Beloved readers, Brianna asked:
“I’ve searched the entire internet(at least it felt that way).
I need a conditioner combo that will supply me with:
Moisture
Little to none silicones
Slip
Will give me soft pliable hair.
Nice scent (I am not particular, I just like my hair to have a pleasant smell)
I am willing to spend up to $15- 25I know its hard to offer suggestions without seeing the hair, but I am relaxed, its neck length, fine but alot of hair so I have to be careful not to weigh my hair down with products. I shampoo, deep condition, and flat iron my hair twice a month. I moisturize every other day with HHLTR leave in and seal with Grapeseed oil.
Just for more information, my hair likes HH Hello Hydration and Yes to Carrots C is for Conditioner. These products work the best out of the many I have tried.
My hair hates any ORS conditioner, the organix coconut conditioner, Suave almond and shea butter conditioner, and Aussie. Thats just a quick list.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.”
My dear that is a tall order, to be sure! You noted your hair likes HH and Say Yes to Carrots.
I would suggest trying the Say Yes to Cucumbers line as well, by the Say Yes to Carrots company as well as well as J/A/S/O/N conditioners and shampoos. Both lines do contain silicones, but are formulated very well to be clean-rinsing.
They leave hair smelling fresh, and feeling smooth, soft, and supple without weighing it down. You can read my reviews for J/A/S/O/N products here and Say Yes to Cucumbers here.
My relaxed hair appreciated Kinky-Curly products (don’t let the emphasis on curls scare you away from the line). You can read them here.
If you want to spend a bit more, No Frizz by Living Proof is currently blowing my little, golden mind with their amazing, hard-working products that have no silicones.
Aveda’s Damage Remedy line (also a bit pricey) may also suit your fancy. You can read my reviews for Aveda here and Living Proof here.
I have three more Living Proof reviews coming (two in February and one in March –I’m still using the product).
I hope this is helpful, dear heart.
Thank you for reading!

Thank you so much! I love the J/A/S/O/N conditioner as a co-wash.
I do have one more very simple questions.
I tried the Nexxus Humec. Moist. Conditioner. I hated it the first two times I used it after shampooing with the Suave Rosemary and Mint Shampoo. Left my hair hard afterwards.
I tried it again today. Didn’t shampoo, when I washed the conditioner out my hair felt like heaven. Is this a common occurence when mixing product lines?

My pleasure!
To answer your question:
Not necessarily, though you may have product build up that could be skewing your results?
I usually clarify before starting a new line of products in general or every few weeks depending on what I’m using.
Make sure that the shampoo you use is strong enough to remove your styling and conditioning products, to reduce the chances of product overload!
Take care!
