I really admire all the people who contribute to this board. All the information is the best! So here's my question. Can anyone recommend any REALLY good conditioners (ex. Aveda, Paul Mitchell, Artec, Nexxus, System Biolage, Redken, Sebastian, etc.)??? I use Aveda's Curressence, but I'd like to try some others too. While I'm here, can you answer 1 other question? What is everyone's opinion on leave-ins and styling products? I'm so confused!!! I want healthy long hair but I can't seem to find a good routine. Someone told me to conditioner my hair, then add a leave-in conditioner, then put in gel with conditioner. I don't mind doing this if it will give me healthy hair. But I'm afraid of putting too much stuff in my hair and actually hurting it. What's your opinion? Sorry for 2 questions.

Hello fellow Dawn!My first advice would definately be to go back and check all the wonderful hair advice articles written by Karen. She is truly the expert on the vast array or conditioners and styling products out there. Also, it would be important to understand the type of hair you have before you decide on a specific conditioning routine. Lori's curly hair needs a completely different set of products than my pin straight hair for example, Cher's very full thick hair requires different treatment than my very fine hair as well. Get what I mean? Once you define your type then you can proceed.For myself for example, I always just use a coordinated shampoo and conditioner (I use Nature's Gate original herbal, jojoba, keratin, the whole line really) and every once in a while a deep conditioner like St. Ives or some hot oil treatment. Since I've been using the NG jojoba I haven't even done a deep conditioning and have been quite happy. That's all, no other styling products. This is just what works for me. You're already using a top of the line product and should be getting some good results though. If you want to switch why not give the Artec products a try, Karen says they are great.I'm certain lots of other gals will be on soon to share their personal tips with you too. Find what works for your hair type and stick to it!Best wishes to all!Dawn

Thanks Dawn, where can I buy this Nature's Gate stuff? Is it expensive? Do you think it's better for your hair than Aveda? By the way, I have very fine, long, bleached hair.
