    I finally got the Dream Lengths one and tried it. It seems ok, but not quite as stellar as Bonacure used to be.

    I'm grateful for the recommendations and may try some of them when I have enough money!

    Not Your Mother's All Eyes On Me has been treating me so well! I really like it. It's lighter on the cones, but I've found that it still helps keep the tangles at bay.

    Recently I picked up a trial sized bottle of Sebastian Potion 9. This stuff has been around for a long time. I forgot how good it is. In the US Sally’s Beauty Supply carries a generic version of it, that’s supposed to be pretty good too:

    I’d love a recommendation if anyone has one for a silicone serum that has no or very little scent! I’m finishing up my current bottle and it’s great except it clashes with my perfume lol.

    The first five ingredients are: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, and Isododecane, but I’ve never seen a serum that is scent-free so perhaps beggars can be choosers.

    Anyone know of anything like this available in the USA?

    I use CHI silk infusion serum (recommended on LHC by bannoo) it has an inital strong musky cologne scent (more masculine than feminine in my oppinion) The smell does not linger for me and therefore doesn’t clash with any other scent I wear. As long as the initial punch of scent wouldn’t bother you!

    CHI's serum is great, awesome cologne like smell. Can be overpowering if you don't like perfumes in your stuff. I bought some generic old serums from Aldi/Lidl and they appear to have as good as 0 scent, or well, something mild. Often generic, cheap stuff? I mean don't overlook it. Just go to a grocery store you happen to frequent, have a look-see for something generic, and just give it a go!

    Yeah, I think I’ll just have to go to stores and sniff things until I find something inoffensive. I am not one to rule out the cheap stuff lol!

    I don't know how much you want to spend, but OUAI hair oil is literally one of the best I've ever used. Have been using it for about 5 years now and the only one that comes close is the Pureology 21 Essential leave-in conditioner, but that has more of a scent.

    The OUIA Hair oil has a very mild scent that dissipates quickly. First five ingredients are:
    Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Isododecane, Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate so very similar to yours.

    Be the voice for those that can't speak...

    Unless something has changed since I last had this, Kiehl’s Silk Groom Serum doesn’t have a scent:

    I suppose I don’t mind buying something more pricey because I’m only 2/3 done with my current bottle and it’s lasted me three years so far! Speaking of pricey, I was actually thinking of trying something like the Olaplex Number 7 Bonding Oil in case that really would help to rebond splits but I can’t tell from the ingredients if it even has any kind of active ingredient in it or if it’s just a serum? I’ll have to research it further and go take a sniff next time I’m near a Sephora or Ulta. Is that where I’d find the OUIA one? It is definitely seems super close to the one I have now. Thanks!

    I have never used a Kiehl’s product! I’ll have to test it out if I see this one, thanks.
