This product is not good

"This product is not good at all! It’s suppose to be lightweight, but it is the total opposite. It makes my 4a/4b hair feel horrible. The cheap moisturizer from Walmart or the beauty shops work better than this black owned brand. I’m very disappointed as I love the shampoo and heat protection from this brand."
