Rusk Moist shampoo & Conditioner (review)

Sweetest Taboo
Recovering pjs might want to ignore this thread. I made one hair related purchase in June. :eek: I can hardly believe I narrowed it down! I brought Rusk's Moist Sunflower & Apricot Shampoo ($9) and conditioner ($8.95)

Shampoo: The bottle says that its concentrated so a little expands into alot when the water hits it. I used a little more than a quarter sized dollop. Just like the label says once I started working it through my hair I realized it was more than enough. It made my hair feel clean without feeling stripped. Ths smell is heavenly. Overall on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 9.

Conditioner: This is a thick, creamy, rinse out type conditioner. This also smells yummy. I could tell I was going to like it right away because it softened my hair on contact. I used two quarter sized dollops. It immediately made my hair feel soft and smooth. The directions say to leave this on for 1-3 mins. I put on a plastic shower cap and left it on for 10 min. I rinsed with cool water. It isn't the best detangler I've ever used though. I detangle under the water stream from the shower with a Jibere shower comb so it wasn't really a problem. Overall I also give this one a 9.

I air dried in a bun. The next day I was very impressed that my hair was still soft and smooth. Two days later I still had the same soft and shiny hair.

I love the Rusk Smoother leave in conditioner. I was just as impressed with these. I think I may try the Calm line when my NTM runs out. (runs out of thread before Mona sees this)

Yes I've used Nexxus Thereppe and Humuctress. As a mater of fact I purchased the Rusk products to replace my Nexxus when they ran out. I liked the Nexxus products however after several uses I started getting a film like coating on my hair that made my hair limp and dull. After a little investigating I discovered that the Nexxus products were the culprits. I had to do more clarifying than I like to when using these two products. When I finally used up the Nexxus I brought these. I like these better, although I will continue to use Nexxus Emergencee and Keraphix for protein treatments.

I use NTM as my daily conditioner:love:
I use NTM Silk Touch Leave in on my hair when its dry. When I wrap it and when I do my bantu knots. I use it every single day I :love: NTM silk leave in.
I use the Rusk Smoother as my Leave in when my hair is wet. I LOVE It!!
I usually mix it with Lacio Lacio leave in.
