Best Deep Conditioner's for 4a/b Natural Hair?

[DivineNapps1728]

I've been browsing through old threads & getting a little overwhelmed; there are alot of products I'm not familiar with. It'd be a great help if a more comprehensive list was available.

If you'd like to contribute please include:

Name of conditioner:

Where it can be purchased (online, bss):

Price Range:

Additional Comments (whether it's a protein conditioner or a moisturizing one, if using it other than directed provides better results, etc):


Thanks in advance ladies!

 

[DivineNapps1728]

Name of conditioner: Organic Root Stimulator Replenishing Pack

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): Sally's, Walmart, most supermarkets, beauty supply stores

Price Range: $1-2

Pro's: It's a cheap and effective product

Con's: It can sometimes leave hair mushy/too soft/over-moisturized

Additional Comments: This product comes in a small pouch and if you have particularly long or dense hair you may need multiple packets. It also has a very strong orange scent that some may find offensive

 

[naturalgurl]

I use natural stuff so this is an alternative for you...


Name of conditioner: Egg whites with yogurt is a good DC for protein/ olive oil with honey is a good moisturizing DC both strengthen the hair.

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): In your favorite grocery store or health store

Price Range: Eggs-$1.89 a dozen, 1 cup of yogurt $.89, honey $2.39 for small bottle, I prefer the real stuff from a bee hive which you can find at a health food store, olive oil $4.50 for 8 oz. These are just guestimates.

Pro's: Easy to find and whip up and makes your hair feel like you've really done something to it, it's instant.

Con's: The olive oil/honey mixture is a bit sticky but use twice as much olive oil than honey. The egg whites and yogurt can be runny and that can get on your nerves while you're sitting under your thermal heat cap or dryer.

Additional Comments The good thing about these is they're natural and won't hurt your hair. No build up and it washes right out without the need of soap or shampoo. Warm water is all it takes. Good luck!

Name of conditioner: Elasta QP Intense Fortifying Conditioner

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): BSS

Price Range: $8-12 for a liter

Pro's: Moisturizing, lots of slip, thick & rich

Con's: Wish it was cheaper.

Additional Comments (whether it's a protein conditioner or a moisturizing one, if using it other than directed provides better results, etc): It's a moisturizing conditioner, but it does have protein in it - wheat, I think. I generally ignore instructions, but I assume I use it off label. Has a light, tropical/coconutty/fruity smell.


Name of conditioner: Eqyss Premier Cream Rinse

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): Online, from horse supplies, offline, from tack shops/pet stores.

Price Range: $8-10 for 16oz, I think?

Pro's: So thick. So creamy. So moisturizing. Loads of slip.

Con's: Very strong baby powder/deodorant smell.

Additional Comments (whether it's a protein conditioner or a moisturizing one, if using it other than directed provides better results, etc): Also moisturizing, I like this one, a lot.

 

[Lucky's Mom]

Name of conditioner: oyin Honey Hemp condish

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): online www.oyinhandmade.com

Thanks in advance ladies!

 

[ShaniKeys]

Name of conditioner: Keracare Humecto Creme Conditioner

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): local bss

Price Range: €20 for 8oz bottle

Pro's: watery consistency=very easy to rinse, truly deep conditions, leaves your hair soft&not weighed down, great detangler, a little goes a long way

[ShaniKeys]

Name of conditioner: Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx Reparative Treatment Mask

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): Sephora store & sephora.com

Price Range: $29 for 5.5oz

Pro's: it leaves your hair soft but strong (good balance between moisture&protein), a little goes a long way

Con's: if you're looking for hard protein, this is not the way to go + it's expensive

Additional Comments: it's a protein conditioner, I personally believe you get better results when you use it with heat

 

[Priss Pot]

Giovanni Smooth As Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner

It can be purchased from Target, Whole Foods or the like, online. I bought the big liter from TJ Maxx (or Marshall's). I got it for $12.99. They often sell Giovanni products.

I really love this conditioner cause it moisturizes really well.

 

[DivineNapps1728]

I wanna try all the conditioners listed. I've only tried the olive oil/honey treatment which was too heavy for my fine tresses and the keracare humecto conditioner which my natural hair hates (it was AMAZING when I had a relaxer).

I keep seeing a biolage ultra-hydrating conditioner, a few Giovanni products, and some sap moss products I wanna pick up. As soon as I buy my books for spring semester on Sunday I'm going conditioner shopping!!!!!

Thanks for all the contributions ladies!!! I really appreciate it!

Keep um coming...

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): online or from a Dominican salon I guess

Pro's: SUPER MOISTURE!!! It can moisturize even the DRIEST hair. I've never seen hair that it wont work on. Most Moisturizing ever too.

Where it can be purchased (online, bss): Rhassoul or bentonite clay can be purchased on line; bentonite is available at Whole foods. I got the herbal extracts from the Vitamin Shop. The tea was just too nasty to drink but looked like I could use it for my hair. Fenugreek I got at a local health food store.

Price Range: very reasonable.

Pro's: You can mix it up and change the formula to your whims.

Con's: It can be messy but I wear a cape. Must rinse and rinse and follow with a rinseout conditioner (not really a con)

This mega silk moisturizing has impressed me the most so far. Really

[Mandy4610]

Name of conditioner: ORS hair mayo
Where it can be purchased (online, bss): Local BSS

Price Range: $10-$18

Pro's: Very good light protein with some moisturizing properties. Gives lots of slip

Con's: The herbs in it can get lost in you napps when you try to wash your hair out, so rinse thoroughly. I used to buy the big jar, but I recently noticed that the big jar had mineral oil and the small one did not. Maybe the formula has changed and the small jars were left over from the old stuff
I will have to find a new light protein if that's the case.
