Rohele: It sounds a bit like you have the same kind of hair as me. I did CO for a while with burts bees super shiny conditioner (without cones) and it worked fairly well, at least a lot better that shampoo - condish. I still felt that the hair was a little bit too dry. Now I am experimenting with soap (like poo bars but more accessible to me) and ACV rinces. Now a little bit of jojoba oil on the ends when wet is enough. I think that some more experimenting is the way to go for you, there is no way to know what will work until you try. I also know that some people find that they need two condishoners for CO, a light cleaning one and a heavy moisturising one. On the economy side, the cleaning condishoner can be dirt cheap, and you can use the moisturising one as ordinary condishioner thus using less.
