And the answer to that question is YES. Most of the times, you can go by the smell or the look of the product's content.

Here is my mascara... which I love: It expires 6M (6 months) after opening
Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair.

Step 2: Cleanse Your Hair Regularly * Use a sulfate-free shampoo to remove dirt and product buildup. * Clarify your hair once a month if you use a lot of styling products. * Focus shampoo on your scalp and let the suds cleanse the rest of your hair. Step 3: Deep Condition Weekly Moisturized hair is less likely to break. * Apply a deep conditioner after every wash. * Leave it on for 20–30 minutes. * Use heat (a hooded dryer or heat cap)...
