Who loves Giovanni

[Dragon]

Has any one tryed Giovanni? Do you like it? Which one do you use? How does it make your hair feel?

[monkeyprincess]

I love Giovanni. I use Smooth as Silk Conditioner and the Direct Leave-In. They make my hair very soft and extraordinarily easy to detangle. I've tried 50-50 conditioner and it just isn't heavy enough for my hair. My DH loves the Tea Tree Shampoo, I find it a bit stripping for my hair though it feels awesome on my scalp :)

I used to use their Golden Wheat shampoo and Smooth as Silk conditioner. I had to switch, it just got too expensive, but after they changed their formula it didn't work as well for me either.

I do! 50:50 conditioner is good for CO'ing, and Smooth As Silk Conditioner is good for extra moisture. Since my hair is so fine, it gets weighed down easily so sometimes I use a tiny bit of these conditioners as a leave-in for frizz control since my hair doesn't like straight oils. They go on sale sometimes at Safeway too.

Sometimes, I use the Smooth as Silk Conditioner, although, now that I have discovered Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose, Giovanni SAS is probably on its way out for good. I used to use the Direct Leave-in, but it caused tangles and hardness. I have to figure out how to use up the Direct Leave-in, because I still have two liter-sized bottles left.

I have used the 50/50 Balancing shampoo and conditioner. Shampoo I didn't care for, left my hair lankly and built up like most non-SLS poos to to me. The conditioner was ok, still have some of it left in my shower, I used it for SMT's. If your hair doesn't like cones or SLS, these might be much better for you than they were for me.

i love the Giovanni direct leave-in. It reduces the frizz on my hair. I have used also the smooth as silk conditioner. I also like it but haven't bought it again since I'm trying other brands right now.

I love their magnetic conditioner. I haven't been able to order any lately but I need to. It makes my hair feel like a silky sheet. I always use about an 8 on their strength chart.I also really like the direct leave in conditioner and styling spray. In fact, the whole line of products is awesome!

[paperwhite]

I love they're Smooth as Silk conditioner and the deep treatment (can't remember the name, comes in an upright tube). My hair always feels so nice after using those conditioners!

[Deborah]

I don't like it. It leaves my hair dry.

I have two friends with amazing hair that love the Giovanni Magnetic shampoo and conditioner. They have been using it for years. I like it too by the way. But I have just used the shampoo.

[greentealeaf]

I use the Tea Tree Triple Treat fairly often (other times I use shampoo bars) and love it. It feels so nice and tingly on your scalp! I also have the Hair Reconstructor, which came free with a purchase. I haven't used it too much, but it seems great once in a while for deep moisturizing.

[Carriegirl]

I use the VitraPro leave-in conditioner and like it a lot. I wonder how it compares to the Direct leave-in since so many of you like that. Can anyone give a comparison?

[ShadowSwallow]

It's like a less liquid-y version of the 50:50 conditioner. I love Giovanni. However, since the 50:50 shampoo formula was reformulated it seems to make my hair fall out. :( Right now I'm using the Smooth as Silk shampoo with the 50:50 conditioner and it's working out great.

The only protein treatment I use is the Nutrafix Hair Reconstructor. I'll put it on in the shower after I shampoo, rinse it out, then apply my regular conditioner. I need to use protein regularly or my hair gets over-moisturized and mushy.

[marimara]

I used the 50:50 conditioner with a no sls shampoo for months thinking I was doing my hair a favor and after a long time I realized I had horrible buildup. I'm guessing it was the no sulfate shampoo that caused that though. Now I know that my hair likes a little protein though so I don't use it that often. It does make your hair soft and shiny, but you must clarify once in a while when using it.

[meowmeow]

I love the 50:50 conditioner. :) The only thing I don't like about Giovanni is that the litre sizes are so mysterious to find. I don't know any retailers that sell them other than discount stores like Winners.

[sandrak]

I love the Smooth as Silk conditioner. It detangles and makes my hair soft and moisturized.

[jackie75]

I love the smooth as silk shampoo & condish. I have tried the tea tree one, but it stripped my hair.

So far, it's the only natural-type brand that doesn't dry my hair out. Now if only they would redesign their ridiculous bottles!!

[mira-chan]

I tried it, the shampoo. Unfortunately I found out with this one that I can't even use derivatives of sulfates (Sulfonates, etc) as they make my scalp itch. :( Otherwise it was a good shampoo.

Agreed! The bottles really don't need to be shaped like they are. It makes it hard to use up the last of the container!

[Elenna]

I'm using Giovanni SAS and like it. It is like a cream rinse in getting the tangles out and hair is more cooperative too.

[ShadowSwallow]

I take off the tops of the bottles to get the last of the product.

[allfeya]

I use Frizz be gone and it works good for me.

[Felix_D]

Hilarious.

I buy these bottles at Winners or Homesense (Canadian discount stores) whenever I see them for $15 each. TTT lasts a few months, 50:50 will last a year.

The 50:50 smells weird and is very rich. I use it on ends only. I CO wash with the TTT.

[greentealeaf]

Wow, I've never seen the big bottles like that! I'm noticing that I'm going through my TTTT shampoo very quickly, so I'll be keeping my eyes out for that.

[curlycrocheter]

I love Giovanni Smooth as Silk! I use it as a leave-in/moisturizer and I use it in my DC mixture. It leaves my hair soft as.....well, silk! I recently found a website that sells them in liter and gallon sizes. So I'm excited to save myself some money and finally be able to use all of the product!

I love Smooth as Silk conditioner. I also like TTTT conditioner; the scent is awesome. Since there are so many good reports, I may need to try the Direct Leave-In.

[Copasetic]

I have been using the direct leave in conditioner pretty much since I joined the LHC. I love it! It is probably the thickest cone-free leave in I have ever tried. I hardly need any to make my hair really easy to comb through.
