how often do you use alter ego garlic conditioner?

[blessedandlucky]

i am almost 3 months post (approx 11 weeks) relaxer and have been experiencing shedding. i purchased alter ego garlic conditioner upon recommendation from the board (thanks guys!) and it worked wonderfully when i washed my hair last week. now, i'm wondering how often i have to use it to decrease the shedding.

if you've used it before, can you share how often you used it and if you're relaxed or natural? how often is too often?

thanks so much for your help!

My hairdresser (dominican) told me not to use it in every wash, so I've been using it every other wash to curb shedding and to use a moisturizing conditioner or leave in after.

I use it randomly, but was just saying I would use it for 3wks straight and then keep it in rotation every 2wks.

I was planning on using once every 2-3 weeks following a hard protein week.

Sometimes I will use it weekly right after a Relaxer for a Couple of Weeks to ward off any potential shedding. (Maybe weeks 1-3 post)

OR SOMETIMES:

I will co-wash with Nutrine Garlic Conditioner. (Weeks 1-3 post)

I have both so it just depends........

Keep thinking to get this, maybe I will order some tonight. Thanks for the reminder OP. Also it would be good for my mother shedding, so it gives me more an excuse to purchase. I haven't used this so I can't advise.

Where did you buy yours?

Thanks everyone! I washed with it tonight but will fall back next time. As a side bar, I used Paul Mitchell the conditioner leave in and it was wonderful. I didnt know what to expect. I used it after I deep conditioned with ao rosa mosqueta. I put it on first then sealed with Jane Carter nourish and shine. I think this may enable me to continue to stretch

Www.bluesbeez.com but someone things they may have been hacked on that site. Fortunately, I didn't have any problems. I'm on my phone so u can't link the thread but there is one abt the best place to buy the conditioner and the site listed had it at $17.99. I paid $35 including shipping but worth it. When I'm near a computer, I'll try to find it and post it here and pm you.

Price sounds good was it the 1000ml or 500ml? I was hoping it could go through amazon since I think it is safer, but amazon is not the seller of this product. Please PM.
Thanks!

Here's the link that was in the thread - Alter Ego Impac Ego with Garlic Hot Oil Treatment :: Alter Ego Italy :: Beautyofnewyork.com

I didn't order it from here, but the price is right. oh, it's the 500ml. i think mine is the 1000ml. not sure, it's upstairs and i'm lazy.
