Yep I love it, I have another bottle waiting, so when my first one is finished I can just keep on using it.

it smells lovely to me, kind of like spicy gingerbread. it’s thick but very moisturising I have found that I don’t really need that much.
I think it can be used a deep conditioner, rinse out and leave in. I have used it as all 3 and really like each result I get from it.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about this co. Very tempting .... do you think it would be too heavy for a 3a yella?

for a leave in possibly too heavy, but as a rinse out I think it should be ok, I really don’t use a lot anyway and i have fairly thick mid back length 3b/c hair so i guess it could be ok if you use a small amount.

I’ve been wanting to try this for ages given the rave reviews it’s getting. If it’s half as a good as the peach kernel milk, it’ll be great. :-D

It was a couple of months ago - I used it once and my hair freaked so I put it straight on the swap board.

So I’ve now used this twice and love it! Have been using as a rinse out condish, combing thru (have started combing again for even distribution), leaving in for 15-20 mins and then rinsing. Hair is very soft upon rinsing (more so than with my other favourites AOHR/Biolage) and LOVE THAT SMELL! Am so glad it smells the way it does - kinda milky/vallina-ery custardy - not too sweet and no coconut (so many of the products I use smell of ‘very sweet coconut’ and I’m a tad fed up with this smell!) This is a keeper for me

Tried a little today as a leave in under Darcy’s Natural Coils Curling Jelly and it has worked really well. Will post up a separate review of the Jelly so it can be found in the forums.

Just want to officially add my love of this conditioner. It’s got great slip, a great scent (pumpkin pie!), and leaves my hair amazingly moisturised and happy. My hair generally hates oil but loves this conditioner. My new favourite. :-D
