So today was wash day, and I was really excited because I just got a new shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner. I just planned to use the poo and deep con today. I pre pood with ORS Hair Mayo mixed with an egg. Then I shampood with Optimum Oil Therapy Ultimate Recovery Shampoo. It was okay, lathered up good, smelled good, left my hair feeling clean. Then I dc'd with Garnier Fructis Fortifying Deep Conditioner. Put a bag on my head and left it on for an hour. Washed it out and my hair was HARD! I was kinda starting to panic, but I remembered my new conditioner, Optimum Care Stay Stron Conditioner. My hair was even harder! After my wash, I put in NTM leave in, Dove Mist, BB Oil Moisturizer and castor oil. My hair STILL feels like straw. Long story short, STAY AWAY! I'm traumatized

Stay away from which? Individually they probably work well but they were reacting against one another. Tiffers, did you follow directions? Product says 3-5 minutes, keep it 3 to 5. You mixed a lotta products from different makers.

The shampoo was cool. The conditioners SUCKED. The Garnier said to leave on for 3 to 5 minutes, but after 5 minutes passed, my hair still felt hard under the cap. So I left it in till my hair felt soft, which was an hour. My hair felt soft under the cap, but when I took it off, my hair was still hard. I followed Instructions for the Optimum Care conditioner, too. My hair has NEVER been this hard.

Ouch! That mess is a true pain to fix. Good luck!. Hope you get your soft tresses back.

I think you used too many products, and they all sound like protein. And like Brooklyn said, they probably don't work well together. When this happens to me, I have to start from scratch. I clarify, then fall back on a staple combination that I know will work.

Another suggestion - when you try new products, use only one per wash. It also may be good to clairfy first.

HHG!

I'd clarify tomorrow and then just use a conditioner that you are familiar with.. or you could try the optimum condish again. Maybe the Garnier had alot of proteins in it ... Sometimes its best to not mix so many products... Just clarify and start over, atleast that's what I'd do

Thanks you guys! How would I know if these products had protein in them? My hair was soft until I used the Garnier deep conditioner. I think that may be the culprit. I'm throwin it out! BTW, Since the shampoo and Optimum Care conditioner are both made by Softsheen Carson, I thought it would be okay to use them together (?)

Tiffers!!!! READ THE INGREDIENTS {look up different words/synonyms} for PROTEIN, on this board or elsewhere before you buy it!!!

PS..... DON'T throw anything away, someone else may love it. Save your non-usables for MEET/GREET exchanges.

I didnt really care for the garnier conditioner either. It didnt make my hair feel moisturized enough. Im not a fan of their stuff period. The sleek n shine serum at first I liked it but then I realized it was too greasy and was drying my hair out.

I was gonna say the same thing. The ORS mixed with mayo left my hair REALLY dry and brittle so you have to have a really good moisturizing conditioner to combat the dryness from that stuff. Moisturize alot and you should be back to normal in no time. HHG
