Nick Gravagne used to swear by a dilute solution of Snuggle fabric softener and alcohol. Not sure why he preferred Snuggle - probably it was what was in his laundry room and it worked. Or maybe he liked its perfume best <G>. And then there is the vodka/bourbon crowd. In either case, I suspect the first thing that is happening is a degree of "un- felting." Conditioners vary a lot - some act mostly in an electrostatic way, but there are a lot of variants. I prefer "voice grip" techniques myself for this application (shoulders), along with #10 or #12 needles in the crown. I find it more predictable and controllable.
