Dawn.. I want to tell you what I did yesterday and today and achieved some great results. I oiled my hair down last night with Aveda's beautifying oil. I intended on washing my hair this morning, but one thing led to another..like yardwork etc. that a shower wasn't the thing to do yet. So..it ended up that I kept the oil on for almost 24 hours. I buy Nature's Gate for my husband to use and yesterday I had finally found the conditioner (herbal). So, wanting a change this time, I tried it out. The combo was great..my hair is so super soft. All afternoon I haven't been able to keep my hands off my hair.. I actually liked the smell of the conditioner. It is quite an emollient. I think with the pre-oil treatment and the nature's gate worked very well together.. you may want to try some oil in combination with it. I still will stick with my Aveda line but a change every now and then is beneficial. I had to tell you I am impressed with the Nature's Gate products. You mentioned you were onto some jojoba line? Is that also from Nature's Gate? I plan to use my Curessence every 2 weeks as a deep conditioner with the shower cap.. I also plan to sneek alittle Nature's Gate from the hubby every now and then also.. It's a great product for the buy.. I can see now why you have stuck with it so faithfully.. Cheryl

Hey Cher!So great to hear from you! I'm pleased that you liked the Nature's Gate. To tell you the truth, I'm just in love with the smell of the stuff and that's a big reason why I stick with it so faithfully. Its wonderful aromatherapy which is a big issue for me regarding shampoos. I love all things herbal and I want my hair to smell REALLY good, and I find that the original herbal conditioner stays with my hair right through till the next shampoo. Even in small amounts, I really try to stay away from anything that has any silicones, dyes (the FD&C stuff), urea, or alcohols and the Nature's Gate fits the bill in all those areas. It's got quite a compilation of herbal ingredients, rosemary, cherry bark, lots of wonderful things. Though I have always used the original herbal with its complimentary conditioner, I have recently become totally enthralled with the jojoba shampoo and its conditioner. I bought it for my husband too, but he prefers the keratin and aloe varieties so I figured I'd try it and oh how soft it has made my ends, especially the way I beat it up in the summer, lots of sun, sweat and swimming. I'm sure you'll like the jojoba variety too, especially along with the deep conditioning of the Beautifying Oil. I'm going to scarf some of the Keratin next time and maybe try the aloe too. I'll let you know how I like them.For Carol, Nature's Gate is a nice inexpensive brand with all natural ingredients that's available at most health food stores I believe, though I get mine right at the local grocery store. Its about $5 for a 16 ounce bottle which I like because I don't have to worry about how much I use, especially conditioner. Even with my hair, washing every other day (and I squirt out a BIG handful, maybe two or three handfuls of conditioner) it still lasts the better part of a month, about three weeks I guess.Good luck with your experimenting everyone, I love reading all your stories!Thanks and best wishes to all!Dawn
