I just decided to do a test today... I wanted to know if I truly need to use a leave in, curl activator gel, oil, styling gel and oil and a creamy moisturizer on the ends in my hair after rinsing it.
So today after I co washed, I put ONLY curl activator gel, a little oil and a little styling gel for a medium hold. I put a little more activator gel and oil on the ends.
I thought that my hair was gonna be dry... I really did!
The only difference is that my hair leaves less residue on my hands when I run my hands through it... which is a plus!
So I'm simplifying my whole regimen... I'm wasting money on products that I don't need.
I think that officially, I'm not a pj anymore!
This is what i'm going to use when all of my stuff runs out:
Deep Conditioner
Luster's Pink Revitalex
Co wash/pre poo conditioner
Assorted V05 Conditioners (I run through about 6-8 bottles monthly)
Protein Conditioners
Aphogee 2-minute Keratin Reconstructor
Elasta Qp Breakage control serum
Moisturzers
Worlds of curl activator gel
Shampoos
Aphogee shampoo for damaged hair
Suave daily clarifying
NTM
Oils
Evoo
Vitale mo body oil
Aphogee EFA mix
( I make a mix with all three, and add The EFA to my deep conditioners and pre poo)
Other
PCJ relaxer kit
Honey
Porosity Control Conditioner
Fantasia IC Gel with sparkelites
*I'll also keep a big bottle of Infusium leave in conditioner and some elasta qp silk heat protectant for those few times out of the year that I will want to straighten my hair.
This list is WAAAAAAAAAY less than it was before.

Most of the stuff on the list I don't even have to purchase all the time because it lasts for weeks and even months... I was serioulsy putting dents in my tiny little wallet with all of my hair care purchases. I wish that I had come to this realization sooner!
