Silk Protein Conditioner for Damaged Hair - Ultra Moisturizing Conditioner for Dry Hair with Deeply Nourishing Shea Butter Argan Oil Green Tea & Aloe - Helps Define Curls & Control Frizz (16 Fl Oz)

I've been using this conditioner for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it! I have wavy-curly hair (in terms of length, it's about 3-inches below shoulder-length right now, when dried and curly) and I'm long overdue for a haircut (it's probably been about 6 or 7 months since I got one). And I know, I know...I should get my hair trimmed more regularly, but it's such a pain finding a reasonably-priced stylist, who also knows how to deal with curly hair, that I tend to judge when I need to bite the bullet and get a cut, by when my ends become completely unmanageable and unstylable.I mention all this, because about a month or two after I got my most "recent" haircut, I realized that I was already having problems keeping my hair styled not at my ends, but at my roots! Which definitely were NOT dried or damaged. At this point, I had been using Tresemme's curly hair conditioner for years, but decided it was time to test out new hair products, to see if that could help with this issue. I stumbled on Maple Holistics while doing some online Christmas shopping last year, and decided that it was worth a shot to splurge on a more natural product, even if it wasn't specifically a curly-hair product.Flash forward 4 months to today, and I am SO glad that I decided to test out this conditioner. Even though I DEFINITELY need to get a cut soon, I'm having no problem styling my curls, which still appear relatively undamaged. Best of all, my hair just looks and feels incredible now! This conditioner has made my hair unbelievably soft, and now I even find that after I shower, my hair has that hair commercial-like shininess to it (which I honestly thought only straight-haired women got). Overall, my hair now looks better, my scalp feels healthier (I've started having less trouble with dandruff, which tends to be an issue for me in the Spring and the Fall), AND my curls are much easier to style. In fact, I've found that since I started using this conditioner, my curls keep their shape for much longer, so now I'm able to avoid drying-out my scalp (and my curls) with too many washes in a week. Plus, I've also started getting tons of compliments from friends about how good my hair looks, since I started using this product.I'd say, that only downside about this conditioner is that the bottle is a little bit small. I have to pretty carefully ration-out my conditioner-use when I'm in the shower, but on the plus side, this stuff is so creamy and nourishing, that I don't have to use as much on my roots as I used to, when I was using other conditioners.Also, another slight note: if you don't like sweet-smelling products, it will take a few uses to get used to this product's smell. I'm really NOT into super "feminine" odors (for instance, floral, fruity, or cookie-based scents in perfumes or body products...they either make me want to gag or track down a bakery, because why on earth would you want to smell like a cookie or cinnamon roll, unless you have constant access to those desserts???) and this conditioner DOES smell like vanilla. Normally, I would hate this in a body/hair product, and it was a bit overly sweet-smelling for me the first few times I used it, but I've also gotten used to the aroma and I don't mind it anymore. In fact, the vanilla scent is only a bit strong while your using the conditioner in the shower, but afterwards, the scent becomes very subtle and I don't smell it at all, once I put in my other hair products.All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend this conditioner to anyone with wavy-curly hair, or just more generally, to anyone with dry hair. It will definitely help to condition your scalp and, if you are a sometimes-dandruff sufferer, like I am, the combination of this conditioner with the occasional use of any tea-tree oil shampoo, should really help to get rid of any dry scalp problems.

I was looking for a good conditioner to go along with my new organic shampoo that I purchased a few weeks ago. Before changing over to the better quality shampoo I had been using the bargain basement shampoo from target for a long long time. I just purchased the cheapest shampoo I could see on the shelf. Yeah you guessed it, I am a guy and getting up there at that. I had long hair when I was a teenager in the early seventies until I went in the Air Force,then good-by long hair, in fact good-by hair all together!!. I made a career of it and got used to short hair and kept it short for many years. A few months ago I decided I am going to let it grow out again and have a pony tail like most of the old retirees I see around.Well, it didnt take long to find out my hair was not what it used to be. As soon as it got a little longer it was all frizzy and dried out, looked terrible, I thought about going to get a hair cut and forget about the pony tail.My daughter came over and said your hair is all dried out from using that degreaser of a shampoo you use. So I went and bought a organic shampoo and started using that. It made a little bit of difference. After a couple of weeks my hair was still dried out.Ok, I am going to let you in on a little secret, I did some research on line about what causes your hair and skin to dry out like it does. And it always comes back to the water you are using to shower or bath in. The water quality in this country is terrible. Depending where you live they could be using Chlorine,Chloramines or Monochloramines to purify the water. Those chemicals you are absorbing while taking a shower dry out your hair and skin big time. And your breathing in the mist into your lungs while taking a shower. (that's bad)I went online and found a shower filter that removed the Chlorine and Chloramines and the heavy metals from my water and installed them onto my shower. Within three days I could feel the difference in my hair and skin. I can not say it enough, These shampoos and conditioners try to put back the natural oils that these chemicals in the water are taking out. Using these good quality shampoos and conditioners along with the shower filter makes a huge difference.I also installed a vitamin c shower head filter with a flexible hose a week after installing the first shower filter after reading about them and what the vitamin c does for your hair and skin. That was like icing on the cake. Even at my age my hair is soft and shinny. I cant believe it.My main filter is the Pelican I purchased on Amazon and the Vitamin c shower head filter I purchased on anther online store, but they do sell them on Amazon.If you decide to purchase a shower filter contact your local water company and talk to the water quality section to find out what they use to purify the water. Then check on the company website of the shower filter you are thinking of buying to see what the shower filter will reduce or eliminate, you might have to call the filter company as they don't always say what they "wont" filter out. Only a very few will filter out Monochloramines, some water companies use that instead Chlorine. Some use Chloramine and some use both Chlorine and Chloramine like my water company. A lot of the shower filter advertisements descriptions say they will reduce Chlorine but do not mention the other two, If they removed them they would put that in their advertisement. Check before purchasing, you might think that the filter you bought is protecting you when in reality it is not filtering anything.
