My hair found a new love and his name is...

Suave Professionals Awapuhi Conditioner /images/graemlins/love.gif Thank you so much for giving this to me at the meeting NGC /images/graemlins/kiss.gif I finally got around to using it on Thursday for my CON Wash. I was like, "this is nice but i'm not feeling sparks or anything." but i tried it on dry hair instead of damp hair this morning and this shyt is BUTTA!!!! I love it /images/graemlins/grin.gif

As soon as i put it in my hair, it's a leave in as well as a regular conditioner, my hair was INSTANTLY moisturized and so soft. You only need a little bit, a little goes a long way because this stuff is rich. I will be stocking up on this before something tragic happens like it gets discontinued or something /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Here's a list of ingredients for those that are interested. -- jainygirl

Yeah it is good! and its CHEAP.. I love it for both conditioner washes and as a leave-in.

Are the products that you were using when you were relaxed working? or do you have to search for a new set of products?

None of my old products do what i need them to do for my hair which is keep it moisturized and not add too much build up. I used to use alot of things with cones before and now my hair and cones dont agree at all. The good thing is that little by little i'm finding products which my hair likes. Elasta QP Mango Butter -- Thanks DSD,Soft and Sheen spray which is my mainstay glycerine product -- my hair loves glycerine /images/graemlins/grin.gif and now this Suave which is really good. -- jainygirl

Suave Awapuhi as a leave-in is my daily staple.

 

[jetcitygirl]

I never tried using Suave Awapuhi as a leave in... I'll have to give that a try! I've always liked it for conditioner washes though.
A little off topic but does anybody know what the heck an Awapuhi is??

 

[Chinagem]

bajanplums stated in her list of ingredients that it is a hawaiin ginger

Here is some more info on awapuhi:

Finally, perhaps the most common use of `awapuhi kuahiwi is as a shampoo and conditioner for the hair. The clear slimy and sudsy juice present in the mature flower heads is excellent for softening and brings shine to the hair. It can be left in the hair or rinsed out, as you wish.

Here is the site on all of its uses: http://www.canoeplants.com/awapuhi.html

I like it too for CW & leave in /images/graemlins/cool.gif
