cone-free, nice natural scent, cheap, great for rinsing out henna
|

Cons:

not a lot of herbal extracts, cheaper ingredients, no protien
|

I rated this product an 8, but really, it depends on what you want to use this for.
A light, thinner conditioner this gets a 10 for aiding in rinsing out henna/cassia mud. The scent is light and plays well with the henna smell rather than trying to smother it with something utterly dissimilar (like strawberries or something). Inexpensive and releativly easy to find, this is by far my favorite drugstore conditioner.
I rated it a 8 because while it is great for COing out henna, it is not a great moisturizing or nourishing conditioner. Not bad, just not great. Its thinner consistency requires using more, which somewhat negates the cost savings of it's initial lower price. There are also fewer natural ingredients than are found in most health food store products, and I feel that it is less effective on the scalp than a light shampoo with beneficial herbal extracts.

though the above description says it contains soy protein, my bottle (and ingredient list) doesnt seem to have it. I have protein sensitive hair, but this gives me no problems.
I switch this off with other conditioners (or none at all) and for fine hair, its an excellent conditioner. I mostly use it in henna glosses, it has a wonderful tendancy to "kill" henna's smell.

none IMO

This is my favorite conditioner for COing. I CO washed from July-December 2007, currently I S&C with a CO every few washes for extra moisture. It smells very pleasant, and light. It washes out easily, no residue, and provides light moisture so as to not weigh down my i/ii hair. It's available at every store I shop at, and even though one bottle only lasts about a month, for a buck who can complain?
Dh uses this regularly as his conditioner-his hair is i, and too much moisture makes it tangly and stringy.

smells sooooo good and calming, light, washes out easily, cone-less
|
|
Cons:
|
not always available
|

I adore this conditioner from V05 because it really does calm me down from the scent. It is one of the lighter conditioner, as in it washes out easily, but it definitely does the job of detangling and leaving hair soft.

This was a very watery conditioner that I seemed to go through really fast. It also didn't do to well in the moisture department; so this would prob be go for CO if you don't want a ton of mositure.

Pros:
|
Cheap, cleans well and lightly if you're looking for something for CO or the first C in CWC
|
|
Cons:
|
Not great for the traditional role of hair treatment you might expect from a conditioner
|
|
This product is wonderful if you're looking for a conditioner that cleans. I use it regularly as the first conditioner in my CWC washes. It has a thin consistency that rinses out easily. It does a good job at cleaning the length after a deep oil treatment. It gives good slip without using 'cones. The flip-top bottle is easy to use. The scent is light, and I find it pleasant.
If you're looking for a moisturizer treatment or a protein treatment, this is not the choice for you. But it's perfect where you need a conditioner to get your length clean.

Pros:
|
Best all-round CO conditioner I've tried
|
|
Cons:
|
Not rich enough without some kind of leave-in or oil.
|
|
This is a conditioner that can cleanse and nourish (for CO).
I do start with DRY hair, so I use like 1/3 of a regular sized bottle.
I love it for travel because I don't need anything else besides this, a little aloe gel and coconut oil to finish.

This is one of my favorite V05 conditioners. It gives my hair nice slip and smells fantastic. It isn't too heavy and rinses out easily. I think it works very well for the light/cleansing conditioner in my CO washing.

Pros:
|
cheap. no build-up. cleansing. great for CO
|
|
Cons:
|
probably won't do much for your hair if you regularly use shampoo
|
|
I'm giving this a 10 as a conditioner for "Conditioner Only Washing". I love the price. I love the scent. I love how it cleans my hair and scalp and rinses clean out with no buildup. It leaves my hair soft and curly, but not frizzy. For some reason most of the Suave conditioners I've used make my hair frizzy.
If you use a regular shampoo, this conditioner probably isn't for you.

I really like this product for light conditioning. I leave it on in the shower while I clean up and rinse it off as the last thing I do. My hair is not especially dry and when I use this in my routine (I also use coconut oil) it works very well. The price and scent are also a plus! I do wish that the consistency was a bit thicker.

I like this conditioner for use as the first conditioner in a CWC. It detangles nicely, and feels like it cleans the length of your hair well without stripping, and rinses clean easily without leaving behind any residue. That also makes it really nice as a CO conditioner, because it doesn't leave your scalp feeling grimy. It's only mildly conditioning, so I have to follow it up with something else heavy and thick, regardless of how I use it.
It's very thin. This is a blessing and a curse. It makes spreading it around and through your hair a breeze, but it also means you'll probably end up using a ton.
I really like the scent - it's light and natural, and I've found it lingers quite a bit in my hair (as do all the VO5 scents).

I really like this conditioner for CO or the first C in CWC. It is very light, easy to rinse out, and has a milder scent compared to most cheap conditioners. My boyfriend is very sensitive to artificial scents, but he did not complain about this product. It still smells chemical-y, but not as bad as some other cheap conditioners.
If your hair needs moisture, then I suggest teaming this product up with something else.
ETA: After buying a new bottle of this and using it for a CO, I have come to realize that the slip I get from this conditioner is actually quite nice. I put it into my hair and let it sit for five minutes or so and rinsed out and my hair was nearly tangle-free with little effort on my part.
