Let me know if I have missed something!

[Celebrian]

Yes, the Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner is 'cone free - in UK only.

Oh, by the same token the Aussie Mega you have listed does have 'cones - here in the UK. Why can't they agree on universal formula's!! :mad:

[Rzilynt]

Thanks for putting this together. This should be a sticky as a reference.

RZ~

[Patrycja]

Man,I just labeled all my conditioners if they had cones or not and I labeled the Sauve Strawberry one wrong.I've always thought it was a cone.

If I am wrong let me know!

[CrowningGlory]

JASON Biotin and JASON Lavender Conditioner have cones. Well mine do anyway. I know somtimes products that are sold in the US have different ingredients to those sold in Australia and NZ but I think I've seen on other hair forums that JASON conditioners have cones so it doesn't sound like it's just downunder this time.

[Nat242]

Also the Pears line of products (available in Australia, supermarkets and Priceline).

Great list! Thanks for compiling it. Off to rate this thread!

[jojo]

thank you so much for going to the trouble of writing that huge list, thats what i call community spirit!

mods please can this be made a sticky!

[amaiaisabella]

Does V05 Moisture Milks Passionfruit Smoothie have cones? I don't know what to look for.

Can you CO with a cone conditioner?

[Patrycja]

That particular conditioner isn't a cone.I would explain what is a cone or noncone when looking at the ingrediants,but truefully-I'm still learning myself :) .

Some people do CO with cones,it all depends on your own hair.Try it with a noncone for the first C and for the second C,use a cone conditioner.That's just a suggestion.

I don't understand. What do you mean, the second C? Should you not use the same conditioner every time you CO? Or do you mean using two conditioners when you CO? I just slathered it on, scrubbed in, and covered in a cap for a while before rinsing. Am I not doing it right? :confused:

[Patrycja]

There are several different ways on doing a CO.The only one I have ever done is a lighter weight C left on for 20-30 minutes,covered with a shower cap or baggie.Scrub and rinse.Then,a heavier C for the finish.Don't leave that on for nearly as long as the first C.Again-this is the way I do it.I also oil when drying.

[amaiaisabella]

Oh I see. Thank you for the explanation. The second conditioner, do you just put it in and rinse out quickly as in the traditional usage?

I am concerned it would weigh down my fine hair though. I just did one round of conditioner last night and it's pretty soft, though I did put jojoba oil on it after.

[Delenn]

I just use one conditioner. If using one works for you then I wouldn't worry about it!

[amaiaisabella]

Delenn do you just do one round, or after the big rinse do you do a second quick application? I was able to find the original article on CO and it doesn't mention a second round, just putting it in for a long time and then rinse.

[Neon Gloss]

Ooh thank you for the list!

Could somebody please pick out a few from the list that are protein-free and possibly even available in canada? =)

I use africa's best botanical conditioner (yay wal-mart!), which I THINK is cone free... I can't find anything ending in -cone, but I'm also too lazy to hunt down the cones with the different endings. It also definitely doesn't leave any sort of siliconey effect on my hair.. and it smells like fresh green apples.

[TheSpottedCow]

All of Burt's Bee's conditioners are cone free, including the DT's.

[lora410]

Just an FYI my avalon biotin B-complex (and all their condishes) have cones in them :( i found this out when my ends tangle and I then looked at the bottle.

[sibilum]

Most Klorane (french natural hair care line) products don't have silicone. I haven't checked all their products, but the ones I've seen don't have silicones. Also, most shampoos have sodium laureth sulfate, a milder detergent.

Edit to add: some of their detanglers DO have cones, others don't.

[lora410]

doesn't tigi moisutre maniac also have cones? I could have sworn I saw cones it when I looked at its ingrediants list this past friday.

[ruby_tuesday]

Let me know if I have missed something!

Maybe Im blind, but I think you missed Urtekram. All of their shampoos & conditioners are silicone free and contain only plant based ingredients. They're certified organic as well. :)

[musicmomma]

thanks so much!!!

[MadHatter]

Has Suave Milk and Honey been discontinued?

[Patrycja]

Has Suave Milk and Honey been discontinued?

Good question.I love that smell and it seems to me that they replaced it with the Toasted Sugar and Vanilla when they created that scent.I haven't seen Milk and Honey out for quite sometime.I could just be missing it in all the stores I haunt looking for conditioners....

Let me know if you find it.Even online,I'll pay the shipping costs.I love that smell that much...:cloud9:

ETA-the Sauve conditioner listed as Lavender,is that the same one as Lavender and Liliac? I haven't seen a just laverder around here.

