I am tired of being a PJ and I would like to narrow down my shampoo, conditioner and leave in. Can you ladies help a sistah out?

So far I use: Generic Nexxus aloe rid shampoo, ORS deep conditioner, Jason sea Kelp for regular conditioner,Leave in lacio lacio and I would like to try Humecto and about a million other things but what do you ladies think? If you had to narrow things down what would you narrow them down to?
 
I am a recovering product junkie. I have narrowed my products to:

SHAMPOOS
1 moisturizing poo: elucence moisture balancing
1 replenishing poo: nexxus botanoil ( i am thinking about making this my ONLY POO)
1 clarifying poo: back to basics white grapefruit

CONDITIONERS
* nourishing conditioner: Salerm Wheat Germ Mask or Perfecta Pro Line Wheat Germ Hair Creme (if I can find it)
* purely moisturizing conditioner: DPR-11 or Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner

Leave In
* Motions Nourish or IC Fantasia with Aloe

Moisturizer
* Aphogee Essential Fatty Acids Oil Concentrate
* Carol's Daughter, MM

Keep them coming ladies! By the way how is Keracare leave in? Does it compare to Lacio?

Hey kking!!
I personally dont consider Keracare leave in as a personal favorite. I actually put in in my cats hair after I give him a bath. I love how soft it makes his fur feel and he smells soooooo good!!!!
But back to the topic at hand, I prefer lacio lacio. You really have to rub the keracare leave in to make sure you dont have white cottage cheese looking balls in your hair (my only gripe). Lacio lacio is ok in my opinion but not a huge favorite. Right now I am LOVING Nioxin smoother!!! Plus my hair is growing like a weed!!!!!!!
 
SHAMPOO-
Cream of Nature
Nexxus botanoil

CONDITIONERS-
Mizani Moisturefuse
ORS Mayo

PROTIEN -
Nexxus Emergencee
GPB
Mizani Kerafuse *****

LEAVE-IN
Mizani Thermastrength *****
 
heheh Lindy my thoughts exactly! Now Chaya tell me more about the Nioxin smoother, is it good for shiny rollersets? I like lacio lacio but I think I am open to trying new leave in's for my sets.
 
Clarifying Shampoo ---- Thermasilk Clarifying
Moisturizing Shampoo---KENRA
Moisturizing Cond.------KENRA

Pantene Detangle Light Spray Conditioner--Leave In
TIGI BED HEAD EGO BOOST---Leave In

Lekair Cholesterol Conditioner and Paul Mitchell Super Charged--for Deep Conditioning Treatments

Hi, I have actually used both and I prefer the keracare because it is more moisturing to me.
 
Shampoos: Aveda Sap Moss, Cream of Nature (Moisturizing)
Light Protein Conditioner: Aubrey Organics GPB
Moisturizing Conditioner: Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose, Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol (IMO the best cholesterol cond. even better than lustrasilk detangling to me)
leave in: NTM serum (may eventually change)
moisturizers: Elasta QP mango butter
oils: olive oil, wgo (wild growth hair oil)
 
I'm finally happy with my rotation.

The Elucence?

If I could find Elucence SOMEWHERE in the southern part of georgia i would try it.. but I can't.. so no. I actually have no idea what I'm going to try. I was thinking about a Dominican shampoo but I don't know. *shrug* Any suggestions?

yup! it sure nuff is. Forgit Elucence...I'm gonna stick with what I got...curb this budding pj'ism.
