Moisture Balancing Conditioner is a dual purpose moisture adjusting product. This smart formula adjusts moisture as needed and works two ways.
As a one-minute rinse out, it boosts moisture levels with essential lipids and proteins. As a leave-in lotion, it provides continuous moisturizing and suppleness to unusually dry hair.
These lipids and fatty acids mimic hair and scalp natural moisture. Squalane, a natural component of hair and scalp moisture is used in this formula to replenish and restore moisture balance (this special ingredient comes from olives). Lipids provide subsurface hydration, optimizing moisture levels and detangle hair to create managability. Hydrolyzed proteins process from natural wheat, lock in moisture to prevent dehydration.

This is a great conditioner! It has great slip and I did not need to put on half of the bottle for it to work. My hair was moisturized and I had defined curls afterward. I will definitely but this again!

I like the price of this, and the smell. It does a good job of moisturizing, but I feel it makes my hair feel greasy, even after rinsing out. I've tried is as a RO, LI, DT. Will not repurchase.

This product does have the slip that it's description promises, but after rinsing out, my hair didn't feel that well moisturized and didn't seem to style as well. I got finer spiral curls instead of good clumping.

I got it yesterday. Let me warn you, A LITTLE goes a LONG way! I have high density, low porosity hair. I used it as a leave-in. The conditioner elongated my curls, softer, healthier look. I am very pleased will definitely repurchase. I am going to try the shampoo as well.

My hair has never looked this good in my life; I thought that it'd be frizzy and rough forever! I made an account just to write this review. I've used a ton of no-poo/organic shampoo and conditioners, but after Elucence I'm never going to use anything else ever again. I use the Elucence moisture acidifying shampoo (because I have hard water) and then I use this as a leave-in. That's all. I didn't even know my hair was naturally this spirally!

I love this conditioner! I've used it as a daily, deep and as a leave-in. This works so well and is dependable with each new bottle. I've also shared it with a few curly friends and they were able to notice shinier, smoother, moisturized curls with one use. The shampoo...the moisture benefits is also really good, too. The price is amazing for a liter compared to so many other brands. I've ordered a few liters of both so that I'll have back ups and won't run out and also to share with friends! Love it!

If you've read ANY of my recent reviews, you know of my deep frustration over being forced to relinquish my HG 'poo and condish for a different brand more suited to the desert climate my 2C/3A-B tendrils have been subjected to since moving to Nevada from Florida just under a year and a half ago (see other reviews for those brands). It has been a major undertaking with the copious amount of research I conducted just to find products that would not further deplete the much-needed moisture from my already thirsty mane.
Enter Elucence. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a brand that not only came with rave reviews, but its price tag most certainly did NOT match the quality it was purported to possess. It is even named appropriately: MOISTURE BALANCING. It is neither too heavy nor too light...it is just right to handle my dehydrated locks in this moisture deficient place and comes with an ever-so-subtle peachy scent that's barely noticeable after the hair is dry. I liked both this Moisturizing Conditioner and two of the shampoos (see reviews) so much, I purchased liter-sized bottles after the smaller ones ran out.

I could not believe how good my hair looked after this conditioner. Since my scalp is prone to getting oily and having dandruff, I have to avoid putting it on my scalp so it won't build up. Worked wonderfully with the elucence clarifying shampoo.

I just bought the shampoo and conditioner yesterday. Of course I havent had the chance to use the shampoo yet but so far I'm really liking the conditioner. I used it as a leave-in and I have to say out of the many products I've tried this is the first that didn't leave an extremely greasy feeling. I have 4a hair and it left it feeling soft and moisturized. I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't had the chance to really use it. If it continues like this, it will definitely become my staple. I say its a must try!

The only reason this is getting 4 instead of 5 curls is because I WISH it smelled like the Moisture Benefits Shampoo. Other than that small drawback (because it does smell good in its own right, just not as good as the luscious shampoo), this conditioner is everything a curly girl could need: enough slip for detangling (even on dry hair), and divinely moisturizing without leaving a residue or weighing curls down.

