Stranded! What Products . . .

[YvetteWithJoy]

Every few years or so someone creates a "you're stranded on an island . . . " hair thread. I thought I'd jump start a fresh one for 2016. I figure the exercise might help with regimen-nailing and also help us reflect on what's REALLY working for us. Plus, lots of new products have come on the scene in the last few years since the last such thread!


If you were stranded on a deserted island, what 5 hair products would you wish you had? What three hair tools would you wish you had?

Assume that when you got stranded, you just so happened to have your favorite cleanser/shampoo on you.


The cleanser/shampoo I would just so happen to luckily have on me:

That's easy.

KCKT, wet line extreme gel, clay, acv, avj

Hmmm. I should probably clear out my hair cabinet huh?

That is part of my inspiration for the thread: I'm not even a product junkie, and I have a LOT of products. And not only THAT, but I can think of 10 more I'd let someone buy me TODAY!!!

I thought: How will I ever nail my regimen when I keep adding and adding products and trialing combination A, combination B . . . combination Z?!?? What if I were on a stranded island . . .

So I goggled that string here at LHCF and there were already several such stranded island threads! Wow.

Your list is resonating with me like 80% just about!!!
