Hi, beautiful. Today, we're testing drugstore conditioners. Previously, we had tested drugstore shampoos. I found some really interesting things while trying the shampoos out. It was quite mind-blowing and intriguing. If you guys wanna see that video of me testing drugstore shampoos, it is linked below, but today is focused on conditioners. We're gonna try and find a conditioner today that is very inexpensive and affordable that maybe I can approve of and be okay with you using. We're not setting the bar too high. It's way down low, but it's gonna be fine. I have four different brands right beside me that Emma snatched up from the local drugstore. How did you find these? Are these recommended by somebody? Oh yeah, these were like the most sought-out conditioners. So she did some investigation work with her little fingers and found the top four most commonly bought conditioners to hydrate your hair. Today, we'll be testing Dove, Herbal Essence, Tressa May, and OGX. All these conditioners I'll be using today are hydrating. I wanna see what the big difference is beforehand and afterhand on these hair strands I'll be testing it on. So hydrating seem to be the best and easiest way to figure that out. I'm excited, let's get testing and let's see which conditioner ranks supreme. Let's do it. Okay, up first, we have, we have Dove. Hmm, can you see it? Ooh, there it is. I saw this packaging in the last video, but it is 100% recycled and we kinda love that. However, it's definitely not the cutest thing in the world if you're going for like, oh my God, I wanna have like a chic conditioner. This ain't your thing. I do like the snap cap, really cute. This is cruelty free, which we love and support and we fully, fully want that in every product, please. This is 12 fluid ounces, which is pretty much average. That's a good amount of product, I appreciate that. This product retails for $5.29, very affordable in my opinion. Dove conditioner with BioNurage contains a blend of hair strengthening nutrients and a unique blend of micro nourishing complex that instantly smooths even the most damaged hair. Ooh, ah, is that true? I wonder what they put in here to make that happen. So the ingredient list says water. Some of us know that one. You know that one, you know that one? Well, you don't really drink any water, so you probably don't know. So we also have here satiric alcohol, which is totally normal. We have this long one that says steramidopropyldimethylene, which from our quick research, just a additive that makes water and oil go together and is also good for your hair and protects it. Fragrance, very high on the list, which we found last time too with the shampoo and it really makes the scent last in your hair. So if you like a lasting, really, really strong scent, this is your girl. So I also see lactic acid on here, which is weird because I know that's inside your body, but I've never seen it in a conditioner. It apparently maintains the pH level of your hair, which I do appreciate that. Other than that, we have coconut oil, which you guys know what coconut oil is. I don't really love coconut oil, but at least we have an oil in here. We also have arginine in here, which is an amino acid and that is found in keratin, so that's great too.  I'm actually a little intrigued. Okay, now for the smell tests. It's very overpowering and it smells like candy, like sour candy, which I love. I would eat this for sure. I just wouldn't want that lingering scent on my hair. Maybe that's just me, I don't know. Okay, let's touch it now. Listen, it definitely feels very slippery and smooth and my finger feels hydrated. It's not sticky, it feels nice. It's very slippery, it feels very moisturizing and the scent is obviously very overpowering, like I said a hundred times. Okay, let's test this out. So just to let you guys know to make this hair really, really dry and crispy, that way we can see how effective this moisturizing conditioner is. We wash this twice and done dish soap. So it is feeling really dry and nasty. We're gonna dip this in the water and we'll get a little ball up and we will comb this through the hair with our hands. The scent is in my face, it is there. I mean, the guys. It feels soft, it feels nice. So let's just do that and I'll do a little dunkeroo and get that off of there. It feels slippery and nice. Can't tell much yet, but let's move on to the next product. Up next we have, whoa, where did that come from? Herbal essence. I like the presentation only because the inner stuff in here is blue and I love a colored conditioner. I just think it adds to the experience and it's really fun. Other than that, it's a pretty basic bottle but it is a custom bottle and they have a little herbal essence on the top of this and I like a custom moment. This is a hello hydration conditioner, zero percent parabens, mineral oil. This says revel in lush aromas. This bottle is recycled, also dope. It's cruelty free, dermatologist tested, love it. Made with zero waste. I mean, it's pretty impressive. This is 11.7 fluid ounces and this retails for $6.29. All right, the