What's in Your Shower?

[dancingmegs]

Are you a minimalist who has only the few products you use every day? Or are you a product packrat with dozens of bottles precariously perched on the edge of the tub? Share what lives in your shower!

I'm pretty much a minimalist. I have the shampoo and conditioner I use every time I wash (Giovanni Tea Tree), coney Garnier conditioner I shave with, Suave conditioner for CWCing, a tub of body scrub, face wash, a razor, and some essential oils for baths.

[AJoifulNoise]

I am a minimalist, but only because I live with people who freak out if I have too much stuff in the shower. So, I generally have two conditioners, my soft soap, and a razor. That's it. Anything else I want is carried in right before I take a shower.

[jojo]

2 conditioners, 1 scruchie back scrub thingy, 1 shower comb, 1 razor, some soap oh and a red ball m dog put in!

[silentwisp]

I have a bunch of product right now but that's just because I've been too lazy to throw away the things I'm not using, like two bottles of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner I didn't like.

I only have two conditioners that I use, and some old empty shampoo bottles that I use to rinse my hair, since I don't actually have a shower all I have is a tub.

I also have a razor and two bars of soap.

[WritingPrincess]

Most of what's in the shower is mine, because I'm the only one in my family who isn't WO. So, I have coconut scented shampoo, coconut scented condish, Garnier Fructis condish, and a "rain scented" condish. Plus a razor, a shower cap, and a puffball scrub thingy.

[girlcat36]

I always wanted to ask this question!
Okay here goes---
Brown sugar, olive oil, honey, cornmeal, razors, empty bottle for vinegar rinse, Goth Rosary conditioner, Burt's Bees liquid soap, Mason Pearson comb, shower cap.
Here are the things in my shower I do not use---
Conditioners: AO Honeysuckle Rose, JessieCurl Aloeba, Giovanni Protein Treatment.
Also: JessieCurl Cream Cleanser, Babassu & Marshmallow CV Bar.
That's too much stuff, good thing DH and I have separate bathrooms!

[Xandergrammy]

I'm a minimalist in the shower because DH freaks if I have too much stuff on the edges of the tub, but a product junkie in reality. So, at all times in my shower, the only thing there is my staple shampoo and condish in Gatorade bottles (they come out of a gallon jug), a razor, and my face scrub. If I decide to use a different shampoo or conditioner, I put it in the shower right before I hop in.

P.S. I forgot that I also keep my little squirt bottle that I dilute shampoo in on the edge of the tub too.

[Carina]

I'm a product junkie.I love to try new products.But since I have five kids everything get used up by others if I don't like them.Even DB likes my addiction for new stuff.

[Sillage]

I have a ton of stuff in the shower.

Shampoo: T-gel , L'oreal Vive Pro for colored hair, and Rusk Purify

Conditioner: Fructis Long+Strong, Vive Pro smoothing for fine hair, Vive Pro smoothing for thick hair, VO5 kiwi lime

Bodywash: Periler Honey Cream Bath, Perlier Lavender, Irish Srping, SoftSoap, Ombra chamomile

Face: Aveeno foaming for acne

My razor, bath puffs, and scrubby washcloths all live outside the shower

[salamander]

I don't switch products much, but I do have a habit of needing two of everything, in case I run out. Thus I have two bottles of V05 Kiwi Lime, one of which is going to run out any wash now, seriously, I mean it this time. Also my heavy conditioner, Burt's Bee's More Moisture, tastiest smelling condish on the planet. One bar of soap, shaving cream and razor, and wash cloth. Also a tube of aloe gel, for putting on after WO and for use in the occasional impromptu SMT. Several strands of hair, because I never get them all.

I've moved the honey out because I was using it in tea, but it'll go back in just as soon as I get around to it. I move the face wash in and out because the time of day that I shower tends to shift, and the time of day I wash my face does not, so the face wash follows me. Also, I've lost my shampoo mixture. I think I left it at my parent's house. I think I might try using my face wash for clarifying. It's Burt's Bees Soap Bark, so nothing that would hurt hair in it, it's just a question of whether it actually clarifies.

Of course, there's a whole other list of things that are right next to the shower :). Only hair related ones are coconut oil and Aveda's Be Curly leave in.

[Kyamo]

Suave naturals conditioner for my CO, white vinegar and an empty shampoo bottle for vinegar rinse, body wash, scrubby gloves. Thats all that I use. There's also shampoo in there for my husband.

