GIOVANNI Direct Leave In Weightless Moisture Conditioner - Co-Wash, Great for Curls & Wavy Hair, Wash & Go, Salon Quality, No Parabens, Infused with Natural Botanical Ingredients - 8.5 oz

I absolutely love this leave-in conditioner and my girlfriend does too!I'm a dude who used to style my hair with hair wax when it was shorter. Now that I'm growing my hair out, like really out, I needed something a lot lighter, something to help my thick curls which tend to dry out and get frizzy. My girlfriend has somewhat thinner, wavy hair and she loves this stuff too, her hair is shoulder length and very dark brown and it gives it a nice shine without weighing it down or making it look greasy.This stuff is amazing. The smell is gentle and natural, I usually forget it's scented because it's very light (this is a good thing to me). I use this stuff after every shower, pat some of the water out of my hair and liberally apply, because my thick, curly hair gets dried out very easily. Then I wait a while because my hair is getting longer, but once it air dries on its own, I run my fingers through and fluff it up. The conditioner has light hold and light shine so my hair looks really natural, feels super soft, and is hydrated. I've also been known to just rinse my hair in the sink to get rid of some bedhead, and I'll reapply this conditioner after that to the same results. I use this as my daily styling product because I like the loose, natural look of the light hold. If you wash your hair every day DEFINITELY use this to out some moisture back. If you don't wash your hair every day like me because your hair gets dried out too easily, the softness of this product is lasting. I get bedhead but my hair is still soft!Also it seems like I'm using a lot of the product when I apply it but the tube lasted me for far longer than I expected. It's a good size.

Our infant daughter is biracial---African american and Caucasian. We wanted a leave-in conditioner to protect her fine, smooth, corkscrew curls from drying out and hair breakage. We strongly prefer organic products and research all ingredients to make an informed purchase. Giovanni Direct Leave In conditioner is great! it is organic, the scent is barely discernible, and a dollop the size of a dime is plenty for her entire head of 5-inch curls. We lightly mist with water, apply Giovanni Direct, comb with wide tooth comb, and do a quick finger twist of curls, ponytails, etc. Her curls dry the slightest bit crunchy, but a light squeeze frees them to a natural bounce. For an organic product the price is great, too! In fact we looked at other Giovanni products and bought some for ourselves. They work great and cost about 25% of what other organics do. Win and win.

Very good product works very well time and money spent is worth it, have used it numerous times in the past would buy again and again!!

I ended up purchasing this product because I needed something else to make the shipping free. LOL! But I am glad that I did. I had heard wonderful things about it from other websites devoted to African American Naturally Curly/Coily hair and had always thought "one day" I'll check it out and just haven't in years I've been natural. But to the review:I applied this product to my hair directly after washing and towel drying my hair in sections of four. I was prepping my hair for 2 strand twist. As I started to twist, I noticed that this leave in has some great "slip" to it and it made my hair feel easier to twist. And the ends of my hair seem to curl around each other a little better which cuts down on the amount of gel I have to use. My hair felt like it was better moisturized, softer and it smells pretty good too without being overpowering like other products I have used, it's light and fresh. And the consistency is also light, which is a plus for me since my hair is very thick and any damp product in my hair tends to have an extended amount of time to dry. But the back of my hair was pretty close to dry by the time I was finishing up the front. I've had my twists in for 2 days now and my hair still feels soft and moisturized even though I haven't even sprayed my hair with anything at all. Usually I use a spray moisturizer every day after twisting my hair.I am thoroughly impressed with this product and I actually just looked it up at my local Wal-Mart (because I do not like to depend on products I can't get on a whim with a quick trip down the street) to make sure this is a product I will be able to have in supply whenever I need it.

Love this cream! Makes my hair soft and bouncy.

Great conditioner, I use this with Castor oil, jojoba oil and Aloe vera juice to make the kimmaytube leave-in conditioner. The Recipe is as follows: 2 Tbsp Leave-In Conditioner2 Tbsp Aloe Vera Juice2 Tsp Jojoba Oil2 Tsp Castor OiThis is great if you experience trouble retaining moisture. It has a slightly acidic ph which is best for hair. With or without additions Giovanni is my staple conditioner and I couldn't go without it for long. Many of my friends love it too.

The product is protein rich which I did not know. It dried out my hair and made it feel like stacks of hay. I have 4c hair and this product tangled it so badly and made it so that the problem could not be remedied. Every other product I used just sat on my hair and did not absorb. Not even water. I thought this was great for moisture but all the effects are negated by the protein in it. It did not define my hair no matter how much I used and it started to foam like a mousse after applying too much. Actually, it is exactly mousse. The crunchy feeling in you hair is the same feeling you get from mousse. Be careful if you are getting this product because you cannot return. And for my kinkier haired ladies, all the people that rave about this product have looser textures so it may not actually be for us. I wish I had noticed that before
