I use Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut for my scalp wash, and Tresseme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner for my lengths. Both are silicone free. Though the latter is thicker, i actually like the suave better for my lengths, it makes my hair feel better. I never thought i would like as cheap of a product as suave, but ingredients wise its great! In beauty school they pound into your head how horrible drugstore shampoo/conditioner is, so i always steered clear of suave, esp since its only like $1.50 for a huge bottle, i figured it must be terrible for the hair. But when i actually looked at the ingredients, its better for the hair than the typical $17 paul mitchell, bed head, or redken confitioner. Expensive doesnt mean its better at all. Often times i have learned, just like some clothing brands, its expensive not because its any better quality, its just the name brand.
