most fine hairs,non color treated seem to love it.
it's relatively inexpensive, so why not?

Well, I'm very fine-haired, but color-treated. I'm trying to find a natural conditioner that won't build-up on my hair or give me a waxy coat.

Yes, the price is right!!! :heart:

Valerie is THE one to ask, since part of her hair is color treated and part is not. and she loves this crap.

Karen!!! LOL!

It's not "crap" it is a very good light conditioner. Ah hem. It detangles fine straight hair very well (according to my hair).

Wonder why I hadn't thought to try it with the MM yet? I'll have to do that. Giovanni will send you samples right away if you email them. www.giovannicosmetics.com I think is the website.

As I recall, it works well on natural hair and colored...... couldn't hurt to try! I don't remember having buildup problems.

:shock:

You mean you still have it? LOL... that just surprises me. I knew you secretely loved the rough as sandpaper. hehe.

Actually, I am thinking it might work well. I've been experimenting now and then (I have alot of conditioners to use up!!). The Shikai brand conditiner (Amla and also the Henna ones) work well with MM, and so does AO honeysuckle rose. Go figure. The GPB and Island Spice yields major yuck-o's!

well valerie, i have been saving it to sell or trade to someone since it is the old formula.

i have some shikai brand conditioner too (i forgot what kind, it is in a beige bottle with an orange top and smells weird) and tons of AO conditioners. you are giving me lots of ideas.

That sounds like the Amla conditioner. Oooo... I love that one. I always thought it smelled good though. (Gee... can't we agree on *anything*?? LOL)

we agree that we like each other :heart: :heart: :love: :love:

i think it is just because our hair is so different .... and i have a weird sniffer. i smell things most people don't smell and perceive smell differently too, i.e. things that others around me think smell good, i say bad and vice versa.

:love:
