    Great conditioner that feels awesome going on. Not too heavy or too light. Hair feels soft after using it, and frizzies are tamed because of the moisturizing qualities of the conditioner.

    A fantastic daily conditioner. It's rich and creamy and leaves my hair noticeably softer and shinier. It seems to be good for a lot of different curl types.

    wow! After all the positive reviews, I really was looking forward to trying this conditioner,however it left my hair a tangled mess, i was afraid i would not have hair by the time i finished combing the conditioner through my wet hair. i have 3b/4a hair type. my hair was soft after it dried, and the smell was pleasant (that's why two curls) I think the protein ingredient is the reason for my tangles. For at the fear of being bald, i don't think i'll be repurchasing.

    This product is coming close in my quest for a good conditioner. It is a little light for me, but still moisturizes and detangles admirably and doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy or itchy like the more intense ones I have tried. Have not tried it as a leave-in yet, but love the idea.

    I had not so great results (nice slip but dried w/o shine and drying to my hair) with the litre size I bought years ago but was reluctant to swap it away. I've recently pulled it out to try it as a leave-in. By itself and gel yeielded not so greta results but when I paired it up with Aveda's Universal Styling cream = Wow!! I got coily defintion in the perpetually fuzzy areas near my ears and weight that I need. I'll use this as a flex cheaper option to Aveda's Be Curly.

The price tag was attractive compared to other conditioners on here, but that's about it. Moisture was ehh, slip was ehh, and the smell was...smelled like cough syrup.

    I don't know whats wrong with me, but my 3a hair doesn't seem to like any of the best-sellers/reviewers. I didn't really like the smell to start off, and had to use loads to feel like it was doing anything for moisture. It worked better as a leave in conditioner, but still left my hair dry and barely less tangled.

    I have fine, VERY curly mixed-race hair, and it's hard to find a conditioner that gives enough moisture, detangles, and doesn't build up. This one is definitely the best of the many, many conditioners I've tried! Good slip, great moisture, nice smell, and no silicone. I can leave a lot in my hair after rinsing without any nasty buildup, and it complements my other products.

(it probably took a few tries at first because my hair was so dry/damaged and/or previous product buildup) definite staple!!!

    I bought this product after reading all the great reviews about it. The first day I tried it, I just used it as a wash-out conditioner, and thought that it was ok but nothing that different than some other things I've tried in the past. I think maybe I just didn't use enough, because today I used more of it & left it on a bit longer before rinsing. Then I also mixed some of it in with my styling gel (FX Curls Up Reactivator). WOW!! HUGE difference! I had an awesome amount of curl - soft, defined, bouncy, full of volume. The best hair day I've had in a long time! I will definately buy this product again.

    I used this conditioner for the first time w/high expectations based on raves and reviews from other girls w/my hair type and I was a little disappointed. Maybe they've had better luck than me because I didn't really notice any softness, detangling, or moisture. It's just like a regular conditioner. OR maybe I'm not getting the same great results as the girls above me due to the fact that I just started the CG routine..maybe it takes a while for things to start "working".
