College student that needs help!

Hair conditioner by Nutress (Sally Beauty Supply)or Kolestral (also at Sally in a tube). These are super moisturizing. I use them but, my hair is really fine and they tend to weigh it down (but I still use them). They should work for you. Also, Sally puts these on sale all the time so, you can get them at a reasonable price and they last for a long time. Hope this helps.> I am an African-American college student (on somewhat> of a budget)with thick color-treated and relaxed hair> (I am trying to grow both of the treatments out).

I recently read that Infusium has 'cones in it which lead to brittle hair and breakage. I have noticed that my hair is more brittle after using it for a while. (I think the cones are silicone or dimethicone. I can't remember.)Right now, I cannot think of any other products to recommend but, I'll check my cabinets at home and see if I can think of any other inexpensive products. Hope this helps.
