I have been using natural products on my hair for years now. I noticed the one I have used the longest hasn't helped in hair growth & decided to try this. After using for the first time, I am impressed. The way my hair felt by the time I got to the conditioning step was a WOW. (I didn't pre-condition my hair before use either). My hair didn't feel stripped but my scalp felt clean. After conditioning my hair was incredibly soft & I have some of the tightest curls ever! I liked the conditioning mist too. Yeah, I think I'll be switching to this as my #1 supplier, lol.
