Conditioners & Treatments

A small peak under my sink

Listen, I only have 1 head of hair so why do I have so many blasted products to use on it? .

2012 is shaping up to be VERY different in MANY aspects of my life … and hair is definitely one of them. Last night I was rattling on on The Twitter about not buying any new hair products so I thought I’d share that sentiment here on my bloggity.

Basically the thought is this:

1. Companies often contact me asking me to try their hair products.
2. I accept, but then have a difficult time doing so in a timely manner because of life, washing schedule, if I have hair appointments at a salon etc.
3. Due to that I have no set routine {which I’d love to have because, at this length, it would make wash time less dreadful for me}
4. My goal is to have a routine & use up the products I have under my sink.

I just finished my bottle of Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner but don’t see repurchasing at this time because I have a 3/4 full bottle of Sénica Senk Conditioner that my hair loves as a leave in as well a 3/4 bottle full of Nunaat Karite Combing Cream that my hair enjoys and I need to finish. That’s just on the leave in front.

On the shampoo front I’m still working on a bottle of Nunaat Karite Creamy Shampoo, a full bottle of Curls Cleansing Creme (which smells edible and I may save for if I cut my hair off later this year *yes you read that correctly … snip snip*). I think that’s it beyond my old favorite diluted castile soap that I used for years and still have a bunch of.

On the conditioner front I have a little bit of Nunaat Karite Conditioner left and a lotta bit of Nunaat Karite Intensive Mask to go through (which I mix with castor oil and my hair L.O.V.E.S!) and a Costco bottle of Dove conditioner.

Speaking of castor oil, I’m going back to that being my sealant. I used it for years then stopped (ask me why? I dunno). I used it the other day and was like “Why the hecks did I stop using this stuff?!”. It’s heavy but I use a tiny amount and my hair loves it! I’m still gonna use olive oil (I think) but stay tuned for a final on that one. I also still use coconut oil to mix with my shea butter as well as when I’m removing twists and braids for “out” styles.

Lastly I have SEVERAL styling products to try and finish, including Curls Quenched Curls Moisturizer (which my hair doesn’t seem to care for thus far but a more thorough review coming later), Urban Therapy Twisted Sista Curl Spray (which my hair liked the one time I’ve tried it thus far), Urban Therapy Twisted Sista Different Strokes Hair Serum (which I have no clue when I’m gonna get to try), and a 1/2 finished tube of Nunaat Karite Anti-frizz Therma Active that I’ll definitely finish on my or hubby’s hair.

I’m sure there’s more but that’s what’s coming to mind right now. *faint*

Another plan I’ve conjured up is to let other people do the reviews for me … like you the reader. If a company contacts me about a hair product, I could pass the opportunity to try it and review it within a set deadline to the readers in exchange for a written review on this here blog. What you think?

Oh and I’m doing the same thing with my lotions and potions. I have so many Bath and Body Works bottles under my sink it’s ri-flippin-diculous!  Chalk all of this up to another installment of Project More With Less.

What’s your product stash look like? Any plans on what you’re gonna do with all that stuff?

Until next time Glam Fam I wish you

Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Nappyness,
