Im not a very consistent personSo even if i havent stuck with a product it is still good to me!

Any way what i have stuck with, is the simple things!

Denman Brush- I like it so much(D3) i bought the D4 a month after Now i mainly use the D4 i would love a bigger one too!
Coconut Oil- LOVESSSSS IT! Especially Vatika Oil!
Jojoba oil- I havent used it for a year, but i havent had it for an entire year either. I love this product so much! I have eczema and I now mainly use it for my facial moisturizer, because nothing else worked.
Herbal Essence conditioners- Im starting to collect more, but it is the only conditioner that i can comb my thick hair with.
A big tooth comb- Who doesnt like BIG tooth combs??
Scunci No damage bands- I LOVE these, but now my hair stretches them out too much in one useNow i will have to find something else
Clips- Especially Scunci No slip' clips. I love clips
