Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

How many chances do you give a product? One isn't enough... Not to mention it's a waste of coins.

I had a pretty good wash day this week, so I want to use the exact combination next wash day to be sure I like it.

In the flip side, if you hate a product does it get another try?

I agree that one time isn't enough. I've had my hair respond negatively with raw ingredients (e.g. oils, aloe) but when I've tried them later on in a different way, they work wonderfully.

If I dislike the way my hair responds to a product, I won't totally write it off but it will take a desperate situation and a very long time before I subject my hair to the possible horrors awaiting me.

Once or twice and that's it. And will take it back, or throw it in the garbage in a minute. I don't hold on to anything in my life that doesn't work! Lol

I give it to my sister, my mom or my godmother. I've spent too much time using things that didn't work for me and not paying enough attention to my hair to notice.

I might try something that didn't work if :

a)I realized that I didn't use it right the first time,
or
b) I used it with another product that was really the culprit.

For example, I thought grapeseed oil was a dud for me b/c of how heavy my hair felt with it when in actuality it was the leave in conditioner that I put on my hair beforehand that made it heavy.
 
I wish someone would send me the Eco castor gel. Can't believe I'm already finished with this tub of wetline gel
They may still have it at houseof beauty but last I was told, it's not on sale. I purchased a week ago for $2.95 a jar with the 20% discount. The jar is tiny (8oz) but it's probably because I'm used to that tub of wetline as well.

It's at the Sally's by my job now! I was just saying let me go in this Sally's and get some wetline gel before I forget and rush home after work. They have the 32oz. Also I notice eco styler has an edge control now in Krystal and coconut not that I use them lol
 
So my kid says something funny and I get to thinking, "hmmmm." Maybe this controversy on Shea Moisture could have been ignored but wasn't because we responded to their climbing prices and now it's on clearance and people are secretly going to be stashing right and left? :giggle:
 
I really want to be a devacurl.chick but $44 for 32 oz man.

I did an okra preppy and it's been magic on my hair. Hope to get similar results when I try it again. Then I'll deep condition once or twice a month and use rinse outs. My hair was so conditioned from the prepoo, it felt conditioned even after being washed with shampoo twice.

What is an okra preppy, and how does one do one? TIA!
 
I'm constantly trying to find deals on Deva stuff. Right before Beauty.com shut down I was able to get a value pack for 20% off and I just got another value pack during Sephora's last sale. I don't know if the deal is still running, but earlier this week Groupon was running a special on Deva products.

Thanks for the tip!
 
I didn't know MopTop was at Whole Foods. Could've been buying the cowash, they took it out of the Target that I go to

Ah man. I have so much DevaCurl products... I came to ULTA today to buy a microfiber towel and walked out with a DevaCurl Mini Transformation Kit and another bottle of the Set It Free spray and a One Condition, as if I don't have those products already and they're not nearly finished. Sheesh, I need your discipline. I told myself "no more shopping"
:bangdesk:
 
I was reading the CON reformulation thread and it got me to thinking.

I'm kinda OCD about things and for some reason, I've always focused on always reading ingredients. It started with food. Always checking to make sure everything is the same and I keep reading and reading until I have almost all the ingredients saved in my memory. Even when I buy staples, I still look at the ingredients. I don't trust anyone to tell me they've reformulated.
