What Bandwagon did you NEVER jump on? What Technique did you NEVER adopt?

[darlingdiva]

I'm just curious to know what bandwagon you guys NEVER jumped on or what technique you guys NEVER adopted (co-washing, growth aids, challenges, etc.)?

I'll go first: no-pooing. I never stopped shampooing my hair because I believe that shampoo serves its purpose.

I've never jumped on any "growth aids" bandwagons.

 

[**SaSSy**]

MTG and the cell-ovation were probably the only growth-aids I didn't use in the beginning. Now I wished I haven't wasted so much money on the others.

I did use mega-tek which only made my scalp very sensitive and itchy.

I never jumped on any bandwagon, unless co-washing is one.

 

[Napp]

i like to try most things at least once

 

[AvaSpeaks]

What was it, the MTG bandwagon? Whichever one that posters was using something for horses on their head

And I didn't get into the Sulfur craze, I mean it probably works but I just didn't get into to it.

A better question would be, which bandwagon actually worked?

 

[cinnespice]

Im sorry but what the hell is a lunar trimming schedule and why am i scratching up my scalp? And why am i putting monistat in my head?
Bad enough yes i did try cayenne pepper and it worked but it was over one day when it went into my eye and i thought i was gonna die from the pain in my eyes.
I think im good......

Scratching your scalp? Is it a special type of scratching?
