My Experience:
I used this treatment on my hair as a deep conditioner. I applied it to my dry hair, covered with a plastic cap, and let sit on my hair for about 20-30 minutes. Then I rinsed it out and carried on with my normal wash routine.

Fragrance:
The fragrance was a very light butterscotch scent.

Results:
I applied this treatment to my hair when it was dry, and before I even let it sit for a while I was able to run my fingers thru my hair with ease. I felt my hair was moisturized. My hair soaked up this product quickly. When I did rinse it out, my hair did feel like it didn’t rinse clean until I cleansed, which is probably due to the mineral oil and dimethicone that is pretty high up on this product’s ingredient list.

Moisture:
This product does moisturize. My hair immediately perked up and absorbed the product right in. My hair was softer and more manageable but it did feel weighed down when I rinsed the product out.

Price:
I feel the price is way too high considering the ingredients and size of the jar. I was only able to get one use out of the jar. I have access to other product lines in Walgreens, Target and Walmart now at a much lower price point that give me more product and better quality ingredients.

Final Thoughts:
I did like how the product worked and I loved the scent. However, the price is way too high for the amount you get and the ingredients found in the product. I prefer to use products that do not contain cones or mineral oil and this product had both, and several other ingredients I can’t pronounce. I would not use this product again for those reasons. But for someone who isn’t too much ingredient conscious than it may be worth a try, if its within your price point.
