What Curlies Say:

“I finger detangled each section–no comb. Detangling was a breeze! … As I rinsed it from my hair the next morning, I could see that my hair was plump and moisturized. I also noted that the treatment had absorbed well overnight.” – What the Kink

“I added about a teaspoon of coconut oil (optional”> … This has worked wonders for my hair and I already have all the ingredients at home! I also like to use Lustrasilk shea/mango cholesterol too. HTH.” – curlykey, Type 3b

“I helped it dry a little by lightly diffusing (mostly because I was afraid of having oil still in my hair”> and, boy, was I surprised to see my curls completely revitalized! They are soft, shiny and bouncy! This recipe is definitely a hit for me and I hope someone else will have similar results!” – cheeks1206, Type 3a
