Hello ladies. Maybe my question is stupid but I still wanna know. I don't have the opportunity to buy a nice conditioner and the one I use is the best I could find in my country. I'll write everything it contains and I want to know - what do you all think? Is it okay to use it ? :(

behentrimonium chloride,
Panthenol
Hydrolized keratin,

I think it looks like a pretty good product.
I don't like parfum and isopropyl alcohol (the drying type of alcohol) much, but if your hair tolerates them, it's totally fine, especially since they are very low on the list.
There are lots of plant extracts in the product, and they can cause an irritation in some people, but if you didn't experience that, then great!
Also, there are lots of humectants (glycerin, panthenol, hydrolized proteins) in it, which is great in medium humidity but may feel drying in dry seasons.
If your hair likes it, I see no problems at all.

That looks like a better conditioner than I have. Conditioners with dimethicone, amodimethicone, and other similar non-water-soluable silicones can really cause me issues. I'm not a fan of benzyl alcohol or isopropanol either but I can usually tolerate them much better than stuff that builds up.

I'm with meteor, it looks like a good product, as far as my experience goes. I don't see oils, but the behentrimonium chloride is a powerful detangler. Do you use it for CW or regular S&C :)?

Thank you all! Feel better after riding the comments. :) And I use it for regular S&C.

It looks pretty good! :) I try to never buy anything with parabens in them though, but that's the only thing that's really standing out as not so great.

Yeah, parabens... but that's the best I could find so I can't do anything about that.. Whatever, thanks!

My hair can't handle a shampoo without taking me to frizz city. :thud: What brand of conditioner is that?

I'm only worried about parabens and keratin listed way up in the list. If your hair's good with proteins it's ok. Protein buildup might make hair feel dry and brittle.

Hello! I was hoping that someone would take a look at the ingredients in the deep conditioner I was thinking of buying. It's the h'suan wen hua from lush. Yeah... I'm aware that it's not great since it has sls in it but just how bad is it? Since it has lots of oils in it I was thinking of using it as some sort of sealant after using a water based conditioner. Take a look...

List of ingredients
Fresh Bay Leaf Infusion
Fresh Watercress Infusion
Fresh Organic Free Range Eggs
Cetearyl Alcohol
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Fresh Avocado
Fresh Organic Bananas
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Lanolin
Rosemary Oil
Cinnamon Leaf Oil
Soya Lecithin
Cinnamyl Alcohol*
Cinnamal*
Eugenol*
Benzyl Benzoate*
Limonene*
Linalool*
Perfume
Methylparaben
Propylparaben

sl(e)s in a conditioner? Now that's overkill, IMO. I wouldn't go there!
