Bonne soirée notre petite amie Suzie Q. Vous qui vie dans la province d`amour.
Cheap stuff can be Herbal Essences from the drug store.
I prefer stuff like Biolage which is more money but worth every penny. Lánza makes a good product. Aveda is still my favorite in all. ( Aveda is very expensive). It really depends on your hair type.

I find the Phytothérathrie (Phytologie) products to excellent and you can order them from the marketplace on this web site.
I have some clients that really love Aubrey Organics. However, some find them a bit heavy for their hair so it depends on your hair type. They are 100% natural products and I do like the Blue Green Algae Hair Mask. Here is a site with excellent prices on their products:

For conditioning, I have been getting terrific results with monoi oil. Here is a fine source for it:

Good luck and I hope you find something that works really well for you. ;)

I can second the monoi oil comment. I think it is a terrific conditioner and it has done wonders for the four people I know that have used it. One had a perm that had severely dried her hair out and the monoi oil made a HUGE difference in the condition of her hair. I used to recommend jojoba oil (and I still use it on occasion) but find monoi works even better.
You may be able to find it in a health food store near you, that is where I find it here. It is worth the search.
You might check the Alternative Therapies board, Merlin posted several conditioning recipes using home products that work very well (I`ve tried a couple of them.)
Good luck and happy conditioning. ;)

Another source to buy Monoï oil is at Yves Rocher Company.
They sell a 100 ml bottle for $14.00 ( full price) but they often offer
products at special price. ( Monoï de Tahiti, traditional gardenia oil )
(CDN price)
