The one time I used this product (so far), I may have over-used it -- it's very thick, and my hair gets very dry, so I used a lot and kept it on during the "deep conditioning" phase of my weekly shampoo and conditioning regimen. (I have used another product in this line for many years, so I thought I would try the conditioner for my curly hair, which tends to dry out several days after my weekly shampoo.) The result was awful. My hair was OVER-conditioned; came out oily, stringy and limp. Very disappointing. Since the company would deduct nearly half the cost of the product for the return shipping, I've decided I will try it again, using MUCH less.
