Herbal Essence cowashers: What is your most favorite HE conditioner?

[kellistarr]

To me, Hydralicious (which I tried for the 1st time this morning and fell in LOVE with it) is the thickest, then LTR and TT are tied. I will be rotating Hydralicious into my mix!!

Well, looks like I'm going to have to try Hydralicious. Geez, I was just in Target today. I have to say, though, that I do not like the way these new bottle designs look. It is just too busy and makes it hard for me to read what is what! But, yes, I've put it on the list. Does it smell nice?
Thanks.

1. How often do you cowash? About 1 time per week.

2. Are you relaxed, natural, texlaxed, transitioning or loc'd? I am natural

3. What other HE conditioners do you use? Just HE HH

4. Do you combine HE conditioners with other conditioners? If so, which ones? When I condition (and rinse) I add a little olive oil and maybe some aloe vera - that's it.

5. Do you use HE conditioners as a leave-in? YES! I accidentally fell asleep with HE in my hair one night, woke up the next morning and couldn't believe how soft my hair was. In the back of my mind I was like, "you know you need to rinse it out". It was dry and I just couldn't rinse it out because it felt so good even dried (and I loved it).

6. Have you noticed any formula changes recently that has caused you to stop using any HE conditioner? Nope

@kellistarr Yes, it does smell good. It's so thick and softens so well. Hair feels like butta when I'm done. Going to add some honey and EVOO to it tonight for a deep con.

I have a few, but which 1 is your ultimate fave: I dont have one, but LTR and HH are a close tie.

I have been using HH for a while switching it out with Suave Humectant and I still am not sure if I really like it but I am trying to finish the bottle and not become a PJ even though I think I am in the early stages ........I will get the others soon.

I picked up a bottle of Hydralicious! I won't be using it until tomorrow. My "Thick Test" goes something like this: I wash my hands, open the bottle and see how fast the conditioner comes out. I then emulsify it in my hands. Hydralicious comes out rather quickly. It isn't runny, but a nice amount plops out. That doesn't happen with Hello Hydration. I actually have to squeeze the bottle for HH to come out. I'm not convinced that it's thicker than HH.

Here's the savings grace: I like that Hydralicious has Shea Butter. I also like the way it smells and it's creamy. It left my hands feeling silky, as if I applied a lotion. In my hands, HH doesn't quite offer that kind of distribution. I don't think Hydra is thicker, but I do think I'll like it and I can tell my hair will easily detangle. There are a few more in this line that I'm interested in just based on scent alone. This seems to be a pretty good line.

kellistarrWell damn. NOW THAT'S ANALYSIS!!!!! I love HH...I've bought several more bottles since. It's the best, softest cowash condish for me since YTC!

I went to the grocery store last night. Wouldn't you know they had Break's Over on clearance. So I might have picked up a few bottles to use when I install my braids.

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

OMG this is kind of OT but I bought Break's Over about a month ago for about a dollar. I didn't realize it was so cheap because it was discontinued until I tried it yesterday and it felt like heaven! Did anyone used to use Break's Over and has found something that works the same or better? I like hydralicious but I think Break's Over was much better (but I've only used it once so who knows). I hated HH and LTR was just ok. I'm so sad :-(

 

[Diva_Esq]

Hmm, might have to try Breaks Over!

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Hmm, might have to try Breaks Over!

Um....if you find it can you buy a bunch a ship it? lol That stuff is AWESOME! I think I'm going to search for it in Detroit. Black girls ain't buyin that stuff up

LaFemmeNaturelle - Ooops! Forgot to come back in here and do a review!

In a word.....Fabulous!!!

I've only used it once, but it smelled delicious and did exactly what the description said. Incredible slip with zero tangles. The next morning, my hair was so lusciously soft, it felt like I'd done a dc! I'll keep using it to see if this was a fluke, but for right now it's .
