    Ah fuck this makes so much more sense now.

    I bought it anyway, it smells nice and I’m growing my hair out and my 7-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, toilet cleaner and engine degreaser boy shampoo isn’t cutting it anymore.

    I’m trying not to look like this when I wash my hair:

      If you’re somewhere in the world that has a TJ Maxx/TK Maxx or similar, go buy their random products that are on sale. Not all are winners, but if you change up your products and just experiment, you’ll find something you like.

      I have long wavy hair, and right now I’m on a Shea Moisture curl and shine kick, but before then it was the Verb Ghost line of products for a long time.
      Don’t sleep on after shower crap, either. My hair has been really dry lately, so I’ve been using a leave in conditioner by Shea, too (now discontinued, sadly). In the rotation is also the Verb Ghost Oil, and some random peptide leave in. JVN (Johnathon Van Ness) also has some excellent products, but we haven’t found them on sale in awhile.

      I don’t use all the after shower products at once, but each has their use. Once you get a feel for what you’re going for, it’s like having a shelf full of tools.
      And if you got a beard, well… use something and tell me if you figure out what works, because I still can’t figure that out. My hair looks great and my beard looks like it got lost in the desert.

        The Verb curl cream, orange tube, is really good, but so expensive per oz because the tube is only 5oz. My kid likes the ghost oil, it smells nice and adds the teeny hint of weight they need.

        I am in love with the Innersense Hydrating conditioner but didn’t like their curl cream. Just this month got around to trying their blowout/straightening cream and holy crap it works so well as a curl cream, no need for leave in conditioner it does it all. I still need something for hold, personally, but I comb/rake it in, scrunch, wrap my hair in a smooth towel, when I take it out, perfect definition and curls. And it comes in liters so when I get to the end of the smaller package can buy one that will last for months!
