A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? (sh.itjust.works)

Probably! I have a conditioner that's all-that-stuff free and it no longer grosses me out to touch.

And thank goodness because I have big, curly, loooong hair

Thanks for replying. What conditioner do you use?

This is going to sound crazy, but I use Suave Essentials Wild Cherry Blossom. It's like 1 or 2 bucks a bottle and thank goodness because I have to use half a bottle when I wash my hair. What I used to spend...

I found it through the Curly Girl approved products list. Here's a copy-paste of the entire ingredients (in case someone more knowledgeable comes along to tell me it has stuff in it I didn't know was bad for me).

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Fragrance (Parfum), Lactic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, PEG-150 Distearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Juice, Benzyl Alcohol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Red 33 (CI 17200), Yellow 5 (CI 19140).

The Curly Girl site I use says that the methyl ingredients can cause itchiness in a sensitive scalp so keep that in mind if you try it.

+1 for Curly Girl method being mentioned.

It's unfortunately named since this is good for anyone, not just women. Have been using various "free" products for about 6 or 7 years now and my hair always feels great and all the natural waviness of my hair came back.
