^^^ I should go and read that thread because I am curious to know what a clarifying conditioner does as well.
Ogoma I used mine last night and it was good (it did leave a clean feel) but as I had it in my hair I went over the ingredients again and mine has dimethicone, that's why I had put it aside to begin with. Online I don't see dimethicone listed so I don't know what's up. It didn't feel like a silicone heavy product though....

co-washed with Desert Essence Coconut Conditioner. I :love2: this conditioner, but because it is in a tube I am so heavy handed with it. The 8 oz size is gone after only 3-4 uses.

Co-washed three times this week:
Mon, Wed and today. I find that all my co-wash conditioners have their own purposes. For moisturizing I definitely like the Aloe, lemon and Rosemary conditioner best. Claudie's mango rinse is good to kind of 'set' my curl and firm my hair up before styling. I also really like the clarifying conditioner. They're all good so far. :lick:

Co-washed out DC yesterday with TJ Refresh and co-washed today with TJ Nourish Spa. I think I have found my staple co-washers. Cheap, nice balance of moisturizing and cleansing, and somewhat easily accessible.

Friday I cowashed with my Curl Junkie Daily Fix. I know its a cleansing conditioner, but I needed to get some butter out of my hair and regular conditioner wasn't going to cut it.