[DotDotDot]

If I had my own bathroom, I would have a razor, a bottle of soap, a bottle of shampoo, a jug of conditioner, and a... loofah, I think it's called? But when my sister is home, she shares a bathroom with me, and my mom sometimes finds her way up there when my cat is having health issues and is shut up in her bathroom, so we have two bottles of shampoo, two bottles of conditioner, a bar of soap, a bottle of soap, two loofahs, and three razors.

[Buddaphlyy]

I'm a product junkie, but all my stuff is in the linen closet, not the tub. I only take things out on an as-needed basis. Right now all I have out is a bottle of White Rain Energizing Citrus conditioner, a shower comb, and a plastic cap.

[lynnala]

I used to have tons of stuff in there, every time I tried a new shampoo or conditioner, the old one would stay. Now that I'm doing the BS/ACV thing, I've cleared out all the shampoo and conditioner bottles. Now it's just soap, my boar bristle face brush, sisal scrubby and misc. razors and a bottle of Eucalyptus Dr. Bronners that I've been washing my face with just cause it's there!

[trolleypup]

TJ's conditioner that I use sparingly as a body wash, TJ's shampoo for when I need to bodywash more intensively, like when I get exposed to poison oak. Diluted white vinegar for the final stage of hair washing, I'm otherwise WO.

[Cinnamon Hair]

Lots of stuff, but I prefer to see it rather than read a list. So if anyone is brave enough to post pics of their shower area, that would be awesome! I'll pony up first --here (http://feline147.home.mchsi.com/bathroom/). Those are from 2006 but my shower looks basically the same now, though the bottles & brands may have changed a bit. I'm constantly trying new stuff.

[AlleyKitten]

Top to bottom in the little organizer thingy, there's my razor, my boyfriend's razor, a bar of soap, a bottle of diluted Dr Bronner's with tea tree essential oil, my VO5 conditioner, a squeeze bottle for diluted shampoo or COW mixture, my boyfriend's Garnier Fructis 2-in-1 stuff, an empty bottle for vinegar, my Giovanni conditioner. I keep my shampoo outside the the shower, as I mix it up in a bottle differently each time, as with the vinegar. I also keep my oils, brown sugar, facial clay, etc etc, outside in the bathroom.

[sapphire-o]

My shower is small so I don't keep much there. I usually have a couple soap/shampoo bars, a bottle of ACV rinse, a washcloth, a shower cap and a big plastic clip to put my hair up.

[Nat242]

Big bottle of diluted shampoo
Bottle of my homemade shower cream soap
Bar soap
2 X bottle Pears cone-free conditioner
Big beer stein - I use this for BS, vinegar and lemon rinses, and it never finds it's way out of the shower.

[Schnee]

Hm... I don't have that much stuff really, and nothing is in the shower. My DH use all the space there for HIS stuff... Men..:p

[BrianaFineHair]

Just the basics for me:

Burt's Bees Shampoo
Burt's Bees Conditioner that I use to shave with and use to conditioner my hair once a week.
Vinegar and Water Mix that is my primary daily conditioner
Grandpa's Witch Hazel soap
razor

[Feisty Redhead]

I'm a minimalist, so there is not much in my shower.

Mane & Tail shampoo, which is only used once a week or so
V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie conditioner
loofah
Caress shower gel
Venus Breeze razor
a bar of my mother's cp soap I use to wash my face
Dove SkinVitalizer with a crocheted cover on it, so I can use it with the cp soap

[Shermie Girl]

I have the tiniest bathroom on the planet and not much room for stashing stuff in my shower, so I am a minimalist, by force. I have a big bottle of shampoo, two bottles of conditioner and claw clips and a shower comb in there, along with body wash and facial cleanser.

If I had a huge shower and tub, I'd have enough product to stock a respectable sized shop. :D

[hrimfaxi]

Also a minimalist here. When I do experiment, I still keep the stuff in my shower down to a minimum; the stuff that isn't part of my daily routine lives under the sink or in the closet, so my shower has in it a plastic cup for ACV rinsing, a bath/shower scrubby pouf, a razor, a half bar of solid soap, a half bar of solid shampoo, and whatever conditioner I am currently using. Even the ACV that goes into the cup for the rinse lives in the kitchen where it belongs. :silly:

[teela1978]

I'm a recovering product junkie. Currently I've been good about trying to be somewhat minimalist.

I have 3 shampoo bottles, one is empty for diluting the other two, one is clarifying and I don't use it too often.

