I've Fallen off the Wagon

So I have fallen of the PJ wagon and here I am yet again with a cabinet full of darn products. I think the whole breakage thing I was experiencing had me in a tizzy and I didn't recover very well. My only solace is that at least the products I bought this time around were purchased with a goal in mind oppose to simply buying it because I "just wanted to try it out" like in past situations. In truth, before my hair care journey I think the problem I was having regarding my PJism was the fact that I was trying to address my hair issues without really even knowing what my issues were. Now I feel much more knowledgeable about my hair issues, so when I go out and buy a product I have an objective in mind (e.g. stop breakage, increase moisture, improve protein/moisture balance).

So my most recent buys:
  1. Burt Bees Avocado Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment (99.33% all natural). said to add moisture and shine, and I have heard good things about, so we'll see. Given the price, I may not use as "pre-poo" since any conditioner can be used for that.
  2. Macadamia Nut Oil (100% natural). I plan to add this to my conditioners along with my other favs. What I did for my last shampoo was just add all my oils together to create a super blend and added it to my DC (not to be confused with my scalp oil blend). It will definately cut down on the time I was spending scooping out my EVCO and melting it down every time I pre-pooed/DCed (we're not talking hours here but annoying enough). It was getting tiresome. Perhaps I am just a little lazy.
  3. Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta Conditioner (100% ntaural). It is said to be a great hair treatment, but thus far I am not impressed with its conditioning quality. My HR has more slip and it is half the price. I will continue to play around with it. 
So as you can see, all natural, all moisturizing conditioner/products. I am severely lacking moisture right now, and I hope that these will help me along. I am itching to buy my trusty Aveda DR Shampoo because I am out, but I have at least 3 bottles of CON that I need to use up and I also want to try to find a cheaper,  more natural shampoo at some point. I will start with one thing at a time though--that's how I got into this problem to begin with.I want to get my hair going and then implement changes, and so far Aveda DR is doing its bizness. We'll see which ones are keepers or simply becomes dust collectors.
