Again, as it is the case for all Freeman products i have ever tried, i love the smell (it doesnt stay in hair for long though, unfortunately).
The conditioner is quite good, it is not amazingly good, but feels good and nourishing on my long curly hair with dry ends. I use it from time to time.
I would repurchase only for the smell for sure.

My friend was touching my hair and remarked "your hair is so soft!" well this is the only thing new in my hair care so it's a keeper for life. I've also gotten lots of compliments on how shiny and gold my hair looks (I don't color my hair).

I love this conditioner. It's really moisturizing, it smells great and it's cheap! I don't use the matching shampoo. Im sricken with dandruff so I swear by head and shoulders.

Great product. I use it with my regular shampoo. I have naturally curly hair that's dry and it leaves it moisturized. It smells good, is cheap, and best of all, doesn't test on animals!

What I didn't expect from this product is a terrific volume it gave to my normal to fine hair. You could feel it just by touching the hair. I was amazed! Will be sure keep repurchasing.

This is my cheap alternative to Pureology Nano works.
The smell is artificially delicious. I use this conditoner twice a week and it works wonders. My hair is pretty damaged due to coloring and hair extensions and this makes it soft and shiny. After using it, I don't have to use serum or shine spray. Plus my hair smells like fake mango all day.

I like this a lot. Typically, I use Redken All Soft conditioner, which is very moisturizing and very, very expensive. This was my cheap alternative for summer, summer being the time when I don't quite care how my hair looks and when it itself gets oily. My routine involves applying the Papaya and Lime conditioner all over and then this from ears down and leaving it for as long as my patience lasts.

Overall, I find my hair smoother and shinier when I use this. It is not as soft as when I use Redken, but it is less weighed down. I'm not sure why others are having trouble with detangling after this, but I can definitely say that for me, it does not "coat" hair strands. I guess my advice for this would be to try it out. After all, it's only about three dollars.

Massive moisture, what a crock. After shampooing with the matching shampoo, I could tell that my hair was going to already have some issues, as it seemed to dry out and tangle my hair. I then used this conditioner and my hair became a tangled, dry mess that was somehow coated with something so that it was weighed down and heavy. Ugh. Thankfully this went away after I went back to my normal products. The thing is, I don't even have dry hair! And I love drugstore stuff so there's no issue there -- simply, this product just sucks. I gave both to my parents immediately and told them to give it away if they hated it too. Teaches me to buy cheap shampoos and conditioners on a whim w/o checking MUA first.

This conditioner works great on my naturally curly processed hair. I love Freeman products! Definitely a nice change from the HEAVY silicone products. I will repurchase freeman products again and again. The shampoos are great too! Worth the money!

I picked this up for a sweet deal this week at RiteAid--buy one get one free, and a free-with-rebate deal on one...so the set of shampoo and conditioner was free! Not bad. Anyway, I have some highlights so I like to use conditioning treatments on occasion, but this one's not great. The scent is okay, not as delicious as any of their other lines, but not gross or anything. I left it in for a few minutes, as indicated on the directions, but when I rinsed, there wasn't much detangling action. I could hardly brush through it afterward, and had to use a leave-in conditioner. Boo to this. I also must complain since this comes in a much smaller tube than the matching shampoo, so this will obviously run out first.
Update 6/21/07: Found this in my unused gym bag, and decided to give it another go since I've just cut 10 inches off my hair, and thought it might work better with shorter hair. Nope. Couldn't brush through it after rinsing, and even after I dried my hair, it was tangly all day! FAIL.

i love this stuff! i have short and sort of thick hair, which tends to go frizzy in the humidity. I use this w/the shampoo every day, and my hair always looks good. It gives me just enough moisture, but not too much. it doesnt weigh my hair down at all. i love it!

The packaging says "This creamy moisture treatment with sweet papaya and vitamin-rich mango, repairs breakage and split ends, resulting in soft, conditioned hair."

I've lived in a tropical paradise lol, eaten papaya and mango and have tried other products with papaya and/or mango, but this doesn't smell like either one or both.

I tried this because it's safe for color-treated hair. I don't have breakage or split ends so my hair (long, straight) is pretty low maintenance. While it didn't damage my hair, it didn't make it soft either. No detangling whatsoever. My hair kind of glides back when I'm rinsing with some conditioners, but it just felt heavier with this. Although it's cheap and has no animal ingredients, I won't be buying this again.

It smells great, but doesn't work well. It left my usually shiny and soft hair feeling like an oily bird's nest. Crunchy. It worked better after I layered it over another cheap conditioner (suave milk and honey). I'm basically trying to use the tube up because I'm a cheapo, but I'll certainly never purchase it again.

I had a hard time deciding wether to give this 3 or 4 lippies. I don't like the fact that it doesn't detangle my hair. I have to use a huge amount of this to get them detangled. And the smell isn't that good either. But, with the combination of Joico K-pak shampoo and this Freeman conditioner I've had very nice results: my hair is left soft and shiny. So I guess this is an ok conditioner. But it could detangle better.

I picked this up at ulta, and I can say that I am not overly impressed. I love Freeman, especially the masks and foot products, but this is only meh. The smell is great, it was really cheap, and the packaging is great. However, I do not find this to be nearly as moisturizing as the new garnier sleek and smooth mask or the new VO5 Oasis deep treatment. When I first put this on my hair it makes it feel kind of rough and tangled. Once it is rinsed out, my hair feels smooth, but no more moisturized than if I'd used regular conditioner. I would not repurchase because there are a lot better products available in the same price range.

Another great product from this line. I use this once a week as a deep condition, and use the papaya and lime conditioner during the rest of the week. This has some silicones, but they are far down on the list and the actual moisture is coming from botanicals. This soaks in well, smells great (fruity, but it fades after rinsing), really moisturizes all day, and does not weigh hair down. Overall a winner. The ingrediants are: water, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearalkonium chloride, panthenol, magnifery indica (mango) fruit extract, macrocystis pyrifera (kelp) extract, carica papaya (papaya) fruit extract, cocos nucifera (coconut) extract, elaeis guineensis (palm) oil, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, cyclomethicone, dimethicone, amodimethicone, thedeceth-12, behentrimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride, propylene glycol, dmdm hydantoin, disodium edta, propylparaben, methylparaben, fragrance.
