Battle of the Cheapies: Suave, Vo5, or White Rain?

[Babygurl]

V05 Strawberries & Cream or V05 Champagne Kiss....these REALLY do it for me when it comes to softness, slip, and smell!

I love Suave Naturals Green Apple. It makes my hair so soft and it smells so good.

This thread talked me into buying some Vo5 strawberries and cream, I was at the grocery store and they had the conditioner for 1.00, I never tried it b4 but it smells good

*Chanting* Suave, suave, suave! I like the "professionals" line of conditioners curly and sleek. Also, nothing beats their daily clarifying shampoo.

I bought a bottle of VO5 Tea Therapy con last night. I think it's the "Calming" fragrance. It smells so nice! I'm going to try it out for my cowash tonight. We'll see....

White rain doesn't seem thick enough for my hair (4a). It feels too liquidy than the others. I've used Vo5 before and it's good, but I use Suave everyday because it has the daily claryfying shampoo to go with the daily conditioner (i only use the shampoo every other week).

 

[Cichelle]

Whenever I use the "cheapies", I almost always use V05. Occasionally I will use Suave because it seems thicker. I don't like White Rain.

i noticed yesterday that motions and Vo5 are both made by the same company

I keep White Rain Tropical Coconut in the shower for CWs - it is nice and thick! - followed by Suave Waterfall Mist for detangling - great slip!

OMG...Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut is my lover. I can not say how moisturised my hair feels after using this...plus it's only $0.89 at Wal-Mart, which means that I use it for alllllllll my cowashes. This product leaves your hair smelling amazing and has amazing next day 5:00pm sort of serious slip.

THANK YOU TO EVERY WOMAN ON THIS BOARD WHO PUT ME ON THIS!

Hmmmmmm....
I need to act like I didn't read this....but I did. *dang*

I love, love, love, love my Suave Tropical.

It makes my hair so soft!!

Aussie Moist. Great detangler/moisturizer for my 4b natural hair. And it's cheap.

My hair hates Suave and VO5. I've never tried White Rain, but Aussie Moist and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle are both good thought I haven't used either in a few years.

Right now I just stick with my Humecto and ApHogee...they do best with my hair. Yet, I see a lot of girls pre-pooing with cheapies blended with oils and honey and the like...I might try that one day. Good thread.

That's a tough one! Initially I would've voted Suave because Suave Milk n' Honey is awesome :notworthy , however, I haven't been able to locate it in months which leads me to believe it's been discontinued . Therefore, the remaining conditioners in the Suave line are not worth my time.

As for V05, I believe this is where the Moisture Milks products belong, and they actually do compare to Suave's Milk n' Honey, and they smell even better!

So let me go ahead and vote, V05 all the way!

I just tried the Suave Professionals Line (Clarifying Poo, "like Rusk" and BioBasics Conditioner; "like Biolage"). Both worked well, really well.

I feel ya, Lovelymiss. Suave had a good thing going with Milk & Honey and then they messed with the formula. Then they lost me.

So now I'm a VO5 girl. At least I've got a closet full of the Suave Milk & Honey to help me remember how good it was.

 

[mkstar826]

SUAVE!! fresh mountain strawberry (naturals line) & daily moisture (professionals like) conditioners are my fav.

 

[LocksOfLuV]

So I got a little crazy in the store yesterday. I bought: More Suave Milk n Honey, Suave Coconut (to match my coconut oil), and V05 Strawberry moisture milks.

*broke down and finally bought a bottle....

 

[Proudpiscean]

I found a bottle of Vo5 Moisture milks in Blueberries & cream at the Dollar store! I've never seen this one before, it smells delish!

Omigod, you are so lucky. That was my favorite flavor until they discontinued it. I stockpiled it and still managed to run out.

 

[PinkPeony]

I'am in love with Suave Humectant.
I guess I have to try Aussie and Vo5 Tea Therapy now

 

[natstar]

Ooh This is a hard one since I use all three and they work great. I would have to go w/Vo5 first only because they have a great variety of scents that I love. White rain and Suave are both tied. I will say tho that I LOVE the white rain coconut not the suave coconut

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

Dang Locks, how you gonna make me choose between Suave & VO5. That's like choosing between your first of second born child. I guess V05 is tops for me becuase of all the different scents.

 

[FunkyDiva]

I love Vo5, White Rain is okay and sauve made my hair crunchy

 

[adw425]

I love Suave humectant and the milk and honey. V05 conditioners do not do it for me, but the silky experiences, fresh creamy peaches and the kiwi and lime clarifying shampoos are wonderful. White Rain extra body and tropical coconut are excellent conditioners. I haven't tried any other White Rain products while I have tried most Suave and VO5 products.

 

[Priss Pot]

I love V05 conditioners now. I have Suave Tropical Coconut also, and it works fine, but not as great as the V05. The V05 Tea Tree Therapy (in Chamomille Tea) is just lovely on my hair. I just love buying cheapie conditioners now.

I think I may be a bit obsessed with conditioner washes.

 

[Proudpiscean]

Vo5 has become my favorite lately too!

 

[Minx]

I am on the fense.
I like Suave and VO5 equally,each for different reasons:

Suave Coconut which gives plenty of moisture for when I'm going to wear a shrunken fro.

VO5 Kiwi & Lime which is clarifying for when I want to pick out my fro and wear it light and fluffy.

I have never been drawn to try White Rain but I am interested in trying Aussi Moist.

V05 really doesn't do anything for my hair. I like Suave Coconut Conditioner for co-washes and a little leave in. But I am looking into using the Aveda line because I go through 1 bottle of Suave every 10 days.
