SORRY... Elucence MB Conditioner OR Elasta QP DPR-11

[BeatriceFly]

Sorry guys

I can never decide what to buy next
I just bought all soft heavy cream and now I dont even want to use it because i heard it tangles hair, and i already have enough of that!!
So now I have that (wasted 14 bux) anyway, which one do I get??
I really need a great DEEP conditioner that strengthens and moisturizes my hair, and I am hoping my next buy will be my staple!




Edited to ephasize "deep"

So helo

Girl, did you even *try* the Redken, though? It might work for you! Don't give up on it yet. Try it out at least once before you pass on it.

Personally, I love Elucence, because it's a multipurpose conditioner and it smells GREAT. I use it as a deep conditioner and a leave-in. I'd say it's more for moisturizing than strengthening, though. If you need protein, I'd try something else (I don't think the Elasta DPR-11 has protein either, but I could be wrong).

Okay Elucence is great for detangling and it is very lightweight IMO (my hair is thick so take this with a grain of salt). Plus it can be used as a leave in. Overall it's o.k., but not spectacular (I'm in the minority though).

DPR doesn't have the same detangling capabilities but it is a heavier, more moisturizing conditioner. I prefer it to Elucence because I have other conditioners that detangle well. BTW this has petroleum in it as one of the main ingredients.

ETA-Neither of these are strengthening conditioners. I suggest you try the redken atleast once. I used the smooth down butter treat and it was good for detangling.

I voted for Elasta because I love the way my hair feels after I use it. I have a relaxer. I've never used Elucence so I don't have anything to offer as far as it goes. Good luck with your decision.

I did not vote becaue I have not tried Elucence. Just ordered the Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo and Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner earlier today. I do know that when I deep conditioned with Elasta QP DPR me and my hair was not impressed. I ended up giving it away. Will not repurchase or try the Elasta QP DPR-11 again.

Both are equally good, but if you're deep conditioning then the DPR is probably better.

ALL I want for Christmas

i probably should try it
but i am petrified of possible tangles

i might have to give it a shot though, a wash is coming up

Yes... can these two conditioners even be compared? I'm thinking they serve different purposes. Their thickness/textures are very different. (Yes, I've used both). Their ingredients are different as well.

Maybe it depends on the individual's hair type/texture/thickness, etc.

I just bought a wonderful detangler made by Royal Roots, it a black owned company too. The bottle states it can be used as a leave in so I would suggest trying it once you done with the DC. Personally once I rinse my hair I like to apply something that helps detangle before moving on to styling or whatever I"ll be doing.

EbonyPerez, use that Redken Allsoft Heavy cream girl ! I have some of that and I know it is too expensive to waste. My hair is relaxed and I only use it once I get to my 8th - 12th week cause then my new growth is outta control. I don't leave it on long (about 10 -15 minutes max)because it has protein but it detangles pretty good and though some find it moisturizing I always follow it with a moisturizing detangling deep conditioner because of the protein. give it a shot and I mainly use it for pre-poos that is another way to use it also but its a good conditioner, you paid too much for it to just let it go my sista.

Blessed hair growing to you!

 

[BeatriceFly]

wish me luck!

I will vote Elucence, but I do love Redken all soft...In fact, I might buy a gallon. I have been a Redken fan since before I went natural, though. It is good for co-washes. Whenever, I took my braids out, I would pack the all soft conditioner on my hair and detangle the matted parts out. It was very good. Elucence is okay. I just have not been using it as much as I thought I would.

ITA. DPR 11 for Deep conditioner. I like both of these conditioners though.

okay so i tried the redken all soft heavy cream
and i dont know if it did anything
my hair felt fine afterwards
however, i did feel a bit of buildup as it dried and as i platted it
i dont know... it wasnt fabulous
but then again, i dont even know how to tell when a deep conditioner IS fabulous
