Makes my hair really shiny and soft. It was easy to distribute through my thick hair, which usually isnt the case with natural products. Ive also tried their tea tree shampoo, which lathered SO well for a sulfate-free product. However, I had to stop using it because I dyed my hair again and it states right on the bottle that tea tree will strip color treated hair. Now, I'm going to go buy the coconut shampoo and see how that works for me. But, you definitely will not be dissapointed with the coconut conditioner.

This has made my dry, damaged, unruly hair much more soft, healthy, and straight. I even had people comment on how nice my hair looked and ask if I did something to it (nope, just regular shampoo and this conditioner).

I also like that it is cruelty free and made from natural ingredients, and smells amazing (and the smell lasts a little bit on the hair). Now I want to try the shampoo from the same line.

This is my HG conditioner! Picture me, wild untamed curled biracial girl, striving to finally find a conditioner that doesn't weigh my hair down, that untangles my mane in a sec and that is nourishing! This product does it and smells heavenly, like you're in a tropical island. So dirt cheap and I will never turn back to another product from now on!Get 5$ (below total amount of 40$) to 10$ (when you reach 40$) off your first Iherb.com order with code EME922.

I bought this product after reading reviews on several blogs. It is a less messy alternative to massaging coconut oil into your hair. It smells pleasant, it has a nice consistency. Applied on half of the hair length, it does not make the hair greasy. It is not as nourishing as it claims to be. For the price, it is worth a try.

What an amazing conditioner. Not only does it work well, but it smells absolutely divine (like fresh coconut). I used this after I washed my hair to revive it from being super dry and it worked like a charm. I also used it to rinse out my henna and it made my hair sooo soft/moisturized. I would even say this acts as a deep conditioner on my hair- it's that good and the price is right as well. No silicones either.

My hair is to my lower back, straightish, finely-textured, and very thick. I have a normal scalp, while the ends of my hair tend to get dry if neglected. I also use henna regularly.

I bought this conditioner on sale for $4 and am very glad I did. It keeps my hair adequately moisturized without overdoing it. The texture is light but creamy and a little goes a long way. I definitely have an easier time with detangling after I use this stuff, plus I have less trouble with frizz. I like to use this as a regular conditioner, a leave-in, or a deep treatment. The scent is very pleasant and I have gotten compliments on it, but it is quite strong and it will linger in my hair for days and days until I need to wash my hair again.

Ever since Garnier added silicone to their Triple Nutrition conditioner, I have been worried about finding a replacement and this fits the job.

PROS:
- Light, creamy texture
- A little goes a long way
- Moisturizing (but not what I'd call super-moisturizing
- Pleasant scent
- Nice packaging
- Good multipurpose product (leave-in, deep treatment, regular conditioner)
- No silicone
- Natural ingredients

CONS:
- The scent is very strong

For reference, I have color treated hair that is oily at the roots and dry at the ends that I heat style almost daily, and I live with hard water in a desert. I switched to this a little over a month ago. I have been slowly weeding out some of the chemicals in my beauty routine, and discovered that 'cones just mess up my hair eventually. I saw good reviews on this product and it was on sale at Target ($7) so I bought it. I am terrible about constantly switching out my S&C but this is staying in my product line!!! I love the smell, very naturally coconut, and it really adds moisture to my hair that lasts. I have about 50-60% less split ends than I did before, my color has stayed truer longer, and overall my hair feels so much better. I hate to say HG, but this is definitely in the lead for it!!!
UPDATE: I recently ran out and had to replace with Giovanni Smooth as Silk. Have to say the DE is soooo much better. I miss it! continued >>

I like the naturalness of this product and how it makes my dry, frequently dyed hair quite soft and smooth although the effects are not lasting. As the product is thickish in texture, I had to exert a fair bit of force to squeeze the conditioner out of the tube. And while I love coconut smells, I found the fragrance on this a bit artificial and almost plastic-y. Unfortunately, this hasn't impressed me enough for me to want to repurchase.

This conditioner (like the shampoo) comes in a squeeze tube, which makes it very easy to use in the shower. I bought mine for approximately $10CAD but, a little does go a long way. It smells amazing, doesn't cause breakouts, rashes, itchy scalps OR eczema and it's organic! To top it off, your hair becomes smooth and shiny because of the coconut oil... I pair it with the coconut shampoo by Desert Essence and it just works really well for me.
