I need suggestions on a conditioner with really really good slip.
Ive been wearing wash n' gos for a while now and its about time for me to have my hair straightened so that my ends can be trimmed

Any suggestions on a good conditioner to help with the process?
I want to hopefully keep from having a lot of hair pulled out when I detangle and comb through it before it is dried and straightened.

Thanks!
 
I'm loving D' Fina 11 en 1 right now. It makes detangling my 6 months post hair a breeze.
 
In addition to Aussie Moist, also Herbal Essences Totally Twisted and Hello Hydration. AWESOME.

Hairveda Moist 24-7
SheScentIt Avocado conditioner (I LOVE both)
 
AOHSR and Mizani Moisturefuse are both amazing on my hair even though AOHSR hasn't been doing so great latley for my hair (I probably need to clarify):look:
 
OP that is the same question I wanted to ask last week. As my hair is getting longer my hair needs are changing. I have type 4a hair and I was using Neutrogena Triple daily moisture as a co-wash which I loved but it just didn't give me that "slip". The last few days I have tried Aussie Moist and I think it gives me a little better results.
 
I wanted to try that herbal essence hydrating conditioner but it had too many types of alcohol in the ingredients for me to try

Here is the ingredient list:
Water, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Dimethicone, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Cocos Nucifera Milk (Coconut), Fragrance, Glutamic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Citric Acid, Blue 1

Here are descriptions of the ingredients. Not all alcohols are drying, some are for moisture (fatty emollient) and good for your skin/hair. Feel free to google it for info:

Some info came from http://www.biracialhair.org/Ingredients.aspx

Stearyl Alcohol NF is a fatty alcohol used as an emulsion stabilizer and opacifier, adding body and viscosity to creams and lotions, and improving texture and feel with its characteristic velvety texture. It imparts emollient properties to formulations due to its absorption and retention in the epidermis where it lubricates and softens the skin. Useful in creams, lotions, and scrubs; it can also be used to increase the melt point and improve the texture of whipped butters and lotion bars

Cyclopentasiloxane (aka Cyclomethicone)
A type of Silicone known as a Cyclomethicone. Used as a hair and skin conditioner and increases slip in lots of products, including lipsticks, makeup, lotions, and conditioners [Gottschalck pg 491, Winter pg 179]. This helps the comb (or Denman) glide through our culrs much easier. It tends to have a drier feel than other silicones once it dries. Some sources have said it evaporates after it dries. I'm not totally sure if it does. This is one of the main ingredients in one of my favorite conditioners I've been using for nearly a decade. —T

Cetyl Alcohol
Common ingredient used as an emollient, thickener, and keeping the product mixed together. Non-greasy. Can be made from coconut fatty alcohol, or synthetically. Not found to be an irritant. Begoun (Cosmetics) pg 1264. Also used to increase foam, and to make a product less transparent. Used in a wide range of products, from hair conditioners to facial cleansers [Gottschalck pg 332]. Cetyl alcohol is the oldest known of the various fatty alcohols. It's been around since 1813. It is known as being a very safe ingredient, and is very compatible with other ingredients [Hunting (Conditioning) pgs 147-148]. I often use this as an ingredient to help weigh down my hair without being greasy or sticky.—T

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine
Used to keep product from separating, but it can also be used to add slip and conditioning. Made from Stearic fatty acid. Dimethylamine can be slightly corrosive and irritating if it isn't neutralized properly (according to my trusty Organic Chemistry text book, Dimethylamines are very alkaline [pg 983]). This comes in a tan, waxy solid. It's known to cling well to the hair without being greasy [Hunting (Conditioning) pg 395 and Winter pgs 491, 208]. —I have to say that this is in most of my favorite products that I've been using for years, and my hair is fine. I'm thinking this has been neutralized enough so it isn't corrosive and is conditioning instead. This ingredient often gives enough slip to a conditioner that I can comb my hair with it, and not need another slippery ingredient in the product. However, I'm going to put it as a "caution" so you can decide for yourself—T

Dimethicone
This is the name for a group of silicones. The heaviest of all silicones used for hair care, they provide the most smoothing effect, but is hardest to wash out [Beauty Brains pg 38]. Conditions by preventing water loss. Also used to keep a product from foaming. Used in a huge amount of products, from hair conditioners to makeup [Gottschalck pg 562]. Gives a velvety feel. This does not evaporate [Schueller pgs 174-178]. Dimethicones are considered nonirritating to the skin and eyes. The different grades of Dimethicones come in different thicknesses, ranging from ones that will quickly evaporate (Hexamethyldisiloxane), to the consistency of honey, to those thicker than silly putty [Schueller pgs 174-178, Hunting (Conditioning) pgs181-182]. Though they are thick, they still allow the surface they are on to "breathe", meaning that water evaporation still occurs through it, so they aren't very moisturizing [Hunting (Conditioning) pg 181-182]. Makes product slippery so comb (or Denman) glides more easily through your curls. —T
 
It All Depends what you are looking for. If you want it real Slippery, I thought: Silk Elements Mega Silk Moisturizing Conditioner was about as much Slip as anyone could possibly ask for.:yep: 100% Total Slip!
 
I have not been through all 3 pages but Curls coconut sublime condish smells good with great slip for me! I purchased aussie moist couple of day ago I may give that a try.
 
OP, do you have some oil at home? If you do I suggest you oil your hair up and let it sit for a bit first and then add the conditioner. That works really well for me because the oil provides great lubrication. You could also just add some oil to your current conditioner. I would use coconut or olive oil since they both can penetrate the hair and are good conditioners.
