So I finally went through my bathroom cabinet and hair stash and got rid of all of the products I know are just overwhelmingly bad for my hair (the ones with drying alcohols, for example). While I was doing this, I figured, why not use up what I have now of the stuff that I decided to keep, and then only replace as needed? I saw the thread about Use 1, Buy 1, but I decided to take a step further (because I know me, and I know I will hop on a new bandwagon every time it comes around because I was a full-blown PJ even before I knew what an HHJ was) and created an inventory. I made multiple categories (ie. shampoo, co-wash conditioner, detangling conditioner, styling) and selected 2 or 3 of my favorite products in each category. I put them into an Excel document and decided that those are going to be the only products I should have in my bathroom for the remainder of my transition. After the transition, I have a whole new set of products, most of which will be homemade, but for now, I am going to go with what I know works on my two textures. When I run out of something, I will highlight it in the Excel sheet and then go get a fresh supply. That way, I am maintaining control of exactly what is in my bathroom at all times, and will always be sure what I have and what I need more of, and won't go on a crazy buying tangent.
I am hoping this will save me $$$ and space since I am moving into my own place next year and won't have a storage room to house my crazy habit.
Of course I will try something new every now and then (hoping I can try most in a sample size to start with), and if I like it enough, I will replace an old product for the new one. But I never want to have a cluttered cabinet again, or spend ridiculous amounts of money for no reason.
Just a morning thought. I feel so free now with less clutter, and the prospect of breaking free of my PJism.
Now if only I could tackle my shoes...

its just seems so much easier to just be a PJ!
It definitely is easier to mindlessly shop, but I need to start saving some money and space!
