Bonne soirée notre petite amie Suzie Q. Vous qui vie dans la province d`amour.
Cheap stuff can be Herbal Essences from the drug store.
I prefer stuff like Biolage which is more money but worth every penny. Lánza makes a good product. Aveda is still my favorite in all. ( Aveda is very expensive). It really depends on your hair type.

I find the Phytothérathrie (Phytologie) products to excellent and you can order them from the marketplace on this web site.

I have some clients that really love Aubrey Organics. However, some find them a bit heavy for their hair so it depends on your hair type. They are 100% natural products and I do like the Blue Green Algae Hair Mask. Here is a site with excellent prices on their products:

For conditioning, I have been getting terrific results with monoi oil. Here is a fine source for it:

Good luck and I hope you find something that works really well for you. ;)

I can second the monoi oil comment. I think it is a terrific conditioner and it has done wonders for the four people I know that have used it. One had a perm that had severely dried her hair out and the monoi oil made a HUGE difference in the condition of her hair. I used to recommend jojoba oil (and I still use it on occasion) but find monoi works even better.

You may be able to find it in a health food store near you, that is where I find it here. It is worth the search.

You might check the Alternative Therapies board, Merlin posted several conditioning recipes using home products that work very well (I`ve tried a couple of them.)

Good luck and happy conditioning. ;)

Another source to buy Monoï oil is at Yves Rocher Company.
They sell a 100 ml bottle for $14.00 ( full price) but they often offer
products at special price. ( Monoï de Tahiti, traditional gardenia oil )
(CDN price)
Maybe , I'll make mistakes in my sentences, I usually speak French. But this site is great and I love it !

Does the Yves Rocher monoi oil contain mineral oil ? I`ve tried emailing Yves Rocher for the ingredients but they never reply back. Don`t want to order if it does and be stuck with it.

I have read that Yves Rocher monoi oil is not in the pure form. They add artifical ingredients and mineral oil.

On the box of the bottle of Monoï from Yves Rocher it is written :

Genuine Tahitian Monoï. A legendary Tahitian beauty secret, monoï is created
by steeping Gardenia flowers in nutritive coconut oil, a well-know skin softening agent.
Traditional Gardenia oil
Contains over 50 % of true Monoï of Tahiti, to protect your skin from
drying and make your hair glossier. Use it daily as a massage oil,
a hair conditionner, or tip a capful in your bath to soften your skin.

Ingredients : coconut oil, tiare ( Gardenia ) flowers, mineral oil, fragrance,
tocopheryl acetate ( vit.E) , butylparaben.

100 ml .

I hope it will help you to know .
