This is a gentle conditioner. Depending on the week, I will apply it without the shampoo, so my curls won't become brittle. I still rather use a hair mask, but, if I have to wash my hair everyday (after swimming or sweating too much), this conditione...

This is a great hair mask, I just wish it was more dense (it's a psychological thing LOL). It is light weight, but my hair feels great afterwards.

Yes, the smell is intense, but the results are so worth it! I use this alone - without any other products - when I'm sure not see anybody in the next 24h! LOL. It's just the natural scent of castor oil, it won't change. But trust me. It's worth it.

To be honest, this one has proven to be too much to my hair, as even the texture changed. I used with a 20vol developer. Maybe with a 10vol would be better, but I'm not willing to try.
