Conditioner reccomendations needed!!! :-)

[Erica78]

Hey Everyone!

Anyone know of a good conditioner that is alcohol and mineral oil free? I have been doing conditioner washes with KeraCare Humecto Conditioner for the past 2 weeks now, but it contains Mineral Oil. I'm looking for a new conditioner to try out. I will still continue to use the Humecto Creme Conditioner...just not on a daily basis.

Anyone have any good reccomendations?!?!

Try kenra moisturizing. It is on sale at my ulta for 50% off. You can't buy it online, you have to get it from the store.

Erica,

What's wrong with the Humecto?

Re: Conditioner reccomendation needed!!!

Thanks for the Kenra info. I have never heard of it before.

I'm going to purchase it this weekend.

There isn't really anything wrong with the Humecto conditioner. In fact...I love it. The main reason for me wanting to change is that I am trying my best (as hard as it is ) to cut down on products that contain mineral oil. Some people say that Mineral Oil is bad for the hair...and some have never had a problem with it. Since I started doing conditioner washes 3 or more times a week...I would like to use a conditioner without it.

Humecto will still be used in my regimen...just not as frequently.

Erica,

If this helps you any, I don't think you really need to worry about the mineral oil in the Humecto. Your rinsing it out. From what I understand mineral oil is in quite a few conditioners and actually can help lock in moisture, you know kind of how if you use baby oil on shower damp skin--it locks in the moisture.

I know for me personally I can use conditioners with mineral oil in them but, I cannot use hair creams or anything that you don't rinse out that has mineral oil in it--my hair hates it in that way!

Hope that helps, I know you will make your own decision though.

Thanks for the advice.

You know...it's so hard to make a decision about mineral oil because the bad things and the good things that I've heard about it are 50/50. I have cut out alcohol all together...but with mineral oil...it's too hard to cut out. You're right...it seems like most hair care products contain it. I guess it is worse if it is in hair oil since that is left on the hair...and eventually soaks into the scalp.

I second this recommendation. I got mine for $13 @ Ulta, normally $26 for the big bottle. I already have 2 big bottles that I haven't even started on yet. But at this price I think I'm gonna go pick up 2 more this weekend. Try it, I think you'll fall in love

Re: Conditioner reccomendation needed!!!

i've never heard of ulta either.

Re: Conditioner reccomendation needed!!!

Unfortunately...I don't have an Ulta in my area either. I will have to look for a store that sells it online. I found a couple of places already. One place has it for $10.99.

Re: Conditioner reccomendation needed!!!

i would recommend pantene relaxed & natural intensive moisturizing conditioner for conditioner washes. mane 'n tail deep moisturizing conditioner is also a keeper.

Mineral oil doesn't help or hurt the hair. The mineral oil is more so for the product consistency and make up.

Re: Conditioner reccomendation needed!!!

I must say I did a conditioner wash last night with Lustrasilk Cond. (I have 2 tubs i'm trying to use up) and I deep conditioned with Kenra Moisturizing Cond. and I love it!!! My hair dried really well and is very moisturized. I am definately going to get myself the bigger bottle. Is there an Ulta in NYC . Kenra is my new staple
