BOO, BOO, BOOOOOO, Avalon Organics! They have reformulated the most perfect conditioner in the land (Biotin B-Complex Thickening Conditioner), the one I have been loving and loving since a long time ago. Let me offer a little compare-contrast action* to explain the problem with the bottles marked "More Sustainable," which are NOT more sustainable because they are going right into my trash, still full of their sad horrible reformulated conditioner.

Old Formula-->New Formula

Thick and rich -->Thin and oily

Volumizing -->Flattening and also the ends are static-y

Smells wonderful-->Smells like nothing

Tingly scalp -->No tingly scalp

Hair moisturized -->Hair dry and icky

Happy hair -->Sad hair

BRING BACK THE OLD ONE! PLEAAAASE! In the meantime, I am on my way to buy up all the old bottles I can find. I fear this is forestalling the inevitable, though, which is switching to something else. I have fine, thick, straight hair, by the way. Anybody have a really good paraben-free color-safe volumizing conditioner?

I did, once.

Waaaaah.
