Giovanni Users...We need to talk, the Smooth as Silk put it on me

Okay, so I got my hands on a full bottle of the smooth as silk shampoo and half a bottle of the conditioner.

The shampoo is sulfate free, has a great grapefruit scent, and it really cleaned my hair without over drying it. I was very impressed. This is the first "natural" shampoo that really did the job. You only need a dab, like this bottle is going to last me forever.

The conditioner was perfect. I mean :love: softness, slip, just pure moistness :lol: It gave me slip that I would expect from a very silicone rich product. It kinda caught me off guard.

Sooooo Giovanni heads, what else do I need to try?
 
Glad you like the shampoo! It's my new shampoo after weaning myself off of Profectiv Breakthrough and I must say it's a good change :grin:
 
I was thinking about getting the smooth as silk for when I am prepping to straighten. Glad to hear it worked Gym!

I like their magnetic shampoo and conditioner.

The power treatment didnt do much for my hair but I love the shampoo and conditioner. I havent tried the other magnetic products.

And my beloved giovanni direct. This gets mixed reviews, but it works for me.

Basically all their shampoos and conditioners are pretty good.

Okay, so magnetic is added to the list. I must say, it really suprised me in how well it worked.
 
The smooth as silk conditioner is one of my favorites for overnight deep conditioning (especially because I can get it in a store and everything else I like I have to order...it gives me my fix for physically buying stuff). Also, the 50:50 conditioner has been good for quick cowashing for me and you can get a liter size from costco for only 10 bucks.

Overall, giovanni has been really good but I haven't tried their shampoos or leave-ins.
 
I *love* their products!

I use the leave in, the 50/50 moisturizing conditioner, Smooth as Silk Conditioner, the magnetic conditioner, tea tree conditioner...girl, I seriously love them all... I have *never* had a line work like this on my hair.
I just ordered the tea tree shampoo, 50/50 poo, and Nutrafix conditioner as a protien conditioner. I'm going to use this line exclusively... I've tried tons of stuff and wasted plenty $, but I can't say how much I love their conditioners. I'm sure i'll like the shampoos too.
 
I don't even know why I come in your threads anymore! The title alone should've sent me running! :lol:

Did the poo lather up a lot? Is the conditioner more suited for co washes or dc's?

I was hoping you were on. How would you describe the 50/5 conditioner?

You know how I do :lol:

The poo lathers ALOT! I only have tried the conditioner as a 3-5 minute treatment. I plan on trying it a little longer though, especially in a month when I relax.

Believe me I was surprised when I saw it too. But now costco has liter sizes of alot of stuff including dove and nexxus I believe. And you cannot beat 10$ for a liter size of giovanni when at whole foods the regular size one is 10$ and it's only 8.5oz.

Tiffers and Gymfreak, I use the smooth as silk as a deep conditioner all the time and I love it. It leaves my hair soft and strong at the same time. And the smell is great too! If they had the smooth as silk in a liter size I would be all over it (especially if it was as cheap as the 50:50).
 
does the smooth as silk conditioner have any silicones in it at all? if so, is it towards the beginning, or middle?...

I love love love it... it's a great moisturizing conditioner to me... very similar to Elucence MB. I've used it as a deep conditioner, instant conditioner, and rinse out. All of their conditioners detangle my hair and leave it soft and supple... not the super smooth feeling cones give, but after you continuously use their conditioners, you'll notice your hair feels genuinely softer and supple, not the buttery feeling that cheapies give you instantly. Also, their conditioners are thick and great to use as deep conditioner. The Smooth as Silk does give my hair a more 'smooth' feeling, but the moisturizing conditioner is great too. I'm def. going to keep the 50/50 and Smooth As Silk as staples!

No problem... I love reading Giovanni threads! My feelings are hurt and confused when I see people don't like it :lol:, I just remind myself, my hair doesn't like 90% of things that others love...my hair really is fickle, which is why i'm surprised i'm seriously impressed with this line.
