Why do we change products so much?

in Hair Type 2
Hi all. I can't help but notice how we all are constantly changing products...what is the deal?
I, too, am guilty and would love to find the perfect combination of conditioner and product. Is there any one product that has stayed on "the list" for any length of time. After the novelty wears off we all go on the hunt again. Ugh. :help: I still stand by Giovanni even though they changed their formula...but I sign on to naturally curly.com looking for someone with hair like mine to see if they have found something really great. I get so frustrated, does anyone else experience this?
Right when I say to myself "okay, I am totally trying that product" someone chimes in and says 'It make my hair dry, or my scalp itch or my hair didn't curl".
Are you pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? :toothy7:It's so aggrevating. What to do when your a 2??? (my little rhyme).
Have a great night.

I love my Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose conditoner... I'd die without it. It's all I need to give me soft, clumpy waves and I don't need mousse, creams or gels.
It's so great to not be on the product hunt anymore... maybe no products is the way to go if you're a wavy... especially a fine haired wavy!!
I do notice AOHR gives me nice clumping and huge waves with even a few ringlets. (I sometimes use a tiny bit as a leave in.) I might just have to try it alone over the weekend and see what happens. What would I do if I didn't need any other products????

If you HATE the smell, you can use Biolage Conditioning Balm instead. It doesn't smell bad. It gives me great results. I couldn't stand the AOHR smell.
CK is the one!!
as of 6/17/10 - I have to add Joico!

We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names and each is a different color. But they all have to learn how to live in the same box. ~Anonymous

Thanks hopetocurl....I can't use the biolage, it makes me itch. A lot of things do that to me. I actually bought the AOHR though and didn't mind it! I'll let you guys know how it turns out!

While I do like the AOHR, i had just taken it out of the shower to try and rotate in something lighter....
Back it goes!

There's a really long (old) thread with all these people going product free. I just laughed and sighed. I'd so love that!
No silicones/no sulfates since March 2008
Exactly!! Same here! And because we are PRODUCT JUNKIES!! It's a fun - albeit expensive! -- addiction!
