Ya'll. We need a heavy handed w/ product REHAB!

[BeyonceCarter]

I'm too damn heavy handed with product. I'm sick of living this way.

My hair is pretty thick & MBL, not relaxed so this is how I justify using so much product but still.

Washed my hair last night, shampoo I used just a little, I know how to make that work since I don't want parched hair.

Time to use my conditioners, I took my brand new bottle of SSI Okra and used half of the 16 oz bottle. That's 8 oz of product. Washed that out my hair was so soft and luxurious, time to DC. I used the entire brand new 9 oz jar of SSI Riche Masque. My hair feels lovely and moisturized now but gatdamnit, those expensive products used like that in one wash!

Help! What are your tips for using less product (specifically conditioners) but still having soft, detangled hair? I need serious help.

use the relaxer method to apply your condish, girlie.

I wash my hair in sections. Also, using quality products helps me conserve.

In detail, I wash my hair in six sections. I shampoo and condition each section. Regarding shampooing, sometimes I dilute it in a large plastic cup and just pour it over my hair. Then I massage and rinse each section.

I probably use no more than 2 ounces of conditioner in my hair-- and my hair is extremely thick. Most of my conditioners come in 8 ounce jars and they last at least 3-4 months (I wash 1-2x a week).

I use a pump so that helps me conserve as opposed to scooping the product up or squeezing a pile of it in my hand. Also cutting product with oil helps and sectioning my hair does too.

 

[uofmpanther]

Sectioning definitely helps. I use less product when my hair is in 4 sections

I section my hair to get the most out of product applications.


It also takes a change in mindset. You won't use less until you feel like you can use less.

I am heavy handed too. I decided to order 7lbs of conditioner base. It was only $67 and I get to be as heavy handed as I want.


I always use too much or too little. I can't figure it out. I even apply in sections.

I say keep it up your hair seems to like it, so why stop? I too am heavy handed. I use jar of conditioner every time I DC.

HanaKuroi I'm heavy-handed, too. Conditioners are my hair's life blood. And my hair thanks me for it.

@Mahogony7

Early in my journey someone started a thread asking members how much conditioner they used and there were people from SL to BSL saying they used no more than 1 - 2 ounces to condition their whole head. I thought something was wrong with me and started trying to do the same. My hair rebeled.....Heavy-handed works for me!

 

[Mahogony7]

1-2 ounces and my hair would scoff at me. Naw. I like to be generous and make sure every strand is coated and smoothed down with condish. What works for most won't work for me

 

[Embyra]

I just posted how I'm halfway through my wen after two uses smh

Same with aubrey organics I can only ever get three uses out of those bottles tops :-/