I have 2 bottles of conditioner, one is almost empty (loreal vive something, pink bottle) and the other one is for when the pink bottle runs out (it's sunsilk in a blue bottle that was on clearance for $1).

There's a tub of noxema, and a tube of apricot scrub for my face.

Theres 2 bars of soap, the one I bought a while ago and the fancy one I got for xmas.

Then there's a jug of vinegar on the floor with a bowl to dilute it in.

That's it. It's actually more than I realized.

[Chromis]

I have one CV shampoo bar, one soap bar, TJ's lavender salt scrub, a razor, PLH African black soap gel (best thing ever for shaving!), a shower cap, a wash cloth, facial cleanser that I forget how to spell the name of, and a two cup measure in my shower.

[tiny_teesha]

I am still trying out everything, and as i have about one of every herb, i have a lot of junk!!! I try to keep most of it in my room because my family yells at me.

[jstar]

I have nothing in my shower. I live with three other university students in a townhouse; living in a dorm got me into the habit of carrying my stuff with me to the shower. When I do bring my things, they consist of.

-a wooden comb
-a bar of solid shampoo
-a facecloth

I like solic shampoo because I use it as a soap as well. Not having bottles makes me smile! But of course, I have other things stashed in my room:P

[Lisa-Maria]

I have as much as I can fit in om my bath tub edges, I really just use my Redken shampoo and cond. and the empty bottle I use too dilute the shampoo. Guess I'm just too lazy too through anything, and there's also DBF's stuff. We really need too clean that out...

[yogachic]

Lots of stuff, but I prefer to see it rather than read a list. So if anyone is brave enough to post pics of their shower area, that would be awesome! I'll pony up first --here (http://feline147.home.mchsi.com/bathroom/). Those are from 2006 but my shower looks basically the same now, though the bottles & brands may have changed a bit.

Well, my shower is used by three people, but I'll only mention my stuff. Garnier Fructis dandruff control and a little dropper bottle of tea tree oil to cleanse my hair (two drops of TTO mixed into a quarter-sized dollop of shampoo. Garnier Fructis moisture works conditioner. The huge plastic clip I use to put my hair up in the shower. St. Ives oatmeal and shea body wash. Poofy mesh sponge thing. Razor. Electric toothbrush and toothpaste. Washcloth. Bottle of honey. Small plastic cup. (My morning face wash is five aspirin dissolved in a few drops of water, add a glop of honey, and spread on. Let it sit while doing everything else, then rinse.)

[chloeishere]

I'll only mention my stuff.
I don't actually keep much *in* the bathroom, because the rest of the family complains. Also, I don't like leaving my CP soap in there, for fear it will melt.
In the bathroom:
Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner
VO5 pomegranate grapeseed conditioner
Jojoba oil (I apply a few drops to my wet face before I exfoliate and wash)
Hippie exfoliator (all natural, made with loofah) and some Neutrogena "in shower facial" I'm trying out
Razor

Kept in my room:
Makes a trip every shower:
Small wicker container with CP soap chunks-- currently, Serpentine Hair's Forbidden Fruit half bar, CV chamomile citrus bar, Manor Hall honey me smooth bar (for body, not hair), and Yuzu soap sample that's almost finished, from Kreamy Soap.
Empty bottle that I put citric acid in, then fill with water while in the shower

Assorted stuff that sometimes gets used, that's also kept in my room:
Trader Joes Citrus Refresh conditioner
VO5 calming chamomile conditioner
Suave Juicy Green Apple conditioner
CV extra honey beer and egg shampoo bar
Few other bars of CP soap that I'm trying to use up, for body use.

There's also a few more bottles of conditioner in the linen closet; I'll use it all up eventually! I hope. And a couple unused chunks of various shampoo bars that are stowed in various drawers for scenting purposes.
There's also a bunch of other non-hair-related bath products and lotions that I don't use anymore because I don't like commercial products; I don't know what to do with them.

V05 strawberries and cream

I forgot to mention the huge hair balls from shedding.
Does that count? The only thing I use them for is stopping the drain!

Hehe, I forgot to add this as well!! I really don't shed much, but the SO is another matter. He clogs up the drain with just one shower alone, I'm surprised he isn't bald yet....

[Alley Cat]

Our shower is above the bath so it's a 2 in one. All there is around the bath is kids bath toys no products whatsoever. I bring them in when I shower and bath. :)
