Better Late Than Ugly
Hit: Aussie Moist Conditioner
I don't know what came over me but after watching JeweJeweBees 100 pumps video, I decided to try Aussie Moist. Though I fretted for awhile about the single silicone it has, I reminded myself that silicones aren't the Devil and if I didn't like it I could shampoo it out. I shampooed, applied the Aussie Moist liberally to detangle, rinsed leaving a bit in, then applied WetlineXtreme in large sections, raking through. A fast and easy process because I didn't have the time or desire to shingle.
Ya'll I was instantly suspicious because even though I didn't shingle, my hair was elongated, frizz free, with no white spots. I say "suspicious" because it seemed too good to be true. My experience says that only silicone free products and practiced technique can give me results like that. But who knows what it would look and feel like dry. Well, after airdrying for a few hours (much faster than it usually takes) my hair was still elongated and frizz free, but it also had shine and softness. *MINDBLOWN*

If it had been any other silicone free conditioner, I would have just gone about my day, posted about it here, and added it to my HG list. But it has a SILICONE! I feel like my entire hair care world has shifted. Extra, I know, but I'm serious. So serious that it took me 3 days (hair is still fabulous by the way) to admit here, on LHCF, that I tried it and loved it.
So now that I've outed myself, I'm going to build a bridge and get over it; proclaiming my love for Aussie Moist proudly.
I see @IDareT'sHair also does R/O's too. Im wondering if that might help with my dryness. This is my first summer as a natural. The other months, Ive had no issues with dryness, but even with relaxed and texlaxed hair, I have always had an issue with dryness in the summer solely because of the sun. Im wondering if this will help for just the summer months.
