Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner/Detangler - 8 oz

My daughter is 8 years old and has hair past her waist. Her hair is thick with slight wave with some little curls around her hairline. She has A LOT of hair, (think Arianna Grande's ponytail).I was struggling with her getting horrible knots and the ends drying out. The other problem was her getting frizz and flyaways hairs all over her head.(Sidenote: I really want to cut her hair short but she loves it long and it means a lot to her that shes got the longest hair at school. But for real shes getting her hair cut sooner than she knows!!)I graduated cosmetology school so I know a lot about hair and maintenance, her hair is high maintenance (highly porous, dry, plus damage from pool water and being slept on wet).I've tried a variety of high end and expensive leave in conditioners, shampoos and conditioners, oils, creams, treatments...Her hair is my biggest challenge.Kinky Curly Knot Today has tamed her wild hair! It has made the hairs around her crown area smoothed but not matted down. The mid-shaft to the ends look and feel nourished and moisturized. Her hair does feel a bit heavier, and I'm pretty sure its because it's now got the moisture she needs and with the volume of hair she has, it will make a considerable difference.I also love that the price is so reasonable! It's worth every penny since it reduces my workload on her hair, and cuts out the need for me to buy a lot of products that just arent working for us.My local beauty supply store doesnt carry the Kinky Curly line so I'm glad I can get it here.Oh, as for how I apply it, after washing and conditioning, I apply Kinky Curly Knot Today liberally through her midshaft down to her ends and proceed to gently detangle that areas applied.Then I drag some of the product on the comb through her hair base (the top of her head) I dont add a lot of concentrated product on her scalp as it will build up quickly and weigh down her already heavy hair.Then I put her hair in a low loose braid to air dry as long as possible. Then, when her hair is slightly damp, I will use a medium heat hair drier to move her hair around and loosen up the bulkier damp spots, not going for bone dry, just lightly speeding up the drying process. Her finished hair looks amazing. Like beautiful mermaid waves.I do straighten her hair sometimes but avoid it to keep the damage down.

I use it very lightly to moisturize my locs. Great stuff, and I never have to worry about buildup since the silicones are water-soluble, and it comes off easy.

I will try my best to describe my hair. I am a White American, my natural hair color is Auburn, naturally curly underneath and straight on top, coarse as a horses tail (extremely dry and coarse), my hair is extremely heavy (no way will bobby pins hold my hair up), takes me at least an hour to brush-out the tangles in my hair because as fast as I can brush out a section the rest of my hair starts to dry and curl-up.It is nothing for me to use a half of a bottle of conditioner so that I won't have to suffer trying to comb through it. I have bought every product on the market and even the "As Seen On TV" expensive product that automatically charges your account every month. Nothing has worked until now. I HIGHLY recommend this product. After reading other reviews this is how I used this product: After showering I ringed out my hair of excess water then then took a quarter size amount of the product in my hands and smeared between both hands and applied to my wet hair. I did this same amount twice (I have slightly below shoulder length hair). I was shocked. My big tooth comb went right through my hair. No tears and frustration of yanking out my hair trying to comb through. I then let my hair air dry and it kept a very soft curl. that lasted all night. I'm sold on this product. No more using a half of a bottle of product, yanking out hand fulls of hair, styling time cut in over half, and my hair no longer feels like a horses tail, now it feels healthy.

So the fist time I used it I used a lot on my hair and it was a disaster it made my hair frizzy and weighed my hair down but I tried in a second time and only used a little but per section and it looked good it made my hair soft and shiny and lots of definition love how it smells amazing!!

I purchased this for my daughter after lots of research trying to find a clean product that works well for curly hair. She has 3b hair and this product has been a game-changer. I usually dilute a tbsp into a spray bottle with water and detangle her hair with it and when her hair dries it is so soft, hydrated and bouncy with very little frizz. I really appreciate the short ingredient list because so many hair products for curly hair have WAY too many ingredients that are not necessary and usually harmful. The scent is also really mild but very pleasant as well and doesn't bother my daughter at all (she has asthma and is very sensitive to scents). We'll continue using this brand for our family and are so glad Amazon carries it.

I have been using this product for over 10 years. I am stoked to find it on Amazon - recently made my first online purchase. Previously I had to drive to the salon supply store every time. This is the primary product I use on my mid back length curly hair. I occasionally add other products but as a day to day only this one. I put a generous amount all over my hair straight out of the shower and on days I don't wet or wash my hair I spritz some water on my hair and hands over the sink and add a small amount to my slightly moistened dry hair to refresh the curl. If I do not put this product in my hair it is very frizzy with little curl definition. That being said I use this every single day and have beautiful curl definition. I am frequently asked by other curly hair women and men what I use and I always give the recommendation. Life changer. It is also light so it doesn't weigh down hair, no stickiness or stiffness. Leaves hair completely soft and malleable. The scent is delicate, not overpowering at all and seems to evaporate away quickly. I have tried some other kinky products over the years with much stronger scents which is too much for me.
