Same here. It dried it out really bad. The only one I did like was the Kiwi clarifying shampoo, but I haven't seen it in ages. I just looked in my stash of products and I have the Suave Humectant. I might to use it as a co-wash. I haven't had much success with co-washes. I get a lot of build up! Maybe I'm just using the wrong conditioners!
Whatever you do, avoid Aussie products!

Burt's Bee Brazil Nut and Raspberry More Moisture Conditioner.
Wow. . .IDK about that. Aussie Moist is a great, ULTRAAAA moisturizing conditioner for CW. Whenever I feel like I might have a little "battle" with protein overload, this is the one of the first things I bring out the arsenal. The only two cheap CWs I will cosign for are this and Garnier Fructis. HE LTR is okay . . . but I don't cosign it for everyone.
Try the Tresemme Vitamin E Moisture Rich conditioner.
Since you don't want a cheapo, go for Goldwell and/or Mizani. I alternate between both. LOL...they AIN'T cheap by any means. Even more expensive is Phytologie...their conditioners are VERY nice, but I perfer the other two I named even more.
FWIW, V05 doesn't dry my hair out, but then again I don't use most cheapos undoctored. I always add some sort of oil (usually coconut) to cheapos and then I mix cheapos together too. I've never tried cowashing, but if I did, I'd use Dove products. Dove and Sunsilk are two 1st rate cheapo brands I've found. Whatever you do, avoid Aussie products!
I always mix my V05 with EVOO or olive oil and honey. Never use it straight.
I'd have to agree about the Aussie. I love Aussie Moist and wish it came in an even bigger bottle. I don't care for Garnier or HE products much either but according to this thread, I'm part of the minority that actually likes certain V05s for cowashing. Some do contain protein and those you want to avoid for obvious reasons but the Sun Ripened Raspberry, Strawberries n Champagne, Passionfruit, and Calming Chamomile (the thickest out of all mentioned) all get the job done for me. No More Splits too. Since they are so thin, 1 bottle usually only lasts me about 2-3 CW's. Actually, any of the ones that say moisture or balancing I usually like.
I want a tubI buy the 33 oz bottles and reuse them because I love the pump.I love Aussie Moist too. It smells yummy. Wal-Mart and Target sell huge 33+ ounce bottles with a convient pump.
