Conditioner Recommendations for CO Washes?

[Miss*Tress]

I'll be in the States next month and want to stock up on cheapie conditioners for washing my hair.

What are your favorites? What are your opinions of Suave, Alberto VO5, and TRESemme? Do you have any other suggestions?

Also, I would like to avoid products containing silicone, mineral oil, and petrolatum.

TIA

Suave Milk and Honey! I really liked this stuff!

 

[Miss*Tress]

Thanks MizaniMami.

Anymore recommendations?

Alberto VO5 Tea Therapy

i'm not sure why but suave (natural?) tropical coconut (or something like) that is a favorite.

Most of the V05's make great conditioner washes:
-Free Me Freesia
-Tea Therapy
-Strawberries & Cream
-Blueberries & Cream
-Lime & Kiwi (clarifying)
-Silk Protein

I also use Freeman Papaya & Awapuhi (not super cheap, but a great product), Trader Joe's Nourish Spa, and La Bella Tropical Conditioners. I'm not into Suave, but I know a few of them make great CWs too.

Since you want something cone-free, I'd reccommend Suave over VO5.

The only way condition washes work on my hair is if I use cholesterol and add jojoba and honey.

I use Kenra, V05, Elucence, Suave, and Herbal Essence conditioners.

vo5, the ones under $1 are cone-free. My fave is tea therapy.

 

[Miss*Tress]

Wow, looks like I'll need an extra suitcase for all those conditioners. Thanks for your responses, ladies.

Thanks MizaniMami.

Sure, I also used Humectress (Nexxus) for a cowash. My hair was intensly moisturized! It was the bomb!

But I wouldn't recommend it unless you water it down or it is extremely dry!

 

[Miss*Tress]

So Humectress is kind of heavy? That might be another good option for me because the water is really hard here. How much does it cost?

Well I have tried most of the Condtioner for CO washes and the best by far is Paul Mitchells Instant Daily Moisturizing Conditioner.

Nexxus, V05, Suave are all crap on my hair.

I purchase Humectress anywhere from $15-$20--definitely not the cheapest, but I've paid more for conditioners. I use Suave Milk & Honey regularly (which works great), or Silk Elements Cholesterol ($3.99 at Sallys) when I need extra moisture. The Silk Elements does contain “-cones” and mineral oil, though.

I purchase the Suave for $.99 at my local discount and dollar stores. HTH!

It is kinda heavy if you really don't need the moisture. That's why I say water it down. It usually cost about 13-20 bucks erplexed

If you look at my thread I have a recipe for a co-wash. HTH
