Dependency on a particular product or products - Whatcha gonna do if it goes away?

[mochamadness]

I've never became too dependent on any particular product for too long. I'm too much of a PJ to constantly stick to a particual product for months on end, so I'd probably be a little upset, (i.e. when lacio lacio decided to switch their formula) but I'd have a back up for sure

NOW....The product that would break my heart if it wasn't made anymore....My Hair2Heaven End All! I would have to make a special trip and sit in her home and plead my case WHY the product must be made to better the world of black hair care! (with a few tears of course for good measure.)

Right now...the EndAll is the ENDALL (one stop shop) for my hair as far as oils go! If she changed the formula or stopped making it... I'd be taking the trip with beside you...

Heck, it's on the verge of replacing my Oyin Whipped Pudding. I mean, there are other things I could use but... Let's not ponder the thought.

Let's not even talk about if I couldn't get my hands on henna...

As soon as I heard the word about the pending discontinuation, I would STOCKPILE! I do that already though.

I would cry and be in total denial if QB ever stopped being around. Its the only thing that makes my hair act right

OT: Wildchild those are some beautiful thick twists you got there.

I definitely agree with this.

Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol Plus...That time a poster said that it was d/c I was on the verge of tears. Then I promptly emailed Sally's and got the confirmation that it is still on the shelves and the crisis was averted.

*shuddering at the memories of that moment*

That was me, my Sally's stopped carrying it.



I am pretty dependent on my products, I don't like the idea of products changing formulas or even worse being discontinued. Just tonight, I noticed Tressemme changed the formula on their conditioners to something really different and high cone. Thank goodness I weaned myself off of it while Using Up my extra products. All my favorites I keep stockedpiled anywhere from 1 extra to 3 or more just in case of emergencies.

I am dependant on CON shampoo. Totally dependant on it! It's my crack fix. Sometimes I sniff the bottle during the day to make me remember why I love it.

If that was to ever go anywhere then keracare detangling poo here I come. But it won't be the same.

But yes Mona, I think about it all the time. I am confident in CON since they have been around for about 30 years and I don't see them going anywhere. It's the lines like Pantene, Sunsilk, Dove (mainstream drugstore lines) that like to change at the drop of the hat, so I try to avoid making those lines staples.

I notice that a lot of the 'black' lines have longevity like a mugg!

Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one doing that. I feel better.

I would throw a fit over henna, too. My hair is in love w/ it.
