Hello again.
I had hoped that what I posted was clear, but to some of you it wasn't.
No one is saying that Humecto is bad, or does not do anything for your hair. Continue to use it for replenishing moisture into the hair on a frequent and regular basis. Moisture conditioners are quite often misinterpreted and misused in an attempt to do for the hair what deep penetrating treatments do more efficiently. Both are to be used in tandem to resolve a lot of the issues people post having on this board, as you will see if you read the Syed article I provided.
The purpose of me posting this information was to let you know that many of you utilize some really great and effective products in a way that is misleading. In expecting a product to do more than what is designed to do is just...choosing my words...misguided.
The hope was also that if one presented valid information beyond the borders of this website and its hopeful speculation, that some of you would be prompted to do your own research and try your products in such a way as they were intended. Maybe you will, and maybe you won't. None of my business either way. However, this was not intended for you to "freak out" as they say, and worry about purchasing this or reusing that. I am certain that many of you all (esp. product junkies that listed more than one product for this thread) have real deep conditioners at home. Its just that Humecto (and one other one I will NOT mention due to prospective hysteria) isn't one of them.
I do believe that if you simply take an objective eye to the labels of the products you already own, using the information I gave that you will be able to figure it out and properly apply these notes to your own hair, for your own journey. To be candid, there have been/are so many members on this board that have spent countless hours researching and taking an objective and even scientific approach to this science of hair that it seems only fair that the rest of you do the same.
Cheers,
A.
