Lots of split ends. Hair just broke off: a disaster! Good because I decided to go natural and have been hunting for a miracle conditioner. I discovered Curl Harmony, a UK brand. The deep intensive repair conditioner is amazing. I have tried: Jessicurl weekly, Jessicurl too shea. Fekkai Protein RX (recommended by Oprah's hair stylist) but my hair hated this protein cocktail. I want to try Aubrey Honeysuckle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-69223150941038792262010-10-20T11:10:25.168+01:002010-10-20T11:10:25.168+01:00Before: Tresemme but did not do anything for my ha...Before: Tresemme but did not do anything for my hair.<br />After: Pantene Shampoo & definately Mediscalp Hair conditioner.The best of the best.

As you can see, I mostly used salon brands. <br /><br />After (natural): Trader Joe's Nourish Spa; Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose, Island Naturals, and GBP; Lekair Mango Cholesterol; Sauve Naturals (co-wash and detangle); Desert Essence Green Apple and Ginger Conditioner; Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp; and Giovanni Direct Leave-in (holy grail!). Mostly natural-ish stuff, not because I categorically believe that natural is better but because I don't use mineral oil or silicones and it's extremely difficult to find standard chemical formulations that don't have either of these.Monihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875579073898963226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-28976856916536683172010-04-12T20:38:24.542+01:002010-04-12T20:38:24.542+01:00Before - Relaxed Hair - Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and ...Before - Relaxed Hair - Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and Natural, Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise.<br /><br />After - Natural Hair - Coconut Oil (pre-poo) and V05.Loohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826394645616313887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-35932533103204444602010-04-12T18:57:22.397+01:002010-04-12T18:57:22.397+01:00Relaxed hair conditioners: Herbal essence (moistur...Relaxed hair conditioners: Herbal essence (moisturized, hair was stronger and retained length during the period I used), Queen Helen Cholesterol(left hair very soft, light& airy), Aphogee.<br /><br />Natural Hair conditioner: Aussie 3 minute miracle deep conditioner(leaves hair very soft, moisturized)Jonezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292395117002415272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-26423060499622549652010-04-12T18:12:20.937+01:002010-04-12T18:12:20.937+01:00Always natural.

Others worked well but were too expensive. I use conditioner primarily to minimize damage to my hair while detangling (pre-poo), not for conditioning or hair repair. I never use heat on my hair and almost always wear my hair in protective styles, so damage really isn't an issue for me. I also use a low-poo shampoo. Nevertheless, I would like to try some deep conditioning treatments that make the hair stronger and protect it from environmental damage.Applesaucehttp://a4applesauce.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-64005617351162206072010-04-12T17:59:27.778+01:002010-04-12T17:59:27.778+01:00Relaxed: My all time favorites were Dark and Lovel...Relaxed: My all time favorites were Dark and Lovely Dry Hair Healer conditioner and Dark and Lovely Moisture Seal Deep Conditioner.<br /><br />Now Natural: I tend to make my own conditioning concoctions using simply oils or yogurt (mayonnaise or sour cream) w oils.
