    I like using this product to detangle my 3B/3C hair after shampooing and rinsing the conditioner out of my hair. I use wide tooth comb with plenty of water while in the shower and the comb slips through. My 4C friend also likes this product as well. It also smells great.

    This stuff is awesome. I use to use BioSilk and it left my hair feeling oily. I like everything about Kinky Curly the smell, the feel and the fact that you only have to use a very small amount, so the bottle lasts forever. My hair has had a smoother feel, less fly-aways, a rich look and it never has that oily look or feel.

    I loove the way this smells. Great as a leave-in, regular conditioner and as a styler when I don't feel like using a gel. It defines curls and leaves them soft. It would be great if KC made a curling creme with most of these ingredients, then incorporated one or two more ingredients for hold.

    I was bit skeptical about this product but after purchasing it I can't complain. I have 4b hair that drinks everything up, but this leaves my hair manageable and soft even after it DRIES. It's even better with a little coconut oil.

    This is the first leave-in that's worked for me for as long as I can remember. I bought it because after reading the reviews of KCCC, it seems like it would work best when paired with this. I actually needed a leave-in anyway, either they all have cones or don't do anything at all. I haven't used it as a regular conditioner yet, but it gives so much slip! Not much is needed at all, though I had to replace my bottle after I was about 1/4 of the way through my tub of KCCC. It has a light kind of cherry-almond smell that isn't strong, just pleasant. The consistency is also great, creamy but light and easy to spread and distribute. I'll be sticking with this conditioner for as long as they keep making it!

    I have fine, soft, mainly 3b (some 3a and 3c) curls. KC products don't seem to be working for my hair. The KCCC was a disaster after various applications, which is how I ended up with the KT. This product is ok-ish. I have had better luck with a number of other leave-in and rinse-out conditioners. Disappointed that have almost-full tub of KCCC and almost full bottle of KT that can't use. KC need to make testers like Curl Junkie. I love Curl Junkie!

    For all the ladies out there with very kinky-curly hair, this product is a must-have! When I am not in the shower with rich-creamy conditioner in my hair, I use Knot Today to detangle my hair. I spritz my hair with my water and vegetable glycerin mix and then start to apply Knot Today in my hair and detangle it. I also use Knot Today as a great leave-in before applying my Fantasia IC gel in the mornings. It prevents dryness and makes my hair VERY easy to manage, define, and style. It is reasonably priced as well. What more can I say?

    I have fine soft 4 a/b hair & I tried this stuff twice ; once on a small patch of hair & the 2nd time a week later on my whole head to make sure I hadn't made mistakes.It was crunchy the first time & horrible the 2nd time .It made my hair hard, wiry & brittle & made the curls shrink up to the point where it COULD NOT be detangled. I had to wash it all out & then do a hot oil treatment to get my hair to feel normal again. The shampoo is good & the curling cream is great...I got some pretty little spiral curls...,but my hair cannot take Knot Today.It seems to be very astringent or something. From now on I use the curling cream ALONE or with a different leave in.

    Works great as a leave-in detangler, but paired with the KCCC, I didn't get the great results I was expecting. Hoping pairing it with a stronger style agent will give better hold. But for what it is, it worked.

    An excellent detangler, but not enough moisturizing benefit when used alone. Left my hair frizzy, dry, and parched as the Sahara. When used in conjunction with KCCC, though, is an excellent foundation product. Makes the CC glide on easier and they work together well for excellent curl definition. In addition, when used with the CC the custard balances it out to provide the much needed moisturizing effect. Will only purchase again as a companion product for the KCCC, but for days when I need a leave-in only or a leave-in to pair with another styler I'll use something else.

    I really love this product. I have 4a/4b hair that is coily and this product worked beautifully. For my regimen i would have my stylist double strand twist my hair. Next throughout the course of the hairstlye life (2-3 weeks) i would have the shower water beat through my hair then apply the leave in (don't rinse). By the time the 4 week rolls around i just untwist my hair and rock a mean twist out. This product kept my hair soft and moisturized.

    Won 5 curls because it makes my hair soft! So soft :) and moisturized... it works for now. I have extremely thick hair and I’ve only had it for about a week and I’ve already used 2/3 of the bottle:( Truth is since I used it, it's been a lot easier to comb through with my comb in the shower when I plan to deep condition. That first use drained about half of it. However, it is true that its detangling properties could be further improved upon. I love this product and will continue to use it, buy it and leave it in :)

    This is the best product I've tried thus far! About 7 months ago, I cut off my mid-back length dreadlocs & decided to go natural. Two months into it I was SO fed up with the thickness of my unruly hair, that I chemically texturized it. Now that I'm better educated in haircare, I'm revisiting the natural thing again. This product is the ONLY thing that allows me to EASILY and PAINLESSLY comb thru the few inches of new growth. Plus, it keeps it all SO soft and surprisingly moisturized for the little amount used(even the damaged overprocessed parts). I use it as a leave-in (w/a bit of Curling Custard) & as an extra detangling boost with my regular co-wash condish. I literally can't stop touching my hair & it smells amazing! I also can't believe I'm down to a 2 step hair process now!

