My Experience:

The hydrating mask is amazing. I use this every other week with a heating cap for 30 minutes. I've also tried it for 5 minutes and my hair responded the same as doing it for 30 minutes. It has great slip. It detangles and leaves my hair feeling moisturized. Sometimes if my hair is dry, I'll apply the mask to dry hair and put my hair in a protective style. I love this stuff and would recommend this to every kinky curly head.

The oil is a different story. I've tried this oil on so many occasions because of all the hype about how well it moisturizes. I feel the mask does a better job. The oil is more for sheen. But, the ingredients are all that great and you could get the same sheen from castor, hemp seed, or coconut oil.

My Rating:

Scale is for 4b/4z only:

1- Would never recommend :(

2-

3-It has potential but wouldn't consider buying again

4-

5- Super awesome!!!

1 out of 5 for the oil. This product is great for sheen but does it with an excessive amount of silicones. It doesn't add moisture or lock in moisture on hair. I've even tried it on my Indian Remy lace wig and I didn't see any results there. You could purchase pure Agaran oil for a cheaper price .

5 out of 5 for the mask. I contemplated giving 4/5 for the ingredients not being mostly natural. But, it does a great job in adding moisture balance, softness, and suppleness to my fro.

Final Comments

As always, this is just my opinion on this product with my hair. Everyone's hair responds differently to different products and ingredients.
