Have you committed hair adultery? Did it ruin you and your hairs relationship? I used to think that me and my hair had an open relationship. I could use whatever product that I wanted, and my hair would always forgive me in the end. That all ended last week.
I can normally stray from my old faithful Tresemee Naturals
conditioner without major consequences.
My hair would act up slightly, but it would always come back to its
normal, moisturized, soft self in the end.
I've tried Trader Joe's Nourishing Spa Conditioner, Aussie Moist, and
Wen among others. They've been OK,
nothing to write home about. In the end,
I always came back to Tresemee Naturals and my hair was happy again. After hearing Willows rave reviews about VO5
conditioner, I decided to give it a try.
We used the same leave in conditioner (Giovanni Direct Leave In) and
oils, why not the same conditioner?
Apparently, this betrayal was the last straw for my hair. It freaked out! It started to shed and break, threatening to
walk out on me. It was dry, it was
brittle. It defied any style that I
tried. If my hair had a Facebook, I'm
sure that our relationship status would have changed to: Its Complicated.
After playing fast and loose with products, my hair
revolted. I panicked. I had to do something. I had to win back my hairs favor. I decided to start with our version of
flowers and chocolates -- deep conditioner.
I did an overnight deep conditioner (recipe coming soon). My hair perked up a bit, but it took some
convincing that I would not stray so far again.
After three straight days of co-washing with my Tresemee, my hair
finally came back to life. We are again
in a committed relationship.
What about you? What
happens when you stray from your staple products?
