Are Suave Humectant and HE Hello Hydration cone-free?

[BC2/4/06]

I'm trying to change my regimine to include only cone-free conditioners especially for cowashing. I've heard great things about both these conditioners from other 4b naturals but i don't know if they are cone free.

All help is appreciated. Thanks!

Is this a silly question?

No, it is not a dumb question at all. I believe the HE HH has cones and the Suave Humectant does not. That is what I remember from reading the ingredients in Wal-Mart last week. I am trying to work my way through a HUGE stash though so I didn't pick either of them up. Hopefully, someone who has them will respond soon.

I don't know about the Suave, but the HE HH has cones. It's not a silly question!

Thanks! I have both. I love the Suave Humectant because it makes my hair so soft but I was concerned that it contained cones. I am horrible at decoding the ingredirnts lists though.

I hope the HE HH does not contain cones because Ive heard great things and want to use it as a leave in.

Can anyone else help me?

does your hair react badly to cones?

Thank you for this post. I find that conditioners in this price range usually contain at least one cone. The v05 line is the only one I know that is moderately priced (dirt cheap actually ) and doesn't have any cones in it. You should try the v05 moisture milks line to see if you like it if your regimen absolutely calls for no cones.

Thank you! I stopped using cones this month and I feel that my hair is holding moisture better and feels so much softer.

I love TJ Nourish Condish and Vo5 but Im a Pj so I'm always on the lookout for something new.

I also purchased a steamer and I prefer to use a cone-free conditioner. I dont want anything to block the steam.

I just finished co-washing with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration, I loved that stuff when I was relaxed, and I love it just as much as a natural! I guess I'm not sensitive to cones though. Funny enough, I remember not being that impressed with the Suave as a relaxed head, but I have yet to try it now that I'm natural.

I use HE Hello Hydration as a leave-in. My hair does not react negatively to the cones (not even sure how I would tell), but I don't think that it would matter since the conditioner is water soluble?

I'm tempted to use them anyway. I want to try to use HE HH as a leave in.

I know Lady Paniolo had success with Suave Humectant as a leave in under her wigs.

I love HE Hello Hydration and Hydralicious. My hair wouldn't know how to behave without any cones.
