What are you CO washing with and then what are you using as your second conditioner?
Also what worked for you and what didn't?

I'm currently using Morissons Jojoba conditioner (it's 88p for a 750ml bottle) as my CO wash and I use Tresemme Naturals Moisture conditioner as my rinse out 🙂
I did try the Sainsburys Watermint conditioner but I needed loads of it and it wasn't as good.

But with the current routine I have is really working 😀

There is a few threads dotting around the foruk if you search. This one will probably be more helpful to you. http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=6550.0

I started this one because i wanted to see what was good for the co wash that I could try out.

I use a variety of Wilco conditioners for washing and then quite a few different conditioners for my second conditioner: Fructis Repair and Shine (actually I ran out of it and my Wilco doesn't stock it anymore!), Tresemme naturals, anything from Alberto Balsam.

I have to find new conditioners for washing as Wilco tests on animals and I'm going cruelty free so when I run out I'll have to investigate other ones (Sainsburys and Superdrugs dont test, so perhaps they've got some cheapy cone-free stuff)

Theo, wilko discontinued the garnier range. So we don't do it at all, i wasn't aware we tested on animals though! I will be investigating this!

😮 but, but...they're so many!!! I'll come living in  the UK!!!
Here in Italy I don't think we even have the fructis ones  :-[ (ok maybe under an other name... need to investigate! No way that cheap anyway)
I found one that works for COW(splend'or al cocco, for who's interested, 500ml  2.50 euro ) as it was named in an italian forum, but I can't seem to find anything else... found one without silicones but had polyquaternium xx and was soo sticky afterwards (mill mill karité)...there might be others but are like masks and in no way ok to clean the hair...  🙁
If anybody here has one, please write! 🙂

I haven't figure out what conditioner to use for a Co wash, here in romania it's luxury to find a decent hair product 😛
They do have the fructis one though but that is for use as a normal or leave in conditioner right? Not for Co-washing...

In Europe I think it's called 'triple nutrition' might be worth googling it to find out if it is the same and available on your eBay etc.

It is a little thick and rich for co washing but I use it after my co wash and leave it on my hair like 10/15 mins whilst I lay in the bath, it is worth trying to find as its very reasonably priced and good stuff! Xx
