thiis conditioner was ok. I can't say it was any better than any other conditioner but i never use conditioner on its own. i always add something to enhance it. With that said, it did what it was supposed to do.

Great conditioner, though could use a bit more of a detangling agent. My hair is at my waist, so it would probably detangle average length hair more easily. I mixed this base with Mango, Peach, and Vanilla FO, as well as bee's pollen, apricot kernal oil, and fruit complex. The smell is amazing & it leaves hair smooth and shiny without weighing it down at all.

Because my scalp is extremely sensitive and prone to itching and flaking, I had taken to using large bottles of TresEmme Naturals and mixing it with essential oils. And it was better than any of the commercial conditioners I had tried, but nowhere near as good as this: I've been using this (mixed with Lemongrass, Rosemary, Chamomile and Mint EOs) for a month and a half now, and no more visible flakes on my black shirts. Not one itchy fit either. Even my hair-separation-line (previously pink) has changed colors because my scalp is not constantly irritated anymore. Oh, and the hair looks good too. Love it! :)

I love this conditioner! It is so easy to add essential oils and other additives to customize conditioners for my customers. However, my only (minor) complaint is that it does not accept color very well. It comes out looking mottled. Has anyone else had this problem? Otherwise, this is amazing!

This is a very nice cream rinse. I like how it feels and the end results. However, I can't seem to overpower the underlying scent of this product. I use a Rosemary and Lemon Essential Oil Combination (the same as in the shampoo - and the scent is wonderful!!), and no matter what I use, the only thing I can smell is a fragrance that reminds me of Tame Creme Rinse from the 60's and 70's. So, that is somewhat of a turnoff for me.

This conditioner is incredible! My hair is extremely damaged from to much coloring. This conditioner, a bit of my favorite butters and some Myrrh resinoid leaves my hair feeling silky soft, manageable and shows no signs of damage. Best conditioner I've ever made / used! I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Very impressed with this product. Mixed a bit of jojoba and orange oils together, then added it to 2 oz of the conditioner base. Tried it in my hair. The results were comparable to a well known retail brand that I HAD been using regularly. Moisturized and conditioned very well. Not bad ND. I'm looking forward to trying a few other formulations with this base.

I bought the shampoo and conditioner bases as my hair is very dry and damaged I added almond oil, coconut oil and rosemary to both and now I wouldn't go back to the grocery store. My hair is soft, silky and much easier to manage....I'm looking forword to buying more and trying different combinations

This conditioner is working extremely well. I want to know if this can be used as a leave in conditioner as well. I am so tempted to smooth some of this on my hair and not rinse it out because it feels so good on my head. Thanks for such a wonderful product!

Tried the conditioner with the SLS free shampoo for the first time this morning. Loved them both. I have fine hair and it's hard to find a conditioner that works without making my hair look greasy and limp. This does the trick nicely. Great product!

I LOVE this conditioner! I have used other "natural" conditioners and they were all okay. This one is amazing!!!!! I use it on my 4 yr old's hair that reaches to her bum and every time it leaves her hair shiny and managable. It also works great on my shoulder length fine hair, doesn't weight it down or leave it greasy. FANTASTIC!!

This is a must for any type of hair. I love it, my friends love it. It is great for dry, thick, oily, thin hair. You can add a lot to this base and still have a superb stable conditioner. Or, this is the best part, use it as is for fabulous results!! I highly recommend. No oily, weighed down hair, no frizzy, dry hair. It's a must for anyone needing a conditioner.

I just tried the conditioner this week, and wow. My hair is thin-lot's of it but it gets oily by the end of the day. Using this product, and adding a drop of lavender and a drop of gerainum my hair was beautiful all day. It held shape and did not feel or get oily by the evening. New Directions has the best products.

This conditioner is very light. My hair tangles pretty easily and this just isn't cutting it. I can see where someone who doesn't need detangling would like this conditioner. It doesn't weigh your hair down and takes the oils well. I think I'll try the Ultra Premium conditioner next time and maybe won't have this problem. But for the price? Can't beat it!

I just received the SLS conditioner and will certainly be adding this product to my line of hair care products. Having wonderfully super coily/curly, natural Afro-hair that is also called (there I say) "nappy" by some, finding a conditioner that will offer superb detangling attributes without leaving hair feeling stripped is a huge dilemm! Well this one met the challenge! I have several clients and friends who have similar hair types as well as those with relaxed and color-treated hair who I think this would be great for!

We have try many differnt types of conditioners. Your product is the best we ever used. We used AVEDA (Damage Remedy), Avalon Organics (Nourishing Conditioner), Bath and Body Works (Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Conditioner), and TRESemme' Conditioner... All of them does not maintain moisture for my hair. Your conditioner acutally can keep my hair shin and flow. We are very impressed.
