Pros:	cone-free, cruelty-free, cheap, lightly scented, good for CO washing
Cons:	only available at TJ's, contains parabens

This is a staple in my household.
I have used this to CO wash, and it is light enough to do so with good results. However, this is also a great conditioner for i and ii hair types- it is very light but moisturizing. Have also used as a leave-in in a pinch, and the scent lingered all day.

My hair is soft and smells like oranges when I use this. No tangles-provides the perfect amount of slip.
This works great in my SMT, and the scent blends beautifully with Oyin's Honey Hemp conditioner (which I use as my honey portion in SMT). One bottle lasts me and DH a month. For extra moisture, add a few drops jojoba or glycerin.
Rated this a 9 for 'con' reasons above.

Pros:	no cones, moisturizing, good slip
Cons:	candy smell, parabens, not available all over

Pretty good for the price, works well in SMTs and as a leave in. I used up my bottle and replaced it with the Nourish Spa kind. I'm not sure if I'd buy it again (there are other conditioners I like better), but it does work very well and is pretty versatile.

I kind of wish it smelled a little spicier, though. It smells like orange sherbet and makes me hungry for candy. I find that distracting. I wonder if adding some cinnamon essential oil or something could tone that down, though?

Pros:	cone-free, cheap, has yarrow
Cons:	you need a lot

I use this to rinse out henndigo. It takes a cup (or more depending on the brand of henna/indigo I'm using) but it still lasts several uses. For $2 it beats Suave and White Rain IMO because it has chamomile, sage, and yarrow, which my scalp loves.
Will always repurchase.
