I used this with the shampoo, and overall I'm not satisfied. My curls don't form or lay nicely, and my hair is still dry and frizzy. It feels like any other "normal" conditioner.

The key is to use the whole line of products. Shampoo, cond, cream....etc.

Good conditioner! Smelled weird, like cucumbers. Did not weigh down my hair!

left my hair frizzy and "excited" = hard to calm down. Not sure if it was because I used in together with the poo which gave me the same "crazy hair" results

Not hydrating enough. Lots of frizz. Dried out my hair in the long term

Oddly, I felt the Sleek shampoo/conditioner duo was better--even for curly hair. This conditioner was simply not moisturizing enough. It tames frizz better than the cheaper drug store products, but it still leaves way more frizz than a top quality conditioner should. My hair just didn't feel great. It was okay, but that's about it.

I did notice a small boost to my curls while using this product. My sister has only wavy hair and was continuously stealing it in an effort to get ringlets like mine, but to no avail. It left a bit of a build-up and wasn't quite moisturizing enough alone. It did help tame frizz significantly. I'm not a fan of it's faux tropical scent.

I really like this line. It gives good definition and movement, though it doesn't boost volume. I like the smell too!

NOT WORTH IT! I used it with the Shampoo, I could not finish the bottle of shampoo yet I managed to use up the conditioner, yet i refuse to purchase it again. Not a great detangler. Save ur money.

Its nothing special. I used it with the shampoo and it didnt make a difference compared to my drugstore brands. I still had difficult tangles after using this.

I don't really like this conditioner. It left my hair feeling dirty and was hard for me to comb through my hair afterwards. My curl formation wasn't very good either. I still have it in my shower incase I run out of other stuff but it would be my last resort.

When I use this with the curl.life shampoo, my hair is wonderfully soft, perfectly spiral and non-frizzy as soon as I rinse out. The conditioner works great with my fine curly hair, especially when its color-treated and dry. It doesn't weigh hair down but works just enough to tame the frizzies all around. Best curl shampoo/conditioner set ive found!

Definately a great moisturizer... left my hair shiny, bouncy and defined. But now that my hair is not dry I cannot use it... leaves my hair frizzy and limp. Nice to have on hand for thoes dry hair days... but can be passed up.

I was excited to buy this set. I got the testers 50% off at my salon. Perhaps there is a reason why. It didn't really do anything for my hair. It was limp, lacked defined curls, and I didn't like the smell. It was just plain weird. The conditioner felt quite thin, but the only positive is that it left my hair with more body. My sister likes it, but she has permed hair and her hair is teeming with split ends and frizz. Definately not worth the hype.

My hair is super soft using this product. Smells great, detangles and my curls form together nicely. I definitely recommend it.
