Big Bottles of Conditioner?

[umbrellabones]

Hello, I tried to search for a similar thread but if I missed it please redirect me. Anyways, I am hunting for some conditioner recommendations that come in BIG bottles (32oz or so). I have classic length hair and go through a lot of conditioner, but I dont love frequently buying the little (usually less than 16oz) bottles of conditioner that seems to be the most readily available size. I am not terribly picky with conditioner ingredients, I tend to prefer more natural and silicone free but I am not afraid of silicones and use them occasionally. Basically I am open to try anything that you are loving so long as it comes in XL! :)

I also just wanted to add I know salon stores, tj maxx, supermarkets etc. Sell conditioners in big bottles, but I am more looking for recommendations of brands that you have used and liked that come in those sizes since many of them are more expensive brands I'd love some positive reviews before spending the money :)

Where are you located? US?

Typically here in Belgium (EU), our conditioner bottles are 200ml, so it's terrible. I have classic length too. A bottle lasts me about 2 washes, that's it.

My Wal-Mart sells Suave conditioner in 30 oz bottles. I actually prefer smaller ones because they fit on my shower shelf better but they stopped selling them in the smaller size. I use it on my girls and will use it myself when I run out of mine. I'm not super picky about my conditioner either but it seems to work just fine and smells good.

Sally Beauty used to have large (I want to say gallon) size Salon Care conditioners. I never used them but heard good things...not sure if they still have them. My local Sally's changed what they stock. But it would follow that a store that sells to beauty shops would carry large sizes. Also, Ulta has larger bottles. You can find a variety of salon-size bottles at Ross, TJ Maxx, etc. but the brands vary.

I really like the Kallos hair masks, esp the coconut and the honey ones are fantastic for my hair (very thick TBL+, dry ends because of old dyes), in some supermarkets they are extra cheap at 2€ for 1l (about 2.20$ for 33,8+ oz).

Dunno if they are avaiable where you live, but for me those are better than way more expensive brands, and much better than popular conditioners like the hair food masks from Garnier.

At first I thought you were talking about your *chest* when I read "the girls", and I was wondering why on earth you would put conditioner there. Then I remind you have kids. Shame on me :rolling:

[Zesty]

Sally Beauty carries big bottles. I just bought the Generic Value Products (GVP) Conditioning Balm (dupe of Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm), which I highly recommend, in 33.8oz bottles. But they have others in that size too I think.

I found a 680ml bottle of HE the other day! They sold out and haven't come back yet though :(

OMG. That's amazing. Biggest containers I found so far was in the store called "Action" (discounter here) and it was 500ml bottles of Pantene Aqua Light shampoo and their clarifying shampoo. Also 300ml bottles, but they no longer sell those. It's like there one time, and when it's gone, it's gone!

Yes 2 brands come in bigger packaging here. Syoss conditioners (300ml), and Franck Provost conditioners (500ml). But that's it!

[littlestarface]

walmart,costco sell huge 33oz of them.

Yes, I'm in the US. Hopefully some of the coming recommendations will be things available where you live or maybe that will ship to you for a reasonable price :)

I will definitely have to check this out! I used to get the gvp conditioning balm all of the time and never even thought to look for a larger size, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all the tips so far, I also just wanted to add I know salon stores, tj maxx, supermarkets etc. Sell conditioners in big bottles, but I am more looking for recommendations of brands that you have used and liked that come in those sizes since many of them are more expensive brands I'd love some positive reviews before spending the money :)

Hmm, I'm in Canada, so things might be different. I know that Mane N' Tail comes in large bottles for $9 each. It can cause protein overload in some people though. I know you can get 400mL bottles (I think that's 13 Ounces?) of conditioners like Treseme. I don't know if that's big enough for you. It will be harder if you're cone free. Most cone free conditioners come in dinky bottles. I know the Live Clean can come in bigger bottles. I think about 700mL.

[Rowdy]

Target sells 30.4 oz bottles of Aussie moist conditioner for 5.99$, that's my current favorite.

[MusicalSpoons]

I want to say Tresemme, as they do 900ml bottles over here. I don't know that it's especially highly rated but decent enough for a cheap conditioner.

[FrayedFire]

I came to say this too. It's not bad and the bottles are too big for me to use one-handed. XD

[littlestarface]

I use the nexxus 33oz bottles my favorite imo, they leave my hair no tangles beautifully shiny and smells so good.

