TRESemmé

I've been using this for a few months and so far, I love it. The best things about this are that it does not weigh my hair down, make it look greasy, or have that sticky feeling some heat protectants do. Whether I blowdry, straighten, or curl, it makes my hair soft, shiny, and frizz-free. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the smell; their Luxurious Moisture shampoo is one of my HGs and it smells great but this ism't as good. That said it doesn't linger and is a small price to pay for such a good product.

Still sad this has been discontinued, especially because I just used the very last of my supply. Now I have to search for a replacement after 10 years of using this stuff faithfully. Detangles like no other! So disappointed they discontinued it.

I have 2C/3A curls with medium density and high-ish porosity (takes ages to get wet and ages to dry) with some heat damage. At first I LOVED this stuff, for starters it smells HEAVENLY, really great fragrance that makes me happy to smell my hair and towels after I shower. But i’m starting to realise that it isn’t terribly high quality (duh, for the price I couldn’t expect more). So for starters the slip isn’t amazing. It isn’t awful either but it makes detangling rather unpleasant. What I’m noticing is that it seems to leave a weird film??? For example, I will put the tiiiiniest amount on my hands and immediately my hands feel coated in this weird...layer? It’s hard to describe, it just feels not how a good moisturising conditioner should. And if I put that tiny amount in my hair for a leave in, it feels like way too much and my hair automatically feels a little weighed down which is really confusing—I wish I could explain this better. Over time I believe it’s also started to make my hair drier, gradually my wash days have become more frustrating. My first few were great, and this conditioner helped me focus more on technique, which I’m grateful for. But now that my hair is more limp and unhappy, the issue of products has been brought to the forefront of my mind. At first I thought it was the LA Looks gel which was making my hair weird (I still think that stuff isn’t all that amazing) because when my curls would dry they would get all caught up with each other. Like if I lifted one clump it would have all these lost strands that were connecting it to other clumps, making my hair poofier and undefined, also giving me more tangles. I will probably no longer use this.