ingredient list is very short. I did notice that. It says water, cool, again, awesome. Behentronomium chloride which is a pretty common ingredient that we use in some of our conditioners and it is an anti-static ingredient. Totally okay with that. Obviously, it's material alcohol, normal. We have coconut oil, which I keep repeating this but I'm not the biggest fan of, you know, if you are, go with it. There's also corn extract in here and we've been researching it and we can't find out what the hell it is or why it's in here, honestly. We found something about bedwetting. If you have a bedwetting issue, maybe this is the conditioner for you. We have some flour extract. We have some fragrance perfume and some dye, totally normal. Let's smell it. This one definitely smells like coconut. It is much better than the previous one, the dove one. It's a lot less scent and the perfume is actually really low on the list. Purple essence has really been doing something for me lately. It's kind of weird. Let's give it a feel. Ooh, it is really blue. It's funny because on your fingers you can actually feel it like filling in the dryness and it makes it really slippery and soft in your fingers. I actually do like this and it's not sticky and it's not too thick. I enjoy it. Now, let's give this a test on a hair strand.  Ooh, it feels nice. Very detangling. This smells stronger on the hair than in the bottle. It also makes my hands a little tingly. My hands are gonna be so moisturized after this. I'm gonna let this dry and let's move on to the next conditioner. Up next we have Tressame. Isn't there like thing, Tressame, Tressame, ooh la la. The bottle to me is heinous. Why is it a triangle? I just hate that the cap is in the same color as the front of the bottle. It's like gold and then bronze. Anyways, presentation really lacks for me. Tressame used by professionals. Where this says ultimate hydration with moisture complex. It's a system for long lasting hydration. It is a recycled plastic. It is not cruelty free that I see here, which is really sad. Give your hair the hydration it needs to restore life back to your locks. Our moisture complex with ceramides infuses each strand with an intense boost of deep hydration, locking it in to leave your hair feeling soft and smooth after each use. Ceramides are really cute, really trendy, really nice and a great thing to add to your conditioner. This is 22 fluid ounces and it retails for $6.79. That is a lot of product for a little amount of money. Wow, to make something that cheap and have that much in a bottle, you must be cutting some corners. I mean, they just have to. Or you're making a cent per product. I don't know what they're doing, but they're probably just selling a lot of them and making a very low commission on them. I may never know. Looking at the ingredient list here, it says water. We have some satiric alcohol. We have ceramides in here, which is great for moisture retention to help fix damaged hair. You can find that in skincare also. I see lysine on here, which helps collagen production. Ooh, kind of cute ingredients. And again, we have arginine and lactic acid. I do like these ingredients. It seems to be a little more elaborate than a previous two conditioners we just reviewed. It's like enough ingredients. It's not too much. Time for the smell test. Actually, this is like the most intense part of all because they never smoke it. So let's see what happens here. Okay, definitely better than the dove one. I don't hate this. It still smells like sour candy, but it's like a little bit less sour than the dove one. It's not the worst. It smells very clean, but definitely like overpowering clean. Also, the fragrance, it's in the middle of the list. Pretty average place to put it. Not too much, not too little. Now let's put it on my fingertip and let's test it out. This one feels a little more runny than the other two. This is a little thinner, but still pretty much feels the same. Let's give this a shot on a hair strand and let's see what happens. All right, let's do a little dunkeroo. Let's do a little dollop. The scent is strong, but nice. It's not the worst scent. Feels quite like the other ones. Let's do a little dunkeroo to get this off. Ooh, I mean, this one feels extra slippery. All right, we'll dry that up and let's move on to the next condition. All right, up next we have OGX, which actually stands for organics, believe it or not. Some people don't know that, some people do, some people are shocked by that. I was one of those people who were shocked by that. I had no idea. We have coconut milk conditioner. Like the coconut thing, it's really a lot. People get so obsessed with the particular product every year and it's funny to me because people don't even know if it's actually good for them, they just use it because everybody else is using it. Coconut oil is one of those things that I really don't love at all. I actually hate coconut oil personally, but you do your own research on that. The bottle is actually really cute. I do like it. I think it's a little more trendy and new. I like that the cap matches the front of the bottle. I like that they put the main ingredients in the front and try to get you to understand the product better. I like the roundness of it. It seems very easy to squish, so cool. And I like the little flip cap. This says selfie free, not tested on animals. Love, love, love. And it's all about recycling. We love that too. It says why you want it. It's like a trip to the tropics in a bottle. I love that.  