I just have 1 go to conditioner. Impac Ego Moisturizing Conditioner with Garlic by Alter Ego. Let me tell you, it leaves my hair feeling like BUTTER. The slip is ridiculous, it smells great and a little goes a LONG way! I used to use this product when I was relaxed and loved it. I decided to give it another try after not being able to find a conditioner that my natural hair loved. Here's the link;

I'm only 5 mos. post BC with about 4-5 inches of hair and still trying to experiment with natural products; so far the best includes
1. detangler – Kinky Curly Knot Today
2. moisturizer – Yes to Carrots
3. protein – I don't really focus on protein, but I do use Henna
4. Multi-use/Leave-in – still looking but for the last couple of days I've been using Qhemet Biologics AOHC as a leave-in/moisturizer
and my hair has been very soft
5. Deep Conditioner – don't know if it's the best yet, but I just used Mozeke Moisturizing Hair Masque and I like it so far
Taliah Waajid Enhancing Herbal Conditioner & The Great Detangler
#thatisall
If u haven't tried them you should!
Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Conditioner – I really like the way it smells and it works really well. My one gripe is that the company tests on animals, so I will not be buying it again until the ban takes effect. This product is also nice for traveling b/c it's a pretty small bottle to begin with, but it also nests well with the shampoo and is a flat shape.

I don't do silicones, not because i don't like them (they tend to hold my curls well) but i don't like having to use sulfate-based shampoos that are required to rinse silicones out. These shampoos give me dry scalp, etc. and basically make my hair feel very needy in terms of moisture. It took me years to figure this out, however.
So here is my list (silicone free):
1. best detangler: Sante Brilliant Care Conditioner… great quality stuff without the steep price. And a little goes a long way.
2. best in moisture: Yes to Carrots
3. best strengthening: Wella SP Hydration Expensive but worth it. It does have a very light silicone product in it though (I think)
4. best rinse-out/leave-in: Natures Gate Hemp for dry/frizzy hair
5. BEST IN SHOW: Sante Brilliant Care!!! This is the holy grail for my 3b/3c curls. I discovered it while living in Germany and went lengths to order it now that I'm back in the USA. It's available to order at santeamerica.com
