The reason why anyone becomes a product junkie, in my opinion, is because you’re looking for the elusive Holy Grail of products. The one that you know works time and time again without fail. The one you tell your friends and family about. And the one you force on your friends and family because they didn’t listen to you and you need them to know how great it is. Their hair and skin deserves the same happiness as yours.
The Holy Grail however is elusive. And unless you’re lucky to get it right on your first try, you might end up looking your whole life for it. There will be good products, no doubt. There are thousands of them around. But I’m talking about the best products for you. And as we’re all different,what’s best for me may not be the best for you. However, my list might help push you in the right direction if you’re wondering the beauty aisles with frizzy, dry, uncared for type 4 hair.
I’ll try to keep this up to date as amazing products come in and out of my life and I hope to have a definitive list (one day) that should curb my product junkie ways in the future because I’ll always know exactly what to buy.
Feel free to leave suggestions of stuff to try. I’m open for anything, why not check out some of my reviews to prove it! And now I’ve created a directory of all the products I’ve bought or been gifted to keep track of what else is good to purchase. Who doesn’t love a list?