The luxury creamy hydrating blend helps leave your hair feeling moisturized, glowing, and super soft. This is 13 flute ounces, and it retails for $9.29. By far the most expensive one today, and the cheapest one was dub, so let's keep that in mind. That one was $5.29, and this is $9.29. So it's a pretty big jump, so let's see if it's worth it. The ingredient list says water. They love the water, huh? It's like we don't have showers these days, or like there's no such thing as a water to wash your hair out. Water, Emma. Cassie, it was a joke. Oh. We have glycerin, a very high up on the list, which attracts moisture. We have coconut oil, which we just went over a million times.  We have safflower seed oil. We have Panthenol, which is a Provitamin B5. Great great for your hair, which helps protect against damage. And we have ovum on here, which is egg powder, making this product not vegan. All right, well the ingredient list actually has some really great things, and a lot of additives that don't need to be there, but are because it makes it a little more luxurious. And that is what you get for the price.  Let's do a quick smell test. I think this is gonna smell heavy of coconut. I mean, yeah, it's just a little coconut milk on it. It just smells like coconut. I don't like the smell of coconut that much, but it's not bad. Oh, this smells, no. This smells like I literally just got off the beach in Tahiti, like I'm going into my suite. Literally like going to shower after like a little bit of a summer. Okay. And then, do you want to taste it at all? Let's put this on my finger. I mean, I'll feel really similar. This feels exactly the same. It's a little more gooey than the other ones. I don't know, it's hydrating, feels fine. Let's test on the real hair strands now. We got our dry hair strand. Let's give it a dunk. Let's do a little dollop on the hand, and the good old hands love these things. And the coconut smell is very overpowering and strong. I mean, like it is definitely there. It feels like it's detangling quite nicely though. I can really run my hands through it. Love that. It's cute. It feels like the other ones. Let's rinse that off. It feels actually a lot of it better than the other ones. This feels very slippery. I'm going to go ahead and dry all the hair strands and then I'll be back to figure out which one feels the softest and works the best. All right. Now it's time for the touch test. Now we have our constant here, which is the one that has not been conditioned. We're going to compare every other hair strand to this one. The first specimen, please. We have Dove. It looks a bit smoother. It feels just slightly smoother. Nothing too silky soft, not very impressed. This is herbal essence. I'm rooting for herbal essence just because I last time I went well. Let's see here. This one's definitely noticed me smoother than the Dove one. It feels very much detangled. It looks a bit shinier, just slightly. It's kind of hard to tell on camera, but the ends seem a little less frayed and broken. This one feels pretty good. I like this. All right. Now we have Tressame and Tressame feels good too. Definitely feel smoother than the one that has not been conditioned, which I would hope so. But it feels a noticeable amount softer and it looks very shiny and the little flyaways seem to be tamed a lot better. I think that herbal essence was definitely softer though. Oh, it's called the GX. Last coconut milk. You whisper coconut milk. I know, it's like coconut milk. Like I said, that's the f***ing name. You wrote it all the time. She wrote coconut milk. This one is noticeably softer than the others, like very much so. It is silky smooth. The smell, I suppose like coconut, it's very strong. It looks very healthy and glowy and shiny. This one to me stands out by far. I really like this. This is before, this is after. All right, now that I've felt all the conditioners and seen what they can do, it is time for my final thoughts. From least favorite to most favorite in order. In fourth place, we have Dove. Guys, step it up. Are the ingredients list? Not the worst, not the best, kind of bleh. Didn't make the hair that soft and I hate the scent. In the third place, we have Tressame. This is very large and it's very inexpensive. This is $6.79 for 22 ounces, like I said before. I mean, that's really, really great and very affordable. Other than that, the ingredient list was like decent. I hate the bottle and the scent was, it's pretty bad. And it also made the hair like soft, but not the softest. I could do without this for sure. In second place, Opal Essence. Still not mad at this one and honestly, for the price, it could easily come in first. It is 11 ounces and it's only $6.29. Cheap and the ingredient list was decent. It made the hair quite soft. I did like the scent. I like the bottle and I like the presentation. Not bad at all. And in first place, you guys already know, it's OGX. This one was great. I don't like coconut, but if you do like coconut and you want an OGX product, this is quite nice. This does have egg whites in it, so it's not vegan, which was the saddest part for me. It's a pretty decent product and it is quite inexpensive at $9 and what? Cents? 