The use of such products will make the hair "feel" and "look" healthy and shiny, but the molecular structure is such that it will simply coat the hair and offer no penetration to benefit the interior of the strand.
chia - since I grew up studying and using natural home grown and other home/herbals, and have continued to do so for over 40 years now I can honestly say while what you said may be true of some things I mentioned, it is not true of all of them, and for those of us who do not want manufactured goods, chemical goods, and other assorted things that can be dangerous to some people either in or on us, the home/herbals can be a very effective alternative. Also - ALL hydrolyzed plant protein contains MSG - yes the same MSG that can cause such severe allergic reactions in some people, so anyone known to be allergic should be aware and not use those type of products (sources - 2 good ones among many:
Blaylock, Russell L., M.D. Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, Health Press, Santa Fe, NM 87504, 1994. Schwartz, George R., M.D. and Schwartz, Kathleen A. In Bad Taste: The MSG Symptom Complex, Health Press, Santa Fe, NM 87504)
There are many many other natural, safe, very effective conditioning treatments you can make cheaply and easily in your kitchen with such items as honey, egg yolk, avocado, yogurt, rosemary, sage, thyme, mint and whoa - even vodka! OK, the vodka can be a bit drying but it is an old old hint for amazing shine and gloss for infrequent use - think photographs - hair stylists still use vodka in shampoo for models going on shoots. Besides, what's wrong with guys drooling and begging to lick your hair? Some of them will even pay you!!!
Wasn't discounting the use of such products Ma'am, but the molecular structure
of oil based products is simply to large to penetrate the hair shaft, but do have
a conditioning effect on the cuticle. Absolutely nothing wrong with using
natural products, but as with chemicals, many individuals also have allergies
to natural products, having never been exposed to something, one might
have a reaction for instance. Actually the stylists are probably drinking the
vodka behind the models back, simply using such as an excuse to smuggle
in a good buzz! :-) There are many tried and true applications and remedies
handed down through time, what will work will work. We have just become
used to reaching over and popping the cap to the shampoo bottle for the utter
convenience of it. When it comes right down to it, lifestyle most often dictates
the crown of glory on our heads. Be good to your mind, body and soul, and
your hair will thank you by looking good. As for guys begging and drooling
to lick your hair, never said anything was "wrong" with it, if fact, this is what
i said, (Though making him lick it off might prove to be just the beginning of
a nice shampoo and scalp massage surrender. And yeah, Dom's have hands
too, no reason They can't contribute to your happiness. Just convince Them
that it's the lastest in "mind" control. "i surrender, i surrender, oh yes, just a little lower and i'm sooooo totally yours!")
By the way, Santa fe is just up the road, Naturally!

Since i'm always in a hurry in the mornings, i tend to just tear through tangles in my own hair, which certainly harms it, and that isn't acceptable when taking care of her.
