Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose conditioner

I finally tried it after years of hearing about it on the board and I love it; It provided a lot of moisture and slip.

This stuff must truly be THE BUSINESS!!! To this day, I have never seen a bottle of AO HSR in person because it's always out of stock whenever I go to the store.

Hey there,

Do you mind me asking where you purchased this?

jazzyto · Mar 11, 2009

Well I have only used them twice so the jury is still out on the Aveda damage remedy conditioner and the dry remedy. The damage remedy felt more like a moisturizing condish than protein. my hair didnt feel stronger after the damage remedy. The dry remedy didnt seem to do anything. So Im on the fence with both of these.

Hi =] I purchased this at Ricky's (if you're in NY it's a prominent quality beauty supply store)

But you can easily get this on ebay or here:

Prices vary anywhere you find it so be sure to look around for the best deal!

and I'm wondering if you found an old bottle of White Rain or the new joint they have on the shelves now (where I believe they messed with my beloved formulation of years that was just fine)

My bottle looks like this....

BIG HONKING FREAKING WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG HIT!!!
White Rain Tropical Coconut Conditioner...
I FINALLY found this at my Dollar Tree...33% more free 10 oz bottle. I think someone was trying to hide these on the bottom shelf behind the shampoo. I almost didn't see it.. Baltimore PJ's

I co-washed with this. And I don't even like cowashing but DAMN!!!!! My hair was BUTTA!!! Comb slid right through it, no hair in the comb, good smell. SLIP LIKE YOU CAN'T BELIEVE!!!! I need to stock up...where am I gonna find more..OMG...I am panicking cause I only bought one bottle.

Dang, why did I see this :nono:

Now, I gotta go buy this...just a shame.

Hits:
Joico Moisture Recovery Balm
ORS Replenishing Pak (old news I know)
ALL shampoo diluted and used from an applicator bottle to the scalp only
Fantasia Hair Strengthener Treatment (a well kept secret from Fantasia; will literally save your ends if you don't want to cut)

Yea, I just started using an applicator bottle from Sally's too instead of an old ketchup bottle. Put a little conditioner in there also (COW method) and shake it up until it's frothy :grin:

Hits:
Redken Cleansing Cream
Joico K-Pak Reconstructor :lick:

Continued *HIT*: FHI Pink Iron

Unsure: Redken Iron Silk...sprayed it on two sections and it seemed to not have been as light a mist as I'd like...it didnt do any damage and it made my hair straight and shiny, but I'm not sure its a necessity or does anything special...we'll see when I use it on a full head of hair.

Suave Healthy Curls conditioner (got it free with my suave coupon). This stuff is so thick, it does a great job with moisture and frizz control. Plus its cheap!

Shikakai powder mixed with Aussie Moist as a cowash. This can completely replace my shampoo, and it leaves my hair so soft even if I only leave it on for a minute. Its really cheap too!!

Sour Cream. It really helped with frizz. My curls were lengthened a bit too. I expect better results after more applications. And its cheap!!!

How do you use the sour cream?
