Good cheap conditioner?

I recently have had to switch gears a lot in my life and unfortunately my budget has gone way down. My go to conditioner was the tresseme natural oil line (I cannot remember what the real name was, it had the green leaves all over it) which was replaced with the botanique line from them. It has waaaay more fragrance, the old one just smelled like argon oil and this one smells like they dumped a whole bottle of perfume in it. I have a small shower and it's so overwhelming just opening the bottle when I go to condition. It also doesn't really condition my hair nicely, my hair is more tangly than usual.

So I'm looking for a new one. It has to be under 15$ though, for a decently sized bottle, since I have long hair and if it's a small bottle I go through it really quickly and if it's 15$ for a small bottle that I have to go through every two weeks it defeats the purpose of it being cheap lol.
What are your favorites?

I really love the L'Oréal EverPure line. But I think the bottles only 8.5 oz?

I'm using the Dove Daily Moisturizing Conditioner. They have normal bottles and big bottles. It works really well to help make my hair softer and less tangled. It's very lightly fragranced as well. I don't know the price but I know its definitely under $15.

I agree with Leuca! The Garnier whole blends line is amazing. My favorite is the "Honey Treasures" scent. It actually makes my hair look and feel healthier.

I've been meaning to look up the Garnier ones, its always been hit or miss with them so I haven't gone out of my way to try it yet. :) I also love honey scents.

Dove has never been great on my skin so I'll probably skip that.

I've tried the ever line from Loreal but it's small bottles and only lasts like 5 hair washes, so that higher end drugstore line unfortunately is too high end for me right now lol. Plus my local store only has the ever sleek, which isn't my style.

But thank you everyone!

I haven't tried their regular conditioners, but I love Aussie deep conditioner (Moist). You can give it a try to the regular one :D it's super hydrating and an affordable price.

He's here on a budget I feel like getting products at to use this may be helpful I love OGX argan oil creamy hair butter it's a light hair mask I would more pollen and everyday conditioner more than a hair mask and I use it is my regular conditioner and then I use a pea-sized amount when my hair is damp very and prevent split ends plus it smells amazing and it's only $11 so you'll also be getting I hear conditioner and a leave-in treatment I think it's a pretty good deal and it has 6.6 fluid ounces and it lasts very long time.

You can also use the hair butter as lotion! it's one of my favorite masks really light weight but effective I also love the Garnier whole blends line and aussie moist even tho it's not one of the best shampoos and conditioners I find it very cost effective I have 3 girls with lots going thick hair and the large pump bottles last us a month with us washing our hair 3-4x a week

Mane n' tail conditioner.

I definitely think I'll pick up the Garnier one! Thanks girls.

But yaz and lia, be careful with mane n tail. It's meant to coat the hair to protect it, so it'll weigh it down and cover it in a coating of thin wax, which can make it take to dye unevenly, cause your products to be ineffective etc. Plus if it weighs it down too much you can get scalp and hair roots follicle damage

Have you tried coconut oil before you shampoo? My hair is past my butt, and this method keeps it shiny and healthy and frizz free for more than a decade! Jusy leave it in for 30 minutes before washing- I like to soak in the tub with my hair in a shower cap or wound up in s bun- then just shampoo and , if needed, a little argan oil afterwards if necessary. Best of luck!

I live in a cold climate so I can only use coconut oil in the summer when I can wash it off outside, but it's never done anything for me anyway, it actually makes my hair feel dryer and makes it frizzier since it doesn't provide any actual moisture. Olive oil or avocado oil masks are quite nice but I don't like to overdo it with hair oil masks since it fades my color quicker.

I bought the Garnier whole blends. I'll be Washing my hair tonight so hopefully I love it, since it was both bottles for less than 7$ lol.

Thanks ladies!

I like the SheaMoisture conditioners, they're about $10 but it's a good sized pump bottle and you don't have to use a lot!
