I have used this product once and I am so willing to sing its praises and I know that it will be a staple in my regimen. I had a major issue with detangling after I took down my last protective style and I ended up with matted hair, a natural friend of mine recommended this product for me to try since she loved it so much.

How to use: Apply a generous amount throughout hair, concentrating on areas that are more prone to tangles and knots. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb. Do not pull tangles. Apply more to difficult areas and gently comb in small sections, starting from the bottom of strands, moving upward, until comb glides through hair from roots to ends.
How I used it: After I undid each braid, I applied the product on my hair, concentrating on the base on the hair where all the shed hairs were – I left the product on for the time it took to undo the next braid and went back to detangle the first braid. I finger detangled at first and then went in with a comb.
Likes: This product definitely helped a lot with detangling my hair, it softened the knots and made it easier to loosen the shed hair. It also has a lovely fruity smell.
Dislikes: I would love it it the product had an applicator tip cap – it would make it easy to for my particular use.
Pricing: I paid R36 for a 177ml bottle
