any breakage?

no breakage?

Half, if not most, of my conditioners have cones in them. I actually believe they form a good coating that protects my otherwise naked strands...and haven't noticed any breakage from them.

I do use shampoo regularly so the risk of them coating my hair to the point of preventing moisture from reaching my strands and therefore leading to breakage is slim to none.

 

[CurlsBazillion]

I'm not even paying attention to cones being in my conditioner. Maybe I should but I have not had bad breakage because of that. My breakage seem to come from high manipulation+lack of protein. Once I nipped that in the bud I've been straight.

U betta know it! Must have to keep the hair smooth and tangles gone.

It greatly reduces breakage.

thanks ladies!!! I know one thing, it did a great!!!!! job of preventing my henna from taking

my best detangler is absolutely loaded with cones... i just started back using it this week and was like

but great to hear no problems from you ladies! I'll work through this incredible stash.. and not repurchase

for now I have a plan to prevent problems

thanks so much!!!!!

I use a serum every time I airdry to prevent frizz and to aid in slip. Never had a problem.

I use cones regularly and swear by Sally GVP Biosolk serum. I shampoo weekly so buildup - and any developing side effects - is not a problem. I think cones don't cause problems, the improper or incomplete removal of these cause problems.

I use Herbal Essences Hello Hydration and leave it in. The more I use = the better my hair does. It has tons of cones but I've had no breakage.

For the past month I have have done nothing but co wash with herbal essences and it is working really well for me. It thought I would get build up and my hair would break a lot, but its not and my hair is doing just fine, I haven't had to clarify yet and butters and oils work the same way. At this rate I'm never gonna shampoo again.

I love cones!
They provide slip to my hair and really smooth out my strands.
I've never avoided cones at all, and I think they're a big help for my kinky hair.

I'd recommend Aussie Moist-it provides really great slip.

 

[SheenaVee]

I use Herbal Essences and that has cones, I think? Haven't noticed any negative sides effects from it and I've been using it since I was transitioning.

 

[crazydaze911]

Thank you Rocky!! i will try that...oh, forgot to say...it has to smell decent...i was going to try silicon mix but then i smelled it and was like "ICK!" lol

Tresseme Naturals Moisturizing conditioner is the business for detangling. Slip city!

 

[LushLox]

My hair cones, they leave my hair smooth and silky. I've tried the natural conditioners and they're okay and I will still use them now and again but my cone conditioners make my hair feel better. Regular clarifying deals with any build up issues.

When I first got here this site had me terrified of everything. Cones, Mineral Oil, Petroleum, oh my! So I tried to use the all natural products of this site (ao, qhemet, ect.). Anyway those products worked ok, but were way way more expenisve and not as slipy. I discovered my hair loves cones, makes for easy detangling, and a good moisturizer.

 

[Fab_Nikki]

As long as my cones ride for me, I will ride with them. LOL

 

[nerdography]

My hair love cones, I wouldn't be able to detangle my hair without it. Plus, my hair stays moisturized longer and it keeps frizz down.

 

[AlliCat]

My hair loves cones with a fiery passion. That and protein. No breakage here

 

[LynnieB]

I use cones to keep my thick hair toned down and less prone to the dandelion effect. If in a straight style, they help prevent reversion and when mixed with a lot of water, help keep detangling from becoming a nightmare.

Love 'em.

 

[mzsophisticated26]

Most of my conditioners have cones and mineral oil, i love the slip that comes from these ingredients..lol my serums have tons of cones no breakage

 

[Rocky91]

Thank you Rocky!! i will try that...oh, forgot to say...it has to smell decent...i was going to try silicon mix but then i smelled it and was like "ICK!" lol

crazydaze911, then you'll definitely love Aussie Moist-it smells great, very "tropical fruit"-y. Maybe some coconut....idk quite how to describe it, but it's nice.

 

[southerncitygirl]

i use use the con sulfate free poo, ic sparklites gel and sometimes a serum and they all have cones....no issues and i don't clarify either.

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

All the time and no breakage. Any damage I have is due to the fact that I flat iron sometimes more than once a week lol. But I've never had an issue with silicones. I will say that those V05 conditioners are excellent though and give as much slip as almost any cone conditioner will.

 

[mzteaze]

I have products with cones in my arsenal. However, I haven't had any issues.

 

[Evolving78]

my hair loves cones! natural conditioners just don't cut it for me. i need a lot of slip. Herbal Essence saved my life a few days ago. my hair was so knotted up from using a natural conditioner, i thought i was going to have to cut the knots out. i haven't had any ill effects from using cones.

thanks so much!!!!!

What are you using? Since my beloved Creme of Nature turned on me (and everyone else), I can't seem to find a good detangling anything anywhere. I also can't seem to find any conditioner without at least dimethicone.
