Unscented hair conditioner? (1 Viewer)

[Ted Todorov]

I've been using Nexxus Humectress conditioner for the last 20+ years. Unfortunately some mega genius decided to reformulate their products and the new version absolutely reeks of cheap perfume.

Can anyone recommend a good conditioner that is unscented or as close to unscented as possible?

Thanks,
Ted

Wow - same here! If you look at the ingredient list the old version had "fragrance" listed near the bottom. Now it is quite near the top of the list. I guess I will be looking for another brand now - I can't stand fragrance either.

Thinking of trying this:

I don't know what's up with that idea, if they're going to put a scent they better make it a good one and this is a hard one because people's tolerance vary.

Joico is a salon brand that doesn't have much smell at all.

Update: After 8 years I have two suggestions - for people who prefer scent free shampoo and/or conditioner - JASON has a scent free version which is fine (thank you Marianne for the suggestion) and at ~$8 per container much cheaper than Nexxus. For people just looking for mild, reasonable scent: PeterThomasRoth (MegaRich). I use both: the PTR is better at moisturizing.

Meanwhile there seems to be a hatred for manufacturing low/no scent products in soup as well: for years our liquid hand soup was Ivory (mild scent, big/cheap) -- Procter & Gamble stopped manufacturing it. After long, unhappy search we ended up finding Kiss My Face fragrance free had soup - quality wise it is great, size (small), price (high) not so much, but at least it still exists.

Soup bars: Tom's of Maine stopped manufacturing it's sensitive/fragrance free chamomile bars. Have to start the search yet again (yes, Ivory bars still exist, but aren't as good).

I am truly mystified by the seeming hatred for low/no fragrance products. If anything there are far more people who want a perfume free existence now than they did during the 1980's or earlier, yet manufacturers seem to be avoiding them like the plague. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is they are switching to cheaper ingredients that smell bad and they need a stronger scent to hide their cheaper ingredients.

Yeah I just HATE smelly soups!!

Almost everything is filled with these disgusting cheep smells. I almost can't walk down the soap, detergent, or cleaning ailes. How about taking a nice walk in the evening and being assaulted by the disgusting cheep smell from Bounce sheets in every dryer in the neighbourhood?

 

[Alf S]

What is "cheep" and what does it smell like? I've never smelled such a thing.

 

[TJPC]

You know the smell you smell when there are lots of little birdies around? ....

Ok! So I have always had difficulty with spelling! Shoot me!!

 

[Alf S]

LOL!!!

Wow, and I thought I was vain.

I've got really thick hair, so it needs help. I literally just pick up whatever generic gel is on sale, never had a problem but the professional stuff is so much better.

Once in a while buy it, where a guy has been cutting my hair for about ten years, but at $25 for a small container, (I'm out, but appt. on the 16th , I'll post later this month what brand), it's a bit pricey.

I use ivory bar soap in the shower to wash everything including my hair. Perhaps I should mention I don't have any hair. Sure simplifies matters.

For some reason this is the only soap that causes me to get a rash!

Ivory Hand Soap was basically diluted Ivory Liquid Dish-washing soap ...

I use that "manly man soap", Irish Spring or something like that. Don't even use shaving cream, just soap up in the shower and shave, one product takes care of everything

I used to use Irish Spring and one day I really paid attention to the fragrance and I decided it was too much for me.

Why are you using soap? Real Men dry shave with a straight razor!

 

[TJPC]

NO, real men have beards.

NO, real men have beards.

Yeah, ditto to that.

That would be nice, but genetics have a lot to do with it.

Not a hair on my chest, I grow the world's wimpiest moustache. Would love that studly unshaven look, but not going to happen. It all balances out; Full head of hair, no male pattern baldness in my genes. .