[blackgothicdoll]

I like Biolage Ultra Hydrasource, you can get a 33.3oz bottle for 16 bucks. Otherwise I'd recommend Tresseme.

I haven't used tresseme in YEARS, but I remember buying it when I first started my long hair journey. No idea if I liked in then or not but I'll have to give it another go after these recommendations and knowing it comes in bigger sizes!

I have never tried nexus and would love to try something new! Is there a particular formula or line nexus has that you prefer?

Thanks! I have a Costco membership so I'll definitely check it out next time I go.

Mother Nature's Goodies offer a 5-litre (169 oz) jug of their conditioner base (natural and silicone free). :D

I went to their website and that looks really cool! A neat idea that its unscented and you can customize it yourself if you want. And I like that if I love it I could really buy in bulk. I wasn't able to find a list of ingredients though, did I miss that somewhere? Just curious what's in it

Ah yes, I don't think they have the ingredients listed at their website. They used to have them in the eBay listing which was how I originally stumbled upon their product. I've got a jug at my mom's but I am currently at my flat and can't check them. I'll try to remember to take a photo when I visit her again next weekend and show you!

Thank you! I sent an email to the company asking if the can send it to me but if they don't get back to me before you go to your mom's that would be very helpful :)

[jenn14]

I love the Hempz conditioners. I buy them at ulta when they have their Liter sale for about $13. Lasts me quite awhile!

[Lucy McLucyFace]

I'd look for hair salon suppliers. We have some such stores around here and they sell huge bottles. Just make sure you can use the whole thing within a year of opening it

Huh, we get Syoss in 500ml here! It's the only large conditioner I found so far. :)

An idea for people struggling with storing too big bottles: you could pour it into an empty, smaller bottle or some type of a dispenser that you'll keep in the shower/on the bathroom shelf! We only do this with soap but it could work. :)

Walmart sells 32oz bottles of Herbal Essence Hello Hydration at a really reasonable price!

Aaargh, why. Why can't we get that here. :cry:

I have a stash of 200ml bottles in a big box left, but that's it. They no longer sell HE HH here anymore.

[GoddesJourney]

I use Garnier Fructis Pure Clean for CO days. It comes in huge bottles with a pump. No silicones. I use it by the handful.

[eresh]

The conditioner I use the most (Andrelon KokosBoost) is 300ml.
It lasts me quite a while though.
I only use it 1x in 7 days full length and I don't use a lot.
Sometimes instead of conditioner I use my fav masks (Andrelon Kokosboost 180ml, even this one lasts me a rather long time even though my hair is kneelength,
I don't soak my hair in it, just apply just enough on the whole length, there's really no need to drown your hair in conditioner or masks, there's only so much it can absorb...and The BodyShop Bananamask 240ml)

My second favorite conditioner (Love Beauty Planet) is 400ml.
But I really hate their bottles, hard to get stuff out.

All are silicone free

Yes, I know the feeling on your end :flower:
I don't know why they've stopped selling it in your country. I know you've told me you'd rather not order things online. Because, of the cost of delivery or shipping cost. I bet it would be very expensive for you :cry:
But the thing is that I hate about Walmart is you have to spend up to $35 to get free shipping, and I feel that suppose if I don't want to spend that amount of money to just get free shipping? I bet you do have 200ml bottles in a big box left, and that's it. I felt the same way when I noticed the old Vintage Pantene Pro-V Shampoo and Conditioner for Damaged hair, and also for Permed and Color-Treated hair was no longer on the market. Or, they've stop selling it in our country as well. But one day I saw at the end of last year that it was sold on eBay for a very expensive price! Like, $60 for the 32oz bottle, and I was like, "Why is it so expensive at eBay these days?" and, it's a very old product! I still have a 200ml bottle from 22 year ago of it just a little bit left, and that's it. :cry:
Today, I would really love to find that product at a reasonable price like the way they used to sell it here in the states.

Oh isn't it sad when products get discontinued or are no longer sold where you are. I so hate that!

I haven't seen those bottles of Pantene around here either, Dark.

Yes, it is sad when products get discontinued or are no longer sold where you are. I so hate that too! And, I didn't see anything wrong with that product. I thought they probably discontinued it or stopped selling it where I am. Because, either not too many people buying it. Or, maybe a lot of people were allergic to the scent. Because, not too long after the advintage brand they changed the whole scent during 1996, and I hated it! I liked the way it smelled when it first came out in 1991 or 1992!

I also bet that you haven't seen those bottles of Pantene around your way either, lapushka.
