to remove moisture? I co-washed the other day with Suave Milk & Honey. That stuff leaves my hair feeling silky smooth. Then I put on Aussie 3 minute miracle and finished my shower. When I rinsed it out my hair felt like straw.  I don't know what's in that stuff, but I'm definitely finding a friend to hand it over to. ------------- 3c/4a Current Length: Neck Transitioning Last Relaxer: 11/26/05 Current Style: Box Braids |

Maybe one of the two conditioners or both have an ingredient or ingredients that your hair does not like. I know my hair responds great to aussie products and ddta. Also you may want to try SalonCare shampoos and condtioners at Sally's- they are scented and great- i have been using then for 5 months now with great results.You can also doctor you conditioners up with a little glycerin and a little liquid aloe vera. Hope this helps a little. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

Or maybe the Aussie is just not a good product for YOUR hair. I'd stick w/ the Suave it that's whats being working for you so far. Through trail and error we usually find what's best for our hair. Hopefully, sooner rather than later ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

My hair responds well to the Aussie Moist Conditioner, so I'm thinking there's an ingredient in the 3 minute miracle that makes my hair say no way. It came free with the conditioner so I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks for all the advice ------------- 3c/4a Current Length: Neck Transitioning Last Relaxer: 11/26/05 Current Style: Box Braids |

I don't think there's any protein, sista. Here's the ingredients: Water, stearyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, cetyl alcohol, stearmidopropyl dimethylamine, dimethocone, glutamic acid, fragrane, benzyl alcohol, edta, melaleuce alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, tocopheryl acetate, melissa officinalis leaf extract (balm mint extract), panthenol, simmondsia chinesis (jojoba) seed oil, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone. A lot of those I don't know, but I don't think its protein. ------------- 3c/4a Current Length: Neck Transitioning Last Relaxer: 11/26/05 Current Style: Box Braids |

Looking at the ingredient list, I say that it's probably the high silicone content of the 3 minute miracle (cyclopentasiloxane, stearmidopropyl dimethylamine, dimethicone) Or the fragrance and benzyl alcohol which are drying alcohols. Cetyl alcohol isn't drying. Maybe it's a combimation of the two. Some people's hair (like mine) gets upset when in contact with too much silicone. The alcohol content of the conditioner is rather high, but I wouldn't classify it as having too much alcohol to the point in which it's drying for everyone without a doubt. Which would explain why some love the stuff, (their hair likes silicones). Do you usually use things with a lot of silicone in them? I tend to really shy away from that stuff because it leaves my hair hard and dry. |

Also... looking at the difference between the moist conditioner and the 3 min miracle... moist has much less dimethicone and benzyl alcohol. Maybe it's really just one of those two ingredients

Also but here is the ingredient list of my old bottle of 3 min miracle Deionized Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-12, Distearate, Cetrimonium Chloride, Extract Of Fennel, Hops, Balm Mint, Matricaria, Yarrow, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, Oat Flour, Yeast Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Glycol Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Chloride, Dicetyldimonium Chloride, Acetamide MEA, Cetrimonium Bromide, Sodium Lauriminodipropionate, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Lecithin, Safflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, DMDM Hydantoin, Phosphoric Acid, Propylparaben, Hydantoin, Simethicone, Propylene Glycol, FD&C Yellow 6 Did they recently change the formula or something???

I was wondering if they'd changed the formula. I tried to find my list of ingredients from online, but the formula was different so I typed exactly what was on my bottle. Maybe they've changed the formula, I'm not sure. I know that my bottle is of the 3 minute miracle 'DEEEEEP-For Dry to Damaged Hair'. I think your ingredient list might be for the 'Normal to Dry Hair' version. Most of the products I use have some amount of cones in them, but only one where it's 2nd in the list and my hair loves that stuff. I'm really not sure what it is my hair is reacting to. I just know to stay away. Thanks for all the help, Coco. ------------- 3c/4a Current Length: Neck Transitioning Last Relaxer: 11/26/05 Current Style: Box Braids |
