Same ol\', same ol\'

Do you believe that hair becomes accustomed to products after a while and stops working? I, like most recovering PJs, never give my hair a chance to become accustomed to one particular product anyway, but even if I did, I don't think that would happen. What say you all?

i read somewhere that the only reason products stop working is because theres too much build up on your hair. and clarifying every so often alleviates this. i just bought 1 liter of elucence shampoo and 2 liters of kenra conditioner and am in love,so this better not be true.

Yes, I think this is possible. My hairdresser believes in doing different treatments, but let's say there are 7 treatments. He does one each visit and then when the 8th visit comes he starts the cycle all over again, so the hair is always responding to the cyclical treatment.

So, for example, if you use the same Poo and CON every week for 1yr, the hair knows what to expect. It may not respond like it would if you surprised it with something new.

I have always switched up products weekly for just that reason.

I always switch up (since I have a lot of products in my hair care stash).

Well I don't know. I had one year where I used the same nexxus products every week (therappe, humectress, headdeass) for like a year straight, with only deviation when I got touchups and my hair was just great. I was in college, had NO money whatsoever and I got like gallons of therappe/humectress/headdress from family and friends 'cause that's what I asked for and I did not have option of buying anything new. I STILL only get superior results with those same products even tho God has blessed me with a little better cash flow these days and I can flirt around with other stuff every now and then. . .
