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

[sprungonhairboards]

VO5 Hydrators. It's blue. That stuff is awesome! It makes my hair so soft and moisturized and it's THE ONLY cheap conditioner that gives my hair slip. Best of all I can always find it at the 99 cent store. I bought about 8 the first time I saw it there because I was sure I'd never see it again, just like when I got hooked on Suave milk and honey.

 

[eboniwoman]

Suave for me it provides great slip. Vo5 is too watery for me and haven't tried white rain.

 

[Nita81]

I like VO5. My favorite one is--Tea Therapy Nourishing Chamomile

 

[krissyprissy]

I prefer the VO5 strawberries and creme. It gives me the best slip. I didnt care for the Suave milk n honey and the humectant was ok. I have never tried White Rain.

V05 (love the Strawberry and Cream) the Suave, never tried the White Rain. I want to try the one MonaLisa and Priestess loves so much. (coconut scent.)

I only use them for co-washes or for a final rinse.

That's my ish....

NTM DDC, White Rain Tropical Coconut and V05 Tea Therapy...

all the other conditioners in my life are just gravy....these are the crown jewels in my hair life

@ Letitia....

It's this ish right here

 

[Brownie518]

I like the V05 Tea Therapy Nourishing Chamomile and V05 Noursihing Oasis with Honey and Almond. The Suave Milk n Honey didn't do too much for me. I have never used any White Rain but I am dying to try the V05 Strawberries n Cream. I'm going to Walgreens in the morning so I think I might look for it.
Actually, though, I really love HE Hello Hydration and Garnier Length and Strength conditioners for cowashes. My new fave is the Tresemme moisture rich. Super slip!

Yes, for some odd reason, they dont ever have it on the shelf here anywhere. I wanted to tell manager at Walgreens don't he know I NEED this stuff!! Instead, I picked up the V05 and quietly said thanks anyway and left. *They trying to hold down my inter PJ!*

 

[Bunny77]

Suave or bust!

Especially this one... Citrus Smoothie!

 

[Bunny77]

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

Psst... I know your post is old, but I got a nearly full bottle of the V05 Blueberries and Cream in my cabinet. Didn't work all that great for me and it's gathering dust... wanna work something out?

 

[Divine Inspiration]

I tried V05 Strawberries & Cream as a prepoo (mixed with amla oil & honey) and left it in overnight...my hair was detangled and moist this morning, and it smelled nice.

 

[gimbap]

v05 but NOT the ones that say "richer, thicker formula!" or something to that effect because they don't do **** on my hair.

 

[Divine Inspiration]

:::sigh::: I wandered through the hair isle in CVS today (big mistake), and I saw the White Rain Tropical Coconut and the V05 Kiwi Line Squeeze Clarifying poo...I got both plus another bottle of the V05 Strawberries & Cream.

I'm justifying this purchase because
a) it only cost me 3.00
b) I want a new, inexpensive paraben free clarifying poo...Suave is a bit drying
c) I already know the S&C works for me

I'm staying out of this thread because MonaLisa, Letitita, and HoneyDew will make a rich woman go broke.

 

[locabouthair]

the v05 clarifying poo has no parabens? ill be trying it as soon as im done wiht my pantene clarifying poos. i have two bottles so that will be a while.

Nope. It's the V05 Herbal Escapes Kiwi Lime Squeeze with Lemongrass Extract Clarifying Shampoo...whew, that's a mouthful. But no, it has no parabens.

There you go. As long as you can justify it, it's okay.

I love the V05 Strawberries & Cream. I will keep an eye out for the Kiwi next. (I just gave up on trying to find the White Rain here.)

Look at you trying to corrupt me and turn me into a PJ.

PM me and I'll send you a bottle of the White Rain.

 

[DarkAngell]

vo5 is the best cheapy for me. i mix vo5 condition with other things for my pre poo and it comes out great.

White rain in only ONE shampoo sessions years ago...damaged my kinda. The moisture i lost took months to get back to normal.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

On the last 2 pre-poo occassions for my daughter I used my husbands Herbal Essence Conditioner- Moisturizing for normal hair- it has Aloe Vera, Chamomile and jojoba in mountain spring water, it also say over 99% natural and plant derived.

I would have never thought about buy an HE product and with some of the raves, and that darn V05 is just so darn running, HE has a creamy consistency and it moisturizing her out of cornrows hair instantly and made the over 3months NG soften on contact. I think this will be our staple pree-poo now.

Now my cousing has been applying a little conditioner to her hair at night b4 wrapping or pincurling it, and I believe that is what has been keeping her hair so darn soft, silky and healthy this go round, besides cut down on heat. I believe she uses V05's.

Suave Citrus Smoothie is a god send!!!! The slip and mositure is as good as any industrial brand

I went to the store today and bought 3 more cheapie conditioners. I bought the Suave Aloe & Waterlilly, V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie, and another V05 Tea Therapy Calming Chamomille Tea. I love cheapie conditioners for conditioner washes. I'm in you guys.

 

[homegirljiggy]

I have always liked suave strawberry.. but then I found vo5 strawberries and creme and I'm torn... I will just use both

 

[BillyJay]

Suave Naturals all the way! I cant stand White rain and V05

 

[angellazette]

V05 all the way baby. I previously had a preference for the Moisture Milks line but now I'm using others (Free Me Freesia, and other herbal conditioners) and they work just fine. Great for cowashing and as a leave-in after I rinse.

**looks around****

I can never find the date on when folks replied on posts so I'm putting a date. Today is 5/21 and CVS has VO5 conditioner and shampoo on sale for $0.77

**creeps out thread**

Guess you know which one I voted for. (leaving now to sniff my Tea Therapy Vanilla Mint Tea Clarifying Conditioner)