I give it 4.5 Stars! I have 3C - 4B combo hair and I really like this conditioner as a leave-in/ styler for my wash-in-go's. It's light, moisturizing and doesn't leave a chalky film feeling or hard cast like other conditioners. It has just enough casting qualities to hold, prevent frizz and still allow movement. I love that it doesn't leave a dull film, allowing for a natural sheen. No jericurl look here. My only complaint is the fragrance, which personally I'm not a fan of but to each her own. The fragrance reminds me of pink oil moisturizer... yuck. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Not sure the smell will make me a repeat buyer; however I still recommend it.

I used to use the Aubrey Organics conditioner, but I always felt like my really find 3c hair didn't detangle enough. I need something with conditioning power and lots of slip, otherwise I end up with really bad breakage.
This conditioner actually works really well. It doesn't feel like its doing the job, but once I out of the shower, I am super happy with the results.
I do follow this with a leave in conditioner.

I use this as my leave in conditioner and it is fabulous!!! I wasn't sure about the aroma (which is settle), but I have decided that it is fine, just not as delicious as Karen's Body Beautiful. I am Syrian and Colombian, so I have thick curly hair. My hair is so soft, moisturized and happy without feeling weighed down. I put a couple drops of pure argan oil to this product and then finish with AG Recoil. Perfect hair every time. LOVE the clean ingredients. Will be a staple in my routine.

Pros: Great as a leave-in condition - not too heavy, great price, pleasant fragrance

Although it's back to the drawing board for me, I won't completely dismiss this product. ;-)

I was extremely disappointed by this product. I co-wash daily, and for that I really want a single conditioner which can help cleanse my scalp, but also keep my hair moisturized. This felt more drying even than the sulfate-free shampoos I use weekly. I had to follow up with another conditioner for enough moisture, and my hair still felt dryer than usual afterward. I hate to just throw out products, but this one might have to go. I would have given it one star, but I'll bump it up to two for the great price. At least if I throw this out, I'm only wasting $8 instead of $20.

This leave in is too light for my thick hair. The true test for me is if it smoothes out my super curly roots and saturates my hair without having to use a lot of product. This was ok but I have used better leave ins that give me the results I am looking for.

As a regular conditioner, I did not like this product all that much. I bought it when I was relaxed and was looking for a more natural alternative to alot of the conditioners that was readily available for relaxed hair. After I went natural and tossed most of my products for relaxed hair, I decided to keep this conditioner because of the ingredients. It was not all that great as a leave in, which is how I was originally using it because it is very light. I found it to leave somewhat of a waxy residue on my hair if I used more than a tiny dollop as a leave in. Then I tried to use it as a regular conditioner, and I was still not impresswed. Nothing super moisturizing or conditioning about this conditioner. My hair doesn't tangle that much and it is generally not hard for me to de-tangle my hair, so it is not really necessary for me to have a detangling conditioner. As a deep conditioner, this did not really deep condition my hair. This was the best for me a co-wash conditioner. I don't co-wash that frequently, I mostly shampoo with a sulfate free shampoo. When I did use this as a co-wash, I felt like the foaming action was really getting my hair clean without stripping my hair of any moisture. This works best for me as a co-wash conditioner and I would re-purchase this item again only to use as a co-wash. The price point on this conditioner is great, comparing it to most other conditioners available from curlmart, so it gains points on that.

I have been using this condtioner for almost a year. I love it. My hair feels so soft after I put this in my hair. Also after I wash it out detangling is a breeze. I use this product once a week and it has never done me wrong. I am in love with this conditioner and the moisture balance shampoo. This is affordable and one of the best purchases that I have ever made for my hair. WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!!!

Sometimes this works for me and sometimes it doesn't. And when it doesn't, it really doesn't--tangles everywhere, and my hair looks dry when it's wet. I've tried it as both a rinse out and as a leave-in and it's just not consistent enough to repurchase. Shame though, since the price is right.

LOVE this product. I have 3B curls, and they responded so well to it as a rinse out conditioner as well as a leave-in. I have yet to try it as a deep treatment, but I have no doubt that it will do wonders! Great slip, detangled like magic, left my curls light, soft, and bouncy. Couldn't ask for more :)

Just the best for me. I have just past shoulder length 3a hair, and have used this for the past 8 years. Every time I stray I end up coming back to it. I use it to CO wash, condition, and as a leave-in. I wouldn't say it's deep conditioner, but a great daily.

