New Ingredients: Ingredients: Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coconut Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Vitamin B5, Green Tea Extract , Moringa Seed Extract, Sisal Extract, Fenugreek Seed Extract, Marshmallow Leaf/Root Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, Lavender Extract, Calendula Flower Extract, Chamomile Extract, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate This is a lovely leave-in. I have 2a/2b, porous, medium-fine, med density hair. I've had some great luck with conditioner-only styling with this product. It definitely moisturizes and helps define my waves also. I was initially worried about the glycerin, I live in a tropical climate w/ very high dew points and glycerin doesn't usually bode very well. However it's okay with this product. I think because coconut oil, a natural anti-humectant, is above glycerin, a humectant, and they kind of cancel each other out. This product has not given me the usual glycerin induced frizz. Overall I would repurchase and would recommend. Note: it does weight down my hair a little bit but I need a little bit of weight. If you have super fine and super low density (thin) hair, you might find it a bit too heavy, otherwise I'd say give it a try!

I Love this leave-in conditioner!!!! It is the best I have tried and will be the last!. This leave-in has no smell, which is fine, and has amazing slip. I can finger detangle my hair so much faster with the slip in this conditioner. I paired this conditioner with Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil and they worked together perfectly. My hair dried shiny and with a soft hold, it was perfect. Even better a little goes a long way. Compared to some other conditioners in the same price range, I will gladly pay $8.95 for this one without a second thought. Its worth it. I am so happy i found this conditioner and that it works so well on my hair. I bought this from Whole Foods. If you have Kinky coily hair and have a hard time finding a good affordable leave-in moisturizer then you should really check this one out.

This leave-in conditioner is perfect for my tightly coiled, Afro-textured hair. It's creamy, super slippery, very moisturizing, non-greasy and has great ingredients. It smooths my hair wonderfully, makes my hair quite pliable and leads to awesome braid-outs that separate very well. It works very well alone or when a moisturizer is layered over it [Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk]. It's also quite affordable--I buy it from herb[dot]com for ~$5 per 7 oz bottle. Needless to say, this product is a staple in my hair care routine. P.S. I've heard it compared to Karen's Body Beautiful Hair Milk/Ambrosia. I haven't tried the aforementioned but I thought it might help someone out to know it's a similar product.

I'm loving this leave in. A little goes a long way and it reduces the frizzies which is always a plus. It helps to keep my hair moisturised, smooth and happy.

Lately my thick, coarse, ultra frizzy 3b hair hasn't responded well to many of the products on this site. However, Alba's leave in seems to have the ingredients my hair likes and I've seen considerably less frizz. For the price of 2 tubes of this leave in you could buy just about 1 of most other leave ins. I'm very interested in trying the shampoos, conditioners and styling products from Alba Bontanica.

Good leave-in. When I pair with a moisturizer like Qhemet Biologics Moringa Tree Condtioing Ghee this becomes fantastic. This leave-in helps smooths my hair and boosts shine. My favorite leave-in second to Knot Today.
