Your help: pH list - conditioners, leave ins, styling products
The shampoo pH list was hugely popular and you requested another set for conditioners and leave ins. Please list any products that you have used in the last 2 years in the folllowing categories. Please do not include oils as they have no pH.
1. Conditioners (Rinse out conditioners, Protein and Deep Conditioners - NOT leave ins)
2. Styling Products ( Leave in Conditioners, Moisturisers, Styling aids eg gel/mousse/setting lotions )
I will start
1. Conditioners - Herbal Essences mask and jar ( hello hydration, beautiful ends, smooth and wavy, long term relationship, soft and smooth), aphogee, komaza care protein, organix shea butter, l'occitane shea butter, aveda rosemary, tresseme naturals...........eek did not realise how many products i used
2. Styling products - Giovanni direct leave in, herbal essences split end cream, lush r&b, flax seed gel
If you are interested I narrowed my favourites to herbal essesnces mask soft and smooth and the split end cream.

Yay! Thank you my biggest concern with it comes to ph are leave in conditioners. I don't want to mix the kimmaytube recipe any longer. I am hoping to find one with a almost neutral ph (not too acid, or alkaline).
ReplyDeleteThe styling products (leave in conditioner) I used are:
Giovanni Direct Line In
Garnier Sleek and shine
Kinky Curly Knot Today
Infusium 23 liquid leave in
jessicurl deep conditioner is sometimes used as a leave
you can always add apple cider vinegar to the conditioners to bring the ph, I hope that stops you from throwing any of your conditioners out :)
DeleteReally??
DeleteThanks again for the shampoo list! It was fab!

I'd like to know for those conditionners from Garnier I don't know if you can find it in anglo-saxons countries but it's the "Garnier Ultra doux" (maybe Garnier super soft :s) there's the one with avocado and shea butter and the other one with vanilla and papaya. I hope you can tell me more about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks from France for your very informative blog (even if you can't find for those ^-^).
A year later and those two exact conditioners are now my staples - how weird is that??
