Reddit mentions of TRESemme Conditioner, Naturals Nourishing Moisture 25 oz

I hope it helps! I know the pain all too well. I too abuse hot water. Not warm, hot, as hot as I can stand it until I turn into a lobster. I have learned that's a nono so if I want to scald my skin I wear a shower cap or at least pull my hair away to keep the hot water off.

So here is my shampoo and conditioner(erm, I don't know why it's $45 for a 2pack, you may need to try a different variety or vendor, should be about $6 each), very affordable and I am very happy with all aspects. Here is the leave in conditioner I use -- it is the only I have tried so no basis for comparison but I like it. I use about a dime size on my palm mixed with 4-5 drops of Argan oil then kind of rub my palms together to spread it out and run it very lightly through my hair (usually with my head upside down so it is easier to access the different parts). The key is to spread it lightly and evenly.

Also, I am a guy who always had short hair prior and didn't care about products etc. Well now I have shoulder length hair (it's fabulous!) and I can see how much trouble it is to have long beautiful locks! I had to relearn how to properly shampoo and condition, well more condition than shampoo. Just make sure you again spread the conditioners evenly (I even squeeze some excess water out with my hands so it is less runny) and let it sit for 2-3 minutes as I wash the rest of me.

All these tips have come from reading Reddit, I should add! So cheers to our community. The next trick I want to try is a satin wrap for my hair when I sleep, it is supposed to be great!

You might want to switch to the Natural version of the TRESemmé conditioner (on Amazon) - the normal version has silicones in it, which coat the hair shaft and can promote that oily feeling after the first day. It's also why the clarifying shampoo + deep conditioner didn't need dry shampoo - I'm betting the conditioner you used was silicone free.

There are Tresemme naturals shampoos that are low in sulfates/silicone free that have worked well for me and are still pretty cheap. This and this have been fine for me.

Start with No brushing. No shampoo. Avoid heat styling.
Use fingers or wide tooth comb when co-washing. My hair is pretty different from yours, but I just started using Tresseme naturals and it is really affordable, super moisturizing and has great slip (easy to detangle). It also is a great leave-in. Not as shiny as I would like, but doesn't look dirty and doesn't weigh down the curl, yet really tackles the frizz. I also used the As I Am coconut co-wash and liked it, but it isn't as moisturizing and it is no good as a leave-in. My hair is thick, coarse and goes to my mid/upper back and I use several pumps (5-6) when it is really wet as leave-in. I plop when wet because it is long, but might be good for you to plop/wrap in a microfiber towel to minimize movement while drying so it keeps the curls together?

Good luck!! Hope you find a combination that works!

The shampoo depends mostly on your scalp. If it’s normal and healthy, you can get away with using any shampoo. If you have a scalp issue like dryness, dandruff, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis…etc you’ll need to use a shampoo designed to tackle that particular issue.

[I have an extremely dry scalp (gross, I know) and I really like these two shampoos: 1 2 ]

​

My hair also hates protein (and coconut oil); here’s a list of products I found that don’t contain protein:

​

conditioners

Shea Moisture's Low porosity line

Avoado oil and Shea butter conditioner*

TRESemme Conditioner, Naturals Nourishing Moisture

The Body Shop's Banana Truly Nourishing Conditioner

The Body Shop's Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Conditioner

​

masks

Shea butter mask*

Argan Oil and Almond Milk

raw shea & cupuaçu

Omega 3, 6, 9

The Body Sop's Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Hair Mask

​

​

leave ins

Knot Today*

Weightless Moisture

Shea Soft & Smooth Creamy Hair Butter (this may be too heavy for your hair)

The leave in from shea moisture's low porosity line up above

​

* these are the only products I've tried from the whole list: not a huge fan of the conditioner bc it makes my hair a lil stringy; I REALLY like the mask; the leave-in is too heavy for my hair so I only use a small amount

​

Hope this helps 😆

If you have any questions let me know xx

They still have it on Amazon!

Love this idea! Maybe once we grow a bit more we can do more specific threads, too. This sub has been a wealth of information already, I love it.


Hair
Description: I have long curly hair. My goal is to keep it voluminous on top, and not-frizzy with defined loose corkscrews on the bottom. Similar Similar I do the "no-poo"/Curly Girl Method method which eliminates sulfates and silicones.


Tresemme Naturals Moisturizing Conditioner: I used to be a firm believer in using expensive hair care products exclusively. I used Redken for many years, then wandered into DevaCurl territory when I started No-Poo. Nothing was able to detangle, soften, and moisturize my hair just right, until THIS!


Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner I use this as a leave-in conditioner. Gels and mousse have worked similarly, but my husband hates the crunchy feel. This holds my curls, yet keeps them soft and touchable.


Skin
Description: I'm 25, used to tan, but after noticing a sun spot, I stopped! Since then, I've been focused on anti-aging and taking good care of my skin.


Biore Sunscreen SPF 50 this is the product that changed my life and stopped my skin from aging. Not greasy, no whitecast, sits well under makeup. I can't recommend Asian sunscreen enough, and this one is my favorite!


Perfume
Elizabeth and James Nirvana White "peony, chic muguet, and tender musk for a feminine scent with dark sophistication" so lovely. The first perfume my husband stopped to specifically comment on! Honorable mention to Nirvana Bourbon as well. In fact, has anyone here tried the Nirvana Rose? I'm interested but unfortunately don't have a way to smell it for free where I live!
