✨ Let's talk about something we all probably overlook: Hair Product Expiration Dates! 📅🧴
It's easy to stash away those half-used bottles of shampoo, conditioner, styling cream, or deep conditioners for months (or even years! 🤫). But just like food, hair products do have a shelf life! Using expired products can lead to less effective results, strange textures, unpleasant smells, or even scalp irritation and breakouts! 🤢
Most products have a "PAO" (Period After Opening) symbol – that little open jar with a number like "12M" or "24M" inside. That tells you how many months the product is good for after you open it. But what about before opening? 🤔
Here's what I want to know from you all:
* Do you actually check expiration dates or PAO symbols on your hair products? Be honest! 👇
* Have you ever noticed a change in your product (smell, texture, performance) that made you realize it was old?
* What are your tips for keeping track of when you opened a product? (Write the date on it? Keep a list?
)
Let's get this discussion going and help each other maintain healthy hair routines! 💖
