    She does have beautiful hair.

    I know that conditioner depends. One of my best friends has thick 2b/2c hair that is often as long as hip and she hates conditioner with a passion.

    Linnea, Enrapture thank you so much for taking your time for this! I really apreciate it (and I'm sure other members do so too).

    Chen bao jun thats awesome you're studying it! Good luck with it, it seems like a beautiful language.

    Rosetta I was surprised too, her hair has a cone-like shine. I have coarse hair and my hair is fine without conditioner but the ends will get dry fast. CO makes it greasy but it works so well for other people. Every head of hair is so different from the next, it's fun to experiment and find a routine that works for yourself!

    No worries Linnea, I totally got what you said. Here we don't have extreme cold winters but we have humidity! So oils are a must if you don't want to sport a beautiful afro
    LoL I remember an english teacher with tight curly hair I had at school, you could tell how the weather was outside just looking at her hair! She hated rainy days, her hair would get all puffy. I miss her!
    It's so interesting all the things we learn from members around the world, it's one of my favourite things about LHC <3

    About conditioning... this YouTuber did say that she suffers from dry hair and uses shampoos like Natura Siberica "intensive moisturizing" (with sea buckthorn) that she says she wouldn't recommend to people who don't suffer from dryness. Such shampoos are really conditioning and could qualify as 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner products. Also, she uses quite a lot of oils (both pre-poo and leave-in), so I can sort of understand if she's not using conditioners.

    Also, from what I remember, conditioners were just not that popular in Russia before the 1990s and, I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but I know quite a few Russians who are into everything "natural" and are scared of using "chemical-laden" conditioners and although I disagree with that idea, I accept that there are obviously there are a million different ways of growing hair long, with or without conditioner. The key is just not to cut it!

    Here is another Russian-speaking "rapunzel" (Alla Perkova, longest hair in Odessa) who never uses conditioners or even oils, just baby shampoo and she even mentioned that she lightens hair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UStT5fP_VXQ

    This Russian hair YouTuber (Elizaveta Rapunzel) uses only soapnuts (aritha/reetha), oils, egg yolk, 2% Sulsena paste (anti-fungal for dandruff, which is an alcohol-based selenium sulfide treatment, which she uses as conditioner!!), and again, she uses no conditioner... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQP_hAcNQ68

    I don't know, I think hair can be pretty resilient, and skipping conditioner is quite doable on some hair types. (I used to commit this hair sin all the time, too )

    Good finds meteor! I love how Alla Perkova is wearing her hair during the interview, it must be pretty resilient to handle lightening without conditioning
    And looking at Elizaveta... just...

    The products that she mentioned - Natura Siberica - are really good, I love that line. I have used some of those products and own a shampoo for dry and damaged hair right now. I think they are quite organic, if not fully. I can't imagine not using conditioner though even with such mild shampoo, but to each their own and her routine is obviously working for her.

    Yes, of course, I forgot to say that yesterday, thanks to the translators!

    Yeah, going back to the conditioner thing, of course her routine seems to work for her; but I'm just not sure what harm a conditioner could do, to me it can only help... (As some of you said there are people who hate conditioners with passion.) I can totally understand skipping the shampoo (as in CO'ing), but not conditioner! I don't think I've never done that, since childhood (and it wasn't my choice then, obviously)...

    And after hearing all this praise, I want to try that Natura Siberica shampoo!

    I use burdock root oil, it's traditionally Russian /Ukrainian. I'm interested in this Natura Siberica too, although it's a shampoo it's not SLS, and has interesting herbs.

    I have been interested in the grandma agafiya products too but don't think they are all natural

    I think i used nourishing shampoo for dry hair from natura siberica and i found it quiet harsh. I think this might depend on water quality too. I had two and none of them seemed very gentle to me, which is too bad, because they aren't expensive at all here, compared to most other brands.
