I was wondering if I could combine my Aloe vera and Ginseng conditioner with my Almond and Shea butter conditioner. The Aloe and Ginseng is for volume and the Almond and Shea is for moisture. Both work for what they are for, but the aloe and ginseng isn't as moisturizing as i need for my hair like the almond and shea. i would like to have volume and moisture. Any thoughts on this? :)

Maybe you could CWC, and use almond and shea butter as your first C, and aloe vera and ginseng as your second C?

I have mixed different conditioners before with no ill effects. I don't see why it could be bad, but I could be wrong.

I don't see why not, I've mixed the end of one bottle with the start of another before with no problems, even with different brands. I think it would be fine though you might have to add a drop of essential oil to it if the scents don't go together well.

I also mix different conditioners, or mix them with shampoo to dilute it.

Or just concentrate the more moisturizing one on the ends.

:blossom: Well i tried it out today and so far I'm liking the results, its soft and moisturized like i want it and there is a bit of volume but not as much as it would be if i used the aloe/ginseng by itself (maybe the almond shea butter is stronger than the aloe/ginseng). shall i continue doing it this way? well i will see when its completely dry from the washing and conditioning.:)

It looks pretty and shiny!! Your hair looks very healthy to me. I like may1em's suggestion of using the heavier conditioner on the tips only; at your length it might be easier to do that on dry hair so you can see clearly where the tips are.
