The Best 6 Conditioners For Fabulous Slip!

It doesn’t matter if you are natural or relaxed, conditioners especially the good ones are a must have in your product arsenal. Personally if a conditioner does not have slip it goes into what I like to call the product 13 cabinet. That is the cabinet that has all the products with the fancy label and nothing to write home about inside the bottle.

There is an little known way to identify a conditioner with slip, simply look at the ingredients and search for emollients. Examples of emollients are Shea Oil, Jojoba* Esters, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, and even mineral oil*.

To help you along, since we are lovely like that, here are our picks for the best 6 conditioners that have absolutely great slip!

Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner – Tresemme is the old faithful, when all else fails and you want to go back to what your hair loves, most ladies will tell you Tresemme has the prize. Again, the formula is super creamy, and when you add it to your hair you can literally feel the tangles melt away.

Always keep a huge bottle in your bathroom cabinet for those times when you are on a product junkie hiatus because Tresseme will never let you down. Here is a great tip for detangling, always section your hair and don’t be stingy with the conditioner. Add enough to allow you hands to slip through your hair with little resistance with each pass as you detangle.

Trader Joes Nourish Spa Balance Moisturizing Conditioner – This conditioner is up there with the best of them, it is so creamy, so thick, its almost impossible to get the stuff out of the little spout. If you can manage to put a little elbow in it and get some out, you will have the best detangling potion hands down for your hair. The slip is amazing and the conditioner is also of the highest quality.

Because the ingredients are so amazing it can also double as leave in because it is free of cones, parabens mineral oil* just to name a few and it wont leave your hair weighed down.

Try this recipe for leave in moisture – A dollop of Trader Joes Nourish Spa, a dollop of shea butter*, and a little oil, mix well and use daily. You will not be disappointed.

Aussie Moist Conditioner – Another old faithful, we are a fan of conditioners that come in big huge purple bottles because honestly it would be a shame to have so much product that doesn’t actually work. Oh but it does!

This is a great conditioner especially in the winter time when your tresses are dry and just in need of some TLC. The slip is awesome especially for our natural ladies with type 4 hair and you know for us slip is an absolute must.

Add a little olive oil* to this conditioner and sit under a dryer for an awesome deep treatment, that will dial up the slip factor by 10 if that’s even possible.

Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner – Shea Moisture* is a great brand overall so it is easy to try their stuff without any sort of hesitation that you are getting good quality. This conditioner has wonderful ingredients that are a must have when trying to create slip for detangling.

The conditioner is not a co-wash conditioner per say but it moisturizes so well that when used as a deep conditioner* or just as a final conditioner it had to make it into this list.

Apply some generously in your hair, relax and then watch it work some magic on your head. Shea Moisture* does it again!

VO5 Strawberries & Cream – This little cheapo rico conditioner might fool you because of its price tag. Really who would think that a conditioner that cost so little would be so awesome for creating a slippery situation? Not to mention that it smells awesome! Savor the moment because strawberries and cream is all that it cracks up to be. If you are a co-washer, this my love is definitely the conditioner for you.

Use as much or as little as you want it will give you all the slip in the world. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has at least seven of these babies stashed away somewhere! Tip: You can usually find it for under a dollar at many drugstores.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration – Another sweet smelling old faithful, with its creamy texture Hello Hydration hands down is one of the best in the slip department. The conditioner is reasonably priced, it is easy to find in supermarkets and drugstores and it is a great one to stash for a quick one two detangle & rinse.

Tangles and knots do not stand a chance with this product, it is great for all hair types and it is a favorite among relaxed women as well. Herbal Essence is a must have.
