Good Rinsing Conditioners:

These are conditioners that you can use instead of shampooing your hair twice. These are also perfect for "No-po" routines (meaning using conditioner to clean your hair instead of using a shampoo). What I usually do is wash just my scalp with shampoo, keeping my hair hanging straight down. After rinsing out the shampoo, I smooth in one of these lighter conditioners through my hair, and then rinse it out. This helps remove any extra shampoo or dirt, but doesn't dry out my hair. The conditioners here are too wimpy to leave in your hair and comb through. These will mostly just evaporate if you left them in, leaving your curls defenseless, but they're great for rinsing.

Alberto VO5 conditioners only. The shampoos are drying (they contain soduim lauryl sulfate. Sodium laureth sulfate, however, is fine).

Try any one of the VO5 condtioners in any of these catagories (as long as they say they are moisturizing). I choose by scent: Tea Therapy, Silky Experience, Moisture Milks, or Herbal Escapes.

Trader Joe’s Essential Herbal Conditioner with Natural Fragrance: This is an okay rinsing conditioner. It’s great to slather in your hair and rinse out again.
