So the last time I bought Hello Hydration conditioner I didn't really like it, plus I don't like the smell. However, when it first came out (ten years ago or so?), I thought it made my hair feel like silk and I would use it despite not liking the scent that much. I've suspected that the one sold in the EU might be a different formula, so I looked it up, and sure enough they are different.
Here are the Hello Hydration conditioner ingredients listed on the UK Boots website:
Aqua, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetyl Alcohol, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Parfum, Benzyl Alcohol, Dicetyldimonium Chloride, Isopropyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Linalool, Magnesium Nitrate, Zea Mays Silk Extract, Orchis Mascula Flower Extract, Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, CI 42090, Magnesium Chloride, Methylisothiazolinone, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid
The American version:
Ingredients. Water , Stearyl Alcohol , Cyclopentasiloxane , Cetyl Alcohol , Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine , Dimethicone , Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract , Cocoa Nucifera Milk Fragrance Coconut , Glutamic Acid , Benzyl Alcohol , EDTA , Methylchloroisothiazolinone , Methylisothiazolinone , Citric Acid , Blue 1.
I wish I had an ingredient list for the original one when it first came out, but I think it's been changed and tweaked a few times. I wonder if it was similar to this EU current formula that people rave about?

Creeping my way back to Classic
I'll check my version (Belgium/The Netherlands):
Aqua, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Metholsulfate, Cetyl Alcohol, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Parfum, Benzyl Alcohol, Dycetyldimonium Chloride, Isopropyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Hexyl Chinnamal, Benzyl Salicytate, Limonene, Linalool, Magnesium Nitrate, Zea Mays Silk Extract, Orchis Mascula Flower Extract, Cocus Nucifera Fuit Extract, Methylcloroisothiazolinone, CI 42090, Magnesium Chloride, Methylisothiazolinone, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid (sorry for typos)
^ Lord only knows how many times they changed it. Whatever the ingredients were of the original formula, I really liked.
Has anyone used the totally twisted gel or mousse? How well does it hold curls? Is it sticky? Any review would be helpful.
I haven't used it in a while, I'd have to look at the bottle to make sure it's not the one with Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine way up on the ingredient list. When that's used as a base I tend not to like conditioners or the way they feel as much. However my current Shine collection one has that ingredient further down and it isn't too bad.
p.s. I never did get to try that Triple Nutrition one everyone likes so much..
