"This leave in is my go-to. My hair is going through a transition and so for this has helped in a positive way. From no head to adding heat for styling has been a concern. I use this for leaving conditioning and heat protection."

Good product for me

"I have 4c, fine hair that is naturally dry and I have been using this product. After washing and conditioning my hair I then use this product to blow dry my hair on the lowest heat. I have had no damage thus far. I also wash my hair while its braided in sections. So I have no knots or issues with detangling my hair . If you have knots or issues with tangles its just simply that the product is not for you and your hair type."

— Charlene (5/5)
