My review:

I have DC'd with this product about 4 times. It smells like all the other products in this product line, abit of a sharp but acceptable smell. I am abit sensitive when it comes to smells, I can easily fall sick if a smell is too overpowering. The smell does linger after washing it out, but by the time I am detangling my hair it is minimal.

The consistency is relatively thick given that it comes in a bottle. It is a creamish colour. I usually pour some into a bowl for ease of application, I like using my hands to scoop the DC and apply to my hair.

The ingredients of this product say it all. All of those fatty alcohols really do convert to moisture: Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol & Behentrimonium Methosulfate.

My hair always feels soft after washing out this conditioner. I really can feel the moisturizing impact, which is really great especially for my unruly new growth. The only problem with this product is that the softness does not last long, after about 2 days my new growth is back to dryness, which is not cool.

I have mixed it with oils once or twice, but it did not give a significantly improved effect.

I do not know if I can attribute less shedding when detangling to this product, but every time I use it, I do not shed as much as with other deep conditioners.

I also think it is good value for price, as I can get about 6 uses from the product, and I do apply it liberally to my hair.

Overall I like the product, and will also be mixing it with other DC's to see how it works. I have not tried it as a pre-poo so next time I am doing a pre-poo I will try it out. This is probably the first deep conditioner that I have bought since starting my hair journey that will become a staple in my regimen.
