need a light conditioner

[florida]

i want to use it instead of shampoo(cg-routine) so it has to be moisturizing but also not to heavy. do you know a good one that i can get in a normal drugstore and that is cheap?

Try Pantene Smooth & Sleek ($3-$5) or one the VO5 conditioners ($1 or less). Some people like the Suave conditioners ($1-$2).

Ya gotta try....St. Ive's Vanilla and Edelweiss Moisturizing Conditioner. I just picked up a bottle for $1.99 at the grocery store.

Jade21 recommended this and I tried it for a conditioner wash on Monday and was absolutely in love with my hair afterwards. It's good stuff!

Try the Smooth & Sleek, you'll love it!

Alberto V05 Kiwi and Lime Clarifying Conditioner. Works great...no buildup. And it's CHEAP! (I paid less than $2 bucks)

For a lighter, yet moisturizing conditioner in the St. Ives line, definitely check out the Lemongrass and Citrus, or the Ginger and Citrus. Both are about $2.50 for 20oz...smell is awesome, too

I really like the Pantene DMR. Nothing like it. I use it after every protein conditioner as a rinse out and softener/moisturizing conditioner.

I am thinking of incoporating condition washes into my regime. I plan to do them 2x a week and then do a regular wash. I was wondering what do I use the VO5 pina colada as? Is this considered a shampoo for the no poo method? It says moisturizing and I was wondering should I use a deep conditioner first then follow up with this or use this first then follow up with something like motions silk protein conditioner? I also saw the st. ives vanilla and edelweiss conditioner but I thought it was my pjism running rampade so I walked out the store without buying it.

If I do buy though how would I use it with the pina colada? They are both considered a moisturizing conditioner. Would I have to use one or the other and not both? Also can you use protein for a condition wash? Say I want to use henna and placenta and then follow up with a moisturizing conditioner would that be good or do I need to use a shampoo before hand or use a light conditioner as a shampoo? Sorry for all the questions but I swore I understood the curly girl method but I still have questions.
