As I mentioned before, I've been on a quest for a new (hair) conditioner ever since John Frieda discontinued my favorite one. It's most difficult with fine hair to find the perfect one, it has to be very light but also really has to detangle. Ever since I read an article about silicone and the build-up it causes, I've also been interested in finding a natural silicone free product.
Korres is a Greek brand that makes all natural products of herbal origin. I picked their Acacia Milk conditioner. It was billed to "untangle the hair without any build-up effect" and is free of: mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol and ethanolamine. I'm not sure what all of those are, but I guess they must be bad. And it's also enriched with active plant extracts. So, the results - - very good! It seemed to wash out clean in the shower, not leaving my wet hair waxy feeling like most cheap drug store brands do. Often times when a conditioner washes out well, then I can't comb through my hair - - but with this one I could! Now that my hair is dry it feels great, not weighted down and has a light scent that is unusual, but not bad unusual. (is that what acacia smells like?) So it was a great experiment. I'm glad, because it sucks to buy a $17.50 conditioner and hate it! I'd like to try their shampoo now too. I think I'll alternate between my Fresh shampoo and conditioner and Korres now.
They also make skin care products. You can find their products at Sephora and Beauty.com.
