I haven't tried either product but your post brings me back to my question about the other Nexxus Humectress (in the bottle) that people have been using to DC. If the DC is the stuff that comes in the jar, then what's in the bottle?
I think they're both usable as DCs. The jar is new though (they just recently launched it...like maybe a month ago), and the bottle is old. The instructions on the bottle say to only leave it for 3 minutes. The instructions on the jar say 3-5 minutes. So neither of them really give "DC instructions".
I've been DCing with the bottle stuff though, and it's really fabulous. I do want to try the the jar formula, just for the sake of it, but $15 for such a small amount (5.5 oz) is not the business. And I kind of feel like they're going to be the same thing, just in different bottles.

Buut...according to the ingredients, they are different. So I guess we'll see.
Please post your experience with the Nexxus, Coffee, once you've tried it? I'm really curious to see how it compares to the bottle.
