#UseItUp Challenge


If you follow me on Instagram  or have seen my March 2013 Favorites video, you would know that I am on a personal challenge to use up my products.

Why am I on this challenge?
First of all I am not a Product Junkie...
 My Definition of a Product Junkie
    A person that sees a new product and goes out to buy it regardless of if he/she needs it or not.

That is my definition. I decided to do this challenge because the products I have in my stash are items that work for me and the girls. I have a hair regimen that works for me, and one for the girls. I know what they need for each stage of their hair care and mine. The amount of products that I have is very sufficient for the job. To keep me on track of not deviating from our regimen, using up the products we have is necessary. It also keeps me from becoming a product junkie. LOL!!

So far, I have used up one of my Nubian Heritage Indian Hemp and Tamanu Grow and Strengthen Treatment and also my beloved Tresemme Naturals;

    Great Challenge! Mine would be more of a get rid of it/sell it because if I'm not using it, I probably won't. No more PJ'ism for me, I'm trying to stay steady and only buy staple products.

      That is cool. My issue is all the stuff I have (with the exception of stuff that I use for other people that come to me to do their hair), I use them.

    I'm so with you on this challenge. I have entire product lines that I haven't even touched yet :0

    I'm committed to either using what I have already or gifting them to someone who can make use of them.

    Great challenge. I won't be able to post pics (no account) but I'm with you in spirit ;-)

    Aww I actually just finished doing something similar (mostly bc I was just too lazy to purchase new products & we already had a lot). I just bought all new products to try.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