29. 29 cents and it is 13 ounces, which is not too small either. After using this on the hair strand, it was significantly softer. This is our winner for today. Congratulations. Okay, well, again, very surprised. My findings today were much better than the shampoo one in my opinion. They're not the worst, not the best. Definitely not salon professional quality, but doable. And if you're balling on a budget, go for it. Try some of these products, see what you like. OGX was my favorite and if you're in the drug store, maybe pick it up, maybe try it.

To me, that's a great move because his starting attitude is kind of almost like a resignation like, I don't even want to be here on the planet, he was just so carrying so much anger and resentment and grievances and then it just shows you the stuff that he went through is almost like the reversal, just reversing all the thoughts of the world in terms of what's truly meaningful and what's helpful. He's kind of in it, what's in it for me? Why am I going to get out of this? And that's his attitude and he's like, well just hang in and play the game as long as it takes to get something out of it. He didn't even know what the outcome was but that's pretty much how this is spirituality. You enter in and you don't really have a clue where it's going to take you or what you're going to experience. What's going to fall away? It's like some kind of a new ride at the amusement park. You go in, you go down, you drop through a chute, you land, I think you've got some solid feet, solid ground and then boom, the floor drops out and you drop down again. You kind of get your feet again, feel like you're there now, then the floor drops out. It's kind of like a floor drop out journey. Just the floor keeps dropping out and you're on the free fall. You could tell most of the movie he was like in total free fall. He just said nothing to grasp. He took everything he had just to stay in and continue on. All these memories, childhood memories of his father, his grandfather, all the stuff that we've seen over these, the course of these six weeks, people facing a lot of memories coming out from childhood, a lot of dark closets and closed doors that are reopened, all for a good reason. Just keep opening and opening until there's nothing left. Keep dropping and dropping until there's nowhere else to fall. It's interesting lessons because the family was just so filled with greed that they dropped off really quick. Sometimes that happens in this life when you end a spiritual journey. Your entire world as you've known it, the people that you've loved or the people that were surrounding you are proud of a vibration that you are meant to completely drop below and leave behind. In some cases it is that way where they may just like drop out of your life really quick and maybe for many years, if not for a lifetime. That's just part of it. Jesus was talking about that when he said, mother will be turned against daughter and father will be turned against son for my namesake. He was saying you're going to go through vibrational changes that will take you deeper and deeper inside your mind in some of those past associations unless they serve the awakening, they will fall away and stay away. What was once associated with being loved, you start to go beneath the surface and realize it wasn't love. It was interesting in this movie that one of the steps was to go out there, go again to the Thanksgiving day dinner and extend gratitude. I was kind of going back, you know, facing anything that's there and then just seeing that he offered his gift and then he left. That was the end in the movie of the biological family, his mother and his other ones. He just kind of dropped down and that's the way it goes. You have to go on this journey and you have to let the Holy Spirit and the intuition within bring to you those encounters and opportunities that will allow you to release the beliefs and that may or may not involve a biological family. It depends on the spirit really. It's not for any of us to decide. But that was another beautiful aspect of it, just how things just dropped and dropped and dropped away with it and his possessions, his car, his apartment, furniture, everything. It was like a relinquishment phase and we had his grandfather said, you know, you haven't really lived until you've lost everything and he said, I lost everything four times. It's a great place to start, you know, kind of that emptiness. I think a lot of us have had those moments where we've gone through these periods where we've