HGKWW ::: The War Against Dry Hair: The Right Conditioner

In an earlier post, I mentioned that not all conditioners are equal. Nor are they all designed to do the same things for your hair.

I stress the importance of moisturizing the hair all of the time. But if there is one more thing that can fight off the dreaded dry hair dilemma...it's conditioning conditioning conditioning.

But! The right conditioner.

Some conditioners are meant to rebuild the protein in your hair. What we need right now is to replenish the moisture content of our hair.

Here are a few of my fav go-to moisturizing conditioners (& as usual, they are on the easy-on-the-pocket end):

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration
*Herbal Essences Replenishing Conditioner
*ORS Replenishing Pak (word on the street is it comes in bottles now!!!)
Suave Humectant
Suave Almond & Shea Butter
*Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask
*Dove Intense Moisture
*Creme of Nature Nourishing Conditioner

*Try these conditioners when doing a deep condition. Deep conditioning for AT LEAST 15-20 minutes (& under a hooded dryer, if you can) is a must. I usually shoot for 30-45, especially in the absence of a dryer.

Of course, these are only conditioners I've tried. There are TONS more to try. What ingredients should you look for?
ONE. Water
TWO. Fats (fatty alcohols)
THREE. Humectants/Emollients