[MadHatter]

I went to walmart, walgreens, and HEB looking for the stuff. Didn't find it anywhere :(
Sucks, because I really wanted to try it. I have some milk and honey hand soap that smells divine, so I'd love to have that scent for my hair.

[SaraMatty]

I swear I saw the milk & honey suave at target a few weeks ago. Around here they only stock four or five of the suave and v05 ones in target and walmart. I've had better luck at CVS and random grocery stores for the more "exotic" suave stuff. Dollar stores have also had a surprisingly good selection of the suave/v05 cheapies, maybe the milk & honey is hiding there. I'm finding it harder to find all the scents in one place since they changed the bottles.

Ah, okay. I'll try target and the dollar stores around here.

[pariate]

For the record - if anyone looking for a cone free conditioner is also on a sulfate-free program, perhaps they should avoid Lush conditioners. They ALL contain sulfates!

[pariate]

According to this site http://www.naturesparlour.co.uk/Organic-Sea-Kelp-Conditioner-480ml-p-113.html the Jasons Kelp conditioner contains cones - Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone

[TheHuman]

I was just going to write that Pariate. I looked at three or four of the J/A/S/O/N conditioners today, and all the ones I looked at had Dimethicone in them. I know for sure I saw the Aloe and Apricot. I can't recall the other ones I looked at though.

[intothemist1999]

I believe the new (here) Down Under Naturals called "Nude" is cone-free.

[ljkforu]

Just tried V05 Vanilla Mint Tea (cone free). Works great smells delicious.

[maluszek]

Alberto Balsam Sun Kissed Raspberry conditioner with cones?
I got this conditioner in Boots (UK & Ireland chain of health & beauty shops). Some of ingredients:
cyclomethicone, dimethylamine, methylisothiazolinone....
I think European hair products differ a lot from American products... Such a pity, it makes all the cooperation harder ;(

I'm in the US and my bottle says Canada as the parent company and US as manufacturer. All the bottles of V05 on the shelf showed no cones.

[ljkforu]

Oh I see. Thank you for the explanation. The second conditioner, do you just put it in and rinse out quickly as in the traditional usage?

I am concerned it would weigh down my fine hair though. I just did one round of conditioner last night and it's pretty soft, though I did put jojoba oil on it after.
I just tried cone free V05 and it made my hair look 50% thicker. I was shocked at the immediate change in appearance.

[ClareDee]

I was just going to write that Pariate. I looked at three or four of the J/A/S/O/N conditioners today, and all the ones I looked at had Dimethicone in them. I know for sure I saw the Aloe and Apricot. I can't recall the other ones I looked at though.

I'd believe it. I just noticed today that JASON Vitamin E with A & C Conditioner does have cones.
I feel sorta stupid, because I bought it purely to try a "good quality" no-cone conditioner, and I obviously didn't read the label properly beforehand - Dimethicone appears toward the bottom of a long list :rolleyes: It also cost me 8.50 euro...

Personally, I haven't been very impressed with it. My hair is really unshiny after using it... just looks dull. I was rationalising this, telling myself "this must be how hair looks when it's getting healthy! The dull transition stage!"
Bah!! I'm going straight back to Original Source!:cool:

[Garnett]

Another cone-free is Salle, made by Belvedere Intl. Inc.

[ljkforu]

According to this site http://www.naturesparlour.co.uk/Organic-Sea-Kelp-Conditioner-480ml-p-113.html the Jasons Kelp conditioner contains cones - Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone
I went at looked at the Jason products here in Oregon US and they all had cones.

[Carina]

Oh I so love this list/thread.I have just bought five different kinds of Aubrey organics conditioners.Don't now which one to try first.LoL:o:D:p.

[Margeaux]

For Dutchies:

Wonderwel is a -conefree, SLS-free conditioner brand that's only available in the Netherlands. Could you add this one to your list? It's taken me ages to find a -conefree conditioner here so I'm willing to spare other Dutchies the time. Thanks!

[neon-dream]

Does anyone know the names of the cones not ending in 'one' so i know what to look out for?
This would be a great help :)

[Roseate]

Here's (http://healthycurls.awardspace.com/cones.html) a link with a list of cones (scroll down a bit)- I think it's missing a few, but it's a start. The ones that don't end in "cone" usually end in "conol" or "xane".

