I picked Elasta QP Conditioning Creme Shampoo after a trip to the BSS for CON w/Argan shampoo (which I nixed when I saw sodium hydroxide in the middle of the CON ingredient list). The Elasta bottle says "new & improved" and the ingredient list has no sulfates, parabens or protein and has some nice oils such as olive, coconut, and avocado so it seemed like a good candidate for my hair.
When I shampooed with it this evening, I was actually in the shower saying "Oh...my...God" during wash and rinse. It rinsed out so smooth that I lathered again. No stripping - hair felt like silk! My hair felt moisturized as if I had co-washed. It's a DC night for me, otherwise I would have seriously considered skipping conditioner and just slapping on a leave-in. I'm only a couple of weeks post but I can tell that this will melt NG and tangles, and in fact a few ladies have said this in the one post I could find about the product. It has an OMG yummy, gentle, sweet citrus smell. The consistency is so thick that when you're squeezing it out, it can actually get sucked back into the bottle through the little top opening if you don't move the bottle away from your hand fast enough LOL.
And the 12-oz bottle at regular price was only $3.99!
This is a new HG for me - I'm seriously considering stocking up cuz I can't take another formula change or discontinuation in my stash right now LOL
Here's the ingredient list:
Water (Aqua), Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate, Cocamide MEA, Polyquaternium-10, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Biotin (Vitamin H), Linoleic Acid (Vitamin F), Persia Gratissima (Avocado) Oil [contains Vitamins B2, D, A, E, K, and Potassium], Citric Acid, Ethylene Glycol Distearate, Parfum (Fragrance), DMDM Hydantoin, Imidazolidinyl Urea, CI 19140 (FD&C Yellow 5).
