Okay, I've tried both Aubrey Organics products-GPB Balancing Conditioner and Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner. I was expecting a WOW, but the results were just okay. I did an overnight deep condition with the Honeysuckle Rose with a little olive oil. I mean it didn't make my hair hard, I just didn't experience any significant change with my hair once I rinsed it out. The same with the GPB Protein conditioner, felt about the same. I was hoping these could be my holy grail, but NOT.
I really don't want to be a PJ because it can get expensive as both of these conditions cost between $8-$10 at wholefoods. Right now in my natural journey (long term transitioner) no perm since May 2008, the only staple products I'm going to keep using are:

Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel-love it
Giovanni Direct Leave In-love it
Oyin Honey Hemp-nice
JBCO-Jamaican Black Castor Oil-great
Deva Curl Set It Free-love it
Herbal Essence/Hello Hydration-love it-better than Suave!

I guess what's missing is a great DEEP CONDITIONER. I have used Patene Deep Conditioner and it was better than Honeysuckle Rose. Any suggestions??

sorry to hear that it didnt work for you, AOHSR is my HG. But hey everything doesnt work the same for everybody.

What are you looking for in a deep conditioner?

by Miz B 13th December 2009, 11:07 pm

thanks, yeah you're right! this is what i'm learning, everyone's hair craves certain things. i just don't wanna go broke trying to figure it out! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] uuuum...what i'm looking for in a deep condition? i would hope moisture and softness. right now i'm experiencing alot of shedding, that could be for many reasons. i don't think i will be purchasing any new products. your hair is awesome! how long have you been natural?

Thanks, Ive been natural since 2005.

I know what you mean about going broke, when I first went natural I definitely spent a LOT of money trying things! Im not sure if you are into products with mostly natural ingredients but Redken Real Control Intense Renewal Moisturizing Mask, Jessicurl Weekly Deep Treatment, Joico Intense Hydrator, as well as Joico K-PAk Deep Penetrating Reconstructor (if youre looking for protein) are all good.

Im sure more people will post with more recs.

@NylaColis-thanks for the info, I will check it out!

by Miz B 13th December 2009, 11:40 pm

ooooh-I remember using Joico when I was relaxed and it was great! May have to go back:) I think I had Jessicurl Weekly Deep treatment on my list but somehow I got overwhelmed with what to try! I'm going to keep track of how my hair reacts to certain products. I may need protein because I don't eat red meat. Thanks again curlies!

I kinda felt the same way. I do really like GPB, but HSR was just okay. I think I might like White Camelia (sp?) better.

@MizB: Have you thought about taking a cheapie condish like Suave Tropical Coconut and adding olive oil and honey to it? Towards the end of my transition, I did that and I had great success with it. It is very inexpensive. As a matter of fact, after I'm done doing all this experimenting, I think I'm going to go back to that (and ORS Replenishing Paks).

i noticed the more i used aohr as a co-wash, the more of a wow factor i had. then again, the wow factor prolly is because of my added dc.

by kinksncoils 14th December 2009, 12:27 am

I tried the AOHSR yesterday for the first time too, and wasn't very impressed. Today, my hair was kind of hard actually. I dont' know why. I may give it a couple more tries but I was expecting soft hair afterwards but the next day that was not the case.

by Miz B 14th December 2009, 2:05 pm

@traveljunkie-i do have some suave coconut conditioner but that's just OKAY TOO! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] i actually like herbal essence hello hydration better. i've never tried to add honey; i've added olive oil to many of my conditioners. thanks! i will try adding honey and see what happens.

Yesterday I used AOHR as a deep conditioner with coconut oil and honey and my hair felt fantastic. Alone, not so much...

by BlondeByDesire 14th December 2009, 2:56 pm

I have the AOHSR and didn't have the wow factor either. Right now I'm using it on dry hair with olive oil as an overnight DC - I need to use it up. I was told to try the White Camilla (which I have yet to purchase) but it's on my list. I keep walking past the honey in the supermarket - I need to just go ahead and pick some up. I'm color treated and need to keep my hair moisturized.

by Miz B 14th December 2009, 4:09 pm

@BlondeByDesire-Thats a good idea! Yeah, I need to use mine up too, no need in wasting money! I can use it on dry hair as an overnight and include honey and olive oil. I agree, since you are color treated condition, condition, condition is key.

I tried the honey suckle rose & it left my hair feeling hard & straight (tried as rinse out & deep conditioner).. I also tried the white camelia shampoo & conditioner which left my hair feeling worse & dryer than the honey suckle rose.

The most moisturizing conditioner I've tried yet was V05 Moisture Milks - $1.

For those of you that really like AO conditioners, how do you use it? Do you use it on dry hair before you co-wash, after you co-wash or as a co-wash? I'm just wondering if how you use it makes a different in its performance...

I recently purchased the AO HSR conditioner to use as a deep conditoner after a bentonite clay mask on my scalp and hair. I applied it after the mask with a cap and sat under my dryer for about 25 min's. I noticed a difference in my hair texture (softness; I'm pretty sure this also had to do with the clay). About 4 days later tried again in the shower after detangling with suave coconut. I rinsed w/ cold water but left a little in; again pretty soft. I might try some of the other AO conditioners when I'm done with this one. Not sure if I'm in love with the smell.

I use AO White Camellia, Island Naturals and Honeysuckle Rose as leave in conditioners. I have used GPB on both dry and wet hair for protein. I love them all. My hair loves thick, creamy moisturizers.

Hmm...I'll put that on my list of things to try!
