Hey!
So I've been using Alaffia's Hair Lotion for a while now but thinking I might want something thicker for the colder weather. I was gonna try Coffee Coco Curl Creme Lite but then I looked at the ingredients and I definitely don't want propylene glycol on my hair and scalp (among other things).
What I wanted to ask you all is if you have some favorite brands? How thick are the products you use? Etc? I was thinking about trying Giovanni but I know there's protein in it and protein's kinda looked down upon in the colder months...
Thanks for the help!

As for protein, I personally haven't had a problem with it as an ingredient in colder months…. I just can't use straight up continuous gelatin PTs in the winter. But protein seems fine for most who normally do well with it, at least in moderation.
Lisa _J, if you want chemical free-ish conditioners, there is John Masters, Aubrey Organics, Mineral Fusion Volumizing. There's KCKT but it has a chemical preservative.
