It was a random purchase, but well worth it! I have 4a/4b, bsl hair and this really helped with detangling! Did it cut down the time? No, not at all. But I had very little breakage, it was smooth on my ends, and worked wonderfully with my Tangle Teezer, Denman, and mixed well with the Eco Styler gel. My hair dried soft, tame, without any sticky residue or buildup!

Love Love infusium 23! I use it as a pre poo treatment to relax my style and start detangling before washing my hair. It prevents any knots from tightening during the shampoo process. I use when styling too instead of water to rewet my hair. Love this stuff!!

I really like this product. I use it before a curl cream and get soft, shiny curls. It does contain cones so if you are CG, it isn't for you, but it works very well for me.

This product is good for protein treatments but can make hair extremely dry and brittle.

This product left my hair hard and rough, like damaged hair. I would never recommend this product to anyone. It's really watery for a leave in conditioner too.

this stuff is pretty good. the packaging is horrible though. its hard to put on your hair because its so watery. it should be in a spray bottle. it strengthened my hair a little though.

I heard so much about this product that I had to try it. Unfortunately all that glitters is definitely not gold. This is one of those products. It just left my hair feeling stiff.Plus I did not appreciate it liquid consistency

They should put this in a spray bottle, but otherwise I like the smell, and it works pretty well for the price.

I think it protected my hair in the sun. But left a sticky residue, when I tried straightening it and my hair felt icky.

I used this product a LOT before going to the Curly Girl method. It really helped my hair stay nice in the california heat! It does weigh your hair down, however and can get greasy if over-applied. Great product, overall.

A hairstylist I went to recommended this product and the commercials looked promising, so I tried this. To be honest, I couldn't tell any difference at all in my hair when I used it. It's definately not moisturizing enough on it's own - you would need to use a regular conditioner, too. It has the consistency of water & is hard to work with when just putting it on with your hands, so I wound up putting it in a spray bottle. I also found out the hard way that it will stain clothes, so be sure to have a towel around your shoulders when you put it on.

I used this product for a while because I wanted to like it, but eventually I had to give it up. I think it made my hair somewhat frizzy and definately dry.I also wish that it would have been a sprary. However, it did detangle. I also tried using it when I straighten my hair and I felt like there was a residue and it didn't straighten well at all. Not worth the time and even though it is cheap, not worth the money.

It didnt do much for my hair,using it alone I noticed my hair was dry and had a build up feeling. When I layered it with a thicker leave in I got better results. I wont buy again,whats the point if you need a leave in for your leave in..lol

Great stuff. In summer, I douse my head generously after I wash my hair and let it air dry. I dilute a little with water in a spritz bottle for when I need to re-curl.

I bought this product becuz most people seemed happy with it, and since it was so inexpensive. What can I say? Yuck, it not only stinks but it made my hair sticky, not soft, and once it dried my hair was like straw.

The only use I have found for this product is to put it in spray bottle with a little water and use it on "no-wash" days to reactivate products and reduce frizz.

This product was very difficult to use, it was very watery. Maybe they should make a spray bottle. It was hard to evenly distribute through my 3b-4a hair. It did make my hair softer, but it's definately not worth purchasing again. once my hair was dry it was still an afro, just softer. lol

This stuff is okay when the salons are closed and you need a leave-in or else you can't leave your house tomorrow. It detangles well, for a lower-end product.

It's great, but can't be used alone. I use it when my hair is damp and comb through with my fingers. When it's close to dry, I scrunch styling creme, mousse, or gel in it.

I have always used this product! I put it on right after the shower and it's a good starting point but afterward I like to and a good defrizzing serum. The one I use isn't on the product list though, but I get it a Sallys.

They shouldn't really call this a conditioner- it's not thick enough. It is a pretty d*** good detangler, though.

A light tonic that really helps detangle curls and leaves them softer. You can't beat the price.

Contains "23 essential pro-vitamin and treatment ingredients." I didn't quite get the results they show in the ads, but it definitely seemed moisturizing.

Combines well with other products to help detangle and soften, but using it on it's own is not enough. Using it while my hair was dry left my hair and fingers feeling sticky. 2 curls.
