It works great and I

"It works great and I love how it smells on my hair. However, the consistency is thick and my only other prior purchase of the same product was very watery and thin. I’m just wondering which is the true consistency. Thin and watery or very thick? I like the thicker lotion much better but it’s disappointing to think I was shipped a watered down bottle of hair lotion."
