in moderation, whereas my face actively agrees with one and tolerates 2 or mayyybe 3 others used occasionally :doh: Harrumph!

In the last 6 months or so I have finished:
500ml SBC Arnica shower cream
10ml lavender essential oil x2
15ml lavender EO
45g Lush Dream Cream
10g Lush Charity Pot cream
15g Hydrocortisone
30g Eumovate cream

I also used up 3x125ml Sukin moisturisers from my stash, before my skin became truly problematic (not sure how long ago but considerably longer than the past 6 months).

I have 9 jars open, but I layer, morning & night, different things. One of them is my Nivea blue tin, then a hyaluronic acid serum, a vitamin C serum, and another serum (caviar, oh so nice) and the rest are moisturizers with HA in them.

I am very loyal to my skincare!

[Dark40]

Today I've used up a bottle of Alberto VO5 Extra Body Volumizing Conditioner 443ml
Dove Repair Therapy Shampoo 188ml

[MusicalSpoons]

Used up 10ml sample of Lush Helping Hands

Woohoo! 1 down, 18 moisturisers to go ... :rolleyes:

[PallasAthena]

I've been challenging myself to use up my stash and not purchase anything new this year, so this is perfect! I did break my promise when I got a gift card for Bath and Body Works, but that was for body stuff, so I'm not going to list that. Here is what I used up since January 2020:

LUSH Big Shampoo
Alikay Naturals Co-Wash Me Conditioning Cleanser
VO5 Kiwi Lime Squeeze Conditioner
Garnier Fructis Nourishing One Minute Hair Mask w/ Coconut Extract

During the winter I co-wash during the week then clarify and hair mask once a week, so that's why I went through two co-washes and only one shampoo and mask. Now that it is summer I shampoo and condition every other day, so we'll see what kind of empties appear!

[Iyashikei]

Just trying to get rid of my shampoo, but why am I doing two months over the last little bit on the bottom? It's like it magically refills everytime I use it.

[lapushka]

Just trying to get rid of my shampoo, but why am I doing two months over the last little bit on the bottom? It's like it magically refills everytime I use it.

I get that. Right now I'm trying to finish up a gel & serum. It's like the bottle & tube that keep on giving. :lol:

But I'm sure we'll eventually finish them up! :thumbsup:

[ioanaxena]

I don't have way too many products, but in the last month I almost bought unnecessary things and stopped at the last minute (thank god that online shopping means you can leave products in the basket and come later to order, if I was in an actual store I'd most probably bought the items because I feel pressured).

So this is my stash:

Shampoos:
L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 700 ml
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 250 ml
Wash & Go 100% Volume 400 ml
As I Am Curl Clarity Shampoo 237 ml
Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shampoo 384 ml

Conditioners:
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 200 ml
L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 400 ml
Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream 355 ml

Hair masks:
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 300 ml
L'Oreal Paris Extraordinary Oil with Jojoba Oil 300 ml

Leave-ins:
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long No Haircut Cream 200 ml
L'Oreal Paris Oil Luxury Double Elixir 200 ml
New Well Bioenergy Hair Oil 100 ml

Treatments:
Gerovital Petroleum Regenerating Lotion with Ricin Oil, Vitamins A and E 100 ml

I may get another hair oil because I really thought about it a lot, and its quite inexpensive, but I'll postpone that until I have to go to a store that has it. Other than that, I want to stay accountable and use the products that I already have before purchasing other things.

[Jo Ann]

1 jar MP Wildfire hair dye (gave away)
1 jar MP Vampire Red hair dye (gave away)
1 bottle Joico Moisture Recovery conditioner (after 15 years :shocked: )
1 bottle SM JBCO leave-in conditioner
1 bottle OGX Tsubaki shampoo
1 bottle OGX Kukui Oil conditioner
and another bottle of HH bites the dust :cheer:

[MusicalSpoons]

Used up two more creams :cheer:

60ml Meadows Aroma Primrose and Borage cream
60ml Mother Nature's Goodies Almond and Sandalwood cream

Down to 16 moisturisers ...

[MusicalSpoons]

Me again. Used up

250ml FemFresh cranberry (used as shower gel)
60ml Meadows Aroma Lavender and Tea Tree cream.

15 moisturisers left! I think I'll have to use one of the many containing dimethicone maybe once a day or I'll never use those up :hmm: We'll see how long my skin puts up with it, but if it's during the daytime then it won't be on for *too* long thanks to all the handwashing.

[ioanaxena]

I finally finished the Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream, I had it for about a year now. So now I have:

Shampoos:

Now I'm trying to use up my 700 ml shampoo, I've used about half of it. I should've never bought it, it's such a big bottle and I don't like it so much (not a bad shampoo, it's just not so nourishing as I'd like it to be).

[Siv]

I'm finally down to the point where I only have one extra silicone free conditioner, and no extra silicone conditioner! (The heat protectant and styling categories don't technically have superfluous products, its more that the categories are superfluous themselves lol!) The rest of the categories do still have superfluous products... A small win for me though!

