![]() I recently decided to search for a new leave in condtioner. I was using Tresemme Naturals conditioner as my leave in for quite awhile. That conditioner has been amaznig as a leave in :) It provides excellent slip for detangling. It also leaves the hair moisturized when being used as a leave in or a rinse out conditioner. When used as a styler, it provides a nice hold without the crunch of a strong gel. So yeah, this stuff is awesome lol. So why was I looking for something else? The fragrance lol. I wanted a better scent left on my hair LOL . The tresemme doesn't smell bad at all but it doesn't leave my hair smelling fresh for very long either. So enter VO5 Strawberries and Cream moisture milks conditioner! I immediately knew that my hair would love this conditioner as a leave in when I was doing my normal twistout routine. when twisting my hair, it gave a nice slip and worked well with my aloe vera gel. When I removed my twists, my hair was shiny, soft, and smelled much better :) My twistout definition was "poppin" and the hold was awesome just like the Tresemme! I thought I had found my replacement leave in conditioner...until i started getting the itchies :( . Since I use "rinse out" conditioners as leave ins, I try to avoid getting a lot on my scalp because it can cause my scalp to itch. Even though I completely avoided my scalp each time when using the Vo5, my scalp still itched a lot. I tried using the Vo5 as a leave in several more times to make sure it wasn't a one time thing, and the same thing happened. (I went back to the Tresemme for the" final test," lol, and I did not have an itchy scalp...) Needless to say I was pretty bummed :( But I know that stopping the use of a product that clearly was going to cause problems if I left it in my hair as a leave in, was best. Besides, the Vo5 is a staple of mine for cowashing so all was not lost LOL. Remember to stick to techniques and products that WORK for your hair. It's fine to venture out and try new stuff...besides there's soo many tempting options out there... but just know that sometimes you hair will be like, "What is this? What happened to the tried and true products you were using? And how are you expecting me to act with this new stuff? LOL" If your hair catches an "attitude" with a product don't feel bad, your not alone! LOL So, it looks like the Tresemme Naturals Conditioner has won! I will continue using it as my leave in conditioner for the time being :)
I hope this helps!

The fragrance in the Vo5 is probably what made your scalp itch. I love that Strawberry conditioner but the fragrance is so strong, I just know there's a lot of fragrance in there. Fragrances are proprietary compounds. I like the Cream of Nature Leave In cream Conditioner. It's more expensive than Tresseme but the slip is amazing.

hey! isnt it fustrating trying to try new products?I try to use new products for my hair since its dry and it seems to still have problems.My mom thinks I should use something in the back for my hair to help it and im not sure what to use.I tried herbal essense conditioner and I think the tressmee does work better.I just hate having a product I dont really use feel wasted.What do you about products that you dont really like but you tried it out because you heard reviews but then it didnt work for your hair?I think some old stuff I used to use works on my hair alot but I heard it isnt good for your hair but I really wonder is it really bad or not?It's called hawaiin silky.What doyou think about products that people say are bad like that have petrolum oil,etc but it seems to work on your hair?Im not sure what's good for my hair and whats bad for my hair really because it still seems dry.

Your allergies could also be from a particular ingredient in the VO5 Moisture Milks conditioner called Red #4 aka Carmine aka Cochineal Extract which is crushed Cochineal Beetle to give the product it's pinkish color. This ingredient is in a lot of "natural" products including makeup, lotions, food, and hair products. Several VO5 conditioners have it. Burt's Bees use it in a lot of there makeup including lip glosses. Bath and Bodyworks started adding it to some of their new formulations. Nowadays, you have to look for "cruelty free" in addition to "natural".
