Salon Care Honey & Almonds Conditioner

[vickiepickles]

I was in Sally's yesterday and finally broke down and bought this conditioner. I have been eyeing it for quite some time, but hesitated on getting it because it is only sold in gallon size. It smells wonderful and is a thick conditioner. The gallon size was 8.99 and they also had the shampoo and another conditioner that was called Balsam Conditioner. The Honey & Almonds is supposed to give softness, manageability, detangle, etc. The ingredients include Sweet almond oil, honey, apple pectin, hydrolyzed keratin, and some other stuff. I haven't used it yet, but am very excited. I also bought one of those smaller pump bottles to put it in. Have any of you used this conditioner?

Anky and I forget who else have this conditioner. They both love it.

Sounds delicious...can you give us the order in which the ingredients appear on the bottle?

I used that conditioner back in November or December. Right now I'm using the Raspberry and Vanilla conditioner. They both offer great slip, but they contain protein. So you don't want to use them too often.

Pookylou, I will do that when I get home. I think I'm going to try it tonite!

Pookeylou, here are the ingredients:

Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Chloride, Honey, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (sweet almond) oil, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Pectin Extract, Propylene Glycol, Dicetyldimonium Choride, Frangrance, Citric Acid, Polymethoxy Bicyclic Oxazolidine, FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Yellow No. 5, D&C Red No. 4

The protein in those conditioners won't be a problem--they are mainly moisturizing conditioners. Your hair will benefit from the added protein in moisturizing conditioners

That who else is me! I do have this conditioner. I got it when it was on sale for 4.99 for the gallon. It smells great, and detangles the hair very well. I use this for a conditoner wash or sometimes after I shampoo with a low to no detergents shampoo, like Jason naturals sea kelp. I haven't experienced any build up from it, and it is great for preshampoo detangling too. You can use as much as you want and still have alot left. So you don't have to ration it out. You can't beat the price or that yummy smell

I have yet to use the new formula and dont plan on buying it

. in addition I think Blueflower uses Nature's Advantage brand as opposed to Sally's (IIRC). Full product review is on my hair site

Thanks, Supergirl! It's a relief to know that! I guess the next gallon conditioner I'll try is Apple or Humectant.

I have this conditioner and I

it. the smell, the detangling, the softness. I have no complaints with this conditioner. I also have the shampoo, which is also great.

VickiP- try using it with mayo, eggs and your favorite oil as a pre-shampoo. It makes all the difference in the world to the rest of your wash... give me an update if you do..

Thanks for the tip, FLAME!

Great idea. I just bought this conditioner while it was on sale for $4.99 @ Sally's

Maybe I'll try this mix. I'm definitely gonna mix it with more almond oil and honey too
