This is an amazing product it conditions your hair and keeps it healthy and softsoftens and moisturizes braided hair, easy spray application
Left my hair so soft and moisturized! Initially my hair was braided...it made a HUGE difference...it's a great moisturizer and the spray bottle makes it easier to apply than a cream.no buildup/flaking on locs (vs other products)
Most products flake up on my scalp...I'm so glad I found this. It leaves my locs feeling soft and hydrated without any buildup or residue.keeps color-treated locs moisturized in heat/humidity without buildup
I like that is keeps my color treated traditional locs moisturized, especially in the middle of Texas's summer heat...I don't have buildup.Price check

How this page was made
- This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
- We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
- The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
- The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
- The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
- 9 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
- Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
- This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
