What Are Your Favorite Drugstore Hair Products?

I remember a post like this somewhere but can't seem to find it. I'm going to experiment with the twist-n-curl, and I need recommendations on hair products that I don't have to purchase online. In particular, I am interested in curl defining products. Any suggestions?

When I do my twist'n curls I use conditioner, Herbal Essence-Hello Hydration. It helps with my curls and is only $2.97 (at least where I live) but nevertheless it is pretty cheap. When I un-did the twist that morning, I had coconut oil on my finger to help with shine and control frizz. You can pick that up at a grocery store. Good luck, I am sure you will be happy with the end results

Thanks LovelyCurls. I actually did my twist'n curl on Tues. and I love the results. I used Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingling Conditioner, and loved it! I used Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz to untwist the next morning. But I have Herbal Essence Hello Hydration on my list to try next time, because I have heard a lot of great things about that product. I need to get some coconut oil too. Thanks for the info. I wish I can post a picture, but I'm not very tech savvy. My avatar shows the side angle of the style, though. Thanks again.

Really cute pic. Glad it came out so cute. Love it.

Thanks LovelyCurls. It's looking pretty sad right now. I think I need to do something to spruce it back up again.

LOL, yeah i am going to attempt to do something to mines right now

HE Hello Hydration
VO5 for cowashing
Main'n'Tail Deep Conditioner
Organix Coconut Milk or Shea Butter Conditioner
Aussie Moist Conditioner (big bottle)
Giovanni Moisturizing Conditioner

I haven't done a TNC yet, but I use these to cowash and to do the conditioner only method.

John Frieda Root Awakening line.
I use the:
Nourishing Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
Health Boosting Detangling Spray
Strength Restoring Conditioner

They have some more products coming out in 2010, I can't wait to try them.

@sisterboyd, I've been meaning to try that HE Hello Hydration. I've been hearing great things about it.
@vintagenarcissa, I'll have to check into that John Frieda line

The nourishing moisture products in the root awakening line are a god send for me. The conditioner feels so nice to my hair and the eucalyptus and peppermint extract gives a nice tingly sensation. I love peppermint. And it has AMAZING slip. Even though I never used it for detangling. And the strength restoring conditioner has god to be the best leave in I've ever had.

What is meant by the statement that the product has amazing slip?

Amazing slip means exactly what it says - that the product makes the hair slippery to the touch. That your fingers kind of slide on your hair when you touch it. This mostly means that the products makes for a good detangler.

Oh! The product is a good detangler. Thanks.

@ SisterBoyd I mix HE Hello Hydration and Aussie Moist Conditioner together and I have been pleased with the results. Just thought I'd throw that out there since you use both [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

-also someone told me when I do that to add coconut oil to the mix and I will be even more pleased...i'll keep you posted

Herbal Essences Conditioners and Pantene

I'll have to try that LovelyCurls!

I've just finished transitioning (it only took me a year and my hair is a little bit longer than chin length when straight cheek length when curly [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]). When washing, I use Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Line. It has apricot seeds and three oils (olive, avocado, and shea) and moisturizes the follicule from within. The 3 minute Dryness Reversal Treatment softens the dryest hair (I suggest if your hair is really dry, leave it on longer- I do it for about 15 minutes). I also use Cantu's Daily moisturizer and Dr. Miracle's Hair & Scalp Treatment Conditioner (strongly recommended for slow growth, but only use twice a week because it can make your hair heavy).

**Hope this was some help**
