These two items please :) I would benefit from both. I tried the cleansing conditioner but it didn't work for me. I tend to get a lot of build up from the conditioner only route, so I need a shampoo that really deep cleans the scalp. Oh, and I don't know if its possible at all, but something really foamy/soapy but SLS free would be really nice.

Since you asked, Karen, I do have thick wavy/curly hair. :) I used to flat iron all the time but I have been letting it dry naturally lately.

I am another Curly Girl. 3b if you have ever read Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey. I love your new conditioner! I rarely use normal shampoo anymore and co-wash regularlly. Would love some more products for curly hair. Perhaps a serum or gel without all the "bad stuff" in it.

I have really, really thick hair, and lots of it. I just had a trim so now it's waist length but it used to be so long I could sit on it! I lost weight when I cut my hair, haha.
I still have to use shampoo with the cleansing conditioner, but I don't mind that because I don't think conditioner-only washing could ever penetrate ALL of this hair without me using the entire bottle.
I like the idea of something that helps curls, my hair likes to wave out and curl up. I'd also like something like a pomade or hair gel. I have blunt bangs and have to style them each morning to make them look straight, otherwise they want to curl up and stick straight up from my forehead... not a good look! I need something that will weigh them down. Right now I blow dry then hit it with some hair spray but I know how bad aerosol is for the environment.

Something that my DBF can use to style his hair, and that I can steal to run through my fringe to keep it out of my eyes - when my hair is clean there is nothing I can do about my fringe, except fpr bobby pins!! Bad haircut decision :)

Awesome, I love that you want to tackle hair next.

I would love something for Asian hair, in particular, naturally straight or slightly wavy hair. A shampoo, or hair mousse, or some serum to keep it glossy, nice-smelling and sleek. Also please keep in mind that we (I speak only for the girls in South-East Asia though) shower many times a day due to the year-round hot and humid weather, and we wash our hair every day too (or for some girls, alternate days). The hair product cannot be too heavy or our hair will just stick together in a chunky mess.

Maybe the shampoo is in liquid form and can also be used for the body too? That would be so fantastic.

I have thick slightly wavy hair that I wash every day too. I haven't tried the new cleansing conditioner since it said that it really wasn't for thick hair. I would love to try one for thick hair.

I wouldn't buy hair stuff, but DH might like a really gentle shampoo.

I'm not quite sure what the best use is of them though. Another cleansing conditioner??? Hmmm....and how many gals do we have with really thick, or curly hair? I've been messing around with MSM and it seems to make my wavy hair super curly, which some days I really like.

Hair oils, and polishes sound good. I agree about the cones, it just makes my hair really limp and greasy looking, but a nice natural oil could work well. There are just so many possibilities that it's making my head spin- so this thread is really helping me to focus where I should put my energy.
i don't have problems with soy in most of my skincare, and i'm not as highly allergic as some, but i know that those who are really really allergic to soy have a hard time with haircare- apparently it's in most skincare and almost all haircare. However, that's not so much a wish for me as a suggestion for a group you can reach.

I would love a spray that makes my hair curl ("...well the straight haired girls, they all want curls and the brunettes want to be blonde..."lol) and a shine spray that isn't cones. Right now, i do occassionally use some cone- based scented body sprays as shine spray, but i hate putting lots of cones in my hair, because it can look greasy fast.

A long time ago, i would have loved a detangler, but find i don't really need one since i switched to the new conditioner...which i have wished for in other scents or unscented in the wishlist :)

i don't have thick or curly hair. half of my hair is straight and half of it is wavy all mixed together. my hair is on the finer/normal side of thicknesses, but i have a LOT of it.

is it possible to make a root lifter that isn't all weird polymers? sometimes when i want lots of volume, i'll use a root lifter, but i'm not fond of the residue/texture it can leave.
