Check out the shampoo and conditioner line from Lather. I've used them all and will never, ever go back to drug store/commercially produced products. If you only want to try one product, get the Avocado Mint Hair Repair. It's totally the most amazing product I've ever used. The few girlfriends I've gifted this stuff to can't live without it either. I promise, it will amaze you.

After I "Lather" myself, I finish my regime with a nickel sized squeeze of Nexxus Phyto Organics Extreme Moisturizing conditioner as a leave in from the ears to the ends. (I'm currently at waist length aiming for classic length).... I also found that occasional sprays of Nexxus Humectress Luxe Ultimate Moisturizing Leave-In Spray helps to maintain the moisture level in my hair plus as an added benefit, it gives my hair a really deep shine and keeps it smelling wonderfully fresh between washes. I finally found a resolution to endless tangles and knots that seem to come with waist length hair.

Another little known secret to resurrecting your hair and skin is the simple installation of a shower filter. I chose to install an Aquasauna shower filter roughly 7 months ago and am totally blown away over how drastically my hair and skin has improved.

Forgive me if I sound like a commercial here but I know many of us committed to our long hair waste tons of time and money on products that promise you everything and do nothing but disappoint and frustrate. Who knows, maybe this routine (or part of it) will work for you too. Enjoy !

We sure appreciate it!

for the review! I'll have to check out the Lather products. I'll have to leave the Nexxus stuff alone though...my hair does not handle cones very well. Also, with my sensitive scalp the coumarin in that might give me a reaction!

If anyone here wants to check out the Lather products, you can find an ingredients list with the product at Amazon. Happy shopping!
