| Is it okay to use a conditioner that's not for your hair type? |

I don't see why not. The three biggest factors people have conditioners for their "type" of hair: (1) Moisture: coarse, curly/wavy, or Asian hair types need a lot more moisture than other hair types. That's why many curly products work just as well for Asians and coarsehairs, and vice versa. (2) Silicones or lack thereof: Fine hair types often don't do well with conditioners having silicone ingredients (under ingredients, cones will have "cone", "conol" or "siloxane" at the end of the word). These plastic ingredients tend to suffocate fine hairs and cause breakage. Coarse straight hair tends to do better with them though. (3) Color care products: the special something is mostly in the shampoo (using gentle cleanser ingredients). plus other color protectant/color enhancer chemicals. So it depends on your hair type and what kind of conditioner you are planning to use. HTH Anais |

The big concern is whether a fine hair conditioner is moisturizing enough for your curls. I've read the ingredients and this conditioner is LOADED with plastics (cones). Curlies generally don't do well with them because it can cause breakage. Then again, other curlies clarify often with apple cider vinegar rinses and they do WELL with cones. Try the Infusium stuff and see, but just be sure to clarify really really well. Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Cetyl Alcohol, Quaternium 18, Stearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Fragrance, PEG-2M, Ceterayl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethycellulose, Glyceryl Stearate, Oleyl Alcohol, Citric Acid, Panthenol, EDTA, Polysorbate 60, PEG/PPG 18/18 Dimethicone, Glycerin, Amodimethicone, Betaine, Polyquaternium 11, PEG 8, Sodium PCA, Sorbitol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth 12, Serine, Glycine, PEG 8/SMDI Copolymer, Gluctamic Acid, Palmitoyl Myristyl Serinate, Alanine, Oleic Acid, Behenic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Lysine, Arginine, Linoleic Acid, Threonine, Stearic Acid, Proline, Arachidic Acid, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone Or you could try the Infusium for Normal to Dry hair. It would be more suited to your type. HTH Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long