[Sissy]

Freeman Seakelp Moisture Conditioner
The ingredients are:
Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera), Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract (Sea Kelp), Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil (Macadamia Nut), Panthenol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Stearalkonium Chloride, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, PEG 75 Lanolin, DMDM Hydantoin, Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Limonene, Linalool, Fragrance (Parfum)

* This is cone free to the best of my knowledge.

[Lutya]

I just did a search for this Freeman Sea Kelp Moisture Conditioner and I'm so confused because I bought this today and mine has slightly different ingredients. I'm guessing they reformulated it because it says "NEW" on it. It still says "Sea Kelp Ultra Nourishing Moisture Conditioner" but the ingredients differ from what is shown on drugstore.com and what you posted above. They took out the Macadamia Nut Oil and put in Guava Fruit Extract and Honeysuckle. Here is what is on my bottle (still no cones!):

Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract (Sea Kelp), Psidium Guajava (Guava Fruit Extract), Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle), Panthenol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Stearalkonium Chloride, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, PEG 75 Lanolin, DMDM Hydantoin, Propylene Glycol, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Limonene, Linalool, Fragrance (Parfum)

[Copasetic]

Live Clean conditioners are 'cone free, and they smell really nice. I get lots of compliments when I use them.

[Fractalsofhair]

Alaffia is cone free as far as I know. Herbal Infusion of Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), African Wild Honey, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Vegetable Emulsifying Wax, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Potassium Sorbate, Essential Oils of Sweet Orange and Ylang Ylang, Limonene (from essential oil), Citric Acid Those are the ingredients for the Shea and Honey conditioner.

[ljkforu]

I'm really cheap so I hate to admit this but all of the conditioners from Natures Gate seem to be superior to the V05 conditioners. All conefree, but boy does the Natures Gate give have volume and condition. I really wanted the 1.19 one to be better than the 7.79 one but no such luck.

Oh, I still use them all though. I just notice that when I use Nature's Gate there is a positive difference.

[Fractalsofhair]

I agree about the Nature's Gate. My whole foods had it on sale for about $3 once, and I got a bottle. It was nice, but the fragrance bothered me a lot.(I'm extremely sensitive to artificial fragrances) It did smell nice and was fairly subtle, just I have reactions to most artificial fragrances.

[hennaphile]

Alaffia

Trader Joe's stuff (I don't recomend it though)

Natural Innovations MSM conditioner

[SleepySin]

Just an FYI my avalon biotin B-complex (and all their condishes) have cones in them :( i found this out when my ends tangle and I then looked at the bottle.

Yep, my Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Thickening Conditioner has dimethicone too. Cross it off the list? :rolleyes:

[Longhairpixie]

moonchaser
Thank you very much!

[hockeygirl256]

This is an excellent list, and so much to choose from! I'm definitely going to give a few a test spin ;)

[neon-dream]

The Enliven range in the UK don't have cones :)

[nowxisxforever]

Another thing for the list, I found this locally:

Sonoma Soap Company (First Crush conditioner):

"FIRST CRUSH – Savor the 100% natural aroma of freshly crushed certified organic grape seed, red raspberry and green apple extracts.

Ingredients: Water, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sorbitol, Triticum, Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Tocopherol (Vit. E), Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Panthenyl Triacetate, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Bisabolol, Panthenol, Citric Acid, Honey Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, NaturalAroma Blend™"

So it does apparently have a sulfate, but no cones.

http://sonomasoapcompany.com/

[Flynn]

Adding:

[Alchemy] -- all of them, as far as I know.
Grahams Natural Conditioner

[Elphie]

Suave's Wild Cherry Blossom could be added to the list.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Potassium Chloride, Distearyldimonium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1, 3-Diol, Tocopheryl Acetate [Vitamin E Acetate], Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolin

[amaiaisabella]

LUSH's Jungle conditioner doesn't have cones, but it does have SLS for those who wish to avoid it. None of their hair conditioners (or shampoos, I think) have cones, but most, if not all, do have SLS. Jungle is the best of the conditioners, IMO :)

[SimplyViki]

Oh! Heh, maybe I should have posted here instead of making a thread. Ulta has a cone-free conditioner, as well.
It's called Ultimate Volume Conditioner. It does have panthenol, but it's cone free, so... maybe it should be added to the list?
Here's (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=30821) my post on it. (Haven't tried it myself, though).

[templeofvenus]

the naked range www.nakedbodycare.co.uk (http://www.nakedbodycare.co.uk) don't have cones in many of the conditioners, I use the sensitive one there arent any cones in it.

[hevnn]

how about john masters citrus and neroli detangler..... is any of this a cone?

