This balancing deep conditioner left my scalp feeling clean and rejuvenated. My curls were soft, but not as soft as say…the “Bentonite and Sea Clay” or the “Righteous Roots Manuka & Marshmallow Root” DC’s from this line. The scent is mild/strong with a very fresh floral aroma (not perfume) with notes of fruit; which doesn’t linger long after washing. The consistency is light and smooth vs dense and creamy, so it penetrates and glides into the hair very well. From my results and from their claims it works as a balancing conditioner to clean the scalp and soften the strands in the process. I have a sensitive scalp and none of the ingredients in this product aggravated or agitated my scalp. I don’t feel like it stripped away any extra oils from my strands; they felt clean, strong and not hay-like. I would use this DC periodically in my healthy scalp regime to help further treat my scalp and hair.
