Cmesweet, how are the Dove products? I've been eyeing them every time I go to the store, but my wallet keeps screaming for me to go the other way.
The few Dove products that I have used have worked fine for me. The much raved about Mist Leave-IN ( Thanks Taggi) is pretty good and smells fresh. Softens the hair up abit and it is very light...just like a Mist. The price was only $4.26.
I tried a moisture conditioner from Dove...I got it from the "traveling" section of the grocery store where you purchas small travel sizes. It made my hair feel pretty good. However, I did a co-wash with it and let it air dry and my hair was still wet/damp after 2.5 days. If I recall correctly Pokahontas use Dove conditioner and loves it, once she said it made her hair take a longer time to dry than usual. I'll try to find that link

Cmesweet, the shipping was $15.40 (shipped to TX.) I bought the whipped butter and 3 cubes of the Rhassoul deep conditioner. I love the products and I will probably order later this year when I can order a huge amount. I have a friend that is from London and I was going to get him to just bring my order back the next time he went home, but he isn't going back for a while.
I love the whipped butter it isn't greasy at all and it smells wonderful, just like cake.
Yolligirl how much was the shipping price from the UK for AnitGrant. I'm interested in h er products but its the distance that made me realize that the shipping and handling would not be cheap.
Hair Type: 4a/4b Natural
Current Length: Not sure... forehead area passed chin...sides pass armpit or to armpit.
Condition: Low shine...random splits..naturally soft so it could be dry but I wouldn't know
Current Products Motions Lavishing shampoo, Suave/white rain conditioners olive/coconut oil.
Current Regime Clarify once a week, moisturize and style ...in warmer weather cowash or water rinse every couple of days wear a puff. airdry
Goal condition: No splits or less splits...figure out how to tell when my hair is or isn't moisturized ( need to find a new method since it usually stays soft)
New Products/Regime: New products...my new horn seamless comb. Various product samples from pantene, pureology and myhoneychild that I have yet to use. My Lekair cholesterol conditioner mixed with my homemade shealoe soon. Try my flax seed gel I made...haven't used it yet. Lets see...my new DOVE Leave-in...I plan on using it when I wear my hair loose/out this summer. There are some more products but I can't remember.
