You have explained it very clearly as i wasn't finding the right words to express myself, i can show her this.<br /><br />I am curious about what the lecithin would do to hair too in the Extendzz product (i just received a sample of it), so i am off to do some research, cos all i can think of right now is it's a choline source for our acetylcholine (love me some neurobiology), but i don't see how that would help in hair styling, or maybe that as it helps bind fat molecules to water (so, maybe helps retain water on the hair, hence weighing it down and keeping it elongated, hence the product's claims of reducing shrinkage? hmmm<br />i need to look this up.<br />What do you think Jc?

Extenzz. The second ingredient is lecithin, so I am curious about what lecithin in that quantity does (if anything) for our hair. <br /><br />[This product is combed/brushed in - and left in - to reduce shrinkage, by the way. I can see how it could work, although I wonder about removal.]R.M.

I have the HH leave in and it actually isn't that great (to me!), it just isn't terrible either so I will finish it. <br /><br />Angie - I looked up the ingredients in the products you talked about. In both cases they are water, oil and a surfactant. In the case of pink oil it is water, mostly mineral oil and then sorbitan oleate(a surfactant). In the case of hair milk it is water, mostly natural oils and then cetyl alcohol (a surfactant). <br /><br />Different ingredients but same principleJchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-12703038527043961612011-01-12T16:10:32.436+00:002011-01-12T16:10:32.436+00:00I have always wondered why the HE conditioners see...I have always wondered why the HE conditioners seem to have the same ingredients as their leave-in counterparts (now I realise the proportion is probably different).<br /><br />For a while now, I have been taking the (unscientific?) route of adding aloe vera juice and EVOO to a dollop of HEHH and using it as a leave-in. I probably threw the formula out of whack for all I know, but my hair seems to love it.<br /><br />P.S. For the record, I have never seen the HE leave-in at any of our stores in Jamaica. That's my excuse. ;)R.M.
