Yummy conditioners for pool-party hair

Yay, first weekend of summer! On Saturday I'll be attending my first pool party of the year, and I'm currently debating whether to try out the gin-spiked Elderflower Iced Tea recipe in the July Elle's gorgeous piece on "it mom" Pearl Lowe (guest-starring Anita Pallenberg - whoa!). One of my summer resolutions is to do lots and lots of swimming, which of course means lots and lots of chlorine soaking into my hair. So as to keep your own mane from getting all dry and damaged, we present our three favorite natural-ingredient conditioners.

The Body Shop Honey Moisturizing Conditioner makes me want to keep petting my softer-than-soft hair all day, plus it's made with community-traded honey (which helps support farmers and beekeepers in west Zambia).

Back to Basics Apple Ginseng Volumizing Conditioner is super-moisturizing without being greasy or leaving your hair limp. Three cheers for B vitamins.

I just ran out of my Hamadi Shea Rice Milk Conditioner this morning; wicked sad. It's full of good stuff like shea butter and essential oils of clary sage and ylang ylang, and I always get a little kick out of the "Tested on actresses, never on animals" note at the bottom of the bottle.
