I have been using an expensive product for years when I saw this on the shelf. I figured for $5 I should give it a try before going back to my old standby! I love it! It sinks into my hair, doesn't way it down and just keeps it looking soft and healthy and not dry. I used it to straighten my hair as well and it really worked. It is totally worth a try if you use a salon brand on a daily basis for that can add up! It has minimal if any smell and again sinks into hair and I do not feel the need to get the grease off my hands!
