The Verdict                                
This has become my everyday co-washing conditioner for the remainder of the summer. I absolutely love how my hair and scalp feel after washing. It feels like all my pores have opened up & my overall head just feels so cool. I honestly wish I had this product when I went to Vegas because the cool sensation this conditioner leaves your scalp feeling is the perfect combat for heat and humid weather. One thing I noticed when using any of the Avalon Organic products is that it definitely defines my curls way more than that of Aussie Moist. Speaking of Aussie Moist, this conditioner doesn't have as much slip as Aussie -- but I did use it as a detangler & it the comb went right through. No problem. I'm definitely going to be using this for a DC treatment with some oils in a few days. As the days start to get colder, I will not be using it as much as it gives my scalp this cool feel that I may not want in the Fall. But until then, I definitely love using this for my co-washes 2-3x a week. All and all, I love the smell and love how this product makes my hair look and feel once done. I'm going to purchase the shampoo to try as well.

Recommend This?                   
Definitely! As I said, this is a great conditioner during the hotter months as it keeps you scalp cool. It will leave your hair feeling so rejuvenating and smooth!
