Suave Natural Care Tropical Coconut
Got this a looong time ago. It sat in the cupboard until I ran out of good conditioner, then I decided to use it up. Works fine, nothing special. Has a strong coconut smell which dissapates rapidly in my hair, but makes the bathroom smell like a pina colada. On my ten least wanted list it has Propylene Glycol. It also has some other long names, but they aren't on my short list, so I don't know about them. It also has nettles, coconut extract, silk amino acids and rosemary. Says it "naturally moisturizes and replenishes dry or damaged hair. While it works just fine, it's a bit light, I like it to mix with other things. I mixed it with my shea butter and it smells terrific.
Suave Naturals Milk & Honey with milk protein & honey extract
When I was hennaing my hair I realized I was probably going to run out of cheap conditioner, so I gave Kerry my list of no-nos and sent him off to the grocery store. He came back with the Milk and Honey conditioner. He knows how much I like Tanja's honey miracle goop. Again, propylene glycol was on the list, the rest of the stuff I have no idea what it is. But the non-scientific stuff is jojoba, Vitamin E Acetate, Aloe, honey extract (???) milk protein. Then we have a long list of big words.
I'd rinsed repeatedly with the Coconut conditioner and my hair still felt matted and waaay too clean, especially after the ACV rinse. I decided to try the milk and honey. First, it's waaay slicker than the other stuff on my wet hair. Just rubbing it between my fingers, they are about the same though. Milk and honey is a little slicker. The coconut seemed to wash out more thoughly while the milk & honey kept the slickness. I ended up using the milk and honey to condition my last rinse. My hair immediately stopped feeling like a coarse mat.
The Milk and Honey cost $1.19 at the grocery store, which is about the same we paid for the Coconut. I'll probably use the Coconut for washes and mixing and the Milk and Honey for conditioning. The fragarence on the Milk & Honey is light and slightly sweet. Once it's in my hair, even without being rinsed out, it just smells fresh and nice. The Coconut smell hangs around a lot longer, but isn't obnoxious. I just gooped a bunch of each on my hair and am letting it dry to see how they shape up.
All in all, for cheap conditioners I think they do thier jobs nicely.
