POLL: Do You: No Cone, Low Cone, or Yes to Cones??

[HoneyDew]

I am a low cone'er.

I use condtioners with cones, but I try to stick with those that have cones after the first 4 or 5 ingredients and only one type of cone. I never use shampoos with cones.

I also use them once a week when I use heat. I never use them in between shampou days. Never really have a need for them and none of my moisturizers have them.

 

[Amarech]

Yes I love them!!! But I just found out I really need to clarify on the regular because of build up. I don't think my hair really acts right with out them

 

[nappity]

Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose, White Camelia, Rosa Mosqueta have no cones
Curls Ecstasy Hair Tea Considh- no cones
Lustrasilk Tea Tree, Shea butter Condish- even though it isnt marked as a deep conditioner has no cones

I like how cones make my hair feel, but I can't handle the build-up. I have enough build-up problems from my haaaaarrrrrrdddddd water as it is.

There are cones in my DC (Miss Key 10 en 1) and my moisturizer (S-curl) but the cones are waaay down on the ingredients list..my hair seems to be able to tolerate these levels of cones....

[DayStar]

Yes, I love them!

me too

 

[leleepop]

I know I answered this ? last year, but for now yes to cones. I love em.

I voted yes and no and that I avoid some cones because I don't mind a product having cones because our hair could use some of them as they do have some positive effect on our hair but I would not knowingly use a product that has toooo many cones in it. For me this would be asking for trouble.

I try to avoid all cones. I don't believe they are bad in themselves, it's just that my hair really doesn't like them for some reason. I was using this deep conditioner that had dimethicone and amodimethicone in it for a while, and it was the only thing that I changed about my otherwise cone-free routine, and my hair was beginning to feel very dry and look kind of straggly. Ever since I stopped using cones my hair has improved a lot. The only exception I make is for Aphogee Intensive Keratin Reconstructor, which I use right after I get my relaxer.

Don't like cones. I use them only if I have to for a particular style.

 

[KiniKakes]

I don't know/care.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

I like them .. but I don't like. Some of my favorite leave-ins and moisturizers have cones but I can't use them everyday because it blocks EVERYTHING OUT.

I don't mind using them now that I'm a daily co-washer.

But I feel like, I have to put my moisturizer on my ends, THEN my leave-in.

Idk.erplexed

I try to minimize use of insoluble cones, but I don't want to become a cone nazi. I like them as long as I can still moisturize my hair. I don't like using serum much anymore.

 

[LadyKaypnyc]

Sometimes...but I try to avoid products with too many cones. When I do use them, I clarify within the week.

 

[silverdrmr]

I've found that my hair absolutely loves cones when dry, namely serums, but is not a big fan when wet. It really softens my hair.

If it's a conditioner with cones, it's not so bad as long it gets rinsed out thoroughly.

 

[MizAvalon]

Yes, I use them.

 

[DivaD04]

i try to avoid them as much as possible...it's so hard though b/c so may products use them.

 

[MichelleMyBelle]

Yes I use Cones! I use them every other day.

 

[ekomba]

Yes i love them! i cant live without my serum!!! but need my hair thoroughly rinsed and deep cond every 2 weeks though but then i still reapply the serum daily it s weird my relaxed hair thrived with cones go figure

 

[so1913]

They've never seemed to be a problem for me.

 

[NYAmicas]

Thanks for the info OP. I dont pay attention to whether my conditioners have cones in them or not. Perhaps I'll start.

 

[Nya33]

I love em!
Especially the Fantasia IC range, that has helped with frizz and straightening.
Don't wory i do clarify so no build up.

 

[MonaLisa]

i'm sorry but cones are a life saver for me.

they help me comb my hair out....keep more hair on my head...help my hair grow by helping with tangling tremendously...save time ....i can't imagine a world without cones man...

This was my very thought today ...

all products with cones aren't bad and actually work on some heads.

I am trying to implement more natural based products in my regimen going forward, but to help with the tangling...


The products that work for me that have a cone (and I'm fine haired) usually just have one in them. I took some time to look this morning --

Pantene Relaxed and Natural Mask, NTM Daily Deep conditioner and HE's Dangerously Straight all have one cone. Which I don't think is that bad. [they saved my *** today--again, always coming to the rescue - I don't think I can stretch and not deal with tangles without them]

Same goes for HE's Long Term Relationship.

My White Rain Tropical Coconut and VO5 Tea Tree Therapy have no cones.

For those that use Trader Joe's Nourish Spa - that has no cones as well.

I'm thinking about taking some of my cheapie no cones/one coners and souping them up with some coconut and oils.

I clarify at least once a month, so I'm not seeing as an issue. So, they will stay in rotation along with the natural based products and work together.

 

[AshMoBev]

Apparently I need to educate myself on this CONES bussiness....let me get to searching....

 

[Sui Topi]

I just started using cones again. I added HE None of your Frizziness to my repetoire, and I love it! I just wonder, is shampooing with Jason's apricot shampoo enough to clarify dimethicone? It's only that one cone in the ingredients for HE NOYF

 

[TexturedTresses]

I try to avoid non-water soluble silicones. However, I use silicones when I use direct heat... in my heat protectants.

 

[KizzieNapps]

My leave ins don't have cones but my conditioner/shampoos do. I have yet to find a product that can moisturize my hair without cones.

 

[Kurly K]

i just stick with what works )

 

[BrooklynSouth]

The natural part of my hair loves cones..makes comb out a breeze. I only use it post shampoo..no problem except when using too much shea butter..it just sits there and will not be absorbed; problem solved by using a lighter oil such as almond.
