The important thing about Tweak'd, does it replace Ojon exactly?

Yes, its fun to gossip about Dennis and his new family. But I have never been able to replace the original Ojon restorative product, the expensive one in the brown jar. Does he make an exact duplicate? I'm not interested in trying a bunch of items, either blowing the money or sending them back.

No. There's one deep conditioner that smells identical, but it's not the same.

I have received a product that is very close.

@depglass I tried the conditioning mask in the brown jar when he first presented it. It's no different to me than a $8 drugstore deep conditioner. He compares it to Ojon, which had a great following, but still over priced for the results.

I have found the new conditioner is very close to the original Ojon, but is easier to rinse out. As for it being "fun" to gossip about he and his wife's divorce not so much. I assume it was a very painful time for both of them.

I never used Ojon, but I do like this from Tweak'd:

@Tadaki For whatever reason, this is on HSN for $34. Just saw it.

I like and use this product. However, I never used the original Ojon product so can't compare. I don't really use it as a conditioner though. I use it more as a finishing product, usually mixed with some oils. In winter I'll also use a little on my face before bed. I loved the Ojon Tawaka conditioner which I discovered shortly before he sold the line.

Sadly, a lot of his products even though he pushes the powered by nature line contain ingredients that I don't want on my hair like silicones. A pair of products that I bought as part of a set in a TSV awhile back contains an ingredient that is specifically meant to build up on hair or stay in the hair for up to 5 shampoos and is aimed at people who straighten their hair. I'll end up selling those on Ebay or finding another use for them as I don't want that ingredient in my hair since I'm curly.

I would try more of his products if he would ditch the silicones. If the natural ingredients were so great he wouldn't need the silicones. He should try Broccoli Seed Oil instead.

Tweak'd is on both QVC & HSN and the prices vary considerably, so I always check both sites before buying.

Which products/ingredient will build up and stay i hair for up to 5 shampoos? I have several Tweak'd products but alternate with other lines.

TIA for your response

Interesting you point this out, and so don't you find it misleading when he says during his shows how "natural" all his products are and how there's nothing in it except all the stuff from nature he goes to all these countries to source?

@Tennessee Vol It's a combination of Polysilicone-29 & Dipropylene Glycol. They aren't placed together in the ingredient deck, but they don't have to be. The trade name is Silsoft CLX-E. If you Google it, it sounds like a wonderful product IF you want to flat-iron your hair. When combined with heat, it transforms rebellious hair into sleek, glossy hair with no firzz. It fights frizz by restorng hydrophobicity to hair which means it makes hair water-resistant. My curls actually do better when there's more humidity in the air. In fact, in the winter I add an oil to my wet hair to help stop moisture loss. I don't need that in the summer. However, any ingredient that states that it lasts through several washes is a no in my book. It has to build up which may be great for the flat-ironers, but I think in the long run it's not good for the hair.

The products I have that contain it is the Coco-Nutty Volumizing Clayditioner and the Coco-Nutty Cleansing Volumizing Scrub.

@Icegoddess

Thanks! I bought that TSV and tried the products once and didn't like them so I threw them away. I too have curly/wavy hair. I don't like any of the Clayditioners. I do like his original scrub but only use it every other week.