OK, I think it's all updated. Let me know if I missed any that should be removed because they now have 'cones. :flower:

[merseaone]

Check online. Whenever something I love disappears I either look up the company or google the product name. It is rarely that I haven't found what I wanted.

[merseaone]

By the way, what is a cone? (Why do I get the feeling I am going to feel real stupid when I see the answer?) LOL

[Aeon F.]

By the way, what is a cone? (Why do I get the feeling I am going to feel real stupid when I see the answer?) LOL


Merseaone, cone is short for Silicone and also shorthand for all the lotsa different types of sillicones out there- like Amodimethicone, Dimethicone, Cyclopenthasiloxane, etc.

There's a really great tLHC article all about cones that has a great reference list of them at the end- and which cones are water soluble or not. I find it very handy! Lemme get it for you...


http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=13


Hope that helps! :D

[merseaone]

Wow... okay.

[Aeon F.]

Yeah, it's kind of a jammed-packed article! Loads of info. LOL I've bookmarked it for the reference list at the bottom, I use it to quickly double check ingredients on new products I'm interested in- since I can never remember which cones are water soluble or not. Names are too bloody long to memorize! :laugh:

Apparently they're in some major US drugstores. :bigeyes: I'll have to check that out.

[dawnss]

Thank you so much for this list, I am a huge fan of using Vo5 for cowashes!!!!!!!!!!

[missfortune9335]

I've read several places that Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner is cone free, but I was reading my label today and it says it has dimethicone in it. Isn't that a silicone?

[Flaxen]

It sure is. It's probably been reformulated. Happens all the time. Off the list it goes!

[Aditi]

Whoa!!!!:disbelief Biolage conditioners are cone free?? and all this time is was considering them cones condish, thank you so much for this thread i know you spent lot of time and energy on this :)

[Fractalsofhair]

Just felt like adding Whole Foods 365, all scents.

[missfortune9335]

not all biolage conditioners are cone free, I have a strengthening conditioner by biolage and it has cones listed in the ingredients

[ericthegreat]

This may have already been listed before, but I'll say it again. I love all versions of Suave Naturals! Suave is very affordable, and also its conditioners are quite moisturizing so they really give you the most out you your money. My particular favorite is Suave's Tropical Coconut.

[curls2grow]

Just felt like adding Whole Foods 365, all scents.Do you find a particular formula of the WF 365 conditioners to be more moisturizing than another? I tried the lavender -- I loved the scent, but I swear it made me very sleepy. Not a good thing when the drowsies would hit me at work. Every morning.

[LaurenH]

Thanks so much for taking the time to put this list together! :) It's been very helpful! :blossom:

[Flynn]

May I add one more? All the Melrose Health conditioners are, to the best of my knowledge, cone-free. (The everyday base, the hemp range and the botanicals range definitely are.)

[Fractalsofhair]

I'm currently just using the unscented kind, and I can say it's more moisturizing than the cirtus, but not as much as my Alaffia. It's decent though, esp on my newly (less dry!) hair.

[bunnikins]

I live in South Africa and VO5 body has cones for sure. Will go buy groceries today will check out the rest but I am sure they all contain cones here :( And wanted to add! Very important! Bead Head Oatmeal and honey doesn't contain cones but it contains coumarin which is toxic and carcinogenic!

[Ally<3]

For the record - if anyone looking for a cone free conditioner is also on a sulfate-free program, perhaps they should avoid Lush conditioners. They ALL contain sulfates!

I noticed that! Isn't that ridiculous!!!

[Almeda]

Correct !

The solid one (jungle) hasn't any parabens in it.
American Cream too.

[may1em]

The new Garnier Fructis triple nutrition conditioner (and deep treatment) are cone-free.

[Willheit]

Wow! I can't believe what a huge help this list is. I was soo not looking forward to standing in the shampoo isle for hours on end reading labels. Thank you so much!

[ancilla]

I love this conditioner!! It makes my hair so smooth and shiny!

[maegquare]

Thank you for this list. I've been using Suave Naturals for a long time, and am just finishing a bottle of Vo5 Kiwi Lime now. These have always worked well for me, and I didn't even know anything about 'cones until a few months ago. Glad to know I was doing something right in all my years of ignorance. ;) I'm also very sensitive to fragrances in many products and Suave has never bothered me.

[MirandaWelch]

The new Garnier Fructis triple nutrition conditioner (and deep treatment) are cone-free.
Was just coming to say that. Picked up a bottle today. It has three different oils in it, I'm looking forward to trying it.

