MIXED CHICKS SUBSTITUTE

Herbal Essence line works great as a leave in. Hello Hydration or Totally Twisted. HTH

That's good to know because I was wanting to try the Mixed Chicks line but 1) it IS too dang enxpensive as Shay said, and 2) I have heard way too many mixed reviews to pay that much for it and then hate it!!! So maybe when I run out of my Giovanni stuff I will try the HH. I have heard pretty ,uch only good things about that AND Aussie Moist. And those are cheaper than Giovanni too. But at least Giovanni is under $10.

I used to love Mixed Chicks but now it's drying my hair out!!!

Good alternative leave-in conditioners, for me, are Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie or Deep Treatment Masque. They are both $10 @ Target and keep my hair soft and moisturized. The Curl Enhancing Smoothie has little to no hold so I'd recommend the Deep Treatment Masque if you need a product with some hold. Actually, I'd recommend trying almost anything from that line....great quality IMO!

I might give those products a shot. Thanks!

I also use the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque daily as a leave-in/moisturizer and I love it. The jar is 10 bucks, but usually lasts me about 2 to 3 weeks.

Shay, I have a bottle of the conditioner that I used once and HATED IT. I will be willing to give it to you along with the tight sample they gave me.

& I would be happy to take it!

**Happy Camper** (lol)

have you tried Giovanni direct leave in...its like $7 and the bottle (i think) is bigger then mixed chicks..its also an organic line too

Hey Rayray. Is that Giovanni Direct a creamy leave in? Is it thick or wet like?

I use Giovanni direct leave in and i mix it Kimmaytube style lol , and @ Kris it's thick and wet it has a pretty good consistency , i have tried the alkay's natural line the lemongrass leave in it's very water like and consistency and made my hair super hard and dy

as far as the mix chicks is concerned i have yet to use it i probably won't try it because it's way too expensive i like good organic products but i'm not willing to pay more than 12 dollars for any conditioners or shampoos lol that;e my budget limit

I have been thinking 'real hard' about buying Mixed Chicks but have not taken the plunge because of the cost.
But, love Giovanni Direct Leave-in!

I AM SOLD, ALL OF YOU USE GIOVANNI SO I'M GOING TO GO GET IT TODAY.

Ok guys, I just picked up Giovanni, I hope I like it *fingers crossed*.

I'm a little nervous...
