Conditioners - Other usage?

[califit]

I have conditioners which I do not like lying around... (mainly because they do nothing for my hair...)

So besides swapping/selling them away, what can we do with them?

1. Use it as shaving cream
2. Use it as a preshampoo detangler. I wet my hair then apply the conditioner to detangle. This means no combing before shampoo and less hair falls.

how abt using it as clothes softener?? i haven't tried it though...

or use it to condition our makeup brushes?? i used to wash my brushes with shampoo and conditioner. not bad. but too lazy lately, so i use MAC brush cleanser instead.

i used to condition my brushes too, but now i use MAC brush cleanser also, coz its just easier to use that....

clothes softener? hmmm. but if i ask my mum to try that, she might think i am talking nonsense.... must find some way to experiment....

try it on those unwanted cloths first

haha, i like to massage conditioners onto my feet and toes (cuticles too). This works if you have a bath tub or you'll be slipping around! I just condition my hair (and my toes) and let the steamy bathroom do its work.

Soft feet!

gee, i used mine as a shower foam sometimes.... :roll:

works alright for me since sometimes i buy for the smell of the conditioner and not the function

I'll use even more of it to condition my hair...leave on, as a quasi-thick hair mask, while showering.

Tried using as shaving cream, did not work for me.

Use on Feet
1. When in shower, apply to dry feet
2. Proceed with usual cleansing routine with rest of body with fav shower foam, gel, body soap
3. Rinse the lather off
4. Buff feet with pumice stone
5. Rinse feet
6. Towel dry
Tadem! Feet are clean and smooth.

Use on Legs
1. When in shower, apply to legs
2. Shave legs
3. Proceed with usual cleansing routine with rest of body with fav shower foam, gel, body soap
4. Rinse
5. Towel dry
Tadem! No niks

Thats whole lot of ideas! I think conditioning ur feet is great! But my conditioners are too dear to use for other areas, is sooooooo expensive!

califit,maybe you can hand them to your friends or family who can try the conditioner and maybe might suit them?
Or otherwise,i use them as clothes softener. They smell really good after washing!! Haha.
