But no matter what a conditioner promises to do to my hair and how strong and bouncy they promise my hair will feel, nothing has made my hair feel its best more than Devacurl One Condition.

My hair is always manageable and soft when I use it on my hair . Whatever tangles I have are instantly melted away once I use the One Condition.

Here are the other conditioners that I’ve bought in the past couple of weeks and my thoughts:

Water/Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride Glycerin, Amodimethicone, Cetyl Esters, Lanolin, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Cetrimonium Chloride, Tricontanyl PVP, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate-20, Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) Fruit, Algae Extract/Algae, Safe Leaf Extract/Salvia Officinalis, Pollen Extract, Saponaria Officinalis Extract/Saponaria Officinalis, Silk Amino Acids, Wheat Germ Oil/Triticum Vulgare, Lemongrass Extract/Cymbopogon Schoenanthus

Biolage Ultra Hydrating Balm. Eh, I thought it was okay. I think I wanted it to have the same moisturizing effect as the Deva Curl One Condition, but it didn’t quite do it for me. It was moisturizing, but it wasn’t something that I’m going to run out and buy again when I’m low.

Aqua/Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, PEG-180, Amodimethicone, Cetyl Esters, Parfum/Fragrance, Glycerin, Methylparaben, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Olea Europaea Oil/Olive Fruit Oil, Trideceth-6, Citric Acid, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Coumarin, Safflower Glucoside, Royal Jelly/Royal Jelly Extract, CI 19140/Yellow 5, CI 15985/Yellow 6

L’Oreal Vive Pro Hydra Gloss Conditioner.  The big sell for me on this conditioner was the fact that it was pretty cheap at $2.99 at Ulta, and I heard the Royal Jelly is supposedly very beneficial to your hair.  However, look at the ingredients and you see that the royal jelly is at the bottom.  I mean, toward the Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 ingredients.   It wasn’t bad, per se, but I wasn’t completely sold.  This might be good for a co-wash.

Miss Key 10 en 1 Super Conditioner.    This conditioner required that I order it online and I hate ordering products online, because…I’m that impatient.  However, I’ve been using Dominican products more and more, starting with Lacio Lacio Leave-In and I’ve heard such good things about Miss Key.  I haven’t tried it yet, I’m going to wait until the end of this week before I do so.

Linoleamidopropyl PG Dimonium, Chloride Phosphate, Tallowtrimonium Chloride, Nonoxynol 10, Cocoyl Sarcosine, Sorbitol, Fragrance, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

And last, but not least, AphogeeKeratin 2 Minute Reconstructer.  Ah yes, a protein-based conditioner.  I knew I needed to work one into my routine and I heard so many good things about Aphogee.  Overall I like it.  My hair was soft and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.   I think I will be using this every other week or so.
