I had a revelation

[Tamrin]

OMG! I don't know how long it took for me to finally get this same revelation. Now I do so much less to my hair. I definitely improved my haircare so thats what was needed. I have spent soooooooo much $$$$$$$$ trying everything on the board. For a while it was pretty ridiculous! I'm cured now. I only spend so much $$$$$ on the products that work for me

I must have spent thousands. Well I'm done. My last order was hairveda and that was 3 weeks ago. From now on whenever I get the urge I'm putting that money in a jar for something more useful.

I've been doing that, using up all my products..and let me tell you it is such a good feeling to throw and empty bottle in the garbage. Now I just keep one leave-in, one conditioner, and one oil in the bathroom. So far I've used up three bottles of stuff.

When I first joined the board, I think I spent like 1500$ or maybe more in one year on products and wigs. I'm mad that money could have gone to my savings.

I still have my urges to run out and buy something, but I realize that there is no magic in a jar, plus I'm trying to embrace more natural-kitchen stuff.

I too believe in KISS.

OP you're so right.

I could never be a PJ. It wouldn't help me @ all.

I don't co wash or pre poo. I just shampoo, use my homemade conditioner (I did buy lekair but gave it to my sister), MT and then moisturise my hair with my homemade moisturiser...if I run out of that I slap shea and olive oil in my hair.

Moisturising is very important for hair.

Simplicity is key BUT having said that there are women who have developed a routine with many products (usually trial and error) and have managed to get healthy hair.

I totally agree. That was my philosophy when I joined, but then I got caught up. After 10 months on here and bins full of useless products, I'm back to K.I.S.S.

This helps A LOT. I was going to the salon so much - I just had to stop & I started putting the $40 in my savings account. That money added up so fast! I'm only going to go the salon for a special treat from now on & the same with products - I will only buy something when I need it.

Man I could imagine how much money I could have saved. Now I'm looking at all the junk I bought and counting my dollars.

Thanks for posting this. I really have learned in the last three months that my hair does good with just washing and deep conditioning and putting my hair in a puff and leaving it alone. My hair is thanking me for it and so is my wallet.

K.I.S.S. is the way to go and learning which products work best for your hair.

I was a past victim as well. I easily spent over $4,000 on lacefronts, wigs, products, salons I even went natural like 3 different times following other people. I want my money and my hair length back lol. I keep it simple now. wash, deep condition, rollerset, and wrap 1x a week.
