I've been using cheapie (Suave, V05, Herbal Essences) conditioners for my co-washes since I went natural.
A few months ago, I decided to use up one of my regular conditioners (DevaCurl OneC) so I started using it for co-washes. WOW. After co-washing and applying my leave-in and gel, my hair would still feel so moisturized after air drying....I didn't have that dry feeling anymore. Well, eventually I ran out of the OneC, and had to go back to a cheapie (Herbal Essences). After doing my usual routine, the dryness came back that day after my hair dried.
I tested my hair again in May when I wanted to use up one of my Nature's Gate conditioners. I used that for co-washing, and my moisture level increased, but when I ran out and went back to HE, it decreased....again.
I've never had a problem with cheapie conditioners when not using a gel/lotion styler (no matter the kind/brand), but when I do use that type of styler, I can tell the difference in my hair depending on the type of conditioner I use.
I'm sorta in a rut now. I have alllllllll of these Herbal Essences conditioners (LTR and Hello Hydration) and not sure if I want to even use them up. Don't want to waste my money. I love the smells, but they aren't just giving me the moisture I would need.
