Smell: Kind of floral but I’m not really a fan of the smell...

Consistency: Lotion like

How I used it: After I pre shampoo’d and washed my hair, I applied the conditioner all throughout my hair and plopped my plastic cap on for like an hour or so. After rinsing I deep conditioned.

Thoughts: My hair felt strong, but not soft. Because technically this is a protein conditioner I was not expecting my hair to be soft. The breakage I was experiencing definitely decreased after usage. This treatment was much needed. I haven’t used it as a leave-in yet but when I do I will most likely layer it under a moisturizing one so I can have a protein-moisture balance. I’ll update when I try this. Even though I don’t like the smell, it doesn’t linger very long after rinsing.

Would I Repurchase?   Yes, it left my hair strong and the price is so good. I also like that it can be used as a leave in so I won’t have to buy a separate protein leave in conditioner.