One less shampoo, two conditioners an the Olaplex only have a few uses left, and I'm chucking the Cassia. :yay:

By the way, what are your goals with this challenge? I'm trying to minimalise all my belongings, and after tracking my haircare use I think I'll do well with

Coconut oil
Sulfate shampoo
Protein conditioner
Moisture conditioner
Silicone conditioner
Some sort of leave in for infrequent use and/or detangling, preferably in a small bottle
Heat protectant

I currently also have some curl products, but with this long hair they're not working for me. I'm undecided about chucking them out though.

And yes, it's not a minimal routine, but I've had so many random products that I don't use and duplicates of stuff I do use that it's all felt overwhelming,

[PallasAthena]

My goal is first and foremost to use up some of this stash before it goes bad. I unfortunately tend to shop for self care stuff when I am stressed and ended up with waaay too much stuff. The hair stuff is worst because I also experience a lot of hair shed when I am stressed so then, of course, I want to try all the products to remedy it.

Number two goal is to figure out what I really need and don't need. I definitely don't need all these styling products. I will probably end up with:
cowash
clarifying shampoo
leave-in
gel
hairspray? I'm not even sure about that one.

My goal is to see how much I use, and what I don't use so that I won't buy again. I did stock up last winter, but I've got 4 bottles of conditioner in the bathroom, and three shampoo. I used to buy so many hair products and then just never use them. I've got several styling products that I'm trying to use up, and I already know what I don't plan to repurchase.

[Siv]

hairspray? I'm not even sure about that one.

I have a small one in my purse because pepper spray is illegal for civillians where I live, but hairspray is quite effective... A bit OT sorry :P But I do suppose I could use it for my hair if I ever want to! :lol:

[ioanaxena]

By the way, what are your goals with this challenge?

As you said, I want to cut down on my products. I want to have only one type of shampoo, conditioner and mask. I will continue to use coney leave ins/hair oils for the damaged parts of my hair, but, after cutting the dyed length, I may not need anything else. We'll see how my virgin hair will react to just a few products.

[PallasAthena]

Thanks, Siv! I always like to to know about multiple uses for products!

[ioanaxena]

Today I finished a hair mask and a leave-in :). I am surprised at how long the products hold me, considering I wash hair everyday.

Shampoos:
L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 700 ml - there is still some shampoo left in this bottle. I do believe it magically refills itself, as some of you said previously :laugh:.
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 250 ml
Wash & Go 100% Volume 400 ml
As I Am Curl Clarity Shampoo 237 ml
Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shampoo 384 ml

Conditioners:
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 200 ml
L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 400 ml

Hair masks:
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 300 ml

Leave-ins:
L'Oreal Paris Oil Luxury Double Elixir 200 ml
New Well Bioenergy Hair Oil 100 ml - I've had this oil for more than 1 and a half years and I still have about half of a bottle left. I don't like it, but I also can't throw it away, I feel bad if I buy something and I don't use it all.
Pantene Pro-V Argan Oil Therapy 100 ml - new purchase

Treatments:
Gerovital Petroleum Regenerating Lotion with Ricin Oil, Vitamins A and E 100 ml - I always buy a new bottle every month. I believe that this makes my baby hairs grow stronger (it's the first time in my life that those little hairs grew longer than 2 inches).

[Siv]

Used up my cone and my protein conditioners, and bought a replacement for each so there's not been much change. But I think I'm going to do a cleanout this weekend and chuck some stuff that has definitely gone way beyond the use-by date, but still works, but I'm not using... Like the Cassia. It was poor quality anyway.

Aussie Moist Shampoo

Conditioners:

[MusicalSpoons]

I've kind of lost track of how many moisturisers but I've used up

10ml l'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream
10ml Lush Handy Gurugu sample (think I will be buying the large size :D)

My hair stash is more reasonable/manageable having taken out the conditioners that I don't think will do much for me, but I've not been able to sell them yet. I will have to make a body/moisturisers list though I think, so I can keep track. (Need some brainpower for that.)

[Dark40]

This pass Monday I forgot to say that I've gotten rid of a 16oz bottle of Isoplus Wrap Lotion, a few sample packets of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo & Conditioner, Garnier Furctis Damage Eraser Conditoiner, ScalpCare sample shampoo & conditoner, Head & Shoulders Dandruff Care Conditoiner, and Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Defense Shampoo & Conditioner.

[MusicalSpoons]

Used up 100ml Bayliss and Harding Rose bath crème (as shower gel)
Gave away 50ml Liz Earl botanical shampoo

[ioanaxena]

I think I found the perfect combo for my hair :). I'll switch up between Sante and L'Oreal (the Dream Long line works best with my hair). I am going to order products from these lines to have as a back-up and will probably not try anything else for the rest of the year (unless the texture changes, but I doubt it will happen).