[clairenewcastle]

Just thought I'd mention though that it contains mineral oils which can be drying on hair.
Good luck on finding something that works for you Miranda.

[GlassEyes]

I use the Tripe nutrition deep treatment, and it's awesome!

Mineral oil isn't necessarily drying--it can just sometimes be difficult to remove. :shrug: My hair likes it just fine.

[rachelnevada]

I noticed V05 Extra Body conditioner that was mentioned has collagen in it for "bounce". Does this affect CO washing at all? I searched the forums for anything on the negative affects of collagen and couldn't find anything.

Maybe I'm making it up, but I just don't want to risk getting the greasies!

Suave is very affordable, and also its conditioners are quite moisturizing so they really give you the most out you your money. My particular favorite is Suave's Tropical Coconut. I bought this yesterday to use in rinsing out my henna and I have to say I'm extremely impressed! And a BIG bottle was under $2 :cool:

Um, so, cones are bad, sls is bad, protein is bad. Which is worse? I need to wash my hair, and when I did try organic shampoos, even castile soap, or just egg yolks, they just won`t do the job. I know it sounds stupid but I am so confused, the more I learn about the more I freak out... can someone explain in plain language which is the less worse? and why? I need to wash my hair this weekend, it`s greasy! :)

Depends on your hair "type". Cones can build up and lead to a greasy look over time, but also provide protection to many people's hair. SLS is drying. Try diluting it. Protein is good if you have damaged hair, but can make hair feel dry otherwise. Try SLS if it's what you have, with a cone free conditioner. If your hair needs the cones for protection, then use SLS occasionally, with Castile soap as your regular shampoo(or another mild cleasner). If your hair does not, either use SLS diluted, or a gentler cleanser.

[GlassEyes]

So, er, I read on NC somewhere that some of the HE bottles have been reformulated, and are now cone free--specifically hello hydration and color me up. There was an ingredients list, old and new, put up for the latter. Anyone care to try and confirm this? I might take a look at CVS tomorrow out of curiosity, even though I'm currently using cones.

Oh my! I so wish it would be true! :bigeyes: HE is sold around here, but I guess until the new formula reaches here...going to take a while. :rolleyes:

[Madonna-Fan]

I didn´t look if they are already named, but they are also cone-less:

- Every conditioner of Alverde
- Sante Brilliant Care
- Every conditioner of Urtekram
- Every conditioner ob Aubrey Organics

[Xepher]

I recently got myself a bottle of Suave's Tropical Coconut conditioner, and I think it has cones :/ There are two Methyl-something ingredients that end with 'one', so...

[theshadowpuppet]

Xepher, I believe those are just preservatives. There's no cones in the Suave naturals line, anyway. :]

I have tried searching this forum in hope of finding some thread or article that talks about sulfates and cones and explain them in plain language, but aside from some comments and the sulfate free shampoo list didn`t find much. I know there must be something around here, but this forum is so huge I get lost...
I want to ask a veteran... can someone please direct me towards a more extensive debate on the theme? Various threads that can perhaps provide more information? I do not have the patience and time to read every single post, but I would rather read information from here rather than wiki it... because of your own knowledge and experience.
so... where can I find information on sls? names, other names it goes under? more talk on it, as that article was so poor, it left me hanging... same goes for cones, protein and other stuff I am not aware of?

Thank you

[curlylocks85]

Mane and Tail conditioner has no cones.

[bedazzlecat]

I would like to report that the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shiny conditioner that I bought most recently (last week) no longer has cones. I kept looking, they aren't there anymore! I know that it use to. According to the reviews, there have been issues with this conditioner.

It is actually working really well for my hair, and perhaps this is because of the hard water environment I'm in. (?) Maybe next time I'll try the 3-oil, but right now, this is just what I needed. And I've noticed a difference between the results I get now and the results I use to get. Use to be, it would end up dry, tangle-y, and crunchy as cones usually end up doing to me. (I have always loved the shampoo, which is why I even bothered with another look.)

Just passing the info on. :o

[grrlshapedthing]

I'm having a hard time telling if there are any cones in this conditioner??

[Jane of Upton]

Hi,

I just started doing CO washes (so far w/ Very good results). First, THANK YOU for making this list! This has been very helpful, and I've been reading LOTS of labels, too!

