So I bought Elucence...

[YummyC]

moisture balance conditioner, does anyone leave it in longer than one minute? Does anyone use it has a leave-in?

 

[lowkeyhomie]

Yep I have left in longer than a minute and have used as a leave in with no problem. I believe a few ladies even DC with it.

Thanks, just wanted to check before I did it.

I use it as a deep conditioner, instant conditioner, and a leave in. It works well for me any way I use it, so I buy it by the 1/2 gallon. I get a good amount of slip when I DC with it for 30 minutes. I also mix it with other conditioners, oils, and/or protein treatments. Always good results.

I use it for everything! esp leave in. I use this in conjuction with avocado butter on my ends in the winter.

 

[wyldcurlz]

I'm ashamed to say this but...

I use it as my daily CW conditioner! !!!

I know, I know, I'm supposed to use cheaper ones. I have tried other cheapies and other cheap(er) organic conditioners. Nothing gives me the moisture and the slip that Elucence does. One time, I even tried different conditioners like Shikkai, Nature's Gate, 365 (all of these from Whole Foods) and I rinsed them all out and promptly used Elucence. I have also tried Suave conditioners. Nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to Elucence for me for my daily CW!

I haven't had much success with it as a deep conditioner but maybe I will try again. I love it so much!!!! BTW, I'm a natural, 4A/B, mostly 4B. I cannot stress enough how this is one of my staple products!!! I'm glad for you, Yummy, that you are trying it.

It might be just me or maybe I need to lower the heat on my dryer, but if I deep condition with it, it looses it's slip. I leave it on for 10-15, but without heat.

I would try it different ways and see what works for you. Try it with heat, w/o heat, deep condition for 10 min and 30 min.

I've found that to be true for me also. I haven't tried Elucence, but with other conditioners I've noticed a loss of slip with heat conditioning. At first I thought it was just me....Glad I'm not trippin'!

this happens to me too with some moisturizing conditioners too! i thought i was the only one. everyone acts like it is a sin to not sit under the dryer with conditoner...but this relaxer cycle i've been doing mostly no heat for about 10 minutes with my moisturizing conditioners and the results are a lot better.

thanks for the review! i am thinking about trying this. i have yet to find a moisturizing conditioner i like. out of the stuff i've tried, if it has slip, it will leave some type of build up from all the cones and stuff (like humecto and ntm) and then the others just don't have any slip.
