Hi Ken,

There are a LOT of conditioners that are silicone-free. Like strawberryfine, I will attest to the benefits of using Biolage's Conditioning Balm, and to the fact that it last forever (I recently finished using a tub of the stuff which I had purchased 8 years ago! ... though I have alternated with lots of other conditioners during that time).

Basically, with conditioners, I find that the cheap ones aren't very good for my own very long hair. They may work perfectly well for short hair, but long hair requires better, IMO.

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm is silicone free and the best conditioner I've ever used. You can buy it in a lot of salons and also at drugstore.com. Your hair type looks similar to mine, so it would probably work well for you. This one sounds a little pricey at first but it takes so little of it, it lasts forever and IMO it is well worth the cost.

Nexxus Humectress is available at JC Penney salons and sometimes in salons in malls and at drugstore.com.

For easy to find conditioners, I think White Rain Extra Body, Suave Naturals, some of the VO5 Conditioners (but check labels) are supposed to be cone free.

HTH,

Do you live near a Body Shop? Their Brazil Nut conditioner is lovely and it's silicone-free. I think their Nettle Oil Balancing Conditioner is silicone-free too.

Natural Shea Butter is an excellent conditioner. You could also take a look at some of the conditioners made especially for curly hair. They are more likely to be silicone-free.

Ok I will try to find it, but the name implies I will have a hard time finding it in a department store.

Weleda Rosemary Phyto Hair Conditioner . I haven't tried this but it only gets a 2.9 on the EWG Report and that is a very good score.
Type: 3c/4a Natural
Current Length: 6"
Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair.

I'm right now in need of a conditoner that doesn't have cones.

Everytime I condition my hair with Ganier for dry and damaged hair, my hair feels like plastic.

I have looked into most of the major brands but to no avail, almost everyone of them have cones.

I live in Michigan if that is any help.