I picked up some Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut (its on the list) but am dubious about the following ingredients in the ingredient list. Someone a page back mentioned it, but the answer wasn't definitive. The ingredients do end in -one, but not 'cone, so I'm confused:

Methylchloroisothiazolinone
Methylisothiazolinone

Those two are in the middle of the ingredient list. My guess is that they are very similar (one has a chloro- group inserted into it) so that they don't appear sooner in the list (if the manufacturer used only one compound in greater quantity, it would be higher in the ingredient list).

These look like 'cones to me, but this is one of the most-used CO conditioners. Your thoughts?



Also, I picked up some

Bio-Infusion Professional Rosemary Mint Conditioner.
They were on sale @ Walgreens this week, buy one, get one free = 2 for $8, still not cheap, but I've loved all their products so far, and will probably use their shampoo on occasion if I get buildup from CO washing.

Anyhow, here's the ingredient list. It looks Cone-Free to me, but I'm pretty new to this, so if someone could double-check, I'd appreciate it.

Deionized Water (Aqua), Rosemarius Officianalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Chloride, Polyquaternium 11, Olealkonium Chloride, Peppermint (Mentha Piperia) Oil, Panthenol, Glycerin, Jajoba <sic> (Buxus Chinensis) Oil, Wheat Amino Acid, Tocopherol, Grapefruit (Citrus Grandis) Seed Extract, Diazolidinyl Urea, Quaternium 22.

Many, Many Thanks!
-Jane

[Kaijah]

Methylchloroisothiazolinone
Methylisothiazolinone


Those are both preservatives. :) Cones mostly all end in 'cone, 'conol or 'xane.

The Bio-Infusion condish is cone free as well.

ETA: If you find yourself wondering about any other ingredient, the list at http://tightlycurly.com/Ingredients.aspx is pretty comprehensive.

[summerjade]

Thank you for this list!! I will print it off and use it when I buy products!! Thank you so much for your time compiling this information for us.

[Kumiko033]

I don't really know any good conditioners without cones except for the LUSH, their's are great, so natural and smell great plus you only need a tiny bit even on thick hair.

But most drugstore conditioners I've tried still contain dimethicone which I don't really mind once in a while since it's probably the lightest cone.

[Jane of Upton]

Thanks for the link, Kaijah!

I've just hit page 42 of the CO thread, and read some more about these two preservatives. Yikers! Nasty stuff!

And good heavens! I've been swearing my ears feel swollen, and the tissue feels weird and scaley. Also, while cooking last night, I got a bit of juice from the meat I was going to cook on my arm (usually no biggie) but had an area of hives rise nearly immediately. Its been a good 10+ years since I've gotten anything hive like.

Now, I read that EACH (Both?) of these conditioners are deemed:

"•Sensitizer - can instigate immune system response that can include itching, burning, scaling, hives, and blistering of skin

•Distinction between safe conc in leave-on and rinse-off products"



And, the METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE is suspected to have nerve toxicity, too.

Oh Yum, and this has a double-whammy since they're both in there. And here I was thinking I've developed an allergy to some food ingredient. I now suspect this new conditioner I was all excited to be using.

-Jane

[Jane of Upton]

Hi all,

so I'm back with more questions. My hair did NOT like the Bio-Infusion Professional Rosemary Mint Conditioner. I think it was the wheat-derived protein. Even when shampoo & conditioning, my hair always felt stiff and tacky with heavy protein conditioners.

Is there anywhere that the No-Cones and No-Protein lists are cross-referenced? I've imported both into a spreadsheet, and am going through separating by Alphabet letter (A's, B's, etc.) but this is tedious.

Also... Mods, if I have the patience to go through and cross reference all of the lists, would this be something you'd like me to send to you?

Many Thanks,
Jane

Loreal EverSleek is 'cone free and AWESOME. Not sure about the daily conditioner, but the deep conditioner is a favorite.

I just wanted to mention - I know this is somewhat old news, but they are still on the 'cone free list - White Rain has reformulated most of it's conditioners (at least in the US) and they now contain Dimethicone. I forgot this and used tropical coconut the other day. Smells awesome, but has cones.

Me too! I just got the Apple Blossom scented and the coconut by accident!...I have been using cone free for so long...I decided to try it...I find that the cone frees have more"slip" I will go back to being cone free...

I was surprised to see Dimethicone...that is one of the biggies...Amoniacone sp? is a lot easier to wash out...

Mom gets 2 free conditioners!:D

Just found out that the Body Shop New Rainforest Shampoo is silicones, sulphates, parabens & colourant free, in five variations 'Balance ' for oily hair, 'radiance' for coloured hair, with a UV filter. 'Volumising', 'moisture' for dry/damaged hair and 'shine 'for normal to dry hair. The conditioners in the same range are silicones, parabens & colourant free. There is also a radiance detangling spray also nasties free. For a real hair treat a radiance or moisture hair butter.

