Number One Mistake I See From People on Hair Journeys Is....

Jumping on hair bandwagons or switching up products because their hair "idol" uses such products. I feel this is the biggest mistake people make when on their haircare journeys. I understand that for newbies who aren't quite sure how to start up or create a regimen will go to a person who has been on their haircare journey for awhile for regimen inspiration. But a lot of times they don't tweak the regimen so it will work for their hair. The hair of a newbie and the hair of person who is been on a Haircare journey sometimes are in two different conditions. So deep conditioning with a moisturizing conditioner two times a week for a hair guru, who knows their protein/moisture balance versus a newbie whose hair is breaking a needs protein and not so much moisture is going to warrant two different results. Also I notice people will have a set regimen and will be using products that are working for them, but as soon as the next craze or blog raving on a certain product they will ditch the product that was working for them to use something that might not work for them as good or at all. Which as the saying goes: Just because something works for someone else doesn't necessarily means it's going to work for you. And, "If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it." So stick with what works for you. If using a sulfate shampoo, or using something with petroleum or mineral oil is working for you and you aren't seeing any adverse effects then don't stop using it because someone bashed using products with such ingredients. One person's hair toxin could be another person's hair remedy. So ladies please remember and keep in mind if it's working for you and you are seeing good results from it, keep it up!! Stay away from hair product/method bandwagons and unnecessary product switches!! HHJ

  2. so glad you said this. i was thinking the same thing. it does save you time and money. Im still in tweaking mode though. i notice as my hair gets longer it reacts differently to older products. and when i desire a different look i use different products.
