I thought this might help some of you ladies so I did a test this summer and I must say price does not always equate quality.
Here are the results:
Keracare - I call this magic in a bottle when my hair is "wet." When I wash and condition w/the detangling poo and humecto I probably only lose like two hairs if even that. How could this be?.............While I may not be losing hairs it sucks the moisture right out of my hair. Needless to say I used this on and off for a yr. but decided to move on.
Nexxus Phyto Organics (Theratin, Humectin, Luxtress, Enphuse) - This stuff is a moisture miracle....................but also a strand robber due to its high protein content. I had a hair consult at Penneys (I won't let them do my hair anymore but I trust their advice) and I was told that this should only be used maybe once a month or if you color your hair often. A few of the white gals their said they use it faithfully but would imagine that if I used it wkly/daily that I am asking for breakage. I tried this twice and said sayonara to the whole line. I don't think that luxtress is that bad but I do not want to chance putting that much protein in my hair wkly.. They said quinoa protein is quite strong. It can help right when u need it and hurt if you don't.
Biolage Daily Moisture Leave-In Tonic - A keeper adds moisture w/out causing breakage. I just purchased this again because I like it as a leave in and I spray it on my hair during the summer when I wear a bun sealed w/(don't laugh............a dab of grease).
NTM - I revisit this quite often because it does not cause breakage and adds moisture w/out weighing me down. When I use this all my other products respond better. Surprisingly, for the price........I get what I want when I use this. I never thought that I would go back to a drug store line for my poo/cond. but after my little experiment I'm done for now. (Silk Touch and NTM serum were a little on the flat side for me but try them your hair might say otherwise).
