As your hair gets longer, do you find...

[Supergirl]

that conditioners with slip are more important to you? I used to not judge a conditioner based on the slip if I knew that it was a good product & doing something good for my hair. But now as my hair gets longer, I MUST have slip--otherwise the detangling challenge is just TOO big.

If I don't use a conditioner with slip, I at least have to finish off with one that has slip. My best slippers seem to be:

Pantene R&N
Elucence MB
Kenra Intensive Emollient

 

[jainygirl]

well...for myself at any length i have to have slip because if i hear one hair go "pop" i start worrying that i am breaking all of my hair

. I need it for peace of mind and the fact that my patience with detangling is about nil

 

[Allandra]

Heck Yeah Girl!

I've gotta have my slip.

 

[Supergirl]

Oh and

ION Finishing Detangler and Biolage Detangling Solution, but the ION is a much better buy( $3.99 as opposed to $10) and smells better too

YES YES YES!! I was thinking this the other day. the only thing that comes in handy for me now is the porosity control conditioner. It makes my hair that bit more manageable after a deep conditioning. I avoid a damp comb out by just putting my hair in a bun in the shower and leaving it like that.

LondonDiva - good to see you again

I agree, the longer my hair gets, the more into slip I am. After LUST, its the one thing I really do look for. Hmm, I should try mixing the Porosity Control with it

Not only slip but moisture. I need the most moisturizing conditioners available.

 

[Angelicus]

If I use something that doesn't have slip, I have to follow-up with a conditioner that has it: Pantene, Lustrasilk, L'oreal Unfrizz Smoothing Treatment...

To be honest, I barely comb my hair. I just use my fingers. So slip is an important factor for my choice of conditioners.

Me too. I was just thinking about that yesterday as I was detangling my hair.

My daughter's hair is neck length and she can use any conditioner she wants and never have a problem detangling!!

My hair is a completely different story. If I use something that doesn't give slip, detangling can be a total nightmare!!

 

[Honi]

Yes indeed. If I don’t use my Giovanni smooth as silk as a rinse out I'm in trouble!

I need the slip especially when extending those touchups!

Girl, as long as you've been a member here, I thought you knew what slip was.

When I say LUST (please don't ask me what is LUST

)provides great slip, I mean it makes my hair so smooth and tangle free that the comb just glides right through my hair. If you do a search on +slip, you will come up with lots of information.

 

[Lindy]

Mindymouse, you need a

How in the world could you NOT know what slip is???? If ONE more person asks that question I'm just gonna

(just kidding!!!) (Well, kind of!!!!)

 

[Allandra]

@ Linday. Girl, I hear ya!

 

[shinyblackhair]

Yes, slip definitely becomes more important. I'm finding now as my hair gets closer to bra strap that even detangling in the shower is a bit tricky. Kind of awkward, you know? I don't know how you REALLY long haired ladies do it.

How DO you it???

 

[Supergirl]

It is tricky SBH. I know that Hairlove & Allandra too (I think)wash, condition, and detangle their hair in 2 sections. I've tried this & it does make it easier.

 

[Allandra]

Yes, it makes it much easier. I don't think there's an easier way (for me).

 

[shinyblackhair]

I will be doing that from now on. I've got all this new growth too so I think washing and detangling in sections will certainly help. Thanks.

 

[Allandra]

ShinyBlackHair,

Please let us know how it works out for you.

 

[jrw]

I usually also detangle my hair in two sections. Sometimes I will also divide my hair in three or four sections to detangle it. Having a huge comb helps as well.

 

[caramelbarbie]

I find that detangling my hair in 4 sections works best for me.

 

[Guest]

LOL , sorry Allandra...

I do know what LUST is.

I've heard slip alot and just assumed it meant something that "makes your hair slippery" I just wanted to be clear....

See I was wrong, kinda. I don't wanna search slip I'll get a bazillion posts LOL

 

[sithembile]

I really need conditioners with slip because some sections of my hair's length is underprocessed which makes it difficult to comb when wet and leads to breakage.

I was wondering, does a conditioner with slip necessarily give moisture? Its just that I've started using LUST, and it seems to be more of an unfrizzing, silicone based conditioner, but I don't know how moisturising it really is. What do y'all think??
