My One Year Product Stash

• V05 Moisture Milks Moisturizing Shampoo – This is a sulfate shampoo I use when my hair is extremely dirty or I want to clarify. I use this every 3 weeks when I’m not on a protective style. I love this shampoo just for its strawberry fragrance. Lol!
• ORS Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo – This is also a sulfate shampoo I use when I want to clarify as well. I use it interchangeably with the V05.
• ORS HaiRepair Invigorating Shampoo – This is a sulfate – free shampoo with Rosemary and Mint for dry hair and scalp. This shampoo leaves a tingly feeling after use because of the mint in it.
• Crème of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo – I came across this shampoo by accident when I was looking for the other Crème of Nature sulfate – free shampoo. Apparently, it is the original one before the ones in the Orange bottle came around. Although it has just one sulfate, I consider it a sulfate-free shampoo.

• Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner – I’m in love with this conditioner and as far as it ingredients will not change I won’t stop buying it either. Its provides enough slip for my hair and softens my new growth like crazy. I use it to deep condition almost every washday.
• Organics Hair Mayonnaise – This is a protein conditioner which I use to deep condition every washday. Before now I was using Organic Hair Mayonnaise until I found out it was almost the same price as Organics which is bigger. 
• ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner – I love this conditioner and use it to deep condition alternatively with Motions on my washdays. By now I’m sure y’all know that I’m in love with Ors products. Hopefully I’d have their whole haul someday. Hair dreams…Lol!! For now I use their shampoo, conditioner, edge control and Relaxer.
• V05 Moisturizing Conditioner and  Repair and Protect & Protect Strengthening Conditioner (not pictured) – I use this to co-wash though the last time I co –washed was probably at the beginning of the year. Co- washing helps to add moisture to the hair especially for ladies with extremely dry hair.

• Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer – This is a protein leave –in. I had a setback with this product which wasn’t its fault but totally mine because I used it to moisturize every day. I’ve learnt the hard way and would use this only on washdays or when my hair needs extra strength.
• Emily Millionaire – I use this product almost never. Lmao! I’m not a big fan of the smell though a lot of persons swear by it. The instructions say you can use it to deep condition but I use it to moisturize. I hope to use it more often this quarter and finish it cos I’ve had it for over a year now. Have any of you tried to use it to deep condition before?
• Mega Profective Daily Leave-in Strengthener – This is another staple I love. I use it to moisturize every blessed day except the days I’m lazy. Lol! I’ve used it since I started my hair journey and will continue to do so.
• Raw Shea Butter (in the empty Dax container) – Shea butter has amazing benefits for both hair and skin. Sadly I hardly remember to use this except for pre-poos once in a blue moon. Another product to start using more often this quarter.
• Elasta Qp Olive Oil &Mango Butter Anti-breakage Leave-in Conditioner – I just bought this product yesterday and I don’t know how my hair will react to it for now but I guess it should react positively. I was using the regular Moisturizer pictured in my Products and Regimen page till I saw this.
• Motions CPR Triple Action Leave-in Conditioner – Since I love my Motions Moisture plus I thought this conditioner would be okay too but I was so wrong. I think it’s my hair coupled with the smell but I’m not a big fan of this product.  You can read my review here.

• Olive Oil – I use this oil as a pre-poo and sealant. When purchasing olive oil make sure its extra virgin and not vegetable oil. I pour into the smaller bottle from the big one.
• Coconut Oil – I love coconut oil since I read about its magic for both hair and skin. I use this t pre-poo and as a sealant.
• Jamaican Black Castor Oil – When I was doing my research on what oils to use for hair growth, this came up and I haven’t regretted it since. I use it for my edges, nape and scalp. It’s quite thick so some ladies dilute it with either olive or coconut oil.
• Now Grapeseed Oil – This oil also has amazing benefits from cooking to hair to skin…name it! I use this too pre-poo and seal my hair.
• Wilmart Hair Grow – This isn’t a popular product and it’s really sad because it performs magic for my edges especially when I’m protective styling. I hope to see more of it on shelves in hair stores soon.
• Peppermint Oil (in the little black bottle) – I use this to pre-poo only. It is an essential oil and the only one I use for now. It makes my hair really soft and has a strong smell.

• Organics Olive Oil Smoother and Polisher Serum – I use this as a heat protectant only when I straighten my hair after a relaxer session or for a length check.
• Jack 5ive Activator Moisturizer Gel – I use this as a holding product. I totally forgot about it till I was taking pictures for this post. Lol!
• ORS Edge Control – For laid and smooth edges.
• Ahmad Earl Grey Black Tea – I just bought this tea yesterday. Normally I use Lipton yellow and green tea and Twinings tea. Black Tea is used to control shedding and give hair strength. Jen of Just Grow Already has several posts on tea rinses.
• Lipton Yellow and Green Tea – Same as black tea. Green tea isn’t pictured.
• Twinings Tea (not pictured) – Same as black tea.
