Best conditioner

[JennAshleywuby]

I have thick, wavy, butt length hair and no matter what I use, my hair is still frizzy and dry. I really like the ouai but it’s too expensive for washing my hair every 3 days.

@JennAshleywuby I also have curly/frizzy hair and find when it's healthiest that's when it does the best frizz-wise. At sephora I have had good results with some Devacurl products (especially the deep conditioner, once a week when my hair got super dry in the winter), Olaplex 3 for making it stronger/ damage repair (but not moisturizing), and Living Proof's Perfect hair day.

I love Aveda's products and I keep going back to them personally, but that is 100% because I am in love with the way they smell. I love their branding and commitment to sustainability and being good to the environment but if I'm honest if they didn't smell how they do I'd be far more likely to stray from the brand. I use the curly shampoo and the curly co-wash. I don't use their curly conditioner since it's too much for me, and the co-wash gives my hair the perfect healthy silky-soft texture without overdoing it with a moisturizing treatment and damage repair treatment here or there as I need it. The only styling products I use are the curly style-prep and the phomollient foam but before that I used Biore's leave-in conditioner (frequently on sale at ulta and JCP) and a firm hold gel or curl mousse from herbal essences that worked as well with essentially the same effect

The most important thing is finding a gentle shampoo that still leaves some moisture in your hair, paying attention to the ends of your hair past your scalp- where it gets driest. Damage repairing treatments are great for making hair healthier but they won't give the softness/texture you may be looking for- that will come from a moisturizing treatment or conditioner. For me, over conditioning leads to tangles and roughness and it feels like it does when it's dry- so it can get hard for me to tell what my hair needs. When in doubt I keep shampooing until the foaming gets way out of control (Super foamy shampoo= no oils left) and then I apply conditioner, so I'm sure of the level of oils/moisturizers in my hair

DEFINITELY the deva curl conditioner for wavy hair. If it's frizzy then maybe switching or stop using shampoo. 

DEVACURL - No-Poo Original Zero Lather Conditioning Cleanser

Try our Nutritive conditioner for extremely dry hair, along with this Nutritive hair mask:

@JennAshleywuby  I really like AMIKA - Soulfood Nourishing Mask

i find it thick and rich. But I’ve also been using  Verb Ghost Weightless Hair Mask for Fine Hair 6.3 oz/ 180 g

Its lighter then soul food but still really moisturize my hair.

I also have thick, frizzy hair and two products stand out in my mind as things that have helped me tame it:

• AMIKA - Soulfood Nourishing Mask: My hair has never been as soft as it is when using this mask. It's seriously a game-changer. I got it as a Play! sample and the very next Sephora order I made included the full size.
• ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Replenishing Moisture Conditioner 16.5 oz/ 488 mL and ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Replenishing Moisture Shampoo 16.5 oz/ 488 mL : I also got these as Play! samples, though this was a long time ago. Maybe in my first few boxes last year. I have yet to buy the full sizes because I have a ton of other shampoos and conditioners I'm trying to get through but I swear they made my hair smell amazing for DAYS after I washed it. My boyfriend got sick of me talking about how good my hair smelled, lol. And they left my hair extremely soft and shiny.

@JennAshleywuby   I had a couple of sample bottles of Verb Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner that I used yesterday for the first time.  I was impressed!  My hair was soft, the curls were more defined and my hair looked better than it usually does as it has been resembling a steel wool pad, and it was even shiny.

Alterna Caviar conditioner works well for me also, as does Madison Reed.

I really like Kevin Murphy's Hydrate-Me Rinse for daily use. I've tried a gazillion conditioners but this one is really hydrating. You can get it in an econo-size and it's pretty affordable that way. If your hair is damaged at the ends though, you'll need to trim it.

I second this - my hair loves it! It seems expensive, but I find it's very concentrated and you don't have to use as much as you would with other shampoos/conditioners.

Besides that, I've found using OLAPLEX - No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Cremeas a leave-in has really helped my hair, too.

@JennAshleywuby I've found that the more I baby my hair, the less frizz-prone it is.  Here's what I do to banish my frizz-prone hair:

Shampoo: Sulfate-free is really helpful for me - it's like night and day.  I use Pureology Hydrate.

Conditioner: I really like Biolage Hydrasource Conditioning Balm.  It's a big seller at Ulta.

Styling products: I personally really rely on silicone serums to help with frizz.  I use Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum.  I follow up with Phytodefrisant - but just to give my hair some slip for blow drying.  Once I integrated It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product I became a believer.  

Hair oil: I use them on dry hair after heat styling.  I just started using  Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Frizz Reducing Hair Oil 3.4 oz/ 100 mL

and the enthusiasm over this product is well deserved.

Anti-frizz spray: I use LIVING PROOF - No Frizz Humidity Shield

and while it isn't a miracle worker, it does help.

Dry shampoo: This is really important b/c it lets me skip shampoos, so my hair gets less damage from water and heat styling.  I like to use KLORANE - Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk - Loose Powder Formula

I also never towel dry my hair, and only use a wide toothed comb (except for blow drying of course).

If my hair does happen to get frizzy, I like to use  ALTERNA Haircare Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Oil Mist 4.2 oz/ 125 mL

which calms it down better than the other oils I own.

Best of luck!  🙂

i have thin, curly/wavy but also dry hair. so some difference but perhaps the key element (dry) is the same. my hair routine lately has been working quite well for me, so i'll just relay what i'm doing in case any of these things sound good:

once or twice a month i do the  Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment 3.3 oz / 100 mL treatment. this isn't a conditioner per se, but a treatment (use on wet hair BEFORE shampooing, shampoo out and then do conditioner). on damp (not soaking wet) hair i'll apply about a chickpea size amount of the OLAPLEX - No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Creme-- and i use this as needed on dry hair, a small amount primarily on my ends. what i've noticed about these two olaplex products is they make my long hair look like i've been getting proper trims when, in face, i haven't been. they're bond correctors, which can help with damaged ends.

as far as moisture goes, i'm a big fan of devacurl. you don't have to have curly hair to use the products. i use a pump of the DEVACURL - SUPERCREAM® Coconut Curl Styleron soaking wet hair, right out of the shower. this locks in the moisture. i adore their hair conditioning mask too , which i tend to use as my regular conditioner, though i wash my hair less frequently than you do, it's the DEVACURL - Melt into Moisture Matcha Butter Conditioning Mask

i'd also look into getting an SLS-free shampoo. there are loads on the market now.

i know this isn't a cheap solution, but i find most of these products last me a while, and i'm actually spending less on hair care because i'm not buying a bunch of stuff trying to find things that'll 'fix' my hair anymore. hope this is helpful !

Thank you 😊

Pricey but I have started using Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment 3.3 oz / 100 mL

and it is doing beautiful things to my hair.  Also, I am using CHRISTOPHE ROBIN - Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil and it is wonderfully moisturizing.  Again, not cheap.  My hair is wavy and to my armpits. It used to be frizzy with dry ends until I started these.  I also switched my shampoo to Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance™ Strengthening Hair Repair Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL

 which is way nicer on my hair than the salon stuff I was using. Good luck in your search! @JennAshleywuby

While I try to recommend items sold at Sephora as this is a Sephora community, I do have a great recommendation for your hair. It’s not a brand well known however it has been around FOREVER and is absolutely hair changing. This one product just blows my mind and spreads so well in the hair. Check out Tri Design Keratin Amino Intense Repair. I’m a stylist, trust me your hair will thank you.

Thank you I’ll try it! ♥️
