An observation about Suave conditioners

I tried the Suave Professionals Auphui S&C.
Love the shampoo but ...... the conditioner

This has happened with the Suave Professionals
and the regular Suave before.
I love the shampoo's.
However the condtioners are not very
moisturizing and make my hair
feel like I didn't even use conditoner.
Doesn't matter if the conditioner says
moistuizing or not.
It doesn't do anything for my hair.

On thing is... I really like the conditoners
for shave lotion. At least they have a
good use there

I think I need to quit trying the condioners
and stick with the shampoos only

Hmm...I wonder what's in it that causes you not to like it.

Maybe if you could compare the ingredients list with other conditioner you didn't like it the past you could find THE ingredient or ingredients that don't compliment your hair and then you could stay away from those particulars.

Just an idea

Hmmm..the conditioners work for me...if I let them set for a while, my hair is really soft....maybe your hair doesn't like one of the ingredients....they don't have any 'cones in them...at least not the ones I use.......does your hair like cones????

I've had the same experience with Suave conditioners. The shampoos work just fine, but the conditioners don't do anything at all - not even detangle no matter how much I used. Cones or no cones, for my hair they're a waste of money.

cheapie conditioners...

Hi,

For what it's worth, I don't think hardly any of the cheapie conditioners are any good as actual conditioners. They are too light. That's what makes them so good as CO washing conditioners. When CO washing, light is good!

Anyway, that's my not-very-humble-opinion.

I agree on the shave cream thing At least Suave is cheap and you didn't invest 20 bucks and then hate it. I really liked the Pear and Canberrys shampoos they had last winter. I think it was mostly the scent.

I guess I"m in the minority here - I don't touch the shampoos cuz of the sulphates, but I just LOVE the humectress conditioner. I use it as a base and blend other conditioners and oils, etc. with it. It really boosts the blend this way, and it's so cheap, I can use tons of it. I love it!

If I had enough money to buy gentler shampoos, I would....but there's nothing inexpensive that doesn't have sulfates in it at Wal-Mart...which is the only place to shop around here...we also have Ingles and Food Lion.....the closest mall is 45 minutes away.........is there anything inexpensive that doesn't have sulfates in it?????

hey betty...i feel your pain--suave conditioner did nothing for me (and when i used to use the shampoo, apple was my staple). i also have coarse hair, so i'm wondering if texture has anything to do with it.

I liked the humectress line too Axium. It has a coconuty smell too that was nice. And it made my hair feel moisterized (sic).

Snippet, that's the first time I've ever seen anyone apply the *sic* interjection. I've always enjoyed reading this one, and I think it's a sign of intelligence and education on your part to have thrown it into the vernacular. How geeky do I sound now? Just had to remark

hehe, I was too tired to actually look it up and my mouth didn't work right to spell it phonetically. A lot of times I look at my posts and I've got misspellings and I want to correct them, but can't. I figure most everyone ignores the typos (I'm bad about one hand typing faster than the other) and forgives the poster.

Komodokaji: sic means spelled incorrectly
