This is basically a minor rant about spending lots & lots of time & money attempting to get my hair just right. Find my Holy Grail hair products & routine but NOTHING seems to be doing it lately & I'm actually running out of money to spend & tired of the letdown.
I'm sure there must be someone else out there who feels like this every now & again.
For example, over the past few months I've tried CO for probably the tenth time since joining LHC & no matter what I do it's still an utter failure no matter what products I use to do the wash.
Then I saw the new Organix Moroccan Argan Oil products and also their Cherry Blossom line both which gave me my best hair ever for exactly one week. After that my scalp turned to massive buildup which I tried then only using the shampoo then only the conditioner hoping that maybe one of these products would still work but NOPE...had to stop using the line. Years ago I tried the coconut line & the same thing happened but I was hoping it was the coconut in the product not the product line in general. Next would be the new Garnier Pure Clean Conditioner & anti-frizz creme. They don't have cones so I thought maybe this would be a nice medium between natural & not so natural. All I can say is tacky, icky hair....blah!
I have the entire underneath of my bathroom sink filled half used product bottles to remind me of wasted money.
I"m going to order the Toadstool shampoo from Etsy next week & I'll see what I can do for conditioner but this can be a real downer sometimes.
On a positive note I've FINALLY stopped using a brush & a cheap Goody detangling comb for curly hair from Walmart has become an amazing tool to use. And also these hair ties from Goody. They're a bit bigger than an elastic tie & a bit smaller than a scrunchie. They're black & soft...made of a terry cloth material. I can say they are super duper gentle.
I"m keeping my fingers crossed for the new shampoo when I get the money to order it but trying to have amazing hair can at times be a real pain in the butt.
End of rant. Thanks all for bearing with me!