3b, very high density and very low porosity hair; this product detangles but I saw no improvement with moisture. I bought the liter bottle, used over half of it and my hair was still dry as hay. My hair rarely responds though to even the most intensive salon dry hair treatments, so I can't speak for every 3b but if your hair is as dry and thick as mine, it is unlikely this product will be strong enough to help.

4c hair! I have EXTREMELY tight beautifully nappy hair (that somehow makes cute small slinky type curls when sopping wet-but I digress). I used this as a co-wash and was not extremely impressed. I don't care too much about slip if the co-wash will add a little moisture or begin to soften my hair. When I put it on, it didn't have very much slip but did not add or detract from me being able to detangle my hair. I should note that prior to co-washing or pooing I always do an oil tx with sweet almond or grapeseed oil, 2 - 3 tbsp honey, 3 drops ylang ylang, 3 drops peppermint, ~1 tsp vitamin E, coconut oil and a few squirts shea moisture conditioner, which I leave in for 20 - 30 min. with heat under a shower cap then rinse out. So my hair is already soft prior to shampooing or co-washing. This product used as a co-wash didn't add anything to that softness, when I rinsed it out it actually took away some of the softness that the oil tx left behind but I feel as though since i'm using this to mildly cleanse my hair..this was ok. This product wasn't great but reading others reviews maybe I will try to use as a leave in, it looks like the same consistency as my favorite Giovanni leave in. I'll come back and report once I try this as a leave in.
Also on a separate note I purchased the extended moisture elucence conditioner for a protein tx. HORRIBLE it was less viscous than this product. I used it with heat for ~ 30 min. and when I washed it out my hair and ends were extremely dry. I think it was too much protein for my hair or that my hair reacted badly with the specific protein used in it. So if /when you are doing protein tx pay attention to the type of protein in the conditioner, (e.g., milk protein, hydrolyzed protein, keratin, etc) so that you can start to figure out how your hair responds since many conditioners have proteins that aren't readily recognizable.

I have 3c/4a hair and this conditioner is amazing! I live in Chicago so I have to have a conditioner sans the glycerin if I wanna avoid frizz city. So Elucence has proven to be a wonderful replacement for my winter time conditioner Kinky Curly KT. It detangles wonderfully, it's a great co-wash product (to stretch out the time btw shampooing), and provides excellent moisture as a leave-in. I'm almost done with my first 10oz bottle and I just ordered the 1 liter bottle to get me through the rest of summer. Thank you CurlMart for having coupon codes for this as well! ;o)

This is without a doubt my favorite conditioner. The ONLY reason I can not give it 5 curls is because I have to order it online. Otherwise it is a 5 curl product. This is a protein containing conditioner, so those that are protein sensitive should use caution. For me, it contains JUST the right amount of protien and moisturizers and it detangles like a dream. I've used it as a cowash, a rinse out conditioner, a leave in, and as a deep conditioner (with oils and honey) and each way that I've used it I have been amazed at results. I always try to keep a liter in my bathroom because when my hair is extra tangly or just not acting right, I can reach for this and know that my hair will respond.

Several months ago I decided to give this product a try after all the hype about it. Unfortunately my hair reacted badly to this product. I used it as a rinse out and as a leave in and it left my hair feeling hard and very dry and like it would crumble at the slightest touch. It's possible that it could be the type of protein that's used in this product. I use other products with protein in them and don't have a problem with them.

All I can say is OMG! What an awesome product, the conditioner is natural and feels luxurious on, but also leaves my hair feeling moisutrized and easier to manage. I am a transitioning 4a/b and have experienced hair loss when after poo and co, but this greatly reduced the shredding post wash. I recommend the shampoo and condish for anyone transitioning and worried about hair loss. Also the condish can be used as a leave in which also works wonders in this way.

If it weren't for the peach extract making me itch & the price, this would get 5 curls. It's one of the best leave-in/rinse-out conditioners I've tried.

this has been my staple product for at least 3 yrs now. i buy it by the liter! its so rich and moisturizing, plus it can be used in many different ways. my 3c hair loves it, my SO is a 2a/b and his hair loves it and even my mom who has relaxed hair uses it.

Wonderfully remarkable product! Detangled and softened my 4A curls. Right now, I'm doing the CG thing, but I still miss my Elucence conditioner. If I ever cheat, this is what I will cheat with!

