Cheap conditioner

Aldro

I'm looking for a cheap conditioner that I can use daily. I wash my hair with shampoo regularly, because I run three times a week and my hair and scalp like to be very clean. I would very much like a mild and affordable conditioner to go with that. Ideally, it won't weigh my hair down and give me volume.

Since I live in The Netherlands and have limited access to most products that are mentioned here, I've been looking for Dutch web shops that sell CG-friendly products. Unfortunately, I am still fairly new to being a CG and don't know a lot of the brands they sell. I'm hoping someone here can tell me if any of the conditioners listed below are worth trying.

- Africa's Best Instant Detangling Conditioner with Aloe Vera
- Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizing Rinse Out Conditioner
- Hollywood Beauty Argan Conditioner
- Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Repairing Conditioner
- Pink RevitaLEX

Thank you!

The palmers conditioner contains a silicone. The Cantu one should be fine, none of their products have silicone and they are very well priced too.

I'm going to order the Cantu conditioner and go ahead and try the shampoo and Curl Activator Cream while I'm at it. Thanks for your reply!

No problem:) I also like the cantu deep conditioning mask and comeback curl refresher. Excellent products for the price!

I ordered the following products by Cantu:

- Shea Butter Moisturizing Cream Shampoo
- Shea Butter Moisturizing Rinse Out Conditioner
- Shea Butter Natural Hair Curl Activator Cream

I received the products yesterday and immediately was a bit disappointed. The shampoo contains SLS, which is something I actively try to avoid along with silicones and parabens. I looked up the ingredients before ordering and nowhere did it list SLS as one of the ingredients. But it's listed on the back of the bottle. Dammit.

Both the shampoo and conditioner smell very nice, though. The Curl Activator Cream, however, does not. It has a rather strong chemical smell. Even if it does wonders for my curls, which I have yet to find out, I'm not sure I'll continue using it because of the smell.

I was really hoping these three products would tick all the boxes for me and become staple products, but once I've used them up, the search for my HG products continues.

Do you have a Sally's near you? People rave about their generic conditioning balm Matrix dupe.

Have you tried the Inecto brand? Available at Kruidvat and even Action I believe. Dirt cheap, too.
Mind you, the last ingredient on the list ís alcohol, so if you wantb to avoid that, this is not the best choice. I figure, since there's very little in it ánd I'm rinsing it out, it wouldn't be too bad.

Nope, no Sally's where I live. Thanks, though!

I've tried the Coconut Oil shampoo and conditioner from Inecto a few years ago, but felt that it was weighing my hair down. And their shampoo also contains SLS. But I read that they recently renewed their products and I'm now considering trying their Argan oil conditioner. As for another shampoo, I've read good things about Sante and their Family line. At 9 euros, the price for a 500ml bottle is very favorable.

I use the Inecto coconut conditioner to make my refresher spray. As its diluted down the alcohol is not an issue, and i like the smell and the price!
