Gotta say I really like it and I think it may be a suitable replacement for my Kenra should I run out or cheap out. I like that it rinses squeaky clean like my Kenra.

Thanks for the welcome back. *hug*
Had a very busy month and just starting to get things back to normal around here.
I really am liking the conditioner but I'm hoping to find the one in the bottle at a drugstore that's listed in the thread asking for where to buy in Canada. I find the tube a wee bit thick for my hair but I'm thinking the more runny stuff will be perfect.
BTW - your hair is looking amazing in your new pics!!!!

Figuring out this CG stuff... sort of!
Big Chop on 10-14-09!! Donating hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Hope that someone likes my curly hair as much as I do!
Mom to a curly-headed almost 2 year old!
Currently: No Poo, occasional Kathy Mack soap bars (LOVE them!), Deva products, L'Oreal Nutri Vive Pro Gloss, and honey.
Stylers: Curl Keeper (only works in winter), Deva gel, HESMU, and KCCC. And some other stuff that I don't remember now!!
my darling husband brought me home
"for medium to long hair thats normal to fine"
that also has amodimethicone
because I said "NOT for damaged hair"
It looks like the bottles had a new packaging, they're slightly more curved in at the top than the one I have now, but the ingredients look the same and it's still the one for curly/wavy hair. It's weird too because none of the other bottles for other hair types looked different.
It would make sense if they are changing the packaging and are awaiting the new style bottles.
Also, I wonder if they are resetting to make room for the new L'Oreal stuff, is it EverPure? I think that is supposed to be out everywhere in January.
Btw, I got the jar, but it smeels like pink Veet (you know, the chemical hair removal cream). It brings back BAD memories :thumbdown: I dare not to put that stuff on my head.
LowPOO; Creme of Nature shampoo
CO; L'Oreal Nutrigloss & AOGBP
Other; nettle tea once a week instead of CO, JCRR, JCAS
Stylers; KCCC, L'oreal studio line gel
Don't like; PVP, non-vegetable glycerine

I couldn't find it at either walgreens or cvs, but it turns out that drugstore.com carries it. I order from them all the time -they have great customer service. Looking at the ingredient list, I'm pretty sure it's the one without the cone. It's $4.99, plus there is currently a sale: buy one L'oreal product, get the 2nd for 1/2 off.
Here's the link, in case anyone is still looking for a place to buy it:

condish: CJ smoothing; CJ argan; CJ repair me; CJ curl rehab

summer/fall styling: CJ CCCC lite + CIAB + Curl Queen

I noticed that, too. I bought a regular bottle of the condish, and the small squeeze bottle, thinking that it would be more of a DT, but when I further scrutinized the ingredients, they are verbatim exactily the same! So you are just getting less!

Hmm...well that's cheap. But I did discover that you can water it down by up to half and it works just as well, so maybe that would be an option to help stretch the smaller bottle.

Unfortunately, I found out that I am protein sensitive. It was not moisturizing enough for my super dry Arizona curls so I am now trying AOHR.
I am glad it worked for so many of you, though.

If you need something more moisturizing and protein free, you might also like EO conditioner in Rose and Chamomile. It's one of my winter staples when I need more moisture.

After reading this thread, I decided to find the LPVNG the next time I needed to restock my conditioners. They didn't have the wavy/naturally curly at CVS, but I did find some at Kroger. I'm a little worried though, the w/nc shampoo is on closeout. So far, the conditioner isn't, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I don't know what I'd ever find that could replace this curly-hair miracle in a bottle!
This stuff detangles like a dream! My hair is soft, shiny, and yet the curls are so well-defined. I have boing-able curls! :blob3:
I haven't had boing-able curls since I was little! (My Mom gave up the fight one day and just cut it all off & kept it short for years. Even though I've grown it long since adulthood, it's never looked the same.)
Until Today! :iconbiggrin: Wow! I'm even pleased with the 2nd day hair.(...which never happens!)
The fragrance is a tad too floral for my tastes... somehow a cross between roses, bubble gum, & baby powder. But with results like these, I'm determined to get over it.
Thank you for starting this thread, BotticelliBabe. This is one product worth all the hooplah!
Not sure of hair-type...
Pre-CG - Frizzy stringy loose s-curls
CG- Forming some loops & coils - (recent) Halo o' frizz!
Co-Wash - Suave (tangerine)
Rinse-out - LVPNG :love10: or 50/50 Suave & Honey
Leave-in - a little more Suave
Gel - 50/50 aloe & Suave 8 gel (Ok, I use a LOT of Suave!) :laughing9:
Styling - Plopping & Pixie-Curling my way to Hair Happiness!
Dye is fine for CG. This conditioner, so long as it's the type for wavy/curly hair, is totally CG.

It isn't discontinued but it can be a bit tricky and frustrating to find the right bottle, especially since a lot of stores have had them on sale lately

I checked your list against my bottle and the only difference I found was the very last number F.I.L #D11203/2. I don't know what that number is so can't help you there. Otherwise the ingredients are exactly the same BUT in a very different order. Don't know if that helps you much though.
