Not a problem... look at it this way, you actually just thought me a few new terms to use.

CON moisturizing poo, been used since childhood and I'm buying all I see cuz when it's gone, it's gone!

Silicon Mix DC- some love it, others loathe it. Gives me great slip and has allowed me to lengthen my stretches (currently 30 wks post).

D'Fina 11 en 1 DC-same reason as above. Actually, almost all of my Dominican conditioners are keepers

JBCO, EVCO, EVOO-where would I be w/o you?

WRTC-*SLAP MYSELF* I just remember you said you were a newbie and I may be using WAY too many acronyms, sorry! JBCO= Jamaican Black Castor Oil, EVCO= Extra Vrigin Coconut Oil, EVOO= Olive Oil, WRTC= White Rain Tropical Coconut conditioner.

I have others, but these are just off rip always on my shopping list.

I've only been here a few months but...

Oyin's Honey Wash, Honey Hemp Conditioner (DC, cowash, leave-in), Juices&Berries, and Whipped Pudding (to moisturize while in braids/weaves)

When I run out of Honey Hemp and haven't received my new order yet, I use Giovanni 50:50 for cowashes and Giovanni Smooth as Silk for DC's.


For those of you using coconut milk, what exactly are you using it for?

 

[R4L]

Curls tea tree deep conditioner. Works great, and it smells soooo good.

 

[Britt]

Which ones are you using?

Smooth as Silk - love this.. I think it's a good moisturizing conditioner with good enough slip.

Magnetic Line Restructuring Conditioner - best $3 I ever spent, I bought it on a whim at GNC months back. I was more than plesantly surprised with this.

50/50 Moisturizing Conditioner - this is very moisturizing on my hair.

All three of these conditioners give me similar results, and I love them all. I could honestly say that they could easily replace my Elucence and Kenra, and that's saying *a lot*. I also like that they are great deep conditioners, I never felt Elucence was really a deep conditioner but I it as a rinse out or for quick conditioning
