I confess, O Grand Inquisitor! My hair loves -cones as well, as long as I clarify often. I do the CO routine, and I try to avoid -cones in my conditioners, but I don't mind them in my styling products. My curly hair doesn't shine much on its own, especially at the end of the day - a bit of coniferous gel and it looks fab!

Hey Flaming Bunny and Kate

Guess we'll have to wait and see who else will join our little Cone Club... Since this thread's had only twenty-something views, there's bound to be more folks out there. They must be shy....

Soooo, which [ooooh, aahhh] dangerously cone-laden products would your hair cry without?
What kinds of withdrawal symptoms does your hair get?
Do other longhairs try to talk you into kicking the habit?
Any other details?

When I've tried using products without them my hair gets tangled and breaks off. I do sometimes use Australian organics lavender conditioner when I do a CO, which is about every other washing. That doesn't have any cones, but my hair likes it.

Reply #7 - Jul 8^th, 2004 at 4:42pm I've tried going cone-less, but like going bra-less, it backfires on me. Does anybody know how non-cone conditioners work? I could hever understand how they protect hair if they couldn't coat it in a layer of polymer.

I think that's the case with most cone-lovers.. Do you clarify with ACV or a clarifying shampoo? Anais

My hair feels much softer and silkier when I use them. I've also found that expensive products don't do anything special for my hair, I'm a product junkie and I've tried a lot of things but some of the good cheaper ones work just as well.

Ohhhh I agree. Weird expensive stuff is generally made of the same chemicals, but marketed in a weird expensive container.. lol
I still wonder how cone-less conditioners work.......... :S

I use them for CO wash only. I don't think I could
live without cones. One reason I don't think I have
too bad of a problem is I do rotation. Every other time
I s/c I use a cone-less conditioner. (Biolage, Dove, Ect.)
( I shampoo every 3-4 days). I also have been doing a vinegar rinse now every 2 weeks. Even before I started
doing that I didn't notice much buildup. Although my hair is fine it tends to get dry on the ends so it loves cones.
