It's a bit early to call it, but I think I've found a replacement for the SM purification masque (which I thought was being discontinued, but can still be ordered directly from SM only now).
It's the Perfectly (Un)Done conditioner from Tresemme (which I found out about thanks to a great review by CurlyGirlJess on YouTube - she compared it to the original formula Tresemme Naturals conditioner and said it was even better. I wholeheartedly agree).
I used the purification masque only as a prepoo detangler. Nothing else seemed to melt the tangles out of my hair like this did, no matter how dry my hair was, or how long I went between washes.
But the perfectly (un)done conditioner detangles my hair equally well. I did a side by side comparison during my last pre-poo session (where my hair was moderately tangly). And as a bonus I can use the perfectly (un)done as a rinse out conditioner and as a leave-in (I've been using this as my primary leave-in and moisturizer for over a week. I ran out and got a bottle the same day I saw CurlyGirlJess' review. And my hair is loving this stuff). I couldn't use the purification masque as a rinse out or post shampoo deep conditioner (and definitely not a leave-in), b/c I dislike the smell and wouldn't want it to linger in my hair. But the purification masque detangling properties, for pre-pooing, were still enough for me to declare it a holy grail and go through many, many jars of it.
But considering I can get way more product for half the price with the Tresemme, I think I'm switching away from the SM purification masque. Which is ironic, because the Tresemme Naturals conditioner (original formula) was my holy grail detangler before the purification masque was. I only stopped using it after it was re-formulated, b/c it didn't detangle my hair nearly as well anymore. So it's fitting that I think I'm giving up the purification masque to go back to a Tresemme conditioner (which works better for me than I remember the original Tresemme Naturals working for me).
So I guess Shea Moisture just lost a customer with me (the purification masque was the only product of theirs that I loved and consistently bought).
Just had to make a thread about this, in case anyone else was using the purification masque like I do (primarily a detangler) and isn't interested in only being able to buy it online from SM (and not in stores anymore). And this thread is also for the ladies who gave up on Tresemme Naturals after the formula change, and maybe haven't found a replacement yet.
