I'm a recovering PJ, but it seems like no matter how many products I use, or give away, I still have a crazy amount left. I just did a rough count and I think I have at least 60 hair products still (which is probably half the number I had a few months ago). It's, for me, way too many to keep in a regular rotation. I just need 1-2 options per category (not 6 or 7).
I've got a few products in mind to put on the chopping block and will probably get rid of another 10-15 soon. I think I'd ideally like to have around 20 products or less. I'm getting lazier and less experimental with my hair, so I find that I naturally gravitate to only a handful of my products anyway.
In the past, it was hard to give stuff away that actually works really well on my hair. But I've been giving a lot away to family members who really appreciate having them. I think my next biggest hurdle in reducing my stash will be parting with products my hair really likes that I purchased online (and can't get on the ground). And this is just because I'm not sure I'll be able to get through the products on my own before the shelf life expires (b/c I just use product too slowly).
