Organics - White Camellia Conditioner, 11 fl oz

I have been looking for a conditioner that does something good for my hair other than make it feel nice upon washing the conditioner out. I have long, relaxed African American hair (which is normally somewhat course) and while a lot of the more well-known conditioners are great at doing the latter, they do nothing for my hair once it is dry. It is still either dry, unmanageable, or a combination of the two until it is tamed with other styling products and tools. With the White Camellia conditioner this is not the case. After I use it (I use it as both a regular and deep conditioner), my hair is soft, easy to detangle, and has a nice shine to it. My new growth, which is usually resistant and a hassle to deal with, is soft and easy to style, especially when I need to flat-iron it.The only con is that I'm not too keen on the smell, which is an odd flowery smell that lingers for a few days. However, it is a price I'm willing to pay for a product that improves the overall health, appearance, and manageability of my hair. It's the first natural hair product that I've ever tried and it is now my staple conditioner. It's about 5 times more expensive than my normal conditioner, but it is well worth the price!Update: Make sure you rinse this out thoroughly! While I still love this conditioner, I've noticed that, unlike lighter conditioners, if you don't take the time to rinse this out thoroughly, you will be left with some yucky-feeling greasy areas in your hair. I've found that the best way to get all of it out is to apply an instant conditioner (which is thinner in consistency) to your hair after rinsing White Camellia out, and then rinse that out. The residue from the White Camellia will rinse out with the instant conditioner.

To all who are having a hissy fit and saying they changed the ingredients, they did not. If you'd looked at the AO webpage you would have seen the information as to why the way the ingredients are listed differently. An excerpt from their information is: "Before we go any further, we MUST clarify one point: Aubrey's natural formulas have NOT changed; only the way our ingredients are listed has. The moisturizer you used two years ago with ingredients listed by their "common names" is the same one you will find on store shelves today--the only difference is in the labeling.As Aubrey Organics has grown, we have moved into markets outside of the United States. We have thus found it necessary to adjust the manner in which our ingredients are listed on our labels.INCI, or International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, is a collaboration between the U.S. Cosmetics, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (now PCPC) and the European Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association. The goal: to establish a uniform, science-based method of ingredients labeling that increases consumer understanding, eliminates language barriers and helps resolve international trade issues. This format (INCI) is the standardized international format for listing ingredients on cosmetic and personal care products."So, stop wailing that your life and/or hair is ruined. Aubrey is the same as always. It's still an excellent product, just the same as it's always been. Really folks, do a little research before you start running around proclaiming that the sky is falling. You are spreading false information and it's not right.For the rest of you, this is a great line that is ridiculously moisturizing and smells lovely. Give it a try! But I do recommend that you do a clarifying wash at least once a month because the moisture CAN build up over time on certain hair types.

I love this. It's one of my faves. I use Aubrey Organics conditioner all the time (but not their shampoos, as I just don't like them, and they don't cleanse very well... instead I buy Chagrin Valley shampoo bars online), and this is one of my faves.This conditioner works VERY well at smoothing my naturally curly, frizzy, kinky hair, and the more I let it sit on my hair, the more smooth, soft, and manageable my hair becomes.I can't get enough!I also love the smell. :)

I have 4c hair at the crown/top of my head, and 4b in other spots. As a natural woman with not a lot of money to spare at times, I try to watch it when things are costing me well over 9 and 10 dollars. I gave this a shot having heard so many great things and reading the ingredients. The first time I tried it, I did not see the results I wanted. I eventually realized it was the other parts of the regimen I do that made this so. Eventually I tweaked this. I decided to Co-wash only. That's when it happened--I saw the cute little moist curls that I'd been looking for. The only problem? I had to use a LOT of product to get there. I would recommend this come in a larger bottle or have a two-for with a sensible price. While this stuff may not smell THAT good, it DID give me the moisture I wanted. To elevate this, I parted my hair into sections under the water of the shower. After de-tangling with a wide-tooth, I conditioned every section with a quarter-sized amount. The nickel and dime-sizes did not work for me. When I did this, I had amazing results. Loose, moist curls.Now...when it dried, I still had my curls. They were just dry. But my hair was as soft and as shiny as ever. It made my hair very easy to set up for my twist out. As a matter of fact, there were no tangles, no bunches. I just had a really cute, huge afro. All in all, this is not a bad product. It's just a bit pricey and may require some extra amount for some people. If you are trying to find out what works for you, I would recommend putting this on the back-burner for a minute and trying out Kinky-Curly's Knot Today.

I have fine hair, but a LOT of it. I also get my hair colored every month, so it needs extra care. For some reason I thought this one was for me.... how ever it was too strong. It worked nice on the bottom of my hair, but the top on the scalp looked greasy.... blah... I am trying Honey Suckle next... hope it has less moisturizer in it. So Caucasian hair even if colored.... not so good.