Shampoos:
L'Oreal Paris Dream Long 400 ml
Sante Naturkosmetik Organic Family Moisturising Shampoo 250 ml

Conditioners:

I finally used up my Garnier Hair Treats Papaya mask. It was just a little tub but it took me forever.

I put all of these away in storage. I didn't get rid of them in case I ever decide to do a chop and rock short hair for awhile.

[MusicalSpoons]

75ml Boots Apple and Lime bubble bath (as shower gel)
150ml Garnier green tea face wash (my face used to like it, but I couldn't find a replacement and now my face doesn't like it anyway :lol:)
10ml Lush Softy foot cream sample (as face/hand moisturiser) - sadly discontinued

I'm still trying to use a hand cream with dimethicone once on most days to try to use them up but some days I just daren't do it. The eczema on my left hand was reaggravated by something (possibly my conditioner :() and it's really not happy, which is making it hard to use things up! My limbs are okay with infrequent silicone use, maybe I should start using them on elbows and knees once a week or so :hmm:

My goal is to reduce my stash to firstly only products that my skin/scalp/hair like, and ultimately to reduce it to one or two variants of each product (e.g. one moisturiser for face and body, one type of shower gel, one facial cleanser, etc. I don't mind having multiples of products that I know works well for me but I still have so many random toiletries from before my skin turned so picky, and from when I was desperately trying to find anything that my skin liked - including shampoos, from when my scalp pioneered the pickiness before the rest of my skin followed suit).

[Dark40]

Today I've gotten rid of:

Alberto VO5 Extra Body Volumizing Conditioner 370ml

[Dark40]

Today I got ride of Pantene Pro-V Revival Essentials 150ml

You dyed your hair? I would love to see it! :)

[sipnsun]

Huge tub of Biolage Conditioning Balm that I have been rationing forever (replaced with 2 bottles of Sally's brand Balm)
Sample bottle of Nightblooming's Selkie spray (large refill coming tomorrow)
Homemade hair serum (will make another one when I use up a few more concoctions)
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day leave in spray (was not impressed so won't be reordering)

33 oz Paul Mitchell Fast Drying Sculpting Spray

[Dark40]

Today I got rid of Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Conditioner 750ml.

[Dark40]

You dyed your hair? I would love to see it! :)

Yes, I've dyed my hair! :) Ok, I'll try to take a photo of it with my phone. Because, the camera on my laptop doesn't seem to give off good lighting. It's not blonde but it turned out to be a beautiful bright red! :) So, it's not black anymore!

[Dark40]

I've got rid a HUGE tub of deep conditioner.

Treatment

5lb Queen Helene Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream

[Dark40]

Today I've used up a bottle of Fantasia IC 100% Aloe Shampoo.

Shampoo

743ml Fantasia IC 100% Aloe Shampoo

[Carrie's hair]

Wow, Dark40 you used a lot of cosmetics. I'm impressed. My hair, although long, doesn't absorb much of the product. It takes forever to finish one conditioner :rolleyes:.

[Dark40]

Carrie's hair, yes I know it is a lot of cosmetics I have used up over time. Well, some hair types don't absorb much product well sadly to say. I bet it does take forever to finish on conditioner :rolleyes:

I always thought it took me a long time to finish using a conditioner but I've decided that hey...I've had some of these product for 5 or 10 years, and I gotta get rid of them before they lose their potential of working for me. I hope I'm using the right word, *potential?!* You really need to see my whole hair product stash. It is still HUGE! That's why I'm going through trying to get rid of products so that I can buy and try new products. ;)

[Dark40]

I've gotten rid of a bottle of Isoplus Wrap Lotion!

Leave-ins

296ml Isoplus Wrap Lotion

[Scream-Queen]

I just used up the rest of my biolage conditioning creme. Never go without it. I use it as a deep conditioner when I dont use my regular conditioner. And have maybe one treatment left of the herbal essences argan and aloe deep conditioner. I liked it. But didnt care for the smell.. Others might love it

[Carrie's hair]

Dark40 ha ha, I also have a lot of hair cosmetics, but probably not as much as you. Recently I have been thinking to take a picture of everything, but unfortunately I have some in another house. Btw, is there a "show all your cosmetics" thread somewhere? :laugh::eye:

[Dark40]

Carrie's hair ha ha, I bet you do have a lot of hair cosmetics, but probably not as much as me. You know, that's a good idea to take a picture of everything! I've never done that. I just listed everything on here. Yes, I think there is a thread there a "show all your cosmetics" thread somewhere on here. :hmm:

I've just found the link to that thread here it is:

https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=71581&page=18

I have my whole cosmetic list there if you would like to take a look at it. :)

[Carrie's hair]

Whaaaaat !? This is your entire collection? OMG... No, I definitely don't have that. I don't have so much space :D. But the fact is, I'd love to see the photo. How to photograph it? It wouldn't be easy.
P.S. Thank you very much for the link to the thread.

