Hi,
Just that really. Have been using curly girl method for years now and have always co-washed with tresemme naturals/ botanique conditioner. It was a godsend initially but now, 5 years in it doesn’t seem to do anything for my hair anymore.
I recently tried the As I am co wash and it was amazing but the pot is so small that I can’t justify the expense long term.
Need suggestions of what to use to give myself a break from tresemme for a bit!!
Thanks in advance.

I really like the As I Am One, but the cost is too much for me. I like the Wilkos pink conditioner that is about 80p for an 800ml bottle.

I opened this thread purely to recommend the As I am one. It's amazing. You can usually get good discounts from Look Fantastic.

There's a good Curly Girls UK group on Facebook with loads of recommendations to suit different budgets. Superdrug extracts always seems to get good reviews, also Garnier ultimate blends (delicate oats is definitely cg, but some of the others contain isopropyl alcohol so you have to check the ingredients.)

Also, if you are suddenly not getting the same results you used to, it could be that you need to do a clarifying rinse (ACV, lemon etc) or add protein or a deep condition into your routine.

Thanks girls.
I never really do a clarifying rinse, will have to look into that. I usually try and deep condition with one of the Shea moisture masks once a week, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I’ll check out look fantastic for the As I am and the other products you mentioned.

Tesco have some for about 75p. If you join a CG Facebook group there are photos of all the supermarket ones. I've just bought the Tesco raspberry one which smells lovely but haven't used it yet.
