Former Creme of Nature use- What are you using now?

[PuddingPop]

We all know its been a couple of years now since our Creme of Nature original formula has been discontinued. Luckily I still have 2 big bottles left and some places still have it in this area but I know that will all come to an end soon.

Ive been putting this off as long as possible but I really need to find a replacement asap. So what have all the former CON users been using for the past 2 or so years and how is it working for you long term?

I just ran out about 2wks ago, I am using Elasta QP creme conditioning shampoo that is the closest I have found but I still prefer CON.

I've used Elasta QP in substitute but it doesn't really compare IMO. Maybe I got a bad bottle but it's really thin and seems to take a lot just to sud up. And the bottle is smaller. I've been using ORS Creamy Aloe. Haven't found a dupe yet. I wish I could find it here still

Good thread. My bottle is almost gone and I'm scared. I haven't found anything suitable to replace it either.

There's still plenty in Los Angeles. For those viewers in L. A., this is a good time to stock up.

 

[SelfStyled]

Thank goodness I still have some in my stash- the closest replacement I have found is Hair One.

 

[Supervixen]

Silk Elements...which is actually better than the old-brand CON.

This is what I would also recommend as the closest thing to CON in my experience.

Yeah girl. I wasn't playing. I had just discovered CON right when it discontinued. It was the best thing ever for me so I stocked up big time. Before that I had never experienced a shampoo that didn't dry and strip my hair.

Me too!! Well actually I discovered CON a long time after it was discontinued, I bought the CON pro. detangling conditioning shampoo in normal(red/white label) at Sally's back in the beginning of the year, it was the only one left and I bought it to try it,,,,, Its GREAT! No need for conditioner afterwards

try some walmart's in areas that have very very few blacks
(this is where i see the smaller bottles)

also someone mentioned texasbeautysupply.com ?? idk

whenever i see the bottles in old low traffic beauty supply stores it looks all old, sticky, and boogerisherplexed

Where????

I just started on my last big bottle them I'm all out.

Where Where Where???? You DO mean the old formula that's discontinued right? Not the new stuff.

I use QP Elasta Creme Conditioning Shampoo. I was and still mad at Creme of nature, when that happened I called them every hour asking did the change the formula and if they did they are crazy!! Well they changed and I am still upset I loved that shampoo!!

 

[NIN4eva]

Roux PC Shampoo is pretty creamy. Detangles well too.

 

[cmw45]

I haven't found a replacement. It was the only shampoo that didn't strip my hair. So I have just been using shampoo when absolutely necessary and very very infrenquently.

i hear from youtube Miss Jessie's creme de la creme creme shampoo (mouth full) is to die for!!!

 

[fluffylocks]

Ill be running out soon too Thats been my favorite shampoo since I was like 5 SMDH.

I like Design Essentials shampoo, and Elasta Qps is pretty good I guess

 

[pinayprincess]

You can always find the old version online.

 

[crlsweetie912]

My hair fairy blessed me and I have 6 big bottles left! :reddancer: But I am taking notes for when that horrible day comes when I run out.

 

[ricochet]

I am about a quarter into my last big bottle. After that, done. I bought some of the Elasta QP creme shampoo to start trying it out (I tried it out years ago before realizing CON is all I needed). I don't know if Elasta has changed their ingredients but it was $2.99 so (Kanye shrug). I am still trippin on how a lot of newbies out here are raving over the new CON and I have yet to hear any veterans praise that product lol.

 

[Kindheart]

is the new version that bad?

 

[ricochet]

is the new version that bad?

I wouldn't know, haven't tried it and won't. I have tried the "new version" of too many products in the past and I am sick and tired of the misleading advertising that translates into "new and improved" when in actuality it means "charging you the same price (or more) except we now use cheap fillers and water the product down". I just know Sodium Laureth Sulfate is now the 2nd ingredient when it hasn't been for the past 3 decades (I'm 33 yrs old and Mom used this on me since I was a little girl). They've now stated it's "new" and "improved", touting "certified organic ingredients" etc, etc. They now market kiwi, sunflower, coconut, etc, as the key ingredients when we all know they're not.

Anyone out there that swore by the old version that can give a good review for the new version of CON?
