Hemp hydryting conditioner; Thanks Dlewis

Ooowww, I'm so glad you liked it.

[Tee]

You're welcome Letitia! It's very economical too. You don't have to slather your hair with two cups of it to see results. I have had my bucket for 3+ months and I am less than halfway through, and I gave a 1lb jar sample to my mom to use. (but I am gonna buy another one soon anyway!) Oh, and don't forget to send along any products you don't want!

Hit:
Proclaim Natural 7 Oil
OMG! This stuff is awesome. I think it's gonna replace my $15 bottle of Keracare Essential oils! (It's on sale for 2.99 at Sally's this month! )

Thanks again lady. Glad you like that Proclaim Natural 7 Oil. I love that stuff too!

Hits: WGO, I bought this the other day and it really helps seal in the moisture.

HIT (so far...)

I finally used my WGO today after a cowash and deepcondish...awesome!
I am liking this alot. I plan on using this for the next 2 weeks to see how my 6-week-post relaxed hair responds.

Hit....Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner. (5lb bucket)
I couldn't stop running my fingers through my hair. I love this stuff. Huge thanks goes out to Crlsweetie and Mona Lisa. Thanks for giving me that push to go ahead and get this product! (thanks also for helping me save money by not ordering that Humecto 5lb bucket)

This is a staple of mine. But last month I bought the Essations Moisture Sheen Conditioner. They have the same ingredients, in the same order. Motions just has 1 more ingredient. I also noticed that Motions and Humecto also have the same ingredients. The Essations is okay, but it hasn't done anything that Motions can't. Not to mention I can pick up a tub of Motions at any Sally's. I have to order Essations and it has a weird smell.


Hit:
Essations Cream Shine. I like this product after I take out a rollerset and before I wrap and go back under the dryer. I can't remember who mentioned it first, but Thanks!!!!! Mineral Oil is the first ingredient, but it's just going on my ends, so it's not too bad.

I didnt know it had the same ingredients as Humecto. Thanks for the info. I am so please I have found then. It will staying in heavy rotation in my routine. Thanks! (yeah, i love that no shipping part! lol)

 

[crlsweetie912]

WOW! Me either! I never used Humecto cause of the price of the tub! Off to check.

 

[crlsweetie912]

Humecto:

Water, glycerin, Dimethicone Copolyol Isotearate, Polyquaternium-32 (and) Mineral Oil, Quaternium-80, Pathenol, Dimethicone, Extracts of: Nettle, Pine, Burdock, Chamomile, St.Johns Wort, Watercress and Garlic, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) Methyllisothiazolinone

Motions Moisture Plus:

Aqua , Mineral Oil Paraffinum Liquidum , Polyquaternium-32 , Glycerine , Quaternium-80 , Dimethicone PEG-7 , Isostearate , Dimethicone , Panthenol , DMDM Hydantoin , Amyl Cinnamal , Benzyl Salicylate , Butylphenyl Methyl Propional , Linalool , Parfum Fragrance

They are comparable. I don't think that anything could take the place of my beloved Motions though.

I never thought to look, but I always thought that the Motions reminded me of the Humecto in the tub. I am so glad that you guys introduced me to the Motions - that after my BreakThru shampoo and my hair is so soft and moisturized!
