[Cara]

great info! Thanks a ton!

Now, could you or anybody really, post some products and/or brands of shampoo, conditioner, and shine products that do not contain silicone or any of the stuff not soluble in water?

What about Mega Tek Coat Rehydrator?? I use that alot. Thanks for the 411. Very eye-opening.

I use the EQyss products on my horses .. I did used to use Cowboy magic and lazer sheen and asorbine and all the others - had shelves of the stuff. I tried the EQyss Avocado mist and the survivor on my horse and the same day I cleared the shelves of the other products (expensive trash can that day )

I use the EQyss on my hair, and now so does my friend, my mother, her sister .. and the list goes on LOL! I have noticed a huge difference in my own hair. I used to just scrape through 6 weeks between hair cuts before the ends used to get so split and dry and I used to hate combing the mammoth knots out of it. I thought about just getting the clippers out one day LOL!! I had my hair cut a couple of weeks ago (just to add some layers) I couldn't find one split end before having it cut and before that my previous hair cut was ........the 13th December 2005 thats the difference between using a product that just gives shine and using one that makes your hair healthy. I use the Mega-Tek 3 times a week instead of their conditioner and its just the best thing since sliced bread.

why didn't I know about these products when I was at school with yucky ginger frizz hair

Thanks guys I am pleased you liked the tread - I hope it helps in your quest for perfect locks

So my blimy little redheaded friend....how often do you wash your own hair and do you use the EQyss shampoo for that ????? Do you use Mega-Tek every time you wash your hair in lieu of conditioner? Do you use the detangler to get the knots out???? do TELL missy, heheheheh

I use V05, but I notice it has ALCOHOL in it?!

Hey, I think Pledge still passes the 'smell' test?!
*clarifier- do not use Pledge to pass the 'Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific' test!
'Gee Your (Shiny) Horse Smells Terrific', maybe.

Hello my pointy eared friend

I wash my hair about 5 times a week - sometimes everyday if I have been working on the farm and smell of cheval !

Wash - Premier shampoo and condition with the cream rinse.
3 times a week I use Mega-Tek and leave it on for about 3 - 5 minutes then wash it out. when its wet I put a smidgen (that a little bit to you folks) of survivor detangler on it and just comb it through. when its dry I usually spray some avocado mist on just to give it a nice smell & shine, I also find the avocado mist is good at keeping it straighter than usual. I went to a meeting once without using my straighteners thanks to AV mist

I am pleased I don't have a web cam as I have ridden Bailey and my hair is in a ponytail and looks a right mess LOL!! hardly a good advert for hair care

[blackhorse49]

Oh, I had a feeling it would be Eqyss. I know its good stuff and I use it too, but I keep looking for that fantasy product that is equally good but cheaper (dream on, huh?). My horse is big and has a lot of hair (and I love to groom him), so I can go through it pretty fast.

I don't know which one you are using Jess - if you can let me know I can tell you if it has anything that you should avoid in it
