Kirkland Signature (Costco brand) Conditioner!

[truequeen06]

I just bought the Kirkland Signature aka Costco brand Hydrating conditioner and cowashed with it. My hair feels silky, moisturized and all around HEAVENLY. And it's pretty cheap too. Two 40 oz bottles cost me 7 dollars.

This is what the bottle looks like:

And the ingredients are: Purified Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Stearalkonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden Seal) Extract, Algae Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Protein, Polyquaternium-37, Fragrance, Decyl Oleate, Citric Acid, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

I'm not an ingredient expert, but it doesn't seem bad. Maybe one or two ingredients . . . correct me if I'm wrong.

But all I know is my hair feels lovely and detangling felt like a dream.

[Casarela]

[Traycee]

I was just complaining about how much conditioner I go through now...I will be pickin some up this week

Is it a thicker conditioner or thinner

 

[Noir]

The ingredients are good.

In fact looking over the ingredient list, it looks as if this could be classified as a deep conditioner.

 

[TexturedTresses]

so......... thick or thin

It's pretty thick. It's about the same consistancy as Nexxus Humectress.

I've seen in online, however they charge $6 for just the 40 ounce.

The dominicans use it a lot. They just empty the bottles its cheaper. Now you know what you are paying the 5 dollar DC fee for.

 

[Bronxcutie]

Is jojoba a form of protein? Can I use this right after a protein conditioner? I am really planning on cutting down on costs, so this would be great if I could pick this up.

It smells good to me. It's not a fruity scent. Actually it smells like lotion to me . It's a fresh smell.

I can still smell it after cowashing, but it doesn't leave an intense smell like herbal essence does.

Great--thanx for answering.

We were just in Costco last Sunday and saw this....on the same side of the aisle as the Nexxus.

The ingredients look good too - and I think the quaternium makes it a deep conditioner: Purified Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Stearalkonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden Seal) Extract, Algae Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Protein, Polyquaternium-37, Fragrance, Decyl Oleate, Citric Acid, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone


Deep Penetrating Conditioners
There are two main types of deep or penetrating conditioners; moisture and protein.

Protein based conditioners are designed to increase the diameter of the hair with a coating action. This will strengthen the hair and add body.

Hair that is severely damaged will need a concentrated protein conditioner. These conditioners are designed to pass through the cuticle, penetrate the cortex and replace keratin lost during chemical services. They are designed to equalize porosity, increase elasticity and improve overall appearance. Because the hair is filled with new keratin, it will feel hard after use and should be followed with a moisturizing conditioner to soften and lubricate the hair shaft. Concentrated protein are NOT recommended for use after a chemical treatment like a relaxer, color or perm. These conditioners will disrupt the desired rearrangement of protein bonds formed by these chemical services.

In addition, to protein based conditioners, there are moisturizing deep penetrating conditioners. These conditioners contain humectants that attract moisture and are absorbed into the hair cortex. The difference between instant and deep moisturizing conditioner is that deep treatments contain a quaternary ammonium component included in the chemical formulation of moisturizers so they are able to attach themselves to the hair fiber and provide longer lasting moisture.

Thanks for that info. I've been searching for a new deep conditioner because Elasta QP DPR-11 just isn't cutting it. I think I'll try it as a deep conditioner as well during wash day.

 

[cocopuff]

I think I might try this. The price is right and I have been looking for a deep conditioner that I can afford.
