I cosign with the ladies who never stopped using them. I tried those sulfate-free shampoos and it made my hair worse. Honey, my hair was feeling like the Sahara Desert. I was like dang..........is this suppose to happen! Oh, and let me not forget to mention I tried many of the cone free conditioners as well which simply fell off my hair after rinsing. After much blood sweat and tears, I went back to my sulfate shampoos and cone conditioners and my hair is just fine. I use a French line called Phyto and many Dominican lines like Miss Key and Crece Pelo. It goes to show, how different everybody's hair is. I think instead of trying to follow other people's regimen, people should pay close attention to what their hair likes. Tips and things like that from others are great but I have learned I can't follow someone else's regimen. Nearly lost a great deal of my hair trying to do so. Also, one of the reasons I stopped going to stylists. My hair cannot be detangled like Lisa's, Pamela's, Angela's, Renee's hair. But lord, try telling a stylist this!