Yesssss !!! That is my whole entire collection!!! I know, it's lot, and believe it or not when I was living in my other house I had a HUGER stash than that. I had 4 BIG boxes of hair cosmetics, and 4 medium size boxes of some more as well. When the movers were moving us they all said, "Dark40 must be trying to start a beautyship..lol" Yes, as far as taking a photograph of it I would have to take the boxes from under my bed, and I'll take a photo of what's under my cabinet as well.
P.S. You're welcome very much for the link to the thread.

[Carrie's hair]

Wow, I'm surprised. Although recently I was surprised how many cosmetics you have already finished. But this collection... wow... :)

[Dark40]

Yes, I bet you are surprised. Yes, even although you were surprised how many cosmetics I have already finished. Yes, that's just half of what I have now. Yeah, I know....this collection is a lot....I have a good feeling with me washing and co-washing my hair daily I will be able to finish it all up in no time....:)

[Carrie's hair]

That's good, but are you still buying new products? I decided to stick to only what works best. I also don't want to have multiple products from one category. A maximum of 2 conditioner is enough for me. If I need protein, I can add gelatin. So I probably forgive myself the purchase of a protein conditioner :o.

[Dark40]

Yeah that is good. Well, sometimes I may splurge on a product that's new to me that I've never tried before, and I'll buy it but other than that I'm trying to use up what I have already. Then, I'll start all over again buying a new stash. I'm also sticking to what works best for me too. I don't switch all over the place on different products. Yeah, I know what you mean about forgiving yourself the purchase of a protein conditioner. My hair doesn't like too much protein. It likes moisture more. So, I have only 1 light protein/moisture balance conditioner, and 3 really good coney conditioners, and 2 good deep conditioners. That's enough for me.:o

[Carrie's hair]

So you just like it :). You like to have all these products, since you already know that you will have another stash.

[Dark40]

Yes, I just like it :). Yes, I love testing out products and having them, since I ready know that I will have another stash but it won't be as big as this one. :D

[Jo Ann]

I just had to clean out from under the cabinets so we could have new water lines run throughout the Happy Hacienda... :shocked:

Now I can do inventory and have a better idea of what my stash is. Good thing I held off on buying more shampoos, because I found another bottle of Prell AND a bottle of Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo (where was THAT?!?) and other stuff I either didn't know I had or had forgotten I had, like four bottles of Head and Shoulders shampoo and three large bottles of purple shampoo :bigeyes:

Oh yeah, I remember Prell so much. That was back in the 1970s and 1980s. You be surprised when you clean out your stash from under your cabinet or from under your bed what you really have in your stash! Oh yeah, I also remember Suave Clarifying Shampoo as well! Oh, I still have some of the old Head and Shoulders Shampoo (The one for oily hair), and I've had it for 20 years! Oh, I love Head and Shoulders Shampoos and Conditioners that they make these days! I've just bought some Head and Shoulders Smoothing Shampoo to go along with the Conditioner that I've had for 10 years, and never used until a month ago. I also have purple shampoo too! (The Clairol Shimmer Lights one). I only use that once or twice a month on my highlighted hair. :bigeyes:

Today I've used up a bottle of Hawaiian Silky Detangling Conditioning Spray 474ml.
Also, a bottle of Isoplus Wrap Lotion 296ml.

[Siv]

FINALLY got around to updating my lists :lol:

HAIR STASH -----

Sulfate free shampoos ----
- Probably won't be getting more in this category. For now, at least.

SLS shampoos --------------
- John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo
- N.A.E Shampoo bar repair

Conditioners -----------------
- John Frieda Go blonder conditioner
- Tresemmé Moisture rich conditioner

Treatments -------------------
- Olaplex No 3
- Garant Organic coconut oil, diy infused with herbs

Leave-ins ---------------------
- CCS Aloe vera gel
- Better You Argan oil (organic)
- Balmain Silk Perfume (silicone serum)
- Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse (natural serum)

Heat protectants ------------
- KMS ThermaShape

Styling products -------------
- Toni & Guy Volume Plumping Mousse
- Björn Axén Organic Texturizing Salt Water Spray
- Budgie Curl definer
I put all of these away in storage. I didn't get rid of them in case I ever decide to do a chop and rock short hair for awhile.

I'm working on using up olaplex, the oil and serum leave ins, and the shampoo bar which I only got because I was curious about how it works. The rest I actually only own one of each which has been my goal for a year or so (I think??) :D

[Begemot]

My stash is almost gone now. I don't even have any holy grail's stashed up.

- I have seven single use hair masks, can pick one or two to take with me if I'm away from home.
- One mineral removing shampoo, one medical shampoo and one mild shampoo for regular washes (all HGs).
- Three conditioners, one that I'm using up and two HGs.
- Two cream leave-ins I doubt I'll manage to use before they expire (since my hair can't handle very much product). Eventually I'll probably need to re-purpose or bin them.
- One silicone serum leave-in that will take me years to finish (current one is not HG but silicone serum is a stable product for me and this one is okay, not in a hurry to get rid of it).
- One scalp scrub that I'll either use on my body or throw away, probably won't buy this again.
- One scalp lotion (HG) and one scalp tonic that I use irregularly.
- Three deep conditioners that I'll be using up (one is okay but has too strong scent, one is so light that I'll wait for summer to use it, one is all around pretty good but not HG).
- One half empty Olaplex No. 3 that I'll finish this month, and repurchase some time again when presented with a good deal (HG).

