Can anyone give tips on how to use up conditioners they weren't a fan of?

I threw away a few things and gave some things to my boyfriend. Just staying steady with usage.

If they aren't too bad you can use them as a pre-poo or diluted them a bit and use them to moisturized your ends.

You can try combining them or adding some things to them to make them better by looking at the ingredients to see what is missing

For all of 2025, I used up 55 hair products.

For 2026, I'm going to shoot for 75. That includes lots of travel/sample sizes and tons of hair color items.

I'll be back a bit later for specific details. I have a derm appointment later this month and may have to pick up something based on her recommendations.

Wow! 55 is a fabulous number. Yeah, I think you can definitely do 75.

Reset today. I used some things but not close to using anything up.

I used the Madison Reed shampoo. I will put this in rotation for my first shampoo.
Then I used some of a small sample size bottle of argan oil.
I finished up with the Camille Rose Braid Spray.
