"I have very dry, processed, tangly hair. This conditioner does work well but I think I need to upgrade to something stronger. It's OK for now and will finish the bottle. I'm sure it will work like a charm for those with healthier hair than mine! The overall quality is a pleasure and we gotta love that it's organic!"

"This may have been the worst conditioner I've ever purchased. I had to use a huge amount just to get any conditioning effect in my hair (which is oily-normal to begin with) and it left my hair VERY tangled and unmanageable. Ugh, I won't buy this again."

"I like to use this conditioner after a very clarifying or even a moisturizing shampoo. It seems to get the balance back to my hair. Especially if the shampoo strips my hair, this puts the moisture back immediately, without weighing it down. Hair feels silky to the touch, and detangles (even though it doesn't promise this). Good for all types of hair; especially dry hair. Hair feels like I deep conditioned it even though I rinse after a minute. Best conditioner no matter what brand of shampoo you use."

"I love this conditioner. You don't need a lot to get the job done and my hair is in much better conditon now.

The only thing I am not thrilled with about this product is the bottle, itself. The product is fabulous. The bottle/container is difficult to deal with when the volume gets to the lower points.

I tend to have to remove the entire cap/lid from the bottle base in order to get the remainder of the conditioner out for use. It's quite a bit that is still left in the bottle at this point, too.

The conditioner is fabulous and I will continue to use it with each shampoo!"

""This conditioner is truly excellent! But there is one problem... The bottle it comes in has to be the worst design ever made on the planet - or close anyways! It looks like it was only created to make the amount in it look like a lot because it is only 8.5 oz. but designed to look like 12 oz or so. (It is expensive.) Many times I have had a hard time trying to get the product out of the bottle!!! Also, it's not very stable - it wants to tip over! I hate, hate, hate, the stupid bottle! But love the conditioner and just ordered more if you can believe it! Hopefully, Giovanni will read this review and change the terrible bottle design!""

"Normally I wouldn't use anything called "hydrating" on my pin-straight hair for fear of further flattening my hair, but this conditioner is awesome! Not only does it not weigh down my hair, but it gives it so much body without drying it out. The bottle needs work because it's difficult to squeeze - now I keep it upside down to get the conditioner out easier (or you can open the top.) Otherwise, just a PERFECT conditioner."

"Really, its amazing stuff. I'll never go back to other conditioners- I have thick, long, chemically straightened hair which desperately needed rehydration. Works better then TGI and matrix ( at about 1/5 of the price). On top of making it silky, it also shines up my naturally blonde hair :-)"

"I use this for myself and my two girls. I wanted a safer leave in conitioner than the Infusium 23 that my grandmother(a hair stylist) had me using for years. This works great as a conditioner and natural detangler for my girls. The smell is wonderful. This product is over $8 at my local health food store. It was one of the safer conditioners I found after lots of research."

"I have REALLY DAMAGED, EXTREMELY DAMAGED hair from dying my hair non stop. It's so frizzy, tangly now. Anyhow, I like this shampoo. It smells nice, and it works better than I expected. I love that it's only a #1 on Skin deep's list of hazardous personal products (0 is best). I don't rinse ALL the conditioner out, and leave a tiny bit in, and my hair is softer. My hair is still tangly in the parts where it has the most damage. But the other parts of my hair is really soft. I am experimenting with all the natural products, and this is the first conditioner, along with Smooth as Silk that I've tried. I like it."
