Looking for alcohol free and silicone free conditioner

I am looking for an alcohol and silicone free conditioner that won't dry out my hair. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Toadstool Soaps on Etsy makes some nice ones.

Though I should point out (in case you don't know, maybe you do) some alcohols are not bad and are actually conditioning for your hair. I'm thinking of Cetyl and Stearyl alcohol, though I think there are others. They are fatty alcohols (some of our resident chemists can clarify this I'm sure.) (Actually, here is a link with the complete list: http://kinkycurlycoilyme.com/5-must-...r-conditioner/. There are some to avoid, but I can't recall what they are right now.)

I cant be sure about alcohol free I don't have the bottle anymore but check out suave coconut. Remember not ALL alcohols are drying alcohols.

Which country are you in?

As others have said, fatty alcohols can be good for the hair, short-chain ones bad, and others neutral

Neutral:

Benzyl alcohol is a non-volatile alcohol used as a preservative in products. It should not impact the texture or feel of your hair.
Propylene glycol is most often used as a humectant

Fatty Alcohols: Provide emollient effect, lubricity, emulsion stabilization (the GOOD alcohols):
