I use TJ nourish spa and the TJ tea tree and mint conditioners and my hair really likes it.

TJ Nourish and Spa is the bees knees. Tresemme Naturals conditioner is a close second.

Here's a nice long list of cone free conditioners. But if you like Aussie so much why are you trying to replace it?

Thx for that link! AM does work great, but I'm trying to go cone free if I can find a good substitute. It's just another ingredient I'd like to do without if my hair still responds favorably without cones. I've already eliminated parabens.

I just threw out my last empty bottle so I don't know all of the ingredients exactly, but it did have parabens in it still; which is too bad since the other ingredients are good.

Thanks! I didn't realize so many ladies like Tressemme! I actually use it for my cowashes. It's my favorite for that. But I saw on the board a while ago someone mentioned that they didn't think it was a good idea to use it as a leave-in because it contains sodium chloride. So I looked that ingredient up on tightlycurly.com. (Btw, that site actually promotes use of cones.)
What do y'all think? Is it possible that my mix in my OP would be enough to buffer the affects of the sodium chloride?

The sodium chloride in TN isn't an issue for me at all. In fact this is the only conditioner I can use as a leave-in. Everything else usually makes my hair feel heavy, gunky, and strangely enough dry...like its just sitting on top, doing not a damn thing. It does a great job of keeping my hair moist, and soft for the majority of the day. I also use it diluted with water, and mixed with CO in my spay bottle. I use it to spray my hair at night before going to bed. Your mix in the OP shouldn't be an issue at all.

I used to be wary of certain bad ingredients, but not so much anymore. It's good to be aware of ingredients and know what your hair needs, but at the end of the day, use what works. If your hair likes Tresemme, stick with it. You'll break the bank and wreck your brain trying to avoid this and that, when you could be skipping over or abandoning a gem for your hair. Tresemme is cheap and effective. I LOVED it for my natural hair. You find what's best for your hair and stick with it. If that's cones, so be it. If not, then you know how to move forward.

I definitely agree, and my #2 reason for my progress so far is that when I find what works, I stick to it instead of product hopping. Even in this case, Im not swearing off cones, but Id like to see if my hair can thrive without them because eventually Id like to move to all natural products, but again, ONLY if my hair can thrive on them...see my RT hair post.

I'm ride or die for Aussie Moist. I tried to go cone free but hair didn't respond as well. I bought VO5 and Tresemme Naturals but they just don't work as well on my hair as Aussie Moist. I'm more against parabens than cones so I'm just going to stick with AM. If it ain't broke, I'm not trying to fix it!

I know this isn't my thread but I want to thank all the ladies who suggested TN! I was looking for a conditioner that could be a back up to my AM, so I tried this and love it so far. it did flake on me as a leave in admittedly, but it is just... ughh as a rinse out lol. my hair was so moist and was actually hanging. It is a potential staple for me now.

Try diluting it in a spray bottle with water and using it as a leave in/moisturizer that way. Or apply it to your hair in the shower and do a quick run under the water to dilute it. Shake and go if you're natural.
