QuoteReplyTopic: Hall of.......SHAME Posted: December 31 2005 at 8:24pm
HFO, that's not so bad! I am not a product junkie but I do stock up on favorites. In the closet are 5 bottles of Pure-A-Teas that I bought before it was discontinued (Best purchase ever). And then there's the two bottles of Suave Naturals that I love and use regularly, two Suave Professionals heavy conditioners and a L'Oreal Vive conditioner that I save for special occasions, and several kinds of butters and oils used for skin.
I think my biggest hair shame was dying it 14 times in 14 months, each time with permanent dye. And bleaching it three times in two days during that 14-month period. But in my defense, I only bleached it because the deep burgundy wouldn't come out (which doesn't surprise me now, considering it was dyed that color about 8 times) and I desperately wanted my natural color back!

As for myself, I used to use hair ties with metal bands, repeatedly
left permanent dyes on longer than recommended by the manufacturer,
detangled with a brush, and would sometimes make split ends longer by
pulling them apart and then yank out the strand. Since making the
conscious decision to grow out my hair, I've started taking better care
of it, but I think my biggest Hall of Shame moment was when I bleached
it. Although it was a stupid thing to do, I really needed to get that
out of my system. At least I won't ever do that again. (I don't even
want to know how long it would take to grow out waist length hair
that's been bleached.)

I actually took all of my products out of my cupboard a few months ago and gave them all away. I REALLY should have taken a pic though! The box was just jammed with stuff.
Now, all I have is natural shampoo, light conditioner (Alchemy), some pure aloe vera gel, some jojoba oil and a wide toothed afro comb. That's it....really! (besides my herbs: henna, cassia, amla, indian herbal washing blend...but they don't count do they? )

I don't even use half of this stuff and the electrical equipment is never used anymore but every single one of these has been used on my hair at least once....and I have double-ups in the bathroom!
Post your own hairshame purely for research purposes and..oh yeah to make me feel better! I've learned from my ways and only shampoo once every two days and clarify once every two weeks and use mayonaise every month so it's not that evil!
