Star of the Line

[daviine]

There are many product lines out there that have a lot of good products...some lines have only one good product in the whole line.....

If you could use(or recommend) only one product from a line/brand, what would it be?

In other words, what product is the star of that particular line?

Example: Salerm---- Salerm 21 Leave-In
Joico-----KPak Daily Conditioner


I haven't really thought of my choices, but I've meaning to ask this question for a while now.

I'm not going to restrict it to any line/brand but to get you started here are some: Nexxus, Deep Brilliance, L'anza, Profectiv, Biolage, Neutrogena, Aveda...I can't think of any more right now.....

Edited to add: Elasta QP, Suave, VO5, Kenra, Elucence, Motions, Pantene.....

 

[Armyqt]

I can't really pinpoint any one product from a line becuase I've been having great success from many products in certain prduct lines. For example:

Kenra (Poo, CO. Leave-in)
Deep Brilliance (Poo, CO. Leave-in)
Elucence (POO, CO, )
Salerm (CO, Leave-in)
Keracare is another great line, but dosen't beat out my top 3.
I'm also digging the Tigi Bed head line at the moment

 

[DigitalRain]

I'm doing well with

Redken Smooth Down Line - Heat Glide & Butter Treat
Aveda Sap Moss Nourishing Concentrate and Shampoo

 

[daviine]

ArmyQT----you're not helping girl! You either DigitalRain---

Use your imagination---suppose you only had enough money to buy one of the products OR the company wanted to discontinue the line but was only willing to keep one product......

I know its a scary thought but just pretend for a few moments...

Ooh what a scary thought...but I'll play along.

Kenra: Moisturizing conditioner

Deep Brilliance: Reconstruct conditioner

Salerm: Leave-in

Tigi: Split ender

Keracare: Humecto conditioner

As you can see I'm very impartial to conditioners. But a great conditioner can nullify the effects of any bad shampoo.

 

[daviine]

Okay....I'm sorry to have made you do that.

Anyways--when you mentioned the leave in in the Kenra line, where you referring to the Daily Provisions LI? Does it remind you of the Elasta QP H2? Are they made by the same company?

 

[Armyqt]

Now see.....why you asking about other stuff in the line

Yeah I was referring to the Daily Provisions. It has reallygreat ingredients and it detangles very well. It wouldn't beat out Salerm 21 leave-in though. I'd probably use them together, since one is watery and the other creamy.

It's been a long time since I've used the H2 so i can't really rermember the effects well enough to make a fair comparison.

 

[DigitalRain]

Okay, as hard as it is, here goes

Redken - Heat Glide
Aveda - Nourishing Concentrate
Cantu - Break Cure Strengthening Treatment
Revlon - Creme of Nature Shampoo
Deep Brilliance - DB Relaxer
Profectiv - Phase 2 Detangling Leave in Conditioner
L'Oreal - Mega Moisture

 

[daviine]

I was thinking of using a watery leave-in to thin out some of the creaminess of the Salerm 21.....

I received a sample of the Daily Provisions and the ingredient list and smell reminded me of H2. I could be wrong though....
