1. What is your current favourite?
ReplyDeletecurrently i love Crown Pride Naturals Avocado Detangling Conditioner
2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner?
Last month (February)
3. What new conditioner did you buy?
hahaha, many many! Giovanni's conditioners (all of them), Curls Curlada, Yes To Cucumbers (a staple always in rotation), Carol's Daughter Hairl Milk Curl Perfecting Cond, and Tresemmé Naturals
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner?
I am a PJ, and although i already have staples, i like to try new ones!
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why?
Well, i would repurchase Tresemmé, Yes to Cucumbers, and so far the giovanni's smooth as silk, boo booo to Carol's Daughter!
6. Could you new conditioner become a favourite?
The Tresemmé has become a favourite and the SAS from giovanni might too!
1. What is your current favourite?
ReplyDeleteI'd say the Trésemme Naturals Nourishing, though I wish it were a bit more strengthening.
2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner?
Eh, I got one during the Christms break - so about 3 months ago.
3. What new conditioner did you buy?
L'oreal Elvive Nutri-gloss Revive Masque (I don't even have the tub with me and I know it off by heart - I need to get out more! *sad sigh*)
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner?
I thought I needed a DC and it had Behemontrimum Chloride, the cheaper version of Behmeontrimum MethoSulfate and I wanted to see if my hair liked it.
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why?
Not really. It's okay, but the glitter in it (yes, I sai glitter!) makes my hands look sill y after using it. I don't need shiny hands! Plus, I don't realy need a DC anyway.
6. Could you new conditioner become a favourite?
Naaaaah. I have to keep on souping it up with castor and coconut oil when I need a DC - might as well skip it and keep it simple!
1. What is your current favourite? Giovanni Smooth as Silk
ReplyDelete2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner? About 2 months ago
3. What new conditioner did you buy? KCKT
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner? Giovanni is great for a rinse out, but I needed a leave in

Loving all the different answers and reasons, (lol even Hybridomatech's - I'm a PJ).
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated!
1. What is your current favourite? Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp
ReplyDelete2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner? 1 month ago
3. What new conditioner did you buy? Aussie Moist 3 Minute Miracle
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner? Always read about it and wanted to try it.
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why? Yes I already have, I use it after my cowash or shampoo and conditioner, it defrizzes my curls and make them a bit smoother also with great texture. My hair feels very soft.
6. Could your new conditioner become a favourite? Yes because I can go into any store and get it. I love that and Suave Professionals, Humectant, Moisture Humectant and Almond & Shea... all old formulas.
1. Shea Moisture DTM
ReplyDelete2. About 2 months ago

ReplyDelete1. current favourite:
J Frieda Frizz-Ease Erste Hilfe Glättungs Conditioner / name in the UK: Straight Ahead style-activating daily conditioner
2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner?
Last month
3. What new conditioner did you buy?
Aussie Miracle Moist
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner?
Just for the excitement. Whenever I'm in UK I buy beauty things we don't have here =)
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why?
No, not enough slip, but I did repurchase my last year's UK souvenir, Organix nourishing Coconut milk conditioner. It smells so gooooood!
6. Could your new conditioner become a favourite?
No, the Aussie doesn't compare at all. The Organix could have been a favourite if it wasn't for Frieda, which gives me more slip, and is in the same price range, so I'll stick to Frieda. But the Organix smell is heaven, so whenever I'm in UK I will stock up =9 ...

1. Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturizing Treatment
ReplyDelete2. About 3 months ago
3. I was using Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose
4. For deep conditioning, everyone was raving about it
5. No, the Silk Elements is more moisturizing for my hair
6. No
1) my current favourite is Pink Revitalex. Mixed with olive oil and egg yolk, it's GREAT!
ReplyDelete2)2-3 months ago
3)Timotei with macadamia and olive oils.
4)i bought it because it has macadamia oil in it. i wanted to know what this oil really does for hair.
5)hmmm... it's ok. it doesn't have enough slip, compared to my beloved Pink Revitalex. Perhaps i'll buy it again because of the smell (i know i'm crazy ;o)
6)No! Pink is my love for ever lol!
Anon with the question on whether coconut oil on the scalp will harm you - I encourage everyone to be in charge of your own hair and scalp. I use huge amounts of coconut oil especially the night before swimming and it has never affected me. However others have reported allergies and itchiness. You have to observe and see what it does to your hair. At the first hint of a problem, take action.
ReplyDelete1. Giovanni 50/50
ReplyDelete2. March
3. Oyin Honey Hemp
4. Wondered if I could find a better conditioner.
5. Nope, does not have the slip. Love the detangling comb goes thru my hair with the 50/50. It is like butter.
1. Tresemme Naturals Nourishing
ReplyDelete2. about 6 weeks ago
3. Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner
4. Because it's a deep conditioner and I wanted to see if using a commercial deep conditioner would benefit my hair
5. Meh, probably not. I don't think that deep conditioning with this stuff really made any big difference to my hair
6. Nope. I'm not a big fan of it, and I'm actually kind of mad at myself now for buying a bottle of this instead of just one or two of the little one use sachets to try it out.
Overall, when it comes to regular rinse-out conditioners, I'm basically looking for whatever costs least. Here in the UK I buy whatever conditioner is on offer at Boots/Superdrug/Tesco, and that's worked out for me so far, with the Tresemme Naturals and before that HEHH. When I'm at home (in the Caribbean) I buy VO5 Moisture Milks because they're pretty much the cheapest thing available and they get the job done.
1. What is your current favourite? Giovanni SAS.
ReplyDelete2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner?
Not recently. I first purchased SAS in August '10. I bought several bottles as a 2 for 1. No PJ here.
3. What new conditioner did you buy? Not applicable.
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner? Not applicable. Again no PJ.
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why? I love Giovanni SAS, it's a staple.
6. Could your new conditioner become a favourite?
Again I am pleased with Giovanni SAS, so unless something changes with the formula, I ain't changing. If it ain't broke...lol.

1. What is your current favourite?
ReplyDeleteCholesterol, I guess. Probably the Lustrasilk Shea Butter one?
2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner?
I think the last time I bought a new conditioner was in December. As of the beginning of 2011, I'm not allowing myself to buy ANY new hair stuff until I use up what I've got, which should last me the rest of the year.
3. What new conditioner did you buy?
A few different things from Bear Fruit Hair, during their holiday sale.
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner?
I couldn't resist the sale prices, after seeing the quality of the ingredients. Sigh.

I don't know yet, because I'm still using some others and haven't even tried them!

ReplyDeleteBiolage Conditioning Balm
2. How long ago did you buy a different conditioner
6 months ago
3. What new conditioner did you buy?
yes to carrots, aubrey organics White Camellia, & giovanni smooth as silk
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner?
looking for a conditioner without parabens
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why?
yes to carrots: yes. the others: no. it's all about the slip, because I detangle my hair during the conditioning stage and i need lots of slip. i even add castor oil to increase slippage but for some conditioners it is still not enough.
6. Could your new conditioner become a favourite?
no, i'm going to keep trying different conditioners.
1. Current fave: Herbelle but that may just be temporary.
ReplyDelete2. How long ago: 2 months ago.
3. No new buy.
4. I would buy a new one if it had a nice list of ingredients that wouldn't irritate my skin.
5. I'm not going to switch conditioners for now because I'm not in a stage where I'm interested in trying out new products all the time. I'll just stick with what I have for now.

3. What new conditioner did you buy?
Aussie Moist
4. Why did you buy the new conditioner?
I read the ingredients and compared them with HE HH (yes, I'm one of those folks you'll see reading bottles in the store) and saw that, minus, like, three ingredients, they were basically the same.
5. Would you repurchase the new conditioner and why?
No. Those three ingredients in HE HH apparently make the difference in my hair, lol.
6. Could your new conditioner become a favourite?
Not really...if someone gave me some I'd probably use it in a leave-in mix or something.