I'm counting 8 products that are not HGs or single use masks. I'm working on Nju Peach conditioner, Olaplex No. 3 treatment, L'Oreal Elvital Dream Length mask and Pantene Pro-V Hair biology Cleanse & Reconstruct mask right now. Garnier Respons The Restoring Honey Milk hair mask waits for summer. Scalp scrub, the two leave-ins and scalp tonic are bit of a mystery.

It would be sooo nice to buy a HG hair mask but I'm staying strong and using up Dream Length and Hair Biology masks first.

Congrats Begemot :) My stash still exists, the only products that I have one of is silicone serum and a hair mask. Still own multiple shampoos and conditioners + at least 3 leave-ins.

Thanks! :o I will probably always struggle a bit with leave-ins and masks... I love the idea of using leave-in(s) often but most don't seem to work for my hair or I use so little that I can't manage to use them up before expiration day. I think I should just stop buying them but they tempt me lol. Just like with masks, I want to try them all.
Do you have a plan for using up your stash?

[Siv]

It's shrinking :cool:

Good job, Siv! :thumbsup:

Do you have a plan for using up your stash?

First of all I want to use up the remaining mask (Novex Coconut) and just stick to rinse out conditioners. As for leave-ins I wanted to try all LOL, but after a 1,5 year I think I just need one. The best I managed to find that is available around here and cheap is Nature Box avocado oil repair cream.
The shampoos and conditioners I like to rotate so I'm glad I have a few to chose. I decided the best way to get some new ones in the rotation will be "use two buy one" rule.

[Begemot]

Sounds like a solid plan, poli :) I also rotate shampoos and conditioners a bit so it's never as straight forward as just picking one shampoo, one conditioner, one mask etc. and using up those every wash. So this project definitely takes time!

[Siv]

Guys, I've run out of a category of product for the first time in over a year! Currently out of second conditioner. Go me!

I still have three serums, where my goal is to just have one, but they're like 10-30 ml each so it's been the category I've focused least on. So close to my goal of "one of each category" now!

I'm going to wait a bit with repurchasing the second conditioner, and use more serum instead. Not sure it will work, but I want to try at least.

[Bat]

I'll be doing this again in the new year, I have. Fair bit of stuff to use up

[Dark40]

I've just got rid of the Easy Straight Frizz Remover Kit. That's one product and still a HUGE stash to get rid of but as a little at a time it's going down slowly. :)

[Siv]

I used up the John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo AND conditioner. No, it did not blur the demarkation between sun bleached hair and darker winter growth... And all in all would've been nice if I had ~BSL hair or so, underwhelming if you have WL+ I'd say. At least for me. Heavy for a regular product, not heavy enough if you have the type of tangle problems I have.

They were replaced with the full range of Hair Food Banana products, shampoo, conditioner and mask.

Still working on using up my serums, but it seems they are infinite.

So, this is the current stash --

HAIR STASH -----

My stash is almost gone now. I don't even have any holy grail's stashed up.

- I have seven single use hair masks, can pick one or two to take with me if I'm away from home.
- One mineral removing shampoo, one medical shampoo and one mild shampoo for regular washes (all HGs).
- Three conditioners, one that I'm using up and two HGs.
- Two cream leave-ins I doubt I'll manage to use before they expire (since my hair can't handle very much product). Eventually I'll probably need to re-purpose or bin them.
- One silicone serum leave-in that will take me years to finish (current one is not HG but silicone serum is a stable product for me and this one is okay, not in a hurry to get rid of it).
- One scalp scrub that I'll either use on my body or throw away, probably won't buy this again.
- One scalp lotion (HG) and one scalp tonic that I use irregularly.
- Three deep conditioners that I'll be using up (one is okay but has too strong scent, one is so light that I'll wait for summer to use it, one is all around pretty good but not HG).
- One half empty Olaplex No. 3 that I'll finish this month, and repurchase some time again when presented with a good deal (HG).

I'm counting 8 products that are not HGs or single use masks. I'm working on Nju Peach conditioner, Olaplex No. 3 treatment, L'Oreal Elvital Dream Length mask and Pantene Pro-V Hair biology Cleanse & Reconstruct mask right now. Garnier Respons The Restoring Honey Milk hair mask waits for summer. Scalp scrub, the two leave-ins and scalp tonic are bit of a mystery.

It would be sooo nice to buy a HG hair mask but I'm staying strong and using up Dream Length and Hair Biology masks first.

