Which is your favourite DT?

Which DONT you like?

I’ma 2a/b looking for a Deep Condish suitable for us type 2s.

I was looking at: CJ Deep Fix, CJ Curl Rehab, JC Too Shea, JC WDT, DB Pumpkin Seed Co, CP Avocado..

What’s the difference between CJ Deep Fix and CJ Curl Rehab?

Finding a DT that is moisturising & hydrating enough for quite dry hair but NOT too heavy or greasy for type 2a/bs is fairly difficult.

Any DT recs would be HUGELY appreciated xx

I have just used the CP Shea Butter Hair Mask for the first time.  I am type 2 or possibly a bit of 3a (not sure) and I didn’t find it greasy or overpowering at all.  I left it on for over an hour even though it says 15-30 mins and my hair was not weighed down.  It felt quite nice afterwards.

However, I had just used the CP protein treatment spray so I can’t yet report on what it’s like using it standalone rather than in succession with that.  Good luck finding something that suits you! 

<added next day> But I’m not sure the Shea Butter really moisturised my hair because it dried quite frizzy and doesn’t feel that soft the next day.

my favourite is miss Jessies Rapid Recovery, my hair loves it!  i also have the CJ Curl Rehab and the CP Avocado, both very good conditioners but my Rapid Recovery has the edge over these.

That’s good to know.  I was looking at Too Shea so good to know your feedback before i bought it.  I think i have quite similar hair to yours by the looks of it (altho yours is slightly curlier than mine) and i do tend to get pretty dry, so i need a very moisturising condish, but one that isnt reeeeeally heavy & greasy due to it weighing down my curls/waves.  Its a tough balance for any co lol.  So it sounds like Too Shea might not be quite moisturising enough then.

Good luck with your PT - would love to hear what you think of it after a few days/weeks.

Thanks.  CP Avocado is on my wishlist so good to hear you like it. 

I decided on CJ Curl Rehab in the end - i guess mainly seduced by it’s Strawberry Icecream scent! - LOL normally i wouldnt spend £20 on a DT/Co, and doubt i can afford it as my main DT, but i fancied a treat and wanted to find out if the more expensive condish and styling products really are worth the extra money.  We shall see!  If i love CR i’ll get it again but alternate it with a cheaper condish.

Could you recommend any medium-to-rich conditioners and/or light-to-med Deep Conditioners that are a bit cheaper than CJ?  I was hoping for a Co that cost £12 or less (preferably under £10!).  Do you know of any nice ones MizzDee? .. or anyone?!

I’m currently using (and liking) Boots Ingredients Coconut & Almond Intensive Mask as my regular rinse-out AND DT - I like the weight of it and my hair looks great 1st day, but dry the 2nd day.  I guess there’s better out there? 

What’s everyone’s fav co’s and DTs?    xx

mine are :
Blended Beauty herbal reconditioner- I find this moisturises really well

Curl Junkie deep fix - I find this makes me hair feel stronger and thicker

curl Junkie rehab - I find it softens and enhances my curls

and have recently tried the Darcy’s botanicals mask, I don’t know what to say about this one just yet.

As for regular conditioners it has to be Darcy’s botanicals pumpkin seed, I just love everything about it!
the Curl Junkie daily conditioner isn’t bad either but Darcy’s wins it for me

Have you tried any of the Aubrey Organic conditioners?, they have a good range and some you could probably use as a deep condish.  I have the GPB Protein condish, which i sometimes use as a deep condish.  The Honeysuckle rose is popular with alot of curlies too.

+ 1 for Aubrey organics. Island naturals is nice too.
