Hello dear ones, I haven't done a review in ages, so I thought I would share my experience of a new product that I have tried.

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.

My review:
I have DC'd with this product aout 3 times. It has a citrusy smell, but does not linger after washing it off. It's consistency is not runny but it is abit light in texture. One of the cons with this product is that It comes in a bottle which makes it hard to apply to your hair.
As the ingredients show, it does have a collagen relatively high up in the list. However, I would rank this as a light protein treatment.
On its own, I do not feel that it does an awesome job, so I usually have to help it by adding some oils to it or mixing it with a moisturizing deep conditioner.
However, I will buy this treatment again, because:
1) It is one of those protein treatments that do not leave your hair feeling straw-like. My bottle is about halfway now, so I suppose you could get up to 6 uses, which is good for its price.
2) It contains some good moisturizing agents such as glycerin
Regarding the "stimulates the roots of your hair" promise, I do not know how/ if it does that, and in any case I usually steer away from applying conditioners to my scalp.
My rating: 3.5 (good with other products but not on its own)