Last month I used up NS scalp scrub, Olaplex No. 3 treatment and Dream Length mask. So Nju conditioner (for CWC) and Hair Biology mask (and maybe Honey milk mask) are next up.
I have Balea Mango milk leave-in lotion that I will try to use up. Garnier Aloe leave-in intimidates me since it's 400 ml and I don't believe I'll manage to use it all haha, not even half way through it yet. The only leave-in I have ever managed to use entirely was Bed Head's After-party and I kind of miss it a lot. I'm thinking about giving away everything else (3 products) and getting After-party... just thinking.
I'm not sure what I'll do with the scalp tonic since I'm sort of blaming it for couple of scalp pimples I got last month. I can't be sure if it was this product that caused them but I don't feel like using it, at least not right now.

[Bat]

I got so much stuff! It will keep me entertained plus should help with my dying urge, still waiting for stuff in the post will take a photo for sure

[Dark40]

Today I've used up an 865 ml bottle of Aussie Mega Moist Shampoo! Yay! After having it for 3 years! :cheer:

[Dark40]

I got so much stuff! It will keep me entertained plus should help with my dying urge, still waiting for stuff in the post will take a photo for sure

I know the feeling sweetie. I got so much stuff too! But I really think it's fun going to through my stuff seeing what I have and deciding on what I want to use for the day! It is entertaining! I've just ordered some more stuff too that I'm waiting for as well. I'm always ordering more stuff

I can totally relate! I just finished up the reconstructor

[Dark40]

I can totally relate! I just finished up the reconstructor

Oh, ok that's great! I still have a lot of bottles of the reconstructor left. I'm just going to continue to use them up and just don't purchase anymore. I honestly think the heavy protein in it is too much or too heavy for my hair. My hair doesn't like too much protein. It loves moisture more.

[Rebel]

My stash situation is pretty dramatic, I think I have to donate some of my products. My goal for 2021 is to become a minimalist!

My hair loves moisture too my scalp sure needs it, it's so dry lately, I'm sure it's to do with the fact we have hard water at my new place

[Bat]

I got about 30ish bottles of stuff I'll use it all! I'm not allowed to buy new stuff until I've used everything

[Dark40]

Today i've gotten rid of a 863ml bottle of Aussie Mega Moist Conditioner! Yay! And I still got a lot of stuff to get rid of.

[Dark40]

My hair loves moisture too my scalp sure needs it, it's so dry lately, I'm sure it's to do with the fact we have hard water at my new place

Yeah, hard water can definitely cause dryness to the hair and scalp. I used to live in a place that had hard water. I'm glad now I live in a place that has soft water. Are you still do your scalp hot oil treatments? That also helps with giving your hair and scalp lots of moisture

[Jo Ann]

Two bottles of conditoner GONE!!

I'm going to be re-organizing my stash next week :p Wish me luck... :shocked:

[Siv]

My stash situation is pretty dramatic, I think I have to donate some of my products. My goal for 2021 is to become a minimalist!

Good luck! :cheer: I managed to rid myself of 36 products last year, most were from the stash. I think I only purchased two or three products. Now I only have one of each except for serums, where I still have to extras to use up :) I consider that minimalist, but then I realised 8 different products may seem excessive to most people.. :P

[Dark40]

Today I've used up a bottle of Pantene Pro-V Co-wash Conditioner 592ml.

[Dark40]

Two bottles of conditoner GONE!!

I'm going to be re-organizing my stash next week :p Wish me luck... :shocked:

Good luck with re-organizing your stash on next week :p
I really wish that I had a nice HUGE room where I can store my whole stash of hair products! :D And, I can have them all organized in there.

[Bat]

Yeah, hard water can definitely cause dryness to the hair and scalp. I used to live in a place that had hard water. I'm glad now I live in a place that has soft water. Are you still do your scalp hot oil treatments? That also helps with giving your hair and scalp lots of moisture

Yep I do my hot oil treatments every few weeks, it helps :3

[Dark40]

I've just used up a 32oz bottle of Stabilizer Plus.

[Dark40]

Yep I do my hot oil treatments every few weeks, it helps :3

Yep I do hot oil treatments every other week, and yes they do help tremendously :3
I've been doing them for many years since the 1980's. I've always used a thick or a heavy grease like vasaline. Or, any grease you can find on the market, and when it's time to shampoo it out I just go through 2 washing cycles, and since I'm a frequent washer I shampoo daily anyway. So, all of the oils or grease comes out, and I don't have any issues. I remember telling this to one friend is she went, "Ew!!!!" "Gross!!" That's because she already had oily hair but her hair always appeared dry-looking to me, and that's because she was washing it everyday.

[GordonMurphella]

Vaseline? In your hair? Really? People do this? Yikes.

[Feral_]

Vaseline? In your hair? Really? People do this? Yikes.

That was my thought too. I can hardly bare to use vaseline on my skin (I accept it prevents blisters for running, but the feeling on feet is eeww). No way would it go anywhere near my hair.

Doesn’t it just perpetuate the cycle of grease, remove oils and re-condition again.. I fail to see how that can be good for hair.

