Lots of fake reviews...this stuff is kind of awful
-----EDITED------ Since Arvazallia didn't like the fact that I bashed their marketing tactics (see their sweet response below), let's remove that part of my review and stick with just my opinion on the product. So, here's the deal. This is nothing more than a thick conditioner. Conditioner is always good for your hair, so if you just want a conditioner in a fancy red tub, it's fine. It actually made my hair feel heavy and I felt like I had a gross residue...like I didn't wash all the conditioner out of my hair, even though I definitely did. I hate the smell. It smells like cheap old woman. It has 0 benefits aside from just being a conditioner. It didn't repair my hair, didn't make a miraculous difference in the texture of my hair. I was hoping for something that was actually "repairing" with argan oil being a main ingredient. I wanted something to continually make an actual difference in my hair, rather than offering superficial repair with silicones - which weigh my hair down and make it look greasy. Since they fail to list the ingredients anywhere in the description...let's talk about them so that people better understand the rating I gave: Amodimethicone, Trideceth-12 & Cetrimonium Chloride - These 3 work as a triad, which is why they are all listed together. This silicon is really beneficial for most people's hair. It will create a thin coat, particularly where there is a lot of damage, smooth down the cuticle and provide superficial "repair" to your hair. This is why your hair will feel much smoother and appear much shinier after using this product. This is great! Very logical that this "deep conditioner" contains this ingredient. Does this make your product superior to others? No. In fact, the majority of conditioners at CVS contain this ingredient. Hence my assessment that this was a "thick conditioner in a fancy red tub" - because...well, it is. I can find this same ingredient in a $2 bottle of conditioner. Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone - a duo of silicons. Very common in beauty products. Works very similar to our triad friends above. Only downside - it builds up in hair over time. Hence my assessment that my hair had a residue. Because...well...it did. Hydroxyethylcellulose - this is a thickening agent. This makes the conditioner thick, but it also provides conditioning properties to hair. It absorbs water in your hair and swells to make the hair feel thicker. Again, not a bad thing - but very common in hair products. Nothing revolutionary about it. Argania Spinoza Kernel Oil - is it 100% pure? Teartrimonium - Anti-static. Tetrasodium EDTA - Preservative. Citric acid - Clearly "acid" - but not in a bad way. Citric acid in conditioner helps the hair appear shiny and smooth. Methylchloroisothiazolinone/ Methylisothiazolinone - preservative. Actually toxic to fish. So, basically what we have here is a lot of silicones, a thickening agent, a wee bit o' argan oil and preservatives. It probably does make a lot of people's hair feel amazing, but for some people with curly or very thin hair...this may cause the issues I experienced. Heavy, coated hair. Is it repairing hair? No. Can I find a $2 conditioner with a majority of these ingredients? Probably. So, as much as you want to go on the defense about your marketing tactics, my review was product based - and a fair review at that.
