...and have ended up using for other things entirely...
I'm pretty new to LHC and only 4 months into co washing..and I've had a few trials and a few errors! :D
In the co washing thread I just totted up how much my monthly spend is since joining here and it's quite a difference to my unhappy pre-LHC hair..and I now have much happier hair! :D
I totted up everything I bought as well as the things which don't work for my hair.
However, Along the way..and thinking about it I have only really had one failure purchase which I am not even sure is a total failure yet as I haven't tried it again recently. My total fail was Tresemme Naturals as it dried my hair out for co washing.
I haven't yet tried it as a moisturiser for my skin though........
My fails for my hair were Aloe Vera Gel - my hair doesn't like it but I'm running really low on my expensive anti-oil make up primer so have been trying it as a replacement this week and it's not too bad to be honest.
My coconut oil was a fail on dry hair but amazing for a deep treat...and I also use it to get my eye make up off and whip a tiny amount over my face to get my foundation off followed by sls free soap.
I also use coconut oil for my nails and my skin..and I deep treat my feet with it mixed with salt to help any hard skin patches from walking everywhere.
I did actually buy honey to cleanse my face with but I'm almost out of it now so just use it if a spot crops up. It's gone a little crystalized too and I don't like washing with it now but may well buy a new pot.
I got grapeseed oil - not good on my hair when dry - but it's good for make up removal too and would probably be ok for a deep treat for hair.
I thought I had bought a cone free condish that was a fail- L'Oreal - my hair didn't seem to like it - but a couple of months later I tried it as a leave in and my hair now loves it!
Do you try what you get for your hair for different things if they don't work for your hair?
What have you found is good for other stuff..either instead of being any good for your hair or as well as?