[Dark40]

Vaseline? In your hair? Really? People do this? Yikes.

I used to think the same way too but yes, Vaseline! My aunt who is a beautician told me one time when she saw my damaged dry hair to either give myself a hot oil treatment with vaseline or I would have to cut it.

I also used to think the same way but my aunt who is a beautician suggested after seeing my damaged dry hair to give myself a hot oil treatment with it, and she was right. It really work wonders for your hair with giving it lots of moisture, and you don't have to use a whole lot. Just a little goes a long way, and after you apply the oil or vaseline to your hair and scalp you use a sulfate shampoo and do about 2 or 3 subsidings. Sometimes I only need to do 1 or 2 subsidings since I'm a frequent washer anyway. I wash my hair everyday. So, it didn't take no time for me to get all of the grease out.

[Siv]

I think Vaseline (petrolatum) is the "paste"-form of mineral oil (paraffinum liquidum) and some hair masks and whatnot use mineral oil as an ingredient with the same purpose as silicones :shrug: It wouldn't absorb into the hair I don't think but it could seal the cuticle layer I think, similar to other non-absorbing oils like sunflower oil

I wouldn't use either personally but that's 'cause I'm too lazy to faff around with any other oils than coconut haha

[lapushka]

I use mineral oil, have done for years (not currently though) in my oil rinses. I just don't use it on my scalp. Couple drops (also the amount counts) will do, and it is very nice in fact.

I would, however, never put mineral oil on the scalp. A natural oil will wash out much easier than mineral oil will.

[Dark40]

Today I've gotten rid of a 946ml bottle of Stabilizer Plus Pre-Conditioning Treatment.

[MusicalSpoons]

Finally, after a year, I have sold my conditioners! So that's ...

500ml Inecto coconut
500ml Inecto bamboo
500ml Inecto shea
400ml Superdrug extracts grapefruit and papaya
400ml Superdrug extracts aloe and mango
360ml Garnier Ultimate Blends delicate oat
250ml Henara Gold Shine x3

I am so relieved :happydance:

My stash just got organized better. Mom went through it, and she put the FIFO system in place anew (first in, first out). That just means the newly purchased stuff goes in the back or at the bottom. It had been a while since we had had another chance to get to the bottom of the boxes to switch it all out & around.

Discovered I had another Pantene Clarifying shampoo, 400ml (discontinued), and some Palmolive "anti-klit spoeling" (that just means anti-tangle rinse, it's not a bad word spelled differently ;)). And 3 bottles no less. That was such a major staple years ago for long hairs here in Belgium & The Netherlands. It is silicone free but it takes out tangles like you won't believe!!! It was loved by everyone, all around!

Also discovered I had an (old) Inecto conditioner still floating around here. Not such a great one, in my experience. But I'll use it!

So yes, we switched things around and I shopped my stash.

It's fun to just get to pick whatever you want from a pile of things, but... I have said it before. I am going to be taking a look at this stash before I go out grocery shopping. Especially if things are on sale! I will only buy stuff on deep deep sale, and if it's an additional % off just because no one wants it at the store and it's the last one left. Sometimes that happens. Then I can hardly pass it up, right? ;) :p I usually don't!

But yes, so much fun! New stuff to use on wash day. :cheer:

I managed to time my shampoo, conditioner and hair mask so that they ran out AT THE SAME TIME today :shocked: *mind blown* First used up products of the year!

Shampoos -------------------
Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana shampoo 350 ml - - SLS and quite stripping, at the same time loaded up with conditioning ingredients so the hair felt conditioned with slip afterwards. 98% "natural" but no real certifications.


Conditioners -----------------
Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana conditioner 350 ml - lighter than the hair mask but since I need heavy products this doesn't really have a purpose in my haircare routine. Good for anyone who needs a "fairly" heavy cone-free conditioner. 98% "natural" but no real certifications.


Treatments -------------------
Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana hair mask 390 ml - quite good for a cone-free deep treatment! Smells very banana. "98% natural" but no real certifications.

Project Use it Up

I did this years ago and swore never to end up in the same position… but here we are again. So many of these have been gifts that I haven’t used up yet, and I’m terrible for getting half way through something and then swapping to something else.

* Faith in Nature Dragon Fruit, 400ml (smells divine!)
* Faith in Nature Watermelon, 400ml.
* VIRAL Extreme Silver Colourwash Purple, 80ml (This stuff smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling awesome, but soon I won’t need it after growing out the bleach, plus I haven’t used it at all during COVID as there’s been no-one to see my brassy hair ... )

* Ethique Bar Samplers; 2x Frizz Wrangler, 2x Healing Kiwi, 2x St Clements, 15g ea. (Nice but dissolve if left in the shower, unlike my normal soaps.)

Generally it's for curlies originating in Brazil I think it's like a course of products used for repair, moisture and norishment. Which is basically what we need to keep our hair nice

Here is a basic example

Double post ..

