How I Store My Hair Care Products

When I started my relaxed hair journey I was trying lots of hair care products, different shampoos, conditioners, stylers, oils...well you get the idea. I soon found that I was having a hard time storing them in my bathroom cabinet. I had products stacked up on top of each other and the bottles were constantly falling down. And when they would fall down it was like a domino effect where several others would fall down as well.

I found I was spending a lot of time trying to find the product I wanted and setting products right side up. I needed to find a better way to store all of these hair products so I could keep my sanity.

And one day it hit me. I could solve my problem by finding a container to put them all in.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this so I decided to use something that I had lying around the house - ice cream buckets. Yes, you read right, ice cream buckets.

Over the years I have been given or saved gallon plastic ice cream tubs that I use in various ways:

• A bucket to hold my cleaning water when cleaning the bathroom
• Storing product samples
• Watering my large peace lily plant
• And now holding my shampoos, conditioners and styling products

I'm an organizer by nature so I use one bucket for shampoos/cleansers, one for conditioners, and one for stylers. By having the products in the buckets I can fit everything in my bathroom cabinet without anything falling down and causing a mess.

Now don't worry. If you don't have any plastic ice cream buckets around the house you can find some similar containers that can function the same way. Below are some of my favorites that you can find at Target.
