I saw their Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle conditioner in a magazine a few years ago as a recommendation for a deep conditioner for kinky textured hair. Has anyone tried that product? I may just give Davine's a try. I heard that Davine’s products work well on kinky hair.

I dont need to use anything else - I apply the conditioner and let it sit on my hair while I shower. After that I comb out my hair and rinse, voila I'm done and my hair is soft and moisterized. You can find the company at http://www.madefromearth.com/ I am concerned about parabens and chemicals so I use the Made from Earth Peppermint conditioner as a substitute for many things in the shower. I use this instead of shaving creams always, my legs, and arm pits are grateful. I am big on exfoliating and in winter after I shower, I add baking soda to the Made from Earth conditioner and apply it all over my body in a circular motion (paying attention to elbows, knees, hands, and feet) then do my final rinse. I do this once a week and I follow with shea butter or Extra Virgin Olive oil and this keeps my extra dry winter skin super soft, without chemicals and parabens. And it smells great, so no need for body sprays afterwards. Hope this helps. I use only one conditioner – the Peppermint Herbal Conditioner from Made from Earth.

It is a NIGHTMARE for curly hair lol. Why the flakes? I'll never understand. I worked for Lush over the holidays and I tried almost all the hair stuff. If you're looking for a good liquid 'poo try Cynthia Sylvia Stout. It smelled like Guiness but it worked wonders for my hair. One huge money saving tip for you Lushies out there; Order most of your products from the UK site. I usually buy soap and meltable items in store and then buy skincare and haircare online. Even with shipping you'll end up saving a load of money. Here's this thread at the US Lush forum to help you out. You many need to register to view it. Hope this helps :) http://forum.lush.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=114329&st=0&sk=t&sd=a I agree with Newly Nappy about the Curly Wurly! It is a NIGHTMARE for curly hair lol. Why the flakes?

It helps that I pre-poo with olive oil. :> When I co-wash, I just use V05 conditioners because I usually do so everyday, it seems to make no sense to me to spend a lot of money on conditioners.

Tea tree(scal issues), lavendar and fig are the three choices. My hair is shiny, moisturized and the color stays in longer(non-stripping). Ordered from QVC.