[CuteCrow]

I think this is the thread I was thinking about when I posted on the "Project use-it-up for 2021!" (https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=153396) thread, a place to post my whole stash and then remove the products I have used until it's more minimalistic.

Shampoos
1x 60ml Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo
1x 250ml Umberto Giannini Grow Long Root stimulating Shampoo
1x 500ml Johnson's Top-to-Toe wash
1x 473ml Function of beauty Shampoo
2x 237ml Function of beauty Shampoo
1x 250ml Boots Expert Build Up Removal Shampoo

Conditioners
1x 400ml Superdrug Coconut Water Conditioner
1x 250ml Umberto Giannini Grow long Hair lengthening conditioner
1x 473ml Function of beauty conditioner
2x 237ml Function of beauty conditioner

Masks
1x 390ml Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Banana Hair Mask
1x 390ml Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Coconut Hair Mask
1x 390ml Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Papaya Hair Mask
1x 230ml Umberto Giannini Grow Mask

1x 75ml Umberto Giannini Grow Tonic
1x 75ml Umberto Giannini Grow Serum
1x 175ml Umberto Giannini Grow Long+Smooth wonder blow dry Spray


I don't have the energy to list my skincare right now, but maybe I'll do it in the near future because I feel like I also have more than I need in that area too.

I think I don't plan to make my list as minimal as others here, but still it'll be a lot smaller compared to what I have right now.
My goals are:
- Main goal is to keep a "one-in, one-out" rule, so no buying new products until I finish another one.
Then having:
1x Shampoo and Conditioner
1x Chelating/Anti-dandruff shampoo (I'm still trying to figure out if my scalp is just very sensitive to build up, or I really need medicated shampoos)
2x Masks
2x Oils
3x Styling Products (1x curling cream/leave-in, 1x mouse and 1x gel)

I knooow right! I was looking over my list and I have waaaay more shampoo than conditioner on there too! I’m gonna have to buy conditioner without the matching shampoo! - though, side note, I probably will in future anyway, for my oily hair I want a richer conditioner with a lighter shampoo ..

Wow, your stash is pretty much my goal!
I don't have that problem with conditioners here, both bottles are usually the same size but I still use more conditioner than shampoo. What I've been doing lately is shampooing twice, and that way I can finish both bottles more or less at the same time.

[Siv]

I managed to finish off my product hoard over 2019 and 2020, except for the oils, but it probably took me a year and a half! Now it's a strict one in one out!

I'm considering buying one shampoo and two conditioner bottles, e.g. 250 ml shampoo and 200 + 200 ml conditioner if I continue with my current products. For 2020 I used up 2.3 litres shampoo and 4.8 litres conditioner. Actually one shampoo and THREE conditioners is probably closer to the same ratio I had in 2020 :lol:

New update to my stash :eyebrows:

1. Bought doubles of the shampoo and conditioner I''m using because they were on sale! (Also: small bottles).
2. Started using the hair food macadamia mask and am loving it, even though I really miss the perfume of the banana mask.
3. I put the heat protectant in the leave-in section instead because I'm sort of using it as a "spray on serum". It gives great slip!
4. I ran out of the Balmain hairfume finally, after two or three years. Now working on the Nuxe oil instead.
5. I bleached my front bangs/fringe with two different box bleaches. It looks decent for being a complete beginner!

I've added a lot to my stash lately, though i'm in happy equilibrium so I'm not really "using up" my stash as much as I employ an 1-in-1-out policy

- I've been stocking up on my shampoo and conditioner since they come in fairly small bottles and I keep finding them on sale at random places lol (I'm allowing myself this as long as I have space)

- I repurposed the argan oil as a face moisturiser (1 out!)

- I rebought the Nuxe huile prodigieuse hair oil because it's just sooo good and lasts for years (1 in!)

- I bought the Elvital extraordinary oil rapid reviver because my hair food mask is about to run out soon (1 in and 1 about to be out!)

[Jo Ann]

One bottle of Arctic Fox Frose Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

One bottle of Tresseme ultra-moisturizing conditioner

One sample bottle of Simply Silver purple shampoo

One jar of Manic Panic Blue Steel Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

I made a dent in my stash since I last counted :cheese:
So right now I own 4 shampoos (1 almost finished), 4 conditioners, 2 leave-ins and a hair oil. I have shampoo for years LOL
Not tempted right now to repurchase any masks or conditioners, they are all pretty full. Maybe I will do it at the end of the summer, weather change usually prompts me to change products. Good luck all!

I've used up a box of Nice N Easy hair dye in the color of Extra Light Blonde.

Hey Dark, I'm curious what colour that turns out on you after your relaxing, that I think I saw you recently did?

I finally used up a litre of PM Tea Tree shampoo that I've been working on since about the dawn of man.

I finished my tub of Panacea by Nightshade today, will definitely replace it when I work through my stash a little more. Gave away a bunch of products I had been holding on to as well as tossed a few things in the trash but I'm only going to list the ones I use up personally. My mom loves it when I go through my stash and pass things to her that I'm tired of/don't work for me.
