Hand Lotion as leave in conditioner - anybody ever try this one?

Hi :)Last week at work we were discussing hair treatments and one of my co-workers who has her hairdresser's license (She also has many family members who are also hairdressers and her aunt owns a salon)recommended using hand lotion as a leave in conditioner during the day. She told me she believes even if you just apply it to the length of the hair, the roots will drink it up. What do you think? Has anybody ever tried this? Just wondering.PS. She also recommends using products with Aloe and Jojobo in them and not using the same shampoo every day, but rotating them.Thanks!!MariaRelated Link:Maria In Mass

Well, not really as a leave-in conditioner, but if my hair begins to frizz during the day at work, if I just coat my hands with a tiny bit of hand lotion and run them over my hair, it works to tame those flyaway strands.> Hi :)> Last week at work we were discussing hair treatments> and one of my co-workers who has her hairdresser's> license (She also has many family members who are also> hairdressers and her aunt owns a salon)recommended> using hand lotion as a leave in conditioner during the> day.

I have found an exceptional lotion in a local health store in Palm Springs called Seven Wonders Miracle Lotion that has like 7 oils in it (olive, jojoba, canola, etc.) and a ton of herbals too; it is unreal how wonderful it makes your skin feel and lasts very long. I had to try it on the ends of my hair one day when it was sort of dry and fly-away and it tamed it wonderfully - it was very silky and shiny looking, and the length was not weighed down by it. However, I think it does contain a cone in the ingredients and since I generally steer away from these things when it comes to my hair, I only put this lotion in once in awhile like if I'm going out and need a smoother in a hurry, which is unfortunate because it really is a great thing to use in hair (as well as smelling DE-LISH!) One time when I went with my husband to get his hair cut I asked the stylist who had almost thigh length hair what she did to keep her hair healthy looking, she replied that she just washed with this obscure shampoo brand and rubbed hand lotion on it if it got staticky - Nivea or curel, anything on hand but usually Nivea. I asked her if she was sure that's ALL she did...(hope she didn't feel interrogated now that I think about it) and she emphatically assured me yes, she didn't do anything else to it - that and trying to eat as much olive oil and vitamin E in her diet as she could. I couldn't believe it - to have hair that long, and that be the only maintenance on it. Some people have all the luck.........
