like the way it makes my natural nappy hair feel [SEP] this has the very very very faintest plant like scent which is clean and pleasing it is also thicker than i expected almost like a whipped lotion before i used it on my hair i rubbed some into the back of my hand to see if i would have any kind of skin reaction i did not what i noticed is that once this absorbed there was absolutely zero residue i do not know what that means but i was just curious when i rub in other types of hair masks treatments i always get a sense of something left that i need to wash off when i used this on my hair in the shower i left it on for to minutes after i had massaged it in according to the directions i have to stop and mention that i was also using the daelong shampoo and conditioner set beforehand that might be why i got my results this rinses out extremely well my hair felt conditioned but with a lot less of the residual slip from other conditioners that kind of worried me i like to know that a treatment is doing something the only way to tell until you have used it for a while is by the way your hair feels where i became so happy with this is an hour after rinsing it out i have coarse and nappy natural african american hair my hair tends to be extremely dry especially after washing a good conditioner keeps things in check until i can apply my leave in products oils butters sprays etc but this time my hair stayed soft and easy to comb through for at least hours it might have been longer but i went ahead and applied my usual leave ins still i know that this did soften my hair the day after my hair is retaining softness without any more leave in applications without making it feel fragile with they type of hair i have i have to worry about breakage i realize that i have probably been clogging up my scalp by over doing it with the oils and butters i like that i have not had to use more of them for my hair to feel manageable as a test i am going to try easing up on using so much leave in stuff while i continue to use thisi think these guys are on to something here i will have to come back and update this review as i use this for a while but for now i love the way this makes my hair feel even after just one treatment normally i only fully wash my hair once every four weeks or so i will do a co wash about every other week to keep it clean without stripping it while i am testing this out i plan to use it at least once a week as my co wash like i said i am also using the shampoo conditioner of this brand that might be a big part of why this worked so well for me but i think that this would work just as good on its own by the way i am going to alter my washing regimen for a while to use the shampoo and conditioner at least every other week i almost forgot to mention the other thing i was concerned about the label says that this makes the hair straight and silky which is exactly what i personally do not want i love my texture and want to keep it my texture is the kind that is prone to slow growth because of breakage so i am not worried about losing my naps i am thinking that this aids in stopping breakage more than anythingi got this at a very steep discount
