ITA!!! I just stalked up on some more of that expensive Mizani. I still have that Optimum but I ... just ... can't ... put ... it ... in ... my ... hair

Girl, I know that's Right! Throw that mess out!jk........

The Consistency was like: Ew.

Definitely SO Not the Same. Even if the 'ingredients' are supposedly better, the overall performance, smell, consistency was just not "the same"

I don't know how I managed to use that stuff up.

Since I'm in the Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge after I used it up, I immediately restocked the Mizani

 

[LaidBak]

Very simple:

*Cantu shampoo, condish, leave in, and oil sheen (for weaves)

*Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil

*Now Coconut Oil

?? We're looking for products that are similar to each other in ingredients, results, smell, texture, etc.

ORS Hair mayo (new formula) = Toque Magico Emergencia (old formula w/ collagen)

I find the ORS is a little thinner than Emergencia but the results are almost identical.

Helps put back the elasticity in my hair. I use as pre-poo. I'm so glad I realised this, I can't find emergencia locally anymore, plus they went and changed their formula.

 

[LovelyLionessa]

Miracle 7 leave-in = Lacio Lacio original formula, Miracle 7 has similiar ingriedients, plus additional nutrients, and works great for rollersetting
CHI Silk Infusion = Cowboy Magic Detangler & Shine, their ingriedients are virtually identical, and I prefer CM's gentle scent to CHI's men's cologne fragrance
Garnier Brillantine Shine Wax = Aveda Humectant Pomade, I prefer the Garnier, it has greater hold, plus its cheap!

 

[Esq.2B]

Fantasia IC Reconstructor = Aphoghee 2 min (old formula)

I didn't even notice it until I used the Fantasia. Very impressive results.

Then when I compared the ingredients, the first 5 ingredients are identical except the Fantasia also has Castor Oil listed in the first 5.

KeraCare Humecto Creme Conditioner

Water, Glycerin, Dimethicone Copolyol Isostearate, Polyquaternium-32 (and) Mineral Oil, Quaternium-80, Pathenol, Dimethicone, Extracts of: (Nettle, Pine, Burdock, Chamomile, Marigold, Rosemary, Ivy, Arnica, Lime, Corn Flower, Wild Chamomile, St. John's Wort, Water-cress, and Garlic), Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) Methylisothiazolinone

Motions Moisture Plus

Aqua , Mineral Oil Paraffinum Liquidum , Polyquaternium-32 , Glycerine , Quaternium-80 , Dimethicone PEG-7 , Isostearate , Dimethicone , Panthenol , DMDM Hydantoin , Amyl Cinnamal , Benzyl Salicylate , Butylphenyl Methyl Propional , Linalool , Parfum Fragrance

Motions Moisture Plus (tub) has similar base ingredients to Kera Care Humecto (tub). Humecto has additional nutrients or natural ingredients. Motions 80 ounce tub cost ($19.50) which is a lot less than Kera Care Humecto tub. You get more "bang" for your buck. It works fine alone, but I tweaked it by adding oil(s) or butters to it, and it gives me the same results as my Verifen Complex Advanced Conditioning Treatment. I was so shocked, I wanted to cancel my next salon appointment, because the results lasted for weeks. I just couldn't get over it.

Silk Elements Luxury Moisturizing Conditioner has the same ingredients as Proclaim Aloe and Shea Butter Moisturizing Conditioner, except Proclaim has shea butter in it. Silk Elements 32 ounce bottle gives you more for your money, especially if bought on sale at Sallys ($5.99)

Idk why I thought the ingredients were a closer match. I purchased the small pack before I purchased the bottle. :scratchch: Now I'm wondering if I should purchase another small pack to compare the ingredients on the pack to the bottle. erplexed

At any rate, to answer your question yep, it appears that there's mineral oil in the Fantasia. It performs EXACTLY the same though. I love it.

I added the ingredients to both above in the red font, and they surely do appear to be similar.

I LOVE the SE Megasilk! It looks like the Loreal is cheaper .

Have you tried both? Do they work the same/similar?

Moisture Motions Plus is my major secondary conditioner. It works very good!

I'm describing the 32 ounce bottle of Silk Elements Luxury Moisturizing Conditioner.

You can always buy the Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturizing Treatment for the sale price of $6.99 at Sally's. This is the large container: 16 ounces (454 grams).
