darlingdiva - Hair Type: 4a I am a 4a/4b natural, and I love this products. It works more like a moisturizing conditioner on my hair, though. If my hair is feeling dry, I'll put this on it. The best thing about this conditioner is that it performs well all by itself. I am not a fan of mixing things together to get them to work, so that is a major plus. It works well with or without heat. I just put it on my hair for one hour and rinse.
GPB is always in my product rotation.

BeachCurlGurl - Hair Type: 3a Very nice protein loaded conditioner. Left my hair nicely conditioned. Smell is a bit strong.

onethousandcurls - Hair Type: 3b This is good for nothing but its intended purpose - a good shot of protein. I used this as a protein DT as needed when my hair was still damaged, and it was amazing. Really gave bounce and life back to my curls, and never left me dry (although for good measure I followed with a moisturizing condish, still, I could tell when rinsing the GPB didn't dry me out).
I recommend, but again, it has its particular use which for me isn't a need anymore.

curlyhairmichuk - Hair Type: 3a I love this conditioner. It really helped my hair when it needed protein. I used it as a rinse out and a leave in and it was great. Now I use one or two times a week depending on needs as a rinse out. At first I didn't like the smell however I actually like it now!

loreas - Hair Type: I love this conditioner. It smells great, doesn't cause much build-up but keeps my hair moist. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't work for me as a leave-in.

Ceallachg - Hair Type: 2b I love, love, LOVE this conditioner! It has the look and feel of Noxema (and smells a little like it, too), but it is a wonderful conditioner if your hair likes protein. Although it's thick, it's easy to spread and not too heavy for my fine hair as long as I use it as a regular conditioner rather than a leave-in. I can see where it might not work for people with coarse hair, but it leaves my hair silky smooth! It even helps detangle my hair after I let it sit for a few minutes. I sometimes leave a little of it in my hair when rinsing, but I never use it as a co-wash or a leave-in because it's too heavy for my hair and I prefer a less medicinal smell. Can also be used as a DT.

FrizzBgone - Hair Type: My hair was really soft after using this. It is a nice alternative when you don't want to do a protein DT.

Greatcurls - Hair Type: 4a I have seen wonderful results with GPB. It strengthens and softens my hair. Since it's a protein conditioner, I deep condition with it about 2-3 times a year. I eat alot of protein, so I don't need much protein on my hard. Otherwise, my hair would become hard and brittle.

TengoFive - Hair Type: I did this as a DT as directed on the bottle, but it matted up something fierce! I used a brush to work it in, but as soon as I'd put smooth more on it would mat up again. I left it in for the 15 minutes as recommended, then co-washed. After co-washing I did an acv rinse and my hair turned wonderful. So, the matting bothered me, but if the curls are the product of the conditioner it may be worth it.

minicurl - Hair Type: 3a Works great on dry damaged hair. I use as a deep conditioner let sit on wet hair for one hour.
