Why This Suave Conditioner Wasn't A Staple In My Relaxed Hair Routine

The Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner is a rinse-out conditioner that I've seen so many hair bloggers, especially relaxed hair bloggers, share reviews on. A lot of the reviews were good reviews, but they hadn't convinced me to run out to the store to buy the conditioner.

That is, until I needed a substitute for the Suave Natural Infusion Moisturizing Conditioner with Macadamia Oil and White Orchid. I ran out of the conditioner and went to multiple stores several times to repurchase the Suave Natural Infusion Moisturizing Conditioner, but to no avail.

So far, I've been using the Suave Almond & Shea Butter Conditioner on my relaxed hair as a pre-poo and rinse-out conditioner. With either type of use, I haven't noticed any difference in the moisture it provides versus other rinse-out conditioners I've used.

Pros

• I can use it multiple ways - pre-poo, rinse out conditioner, or co-wash
• Inexpensive for the amount you get
• It has a nice smell that doesn't linger

Cons

• It's only moderately moisturizing for my hair
• It has some slip, which can help with detangling
• Is a bit runny, which can cause accidental waste

After using it for several wash days, I don't see this becoming a staple product for me, but it's a good backup to the Suave Natural Infusion Moisturizing Conditioner with Macadamia Oil and White Orchid.