    Kinky Curly Knot Today Conditioner is the best conditioner in the world! Knot Today may be the reason I am still natural. I was having a hard time getting even a wide tooth comb through my hair. Knot Today made detangling a snap and leaves it soft and moisturized. As long as Kinky Curly maintains their integrity and does not start tampering with the ingredients, I will be a life long customer.

    I really like the knot today I think that it is a staple to the KCCC.I always use this with the kccc. Sometime when using you think that your hair is hard and crunchy it's really not it just looks that way. But after 3 and 4 days of wear your hair is very soft. Even when your not using your hair will still continue to be soft. You only have to use a little in connection with the kccc because if you use to much of both, It will leave a white sticky residue. But overall it is a great product.

    When I first put this conditoner on my wet hair, I thought it was just like any other conditoner/detangler, but after I let it sit on my hair for about 5 minutes, I noticed in the mirror that my hair looked like it absorbed everything, my hair felt softer, and my curls looked plump, well hydrated. I have used other conditoners that it looked as if it sat on top of my hair, not being absorbed. Not this. I think I need to try it again to get a better feel of the product. But I also think that as I use it more, my hair will start to not be as dry and tangled. I think I will try other leave in detanglers on this website so I can make a better comparison

After I co-washed and deep condition my hair, I then use this to help put the finishing touches on my defined curl! It provides a light hold without being heavy or taking a long time to dry. I don't even have to use the the Curling Custard any more.

    This is an excellent leave-in conditioner. I have 3b, 3c, 4a One side is wavy, one side, the back, and top is curly, but the middle of my head is course. I have to use the Knot Today on the course section of my hair long with the KCCC. It works wonders. The only thing is my hair takes a long time to dry. Almost all day. Is also leaves my hair nice and soft. It moisturizes my hair and dries a little crunchy, but that comes out as soon as you crunch the hair. I use it faithfully.

    I want to review the Kinky Curly Come Clean Shampoo but don't know how since it is not listed so I am doing it here. I haven't tried the Knot Today Conditioner but I love the shampoo.I have very dry hair and wanted a sulfate free shampoo to use every day. I don't like shampooing every few days since my hair is thin and extremely frizzy and for some reason it gets really frizzy if I just use conditioner. Anyway, this shampoo smells wonderful, a little goes a long, long way and it makes my hair unbelievably soft and moisturized. I am Caucasin but my hair is 3a and fine. This shampoo is well worth the money. When I run out of my other conditioner I might try the Kinky Curly conditioner.

    I didn't have very good luck using this under anything other than the Curling Custard. That said, underneath the KCCC I get soft, defined curls that last through the next day -- in fact, this is the only thing that'll give me 2nd-day hair. While Knot Today isn't very versatile, it is fantastic at what it was made to do.

    I think the purchase of this leave-in is useless without the KCCC. It's moisturizing abilities are borderline. I think it would work great for finer haired curlies that don't require as much moisture or weight as opposed to a CG with thicker hair. Way too light. I felt that it was missing the one ingredient that it is known for not having. OIL!

    This product is one of the few leave-ins that makes Kinky Curly Curling Custard work like a charm for me. It also works under other gels, but the true synergy is with KCCC. It's oil-free and gives me soft, moist, clumpy curls. It's like a moisture cushion for the Curling Custard.

    Excellent detangler - even better than EMBC for detangling for me. This is a thinner conditioner which takes some getting used to. It doesn't have the slippery seaweedy feel that some would expect for a nice detangler, ut don't be fooled. This stuff melts knots and tangles. Appropriately named! Makes a nice leave in too as it is a lighter formula.

    It's a good detangler. I tried it with the Curling Custard and think the Custard is a waste of time and money but I like Knot Today. And I too would only buy it again for the smell. I have moisturizers at home that provide the samw effect and I can get them at the local hair supply store instead of paying shipping and handling.

    Its a good leave in, has a very slippery consistency and provides good slip to the hair. It works very well with the Curling Custard to aid in curl definition. When I tried it alone it worked well but was comparable to other leave ins I have tried. I gave it three curls for its slip and for how well it works with the custard. Oh yeah,it smells good too..If I purchase again that will be the only reason why.
