Probably! I have a conditioner that’s all-that-stuff free and it no longer grosses me out to touch.

And thank goodness because I have big, curly, loooong hair

Thanks for replying. What conditioner do you use?

This is going to sound crazy, but I use Suave Essentials Wild Cherry Blossom. It’s like 1 or 2 bucks a bottle and thank goodness because I have to use half a bottle when I wash my hair. What I used to spend…

I found it through the Curly Girl approved products list. Here’s a copy-paste of the entire ingredients (in case someone more knowledgeable comes along to tell me it has stuff in it I didn’t know was bad for me).

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Fragrance (Parfum), Lactic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, PEG-150 Distearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Juice, Benzyl Alcohol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Red 33 (CI 17200), Yellow 5 (CI 19140).

The Curly Girl site I use says that the methyl ingredients can cause itchiness in a sensitive scalp so keep that in mind if you try it.

+1 for Curly Girl method being mentioned.

It’s unfortunately named since this is good for anyone, not just women. Have been using various “free” products for about 6 or 7 years now and my hair always feels great and all the natural waviness of my hair came back.
