Direct Leave-In Weightless Moisture Conditioner - Co Wash, Great for Curls & Wavy Hair, Wash & Go, Salon Quality, No Parabens, Infused with Natural Botanical Ingredients - 8.5 oz, (3 Pack)

(preamble - I am a biracial guy (black father, white mother) - I never paid much attention to the curly hair types but at at glance I'd suppose I have 3A or 3B. Long and loose) I am another former Mixed Chicks user who decided to check this stuff out once the Mixed Chicks leave-in ran out and I was looking for a less expensive alternative. Well, not only is this stuff less expensive (a 3-pack of these 8.5 oz bottles is only slightly more expensive than a single 10 oz bottle of MC), it also works far better for my hair! MC was the first stuff I found that could keep my hair from frizzing and puffing out without also locking it in place like a helmet. But it still did leave a bit of a "crunch" behind and didn't react well to disturbances. Also, I was obviously growing dissatisfied with the amount I'd have to use what with the cost of a 10oz bottle. The Giovanni Direct Leave-In provides all of the same benefits with none of the problems. My curls are well-defined and behaved but still feel soft and springy. They can be played and messed with and suffer no ill-effects. It also seems like the Giovanni Leave-In is actually conditioning my hair into a better more hydrated state. I don't need to use as much and if I skip a day it's not a total disaster! The other stuff seemed more like it was just sitting there and doing an OK job, but Giovanni is behaving more like a treatment. All told, I am extremely satisfied and have found a new product for the long haul!

Excellent option for a light-weight leave-in condition. I love it because it has little scent to it. As a man, I usually struggle to find unscented hair products that work well. Better ingredients than most I've used, and does not leave my hair looking or feeling greasy/shiny. My hair feels a lot more moisturized throughout the day when using it after a shower. Washes out easily and has very little scent to it. Would recommend!

This conditioner along with the deep moisturizing conditioner have really attributed to a wonderful change in texture for my natural hair. It makes my hair smooth and very moist. It is not easy finding a product that is truly moisturizing, not oily but actually moisturizing without leaving a sticky gummy feeling behind. I see a very notable difference in my natural styles. I am getting tons of compliments. This conditioner will be a permanent part of weekly regimen. I am concerned about some of the reviews about the bad bottles of conditioner. I will keep my eye out for yellowing conditioner as well as the smell. I am new to using these products and so far am extremly happy. I will update if i begin to have problems. Right now this a must have for me! Updated - I would probably give this product 3 or 4 stars now. I now find it a bit drying on my hair and probably will not use again. Not sure why the change...

I am a mixed Native American/African American woman and I just bought this conditioner in preparation for my natural hair after removing extensions. I haven't taken the extensions out yet, but they're nearing the very end of their life, so when I recieved this shipment I thought, hey, I'll jus try them on my (human hair) extentions and see if it helps at all. Let me tell you it helped a LOT. Not only does the hair feel softer, but it's less frizzy, and it even brought back some of the natural curl that was there originally. Needless to say, I'm impressed. Will update this review after I get to try this stuff on my natural hair. UPDATE 3/26/14 Extensions have been removed me after a healthy haircut (I'm also transitioning from chemically relaxed to natural hair), I can officially say this stuff rocks. I've never had less trouble detangling my hair, and it helps my hair hold moisture lots better. I get great curl definition when combined with other curling agents. I've even put a bit of this in a spray bottle with some water to help with nighttime detangling. This is great. Get a bottle somewhere and at least try it.

I have type 3c naturally curly hair. I have used it for wash and go as my routine conditioner for a year- that i wash out. I have also used for leave in conditioner - that i dont wash out. both nice. It is light weight, not thick or heavy and doesn't weigh my hair down. IT is smooth and silky and makes it easy to detangle with my fingers. I got heat damaged now ---and still using it love it same way and now i am using it basically as a transitioning person due to the heat damage basicallty would recommned. i live in jamaica and have to ship it to someone i nUSA to take it down for me- i love it that much! too expensive down here- 2-3 times the price

Well the title says it all. I love how this has no silicones or protein: pure moisture. I have hennaed, previously bleached (recovering) short fine (but thicker w henna undoubtedly) hair. I use Jamaican black castor oil at night to help my hair grow out quicker, w some jojoba or coconut or evoo on the lengths, then shampoo out in the am w mane and tail. I use the mane n tail conditioner too. They are protein heavy and henna acts kinda like a protein so I like my leave in to be strictly moisture. And no cones!! How great is that. So I put this all over my clean damp hair root to tip then seal w some jojoba oil. I air dry, always. I swear this conditioner acts like somewhat of a styling treatment bc my hair dries so perfectly. Just how I comb it out of the shower. It adds moisture and shine and slight hold. Hair is sooo soft now! And what a fantastic deal this 3-pack is!!! I could see this conditioner being wonderful for all hair types!

This conditioner beats Kinky Curly for me. It isn't as good of a detangler (it is a very good detangler though) but it is a much better leave-in conditioner. With KC my hair would feel dry once the product had sunk in however with Giovanni my hair feels soft, light and moisturised after. Giovanni wins as an all round product although I may use KC to detangle if I have severe knots and then use this as a leave in. The product came quickly, packaged well and I will be repurchasing once I run out. 5* seller

Ich habe von Natur aus Korkenzieherlocken, die ziemlich trocken und kraus sind. Dafür habe ich schon so lange verzweifelt nach etwas gesucht, was meine Locken schön formt und glänzend macht. Dieser Conditioner hat es geschafft! Ich benutze ihn nicht nur nach dem duschen, sondern auch als Schaumfestiger ersatz zum stylen. Das Produkt ist zwar etwas teuerer als die Drogerieprodukte, aber die Flasche ist ziemlich groß und da man nur kleine Mengen brauch hält sie sich ziemlich lange. Ein weiterer Aspekt ist, dass das Produkt auch umweltfreundlich ist. Also ist der Preis das aufjeden Fall wert.

Compré este producto por las opiniones, tengo un pelo afro muy ensortijado y a mi no me va bien, no quiere decir que el producto sea malo, si no que en mi pelo no le veo resultado

Amazing for 4c hair

Ach Danke das es dieses Produkt gibt. Ich liebe es einfach es lässt meine Haare super soft und somit kann ich meine Haare besser bändigen. Ich bin Afrikanerin mit dicken Natürlichen 4C Haar und dieses Produkt ist das erste Leave-in Conditioner das 100% für meine Haare bestimmt sind und ich habe ein Haufen von Leave-in's ausprobiert. Preis ist auch sehr in Ordnung da es sehr lange hält ich brauche nie viel davon.
