    I liked V05 when I was trying Conditioner-only washing ("CO") . It seems too light to use as a regular post-shampoo conditioner.
    I want to finally get back to Classic. Growing again starting March 2018.

    I like the tea therapies, the condish especially. I agree that it is cheaper lots of other places, even my grocery store has it for less than $1.

    I have the vo5 collection. I've only used two product lines on the shampoo and conditioner. The first one I used was warm vanilla and Shea butter cashmere silk and my spit ends set. I love them both and would recommend them to anyone. I also think its great product if you're on a budget. You can buy them on sale at my local market for $.69 cents each.

    I've been using my mom's Kiwi Lime, and started diluting some in a spray bottle for a leave in - I like it. The scent is a little strong for my taste when giving it a sniff test but it smells good in my hair.

    That's an interesting idea! What water to conditioner ratio do you use?

    Colorado is my physical home but I spend a lot of time in my mind. It's safer that way.

    I went with cheese, I like VO5 but haven't used anything from them in years. I may well when my Herbal Essances runs out, I am feeling the broke student pinch at this point and need something to condition with. Thanks for this!

    Definitely recommend, especially if your hair doesn't care much for silicones (this applies to the US. I think the UK varieties have silicones.) but isn't much picky otherwise. For my own hair, I tend to prefer the Suave Naturals products -- they're a little thicker, only one or two varieties have protein (which is an individual thing, but my hair dislikes it), they're silicone free and don't tend to build up for me, and they're similarly cheap. If your hair is picky about protein like mine, you'll have to be a diligent label-reader with VO5.

    I use them to CO wash and love them.

    My favorites are Vanilla Mint Tea, Kiwi Lime Squeeze, Shea Cashmere, Green Tea, Blackberry Sage.

    Since it's thin it's also good as the first conditioner in CWC. I wet my hair and apply kiwi lime V05 from the ears down. Without rinsing, I shampoo the roots, then rinse. Then I apply a thicker conditioner while I go about my showerly duties. I agree with Xcaliburgirl that it's a little too thin for a final conditioner.
