Should you use some kind of conditioner with this? If so, what kind would you recommend for fragile hair?

Hi Shiela, I found that even with our crummy hard water, it lathers very nicely. I work up a good head of lather and leave it in my hair for as long as I can while showering, then rinse before getting out of the shower. I find that I don't have to use a conditioner. Possibly the Jojoba is a good enough conditioner that I don't need anything else. You will just have to experiment.

I don't have fragile hair, so don't use any conditioner. But I think you could use your regular conditioner. This shampoo leaves my hair squeaky clean and I use lots of gel and spray.

I do use a conditioner as I've found I need it brush through my hair. I have really long (waist length) tangle prone hair. I just use regular store bought conditioner. I find that I use a lot less of it. The bottle now lasts 4 times as long. The shampoo bars last me 2 - 3 weeks (twice what a bottle of shampoo would).

I haven't gone without conditioner in.....EVER After using this with nothing else, just once, my hair felt like straw while wet. BUT after it dried SO soft. It was great. I'm never using anything else. Just don't brush your hair wet, which you shouldn't do anyway. ;)

I like to use a little Loma Pearatin Fortifying Repairative Serum after the hair is dry. A tiny dime-size bit (it goes a long ways!) in my hands and run it through the hair while my hair is slightly damp. Amazon has this, Loma Pearatin Fortifying Repairative Serum 3.4oz Sometimes, I don't use it, only when needed. When the hair is dry, can add a tiny bit to the ends of the hair. Hope this helps.

It works fine on my relaxed hair. However it is very heavy so I mix it in my conditioner and when its on my dry hair I apply it with a brush (perm brush) after I part it in sections.

I would definitely give it a try! I have tried lots of different high end shampoos and conditioners and I still like this the best...for extra conditioning and smoothing try rinsing out the conditioner for no more than 5 seconds. Good luck

You can surely use it! I've been using it since I relaxed my hair and damaged it. I leave it on as long as I can; a day or even two and then wash it off. My hair was feeing so dry and like straw and also breaking. This treatment has it feeling like real hair again. I'm super happy with it. I'm going to keep using it because I need this damaged hair to be decent until my natural hair grows back. Might be a long answer but I hope it helps!

I have fine hair. It works great putting a wave in fine hair. I'd just be careful about conditioner- the metal can fry hair.

I actually use it as a conditioner, but it's also great as a leave-in conditioner after. For optimum results (which I only do if I have an event where I need my hair to look great the next day) is shampoo, put it in, sleep in it, then rinse it out the next day. It's not greasy to sleep in at all, and it leaves your hair silky soft. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Hi Bridget I would lean toward protein conditioner. I have been using it once a week for couple of months mainly because I have relaxed and fine hair, fragile and was looking for something to reduce my breakage. The mask smells amazing and leaves you with a smooth textured hair, but my breakage did not reduce with the speed I expected. Overall is a nice mask, but a little too expensive for the results. But maybe is my hair....

I used a conditioner with it when I used it. I stopped as I found other products. There are many other new products that do the same thing for much less money and frequently with better results. Look around.

This product is for very damaged hair, I love it and I recommend you try it.. They say use once a month maybe you should use it twice a month.. Dont leave it on more then 10 or 15 mins. and you need a small spray bottle..

I used a straightener a tiny bit on the other wig i got from taobaopit, and it make it a little more crunchy and split-end looking. Essentially, you could probably fix it a little (like 1 or 2 quick curls at most) but not much before damaging it.

You really do not need conditioner.It is an all in one.I like to let it sit in my hair for like 10 minutes after i use it to wash.It makes your hair so light and bouncy. It does help colored treated hair.

I also have very fine (along with thinning) hair. So far it doesn't weigh it down at all, and I've been using it for over a year. Normally my hair is very dry, but it's improved a lot with this. I've even stopped using conditioner for the first time since I was a teen (I'm 50). I guess everyone has a different experience. I hope this helps.

I do not believe so. I use Wen and feel it is worth the expense. Protein is good for repair, but this I did not feel a good protein at all. As well, you need to add moisture back to your hair. Too much protein will cause your hair to be brittle and break. I will not be repurchasing this product. If you want your hair to grow, I'd also recommend good nutritional supplements along with Wen and a good leave-in conditioner. One other thing, when hair is wet -- it is fragile. Use fingers to separate hairs and do not tie it tightly when wet as it will cause breakage. I hope this helps.

I use Biolage Detangling conditioner and I love it. My hairs rarely gets tangles and looks healthy and shiny.

No, it's a relaxer and your going to end up over processing your hair. This going to cause breakage. Try using a Brazilian blowout over it to strengthen your hair and loosen your curl.

I use my regular styling products and my curling iron, etc. I normally put a small amount of Nioxin conditioner on the top of my head, rub in and then I use my regular conditioner on the ends, I do have longer hair, so it helps to de tangle and give it a smooth silky feel.

Probably...but one thing I have noticed is that these oils make straightened hair look stringy and lifeless. I think the oils are too heavy for hair weakened by heat or chemicals. Give it a try but use a teeny teeny amount to see what it does first. If using it as a conditioner it should be fine just make sure to wash it out completely.
