Spring cleaning comes ’round every year, much to the chagrin of us product junkies. This arduous task is annoying because of the following reasons:

  • We are forced to accept that they are #hairhoarders
  • We are then required to take a look at their stockpile of curly hair products
  • We have to wrangle our emotions and make sure that there’s at least one box of tissues at our immediate disposal because TEARS ARE INEVITABLE
  • We actually have to THROW IT ALL AWAY ?
Essentially, Spring cleaning for us product junkies is painful ?

Alas, it must be done and we will prevail!

But, how G*?! How am I going to do this without pulling my curls out?!

  • Don’t know where to begin? Well, let’s start with where most of your products live: the bathroom! Ideally, you’ll want to keep one of each curly hair essential such as shampoo and conditioner, a leave-in, deep conditioner, mousse, etc. After selecting what you need, begin purging those items you do not by putting them in separate bags or boxes that will either be gifted to organizations accepting donations, or properly disposed of if they are expired ?Read more: Reclaim Your Bathroom with the Product Junkie Spring Cleanout