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.

THANK GOODNESS! This is definately what my hair has been searching for! Great moisture and my hair loves it. The smell is okay (the shampoo is YUMMY!), and the detangling is pretty good too. I love that I can use it as a leave in. It makes a lot of room on my shelf because all I need is this, some gel, and the shampoo.
This conditioner is ALL THAT!

My hair is 2b to 3b depending on humidity in the air. I wanted to love this product from the reviews it recieved. It made my hair soft and full but full of frizz. When reading reviews and buying products; buy the small size to see if it works for you.

This is a good conditioner to use. It detangled well and the moisturizing was OK. Not overly great, but not bad either. It does have good ingredients in it and I would purchase it again.Elucence makes good quality hair care products at a very reasonable price.

I used to love this stuff, but I feel like John Masters Organics Citrus and Neroli detangler is better for my hair. It leaves my hair a lot softer than this. I have 3c hair.

I expected this product to be better than sliced bread the way people are talking about it and it's ranking on the "Top Sellers" in the CurlMart, but it's just ALRIGHT. 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.

The best condioner I have used in a really long time, though it was not amazing. However, I was completely impressed with how soft and moisturized my curls felt. Detangling not superb, but did a decent job on my thick 3c curls. Overall, a pretty nice conditioner. Will use again in the future.

Update:
Initially great. Continued use caused my protein sensitive hair to be dry and brittle. No slip or moisture as a leave-in or co-wash/DT. I'm so disappointed w/all the raves about this one.

This is a great leave-in conditioner for me. It wasn't too moisturizing as a co-wash, DT conditioner, though. My hair was soft and shiny. Loved the peachy smell! I was able to layer stylers over it. It's a staple for me!

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.

I really love the ingredients in this product.It all sounds so nourishing. However, the detangling properties are pretty modest. It works like every other conditioner;however, I have experienced better conditioners which give my hair more slip after usage.

Like I said with the poo, I sent away for this product based on the favorable reviews and you guys didn't steer me wrong. I've used these products 3 times now and I'm noticing FAR LESS STRAW and more SOFT CURL formation. It's nice to have something that adds moisture without adding a thick coat of goo!

This conditioner is my absolute favorite conditioner ever. It smells like heaven, and it leaves my hair more fantastically soft and moisturized than any other conditioner I've used. It leaves my hair in the best shape, and doesn't over-condition. Perfect as a leave in, too. I'll never be without this in my shower!

I am very close to declaring this a HG. Very moisturizing, but not too heavy abd doesn't weigh down my fine hair. I am currently out of it and really missing it. No other conditioner works as consistently for me. My next order, I'm ordering the liter size.

the best conditioner!!! it does everything! you can use it as a detangler, leave-in, co-wash, dt...and it even cooks and cleans too! haha! but seriously, i always come back to this conditioner when my hair product experiments go awry. when i first used it, it was just average. but it took a few tries before it kicked in, then WOW!!! (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.

great conditioner! i love it as a rinse-out and a leave-in, i've also added honey and oils to it for a DT, and i've even used it as a washing conditioner. only complaints are that it is not the best detangler i've ever used (devacurl one condition is better IMO) and i notice as i'm rinsing it out that it seems to lather a bit. great price too.

It's very detangling for rinse-out conditioning, but as a leave-in, my hair looks like cotton-candy. If I add honey, it looks shiny and bouncy, but to earn 4 curls from me, a product has to look great on its own.

I like it ok, but I find that my hair is happier with a conditioner that has cones. Last time I used this conditioner, it left my hair dry and straw-like. I really wanted to like it, but for me, it's just an ok conditioner.

My HG conditionner. It has everything I need, moisture -lots of moisture!, helps with frizz, light enough so it doesn't weight down curls, smells fresh, and just feels amazing in my hair! It's the best detangler I've tried. Also a great leave in. I've tried others, but this is pretty hard to beat.

This officially has become the first conditoner that I will continue to buy in bulk. It is fabulous! I used to think that a conditioner had to have at least one 'cone to be effective. Boy was I wrong. My hair feels so soft and lush after I use this. Makes doing the mod.CG a real treat. Thanks Elucence!!!

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".
