The Truth:
Shampoo - I've used this shampoo on numerous occasions i.e. after a prepoo and without one. I find that if I prepoo before hand, my hair retains more moisture as opposed to going straight into the shampoo'ing stage. This is the only way I will use it (after a prepoo). It is a little stripping due to the SLS. However, what I love most is the SCENT. It's a wonderful exotic tropical scent (smells like a Pina Colada drink). I'm not crazy over this shampoo, so I'm not sure if I will continue to use it.
Conditioner - Awesome conditioner, leave-in and deep conditioner. I must admit that it's not the greatest at detangling my hair when I'm 8 wks + post relaxer. I'm quite disappointed, but I figured since it doesn't have any silicone in the ingredients. At the same time, my NG is extremely coarse so anyone who has a hair type of 3b,c or 4a should have a better time at detangling their hair. This conditioner increases the moisture levels in my hair. Every time I use it I'm amazed at how moist, soft and thick my hair becomes.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the duo, however, I think I might just stick with the conditioner- still undecided about the shampoo. I also noticed that these products have the same essential ingredient "Hydrolyzed Quinoa Protein" as the Aveda Damage Remedy Line. This would be a great alternative, but for less! =]
