Three Strikes...

[baglady215]

So ladies, how many times do you give a product to work for you before you give up on it? I try to give it three times before it's trashed or passed on. Or, I'll put it away and come back to it, or try to use it in a different way.

For instance, I HATED NTM when I first tried it last year. It was the worst Mask and Leave in I had ever used in my life. Something made me pick them up again and now I'm in . I learned that I have to use the Mask without heat, and the leave in on damp (not soaking wet) hair. I love the line so much, I even bought the poo and the DDC to match!

So what's your limit?

 

[Poohbear]

about 2-3 times

There, there Mo', it's alright!

I used to be quick to toss but I've recently learned that most of what I have is good and can be used w/some degree of success, it depends on my application.

Sometimes, however, there is that one product, that one friggin' thing that makes you go "WTH" was I thinking when I got this? The Carol's Daughter HHB and the Elucence conditioner come to mind.

But, there is no set timeline cause I try many different angles (application techniques, product combos) before I just say adios!

4-6 weeks.

 

[baglady215]

4-6 weeks.

So you use it continuously for 4-6 weeks?

 

[adrienne0914]

for me, it's 2-3 times, but if i don't love it the first time, i'm already looking at it a little sideways. if my hair responds negatively the first time, it's outta there...

 

[Healthb4Length]

about 3-4 times and if it doesn't work, especially conditioners, I just mix them up with an essential oils and create my own concoctions.