kind of cleared things out. Some of you who were here for a number of weeks, you remember Mate when he came here. He was going through that period of relinquishment but actually seeing the blessing in it, you know, actually quite, quite happy and joyful with that going through that period, knowing that he was just ready for the next stage, the next step. It wasn't an end point, just a transition. That's a beautiful witness there too because the ego likes to put things in kind of like final terms, like, where will you be? What will you be if you lose everything? It threatens the mind, you know, kind of like, how will you survive? How will you make it, you know, with all these threats and it's threatened, quite threatened of this loosening from possessions? Because that's its central creed. There's of course a Miracle's teacher, Dara Singh, he used to quote this old saying and it was about a king and his subjects back in the days of, you know, warlords and kings and castles and peasants and, you know, the old feudal system, you know, and the quote was, a king trembles before a man who wants nothing. The king needs subjects and peasants to be a king in that old system and so it's a self-concept thing we were talking about earlier when someone shows up that doesn't play the role, it doesn't uphold the role and that's the big threat to the ego. It's a big threat because it seems like a big change is on the way but it's actually, it's the big opening. Opening to a new kind of kingdom, a new, completely new kingdom without peasants and slaves and subjects inferior or superior, that old game is out the door. Well, soft glow tonight. So, mmm, it's in the movie too, in the subtitles. And then the perspective. When you said that, I remember that part in the movie when the woman who only wanted him for the money, she came back to the apartment and now she was interested again and then she went to the restroom and he just left, he just felt guided to just go like to the hospital and it was beautiful, like he didn't even feel the prompt to say anything like, oh now you come back, the only one for the money, he didn't need to say anything, he just left. Follow the purpose. Yeah, that's kind of neat, you don't have to explain, you don't have to explain or justify yourself to just follow your purpose. Beautiful butterfly at the end. Yes, I saw it at the end.  Yeah, I was joining too in the intuition of Lee Merriweather, you know, Mr. Hamilton's partner who, if he's come back from Ecuador, you know, and he's, you know, with the little girl and her mother and he calls and he said, I need, I know, I know you think I'm crazy, but I need to borrow Red's jet and Mr. Hamilton was rolling his eyes like, and then the Merriweather on the speakerphone comes in, the assistant. And I said, okay, we'll have the jet, have the jet waiting. Was that joining, that intuitive joining of like, what is, what is really called for here? There were times where he was pretty firm, there were times when he even walked out and at the beginning and the young man had to, Jason had to follow him down the hall with Jason down and, and then there was times when his sister stepped in and it's beautiful. It just shows that every relationship has given over to the Holy Spirit. It's really an art to win, to come in, to be firm, one to be extremely generous and soft, and you know, just let that come through, just as it has to be to, to let the miracle work through. You've got to know when to hold on, know when to follow, know when to walk away, know when to run. You've got to let the Holy Spirit lead you all the way, there'll be time enough for less than when the process is done. There was another one that was very beautiful, was when the daughter told, told him like, I want Christmas and that was for me like, her asking like the Holy Spirit like, I need to be shown. You really need to show me now that, that love is real and really demanding it. That was her, she perceived it as a real need and that was helpful as well. She emphasized now, when he said that could take me one or two weeks, now. Yeah, sometimes you're right on the edge, on the edge of it like, okay I ain't breaking up here, I can't take it anymore. Help! Then she comes with that. I think it was, this kind of echoed our main theme here, which was, was about getting out of the, the getting mode and getting into the giving mode. I mean really that seems to be what the central theme of the movie was, that he just didn't know any different. He was just so used to getting his way and credit card with no limit and just you know, not having even a job in any opportunity to extend. He was so closed off and kind of depressed, kind of going around with almost like a proud kind of strut in his walk and quite depressed and disconnected. But then you know by the end it was like down the tunnel of humbleness, down and down and down, where he just became more and more humble and more and more in the experience of the miracle of giving, just giving for the sake of giving, you know, for this, because he thought he was getting so much from it.
