Oh okay. Thanks for correcting me. I'll check into that one also. Can you give me your review of the one you have? How does it make your hair feel?

It's Great. It's a Perfect Balance of Protein & Moisture. Makes your Hair feel wonderful and no need to necessarily follow-up with any other conditioner.

I think the Wheat Germ is a great addition and also chocked full of Natural Ceramides & Lipids which also greatly help in overall Hair Health.

It's a really good product.

Miss
J/a/s/o/n Aloe vera shampoo

HORRIBLE. Might as well using Suave aloe vera & Water lily shampoo 45 times. Horrible! Tangled my hair bad, breakage and smells horrible. I couldn't even get the comb through my hair after conditioning. I will be returning.. and go back to my suave shea butter and almond shampoo which is way better and much cheaper.

New Hits:
KeraCare Creme Hairdress - A very light moisturizer; has a light airy texture despite looking like a thick heavy cream.
KeraCare Conditioner for Color Treated Hair - Has a sticky texture; very moisturizing. Almost as good as Humecto. It's concentrated so only a little is needed. It doesn't smell good and I can't use it as a leave-in.
Affirm 5 in 1 Reconstructor- Has the same sticky texture as the Color Treated Conditioner. My hair felt stronger after four weeks of usage. It's a light treatment that didn't make the hair hard.
FiberGuard Sustenance Fortifying Treatment - It's concentrated. I just couldn't figure out if this treatment was meant to be moisturizing or strengthening. Either way, my hair felt better after wards.
Dudley's Curl Activator - It's creamy and it doesn't smell like jheri curl juice. I don't know why they call it an activator. It doesn't seem to have any activator like qualities. It's a very good creamy moisturizing lotion. I like it.
Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer - It's creamy like the curl activator. It smells nice and it's very moisturizing. I don't need both the activator and the retainer. If I had to choose one, the retainer has the slight advantage.
Dudley's Moisture Shampoo - It has a peachy creamy texture like a moisturizing lotion. It smells nice and it's super moisturizing. I didn't expect much..but it delivered brilliantly.
Dudley's Moisture Conditioner - The conditioner has the same peachy creamy consistently as the shampoo. They work well together. The hair was left moisturized and lightly scented with peaches.
Dudley's Panthenol Leave In Treatment - It's 1/2 oz. packet of liquid. Panthenol was the second ingredient. It also had keratin. I didn't notice a huge improvement in hair texture but it's a good just in case treatment. If I repurchase, next time, I'll just squeeze the entire packet into a bottle of liquid braid spray or hair moisturizer as a booster.
Dudley's Aroma Oil - It's kinda expensive esp. with mineral oil listed as the first ingredient. It's a lightly scented, light oil. It's nice, but there are cheaper alternatives on the market.

Continued or Re-visited Hits:
KeraCare Hydrating Detangling Shampooo - It's an old favorite I used way back in 05 before I became a PJ. I hate the smell but love the results.
KeraCare Humecto Creme Conditioner (16 oz. Bottle) - It's the same tried and true formula as the 5lb tub..only now more portable. I use it as a leave in also.
Paul Mitchell The Conditioner - A light moisturizing leave in. Adds moisture without the grease.
UBH Creme Lotion - An ultra moisturizing leave in lotion with no greasiness.
NuAde Super Hair Oil - A thick heavy super moisturizing hair oil that's on the expensive side...it's well worth the price. Very high quality product.
Taliah Waajid Black Earth Enhanced Herbal Conditioner - A thick yellow super conditioning conditioner. I love it!!

Borderline
KeraCare Oil Moisturizer - It's kinda runny and oily. Works better on dry hair.
Dudley's Conditioning Setting Gel - I didn't use it as a setting gel. I wanted it to lay down my edges. It failed miserably. On a positive note, it didn't leave my hair crunchy or tacky to the touch.
Dudley's Moisturizer & Activator Gel - It comes in a jar and it's really runny. It looks and smells and behaves like an activator. It's just ok...I'll need more time with this product for a proper review.
