Love, love, love it! Adds definition. I use it before the Ouidad climate control gel and it helps the gel hold better. I tried using a different leave in conditioner when I ran out of this and my curls didn't hold nearly as well.

I'm a 2a curl and this is the first conditioner that I have used that doesn't make my hair feel oily. Instead my hair feels very soft and I've gotten a lot of compliments on how my hair looks while using this product.

This leave-in is by far the best I have ever used. My hair no longer feels like a Brillo pad! I have used other leave-ins, but this one out shines all the rest! I will continue to use this product and will recommend it.

My hair is a mix of 3B/3C, so I find this to be too watery/slippery for my hair. (I usually prefer something a bit creamier.) I've managed to find a good balance by layering Ouidad's Climate Control Gel a few minutes after applying the Moisture Lock, and that usually gives me well-defined, moisturised curls. However, on its own, the Moisture-Lock doesn't completely satisfy me.

my favorite leave in. helps define my waves and leaves my hair really soft. i use it on the hair wet and then on 2nd or 3rd day hair sometimes. gives much needed moisture back to my hair and smells fresh & clean!

Ouidad's Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner defines my curl and moisturizes. If I could only use one product, this is the one. I have Type 2C hair -- looked thick and dry all my life. With Moisture Lock, my hair's shiny and soft. Love this stuff, use it whether I wash or not.

I like this conditioner. It works very well at keeping my hair hydrated. I use it with Ouidad's moisture lock conditioner and they work well together. I still have some fly-aways and a little frizz, so I can't give it 5 curls, but it does give me moisture and some curl definition. I would buy it again.

Simply love this product. I use it before applying climate control and also as an overnite condition treatment applied to dry hair about an hour before bedtime. It's great for helping to control frizz and not weighing your hair down. I couldn't live without it!

This is a leave in that you need to figure out what amount works for you b/c if you use too much it will weigh your hair down I try to use very small amounts on the back and ends of my hair and avoid using too much on my bangs and the front. It has a nice scent. I would suggest getting the sample first from the website which comes with several uses before buying this to see if it's right for you b/c it's expensive for it not to work

My new favorite Ouidad product ! I use it under the Climate Control Gel my true HG and get the least frizzy curls I've ever had.

Great stuff. I usually dislike leave-ins, but this one is light and doesn't weigh your hair at all. It leaves your hair soft and moisturized. The only draw back is the scent, smells like cheap soap from a motel, however after you apply styling products you can't really smell it.

good stuff. I think the idea of this conditioner being light-weight is a little deceptive. I used too much the first couple of times and my hair looked dirty. It's quite powerful, and I got really great results once i worked out the amount to use.

I love this stuff! It doesn't leave my hair feeling dry. Its also very light and creamy and goes on very smooth! I do not just use this and leave, I put a styler over it like "Curl Keeper" or "Rockin Ringlets" and its works BEAUTIFULLY. My hair is soft, and bouncy, and super shiny! :) My boyfriend loves it!

Good medium-weight leave in. Works well for layering with styling products and doesn't weigh down the hair or leave an oily finish.

A great leave-in. Doesn't feel heavy or sticky; doesn't negatively impact styler

I love this stuff. It's become a staple, especially with the dryer, colder weather. Perfect consistency.
