Has anyone used Rene Furterer or Kiehl products? If so, please tell me of your experience and your hair type/texture/condition/results. Please be as thorough as possible. I have been on a search for the right products for some time now and would like some input before I try yet another. My hair texture has changed over the last year or so, so the hair combination has been difficult to pin down with the right products.Thanks so much!!! I appreciate your help in advance!!April

Hi aprili have used several Kiehl's products. I live in NY so it's easy for me to get samples from their shop. I have medium-fine, wavy shoulder length hair that tends to be a little dry.As a general rule, it's very important to read Kiehl's product labels. When they say something is for very dry, damaged hair, for example, they mean it! Some of their products are very heavy, emoillent, which can be good or bad, depending on your hair type and condition. ALso, the formulas tend to rely mostly on natural products ands oils, which I prefer. While many of their products are pretty pricey, I have mostly found them to be concentrated, and superbly made, thus worth the cost. But it's really smart of you to research the products before you buy.Not all products are suitable for certain hair types.Here's what I've tried and what I think of some:silk groom: a nice, nourishing styling aid/leave in conditioner that works well when used sparingly on dry or damaged hair. otherwise it will weigh down the hair. also good to use just on dry ends, for otherwise normal hair. nice, natural smell.shine 'n' lite groom: basically a lighter version of the silk groom. should also be used sparingly. works especially well on coarse, as opposed to fine hair. otherwise, you may find it too heavy.leave-in conditioner: this is one product I buy regularly, because it is never too heavy for my hair (like the above two can be). Like the above, however, a little goes a long way, so should be used in small doses, before blow drying or exposure to sun. has sunscreen in it.lecithin and coconut hair masque: fantastic! leave it on for an hour and your hair will be like silk when you rinse! this stuff is really price-y $44/8 oz. but very good as a deep conditioner for dry, damaged hair, probably also good for normal hair, as it is not a leave in treatment.smells greats, works really well on my hair.intensive moisterizing repairateur: like the masque, this is expensive, but worth it. Leaves hair soft, well conditioned. I prefer the lecithin/coconut masque, however, because of its fantastic list of natural ingredients and oils. i think the masque is also more effective as a heavy duty conditioner/moisterizer. used regularly (1-2/week) I believe it really improves the overall integrity of the hair.hair/scalp massage oil: this stuff is supposed to stimulate the scalp, promote hair growth, healthy hair. it feels pretty nice, but it very hard to wash out. didn't otherwise seem to do much for me.hope this helps! :)
