I use VO5 and Suave for CW. They're mediocre but ok for that purpose.

I don't add anything to them.

I use Cantu rinse out shea butter conditioner ($3.99). I love it, but i've heard good things about tresemme vit E so i might try that out soonish.

I use the cantu rinse out for co-washes

ETA: i dont add anything to it

 

[MissMusic]

Tresemme is definitely next on my list.

Suave Vo5 strawberries and cream is my favorite.

I use it to cowash and I mix it with my Pantene mask to deep condition

I sometimes add honey and heated oil

[Lady Esquire]

What's your fav cheapie conditioner?
Tresemme - I use the condish on my daughters' hair, for their co-washes.
Garnier - my daughters' cowashes
Mane-n-Tail - again same
Dove- again same
CHOLESTEROL - is always a staple here!!!! For prepoos, co-washes, DCs, mainly on my girls, and recently I added it to my relaxer, and that was my best relaxer yet!

They have THICK natural hair that soaks up bottles of condish, so I buy what is on sale. I use most of them on dry hair as a prepoo, to help soften new growth.

I have been adding coconut oil or EVOO to their co-washes, and mine, and that seems to be a nice addition...adds great slip, great for detangling.

^^^^what does the honey do? is it like an extra moisturizer or something?

Do you guys think that White Rain and Suave are the same?

I used to wonder the about the same thing. I think they are the same.

To answer the question, I like to use suave for my co-washes

 

[Nayeli]

Suave Humectant is in constant rotation. I use it to co-wash and prepoo. When I pre-poo with it, I add EVOO or castor oil. And I just found out that they're selling it in a bigger bottle. WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Yep, MCrzyGr is correct on the moisture and slip as for my reasonings behind using honey.

Also as for Suave and White Rain being the same, I thought so too, until I smelled both Tropical Coconuts from the lines, and they smell somewhat different to me. It could be just me, I dunno.

Ladies that add honey to your cheapies, how do you do it? Do you just pour it inside the bottle of conditioner? Mix it together with the conditioner in your hand? Also, do you have any particular brand of honey that you use or does it not matter?

 

[Dayjoy]

I pour the con and honey into a color bowl and mix them with a wire wisk.

I warm some (enough to liquify), pour it into the bottle (most bottle's aren't full), and then shake. I use the cheapest grocery store honey. I just read the ingredients to be sure that there's only honey.

 

[prospurr4]

Don't laugh, but I pour my condish into a baby bowl, add some honey on top, and stir it up real smooth with a baby spoon!! My baby don't use 'em no more so I figured I'd find some use for it later, and that's what I'm doing LOL

And oh ETA: I use the honey shaped like a bear!

Thank you! I think I'm going to give this a try. I need all the moisture I can get.

Whenever I hear "honey" I always think of that little bear!

Lekair,Queen Helene and VO5{the different fragrances..ahhhh} plus cheap as dirt! Lekair and QH for conditioning shampoos..sometimes mixed with dominican cons or DPR-11 for deep cons. I love using the VO5 for conditioner shampoos; good results and I can save my precious$$ NEXXUS.

[InnerSoul]

my fav. cheapie conditioner is Suave milk n honey.

I use it for pre-pooing... I mix it with Amla oil and cover with a plastic cap for an hour before I shampoo.

I love these conditioners: White Rain Sunflower Fresh, VO5 Honeydew Smoothie and Juicy Mango Passion and Breck Restorative conditioners. These conditioners are all found in the dollar store or Big Lots and have awesome ingredients and I mean a string of great hair-friendly things -- like panthenol, vitamin e, vitamin a, aloe vera, horsetail, rosemary, chamomile, wheat protein, silk amino acides -- all kinds of fruit extracts (melon, mango, papaya, etc) high up on the list, not at the bottom. I mostly use to co-wash, but I also use to deep condition to which I add yogurt, honey, powdered herbs, whey protein and MSM.