My hair is pretty slippery now out of the shower, something that didn't really happen as much with Suave Coconut Conditioner. Mmmm luv luv luv luv luv :rolling: I've used it quite successfully CO washing, FYI.

Just bought the new L'Oreal Volume Collagen Conditioner today since it was on sale and from reading the ingredients list, I'm pretty sure it's cone free, unless I missed something.

Maybe Im blind, but I think you missed Urtekram. All of their shampoos & conditioners are silicone free and contain only plant based ingredients. They're certified organic as well. :)

Yay, thank you! I'm excited to learn about this brand - especially the "no perfume" conditioner (here's the link to it on their website: http://www.urtekram.com/no_cache/produktdetaljer010/prodcat/conditioner/2258/no_perfume_conditioner_organic_250_ml-1/)

Still researching natural, vegan, cone-free conditioners. They seem to be full of oils usually or even always. Wondering if just a tiny bit of oil (say, jojoba oil or evoo or coconut) could be used as a conditioner...?

[Kaeri]

I saw you have "boots basic's conditioner" in the list:


I currently use 'Boots Provitamin shine enhancer conditioner'. I'm in the UK and the person in my local Boots shop spent a while on the phone for me checking whether this has cones in it or not. Apparently it doesn't so I use it. Just thought I'd mention incase it helps anyone :)

Hi everyone... this is a very helpful list! Thanks so much!

I see a lot of the V05's on here but not the one I am looking at... I love all things coconut and wondered if the V05 coconut conditioner has cones... I don't recognize any but I thought I would check with you guys to be sure. Here is the ingredients list:

Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Stearlakonium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Glyceryl Stearate, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Benzophenone-4, Propylene Glycol, Stearyl Alcohol, Steareath-21, Polysorbate-20, Tocopleryl Acetate, Panthenol, Ascorbic Acid, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Extract, Niacinamide, Biotin

Thanks :-)

ETA: I have had a chance to double check each of the ingredients. No cones, though it looks like there might be one quat. Quats are over my head so I can't say much about them. But it looks like we can add this to the list of Cone-free conditioners! I'll pick up a bottle :-) It only costs a dollar in the US, too.

[Clarkie]

I haven't read through this entire thread so I apologize if someone has already mentioned Tresemme Naturals but I've been using it for a couple of months and my hair is loving it. I use the one with coconut and jojoba oil. It specifically says "Silicone Free" on the bottle. Not the entire line is silicone free though so you have to read the bottles. I picked up another one today with aloe and avocado oil and will give it a try tonight.
For my fellow Canadians, Shopper's Drug Mart has them on sale right now for $4.99 if you want to give it a whirl :)

[brickworld13]

Yes to Carrots is cone free, and my hair absolutely loves it. It's $8-$10 for 500 mL. As I don't wash very often and this stuff is really moisturizing, the bottle lasts for 3-4 months.

[laceyfairy]

I use EO and Kiss My Face and they don't have SLS or 'Cones. I've used them for a long time.

[jarlofthebogfey]

I didn't see it when I searched the thread, so I'll say it, I LOVE Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle conditioner for CO-washing. It's cone-free, and I pay under $4.00 a bottle. It works wonderfully for my hair. Very cleansing, and not heavy. I "wash" once with it, and then "condition" the length once with it. It's perfect for my hair, and I say that because I cannot CO-wash with anything else I have tried (cone-free of course), without making *my* hair uber heavy anyway. YMMV

Thanks for the comprehensive listing, grldollies! Desert Essence Fragrance Free is my favorite conditioner. An effective cone free and fragrance free conditioner can be a real challenge to find. This one suits my fine wavy hair just right.

[kt2062]

So I have Suave Natural tropical coconut that seems to be so popular as a "cone free" conditioner. I google the following ingredient which is the third one listed on the bottle:
"Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine is one of the leading 'replacements' for silicones in conditioners (For Tresemme Naturals fans - this is the lead surfactant in your conditioner). I placed the word replacements in quotes because it is not always strictly a replacement, sometimes it is added in conjuction with a silicone as happens with Herbal Essences (so in short, do not think that seeing it on the ingredient list means that the conditioner is silicone free)."
Dang! So I looked harder but could not find anything else that looked like a cone...

[Rebeccalaurenxx]

Did the tressemme naturals conditioner get pulled? I do not see it at walmart or target anymore...

