@ Skala Scholar! I'm putting that next to my avi! Girl, you have got to get your hands on the shampoo. The first time I used it, I remember thinking " Dayum! I ain't gotta condition!"
And the Jaborandi is even better!

No, Ma'am! Only the Ceramides G3 line and the Colour line have ceramides in them. Only the Ceramides G3 line is currently available in the US.
Thank you so much for answering my questions and providing such detailed information!
Earlier, I decided to pick up one of the shea butter conditioners in anticipation of tonight’s cowash (and because I had a buck that was burning a hole in my pocket
). The Big Lots in my area didn’t have much of a selection - just the shea, aloe, ceramide and fruit cocktail masques, the ceramide shampoo and the shea butter conditioner.I don’t put much stock in the so-called cheap conditioners and shampoos because they make my hair feel like sandpaper, in addition to making it a tangled mess. However, when I cowashed with the shea butter conditioner I was quite surprised. It didn’t take much for my hair to become completely saturated despite me being somewhat heavy handed with product usage. And, although I didn’t experience any slip (and I never have with any product I have used, so I am no authority on the Slip Factor), my hair felt very smooth and...moisturized; like a well-oiled body after a long, relaxing bath. I finished by using a smidge of Rusk Sensories Leave-in and some Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Cream, then let it air dry in a ponytail.
Not bad, not bad at all.

Thanks for sharing your experience. As I have posted several times, Shea Butter is my favorite of all the lines. That and the Jaborandi!

Well, you instigators got to me too
I searched for BL in a 25 mi radius, and came up with several. At the one I went to I found cweramides g3 (bought 3) and the shea butter leave in. The shea butter smells amazing
I'm gonna have to hit up the other BL in the area, and when I get to the beach. I can't let this stuff go homeless

So far Im loving the Shea Butter leave-in, its so moisturizing. 
I went to Big Lots in Southaven, Ms on Stateline Rd. today for all my Memphis, Tn ladies and purchased 2 Fruit cocktail mask, 1 Jaborandi shampoo, 2 Jaborandi conditioners. They have plenty of G3 cerimides and Jaborandi's. Only one fruit cocktail mask left. Now, Im on the hunt for more Shea Butter goodies.

All they had was the 4 fruit and 1 shea butter masks. I brought them. Was kind of dissapointed.
And my hair is really picky, so I dont even know why i ran and got it. (Yes I do all these raves for $1)
But dammmmm, that was so much slip. The most slip I have ever had. AND softness. It was silky. ORS paks, silicon mix and design essentials are about the only other conditioners my hair likes and ive tried alot.- Other ones just sit on my hair, or my hair feels rough or dry. I was thinking even if it doenst leave my hair soft when I rinse, I will buy it just for detangling. (but it did leave it soft)
These are def. going in the rotation.
Now I have to call also and ask when they are getting shipment, because I know it wasnt nothing but yall that left nothing but 4 dusty fruit masks and that hidden shea mask.- I want to try the other masks and the conditoners really bad.

Me too.
I dont usually get slip either, or softness.
But have you ever tried cream of nature shampoo the original one? That didnt give you slip?- Design essentials conditoner and ORS are the only conditoners that give me slip, and Silicon mix no slip at all, just softness.
So for me too, If i ever want to buy a cheap conditoner, this will be the only one.
What other conditoners and shampoos work for you?

I used the FC masque last night with a lil Porosity Control...I kinda didnt want to wash it out, my hair felt awesome. I will have to grab the rest of the FC masks if they are still there on Wednesday.
so mini rant...I go to the BL closest to my house (the one I frequent is near my job - 45 minutes away), why did it look like Fantasia stocked the shelves. It was like the person couldn't read the bottles so put stuff together that looked the same. It was color coded in some area and just a hodge podge of random stuff thrown on to shelves. The whole store was confused. Furniture had random food stuffs, body washes had hair products mixed in. Hair products had make-up. Make-up was in 4 different aisles. I literally spent 25 minutes looking at each shelf front and at angles because product x was sometimes in front of product y. It wasn't just a lazy shopper dropping things where ever either they fronted the shelves with the wrong products.
The only upside? I got 2 bottles of Looza Mango for $3 each.

Thanks Tanjola! I won't bother driving out there while I'm here to visit this week. I wonder about the location on Winchester and Ridgeway or the one in Cordova. I will be mad if they don't have any after making the drive. Gas aint cheap these days.
I prefer the mask for dc and the conditioners for a rinse.

I haven't checked the other stores yet. I did however check the one on Summer this past weekend. They only had the shampoo's. I may be close to the Winchester store tommorrow and will check it. I'll let you know what they have.

5 Ceramide Masques
1 Ceramide Poo (don't really use shampoo & they had enough I can get more)
2 Aloe vera masques (the only 2)
2 Shea Butter Condish
1 Shea Butter masques (only 1)
Going to try the Leave in tonight and seal with VF.

Firstborn hooked me up with the location of her DH's haul and I went promptly after work. DH called me 30 mins after I usually make it home asking my whereabouts. I was like Why? What happened? I"ll be there in a minute. (I was busted)
Mr Firstborn bought the whole dang-on store. There were about 10 FC masques left. I bought 3. I was trynna be considerate for the other LA ladies
I have kinky twists so I can't feel my hair if i use it. I really want to try the ones with ceremides and jaborandi.

I’ve never tried any of the CON or Design Essentials products; and the ORS Pak and Silicon Mix (actually all Dominican products) make my hair hard and tangled. The only shampoo I can effectively use is Elasta QP’s Crème Conditioning Shampoo.
As for conditioners, I will either use some doctored Elasta QP DPR, Kenra or AO Honeysuckle Rose, but I’m not really feeling them. I just bought the Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm, Biolage Ultra Hydrating Balm and some Mizani Moisturefuse, so I will give those a try over the next few weeks.
Still, after countless purchases and much disappointment, I finally have two decent leave-in conditioners - Rusk and PM’s The Conditioner, and REAL moisturizers, which are Qhemet Biologics’ Burdock Root and Amla Creams (I could kiss both the proprietor and the person who recommended them smack dab on their mouths for these two creams
).This hair stuff has been an uphill battle (and costly), but this a-dolla-for-some-Skala thing is looking promising.

Well I'm back from my BL runs. None had the Ceramides G3 masque. I did see a lot of SB, Jaborandi and Ceramides condish. I saw AV leave in and Ceramides G3 leave in. I did pick up extra Ceramides G3 leave in....just in case people can't find it and would like to try it.
