Drugstore Duds | Conditioner

I have been trying to find ways to save money these past few months.  What with prepping to move out, and adopting an adorable pup, my hair care allowance has become virtually non-existent.  So when I finally ran out of my 34oz Pureology Hydrate conditioner that I've been using for the past 6 months, I realized that I could no longer afford my luxury conditioner, and would have to find a drug store brand that kept my color treated hair manageable.

My first mistake was not going for a hydrating conditioner, or a conditioner designed specifically for blonde hair.  I had no idea how damaged my hair was until I quit using Pureology.  It only took two washes with TREsseme's conditioner from my hair to go from soft to straw!  Even when I was applying it to my hair, I couldn't feel any moisture penetrating my hair.  I hate that this was a dud for my blonde hair, and maybe the fact that I am blonde specifically is the reason it didn't work for my hair.  Either way, I am disappointed in the results of this conditioner, and I hope that I can find an inexpensive conditioner to use, if not, Pureology is worth the splurge!

If anybody has a great drugstore or inexpensive conditioner for platinum blondes or intense moisture, tell me about it in the comments section
