I've been reading about everyone raving about textureline smoothing shampoo and conditioner and I've used it but it never seems to be moisturizing enough. My hair is extremely damaged, especially in the back where it's more wavy (the front is more straight)and it still gets tangled and frizzy. I've read the ingrediants on the kiwi therapy shampoo and conditioner and noticed there's a lot more oils in it and wondered if this was a better choice. I do color my hair, which is part of the reason why it's so damaged. Both are very expensive so I wanted to get some opinions before I spent more money again.

Hi,Funny you should mention the Kiwi. I am getting ready to write a complete review of it and I have used it personally off and on for about 1 year.I love the smell. It is so incredible. However, my hair is highlighted and I can only handle using the Kiwi shampoo about 3x a week. It is definitely not as moisturizing as ARTec's Smoothing. It is also less moisturizing than the Aveda Shampure.I would not recommend Kiwi to you if you have dryness problems. You could try it but be prepared for the fact that it may make you a little drier.I have a friend who has unprocessed hair and he LOVES the Kiwi. He also uses the Kiwi detangling spray, which I also use interspersed with Aveda Curessence Spray.If you decide to try it, get a small amount or buy it where you can exchange it.Of course all hair reacts differently, but I suspect you may find it more drying.Best wishes,Karen> I've been reading about everyone raving about> textureline smoothing shampoo and conditioner and I've> used it but it never seems to be moisturizing enough.> My hair is extremely damaged, especially in the back> where it's more wavy (the front is more straight)and> it still gets tangled and frizzy.

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)

I found the Kiwi to be more drying but do love the aroma. I alternate it as Karen does & it works well for me. My hair is color processed - so it is dry too.Pamela> Hi,> Funny you should mention the Kiwi.