[littlestarface]

Yea it did, there botanique now and perfectly undone.

[Rebeccalaurenxx]

Good to know, I have not used it in 2-3 years but recently was checking for it and didnt see it.
Are the ingredients the same?

No, but those are the only 2 cone free. Sadly they keep their coney ones for 50 years but discontinue the coneless stuff everyone loved!

[Rebeccalaurenxx]

PFT. Wow! Well, good to know though.

[rmani]

I use perfectly undone - love it. Use for rinse out and leave in. So much slip its hard to believe it's cone free! Botanique has a very overpowering scent which gave me headaches. Almost no slip.

[lapushka]

The naturals line has been discontinued for a while now. Perfectly undone is becoming more & more popular, though (on YT). ;)

[Anshul585]

Oh, I'm currently on an enliven conditioner. I've raspberry and red apple and believe it smells amazing, a bit like candy. Its very moisturising and not at all heavy. I've used it in deep treatments and it go very well for SMT. And the best part is it is cone free and available for a very cheap price. Its the best for wavy-curly hairs.

[PrincessAralin]

Sukin Organics are a silicone-free brand, I'm not sure about their international availability though.

[daisy rei]

Oh! This thread is so helpful; it needs to be revived.

Herbal Essences used to be one of my favorite conditioners but I guess that phase is over....

[nycelle]

Gonna add a few more:

All conditioners by Briogeo
All conditioners by Devacurl
Most, if not all, Klorane conditioners.

[daisy rei]

Oh, Mane and Tail does have 'cones - I was looking at it in the store the other day.

[chiapommama]

pathetic the regular mane and tail is cone free but the rest have cones.

[chiapommama]

The Garnier Fructis Pure Clean is cone free.

[daisy rei]

pathetic the regular mane and tail is cone free but the rest have cones.

I saw "dimethicone" and one other ingredient ending in "cone" - but you're right, I don't know which version I was looking at.

I got Garnier Sleek and Shine Zero conditioner (silicone free) just one time, the first time I saw it at the store. Absolutely LOVED the scent and the consistency for my hair, and now can't find it anywhere. 😭 On amazon it's only available from third party sellers for 3-4x the price. I don't understand how it went from new, to gone off the face of the earth so fast.

I am in Georgia (the state.) It was everywhere for a few weeks and now nothing in that line anywhere! They still have the sleek and shine, but not sleek and shine zero. It also says 'out of stock' on Garniers own website.

Favorite cone free conditioner ever: Earthly Delight, that I used to buy on Iherb. But it's been out of stock for a while...

Thanks! It looks like I could order it from Walmart too. 🤔 I'm just afraid they would take my money and it wouldn't ship forever. I don't understand why it's not on amazon or stores here or garnier site if they have it in stock.

[hoggle]

hi i have a newbie question,
if i have seborrheic dermatitis..

i should avoid these correct?
maybe just avoid conditioning all together?

thanks!

maybe il just do a leave in product while my hair is dry, nowhere near my scalp

I use silicones, just not on my scalp, if I can avoid it. Dimethicone is remarkably an exception in shampoos often and my scalp doesn't seem to mind; but you have to figure this out on your own.

First it has to be dealt with and at bay, with some medicated shampoo or the appropriate treatment prescribed by a dermatologist!

"Favorite cone free conditioner ever:*Earthly Delight, that I used to buy on Iherb. But it's been out of stock for a while..."

Yamsha23, I'm in love with Earthly Delight shampoo & pomade, which Walmart.com carries, even if the Walmart stores don't. It's funny that Walmart doesn't carry their Conditioner. Maybe if enough people request it?

But!!! There IS a work-around! Lafe's ... I think they bought out Earthly Delight, because it seems like Lafe's now manufactures the entire Earthly Delight line, along with their own Lafe's products. SO, buy directly from Lafe's:

<https://lafes.com/collections/all/products/earthly-delight-hair-conditioner>

Hmmm... Their website says they're sold out right now, but they're the manufacturer, so I guess we should contact them & ask. The more requests they get, the more likely they'll be to resume production, right?

[Kalamazoo]

Personally, I haven't found any conditioners that I'm not allergic to (Chemicals bother me. I have a stricter definition of "natural" than some.), but I'm making do with various oils, like rubbing cocoa butter on my ends, or using the Earthly Delight Pomade. And I just found Jason's Vitamin E Skin Oil on the shelf at Walmart this week. Yup! It's amazing on hair! Also gets rid of wrinkles...
