Review: It’s been a LOOONNNGGGG time since I did a product review. I randomly grabbed this at Target because I convinced myself I needed it even though I had been doing pretty well with my cocktail of conditioners and oils as deep treatments.
First off, this stuff is THICK! We’re talking thick cake frosting, custard thick, hold-it-upside-down-and-nothing-moves thick, put-your-finger-in-and-see-mark-for-days thick. Which is always good, I tend to use less product when it’s super thick which means more uses which means more bang for my buck! The smell, it’s not horrible but it’s not great either. It’s that earthy, mud smell and one reason I hate it because it TAKES FOREVER TO FADE. This doesn’t take as long to fade as I expected, but it still took some time which is a turn off.
So, does it work? For the first time, partly because I have no time anymore, I’ve been able to deep condition for 20 minutes and get the same results as an over night deep conditioning treatment. I’ve also used it on really stubborn knots that I get after I kept a wash and go in for too long. And those knots? They just melted away. It’s amazing. I’ve never had wash and go knots just VANISH the way they did with this conditioner.
So, if you’re looking for a cheap, deep conditioner that you can get on the ground. Give this a try!
Have you tried it? How did it work for you?
I love Shea Moisture DTM! It’s been my staple leave-in conditioner for a year now. It gives me super soft, well-moisturized and sheen-y hair for days. It also smells really good–I get compliments on my “perfume” while it’s in my hair.
I haven’t tried it yet but I keep reading some good reviews so I may have to give it a shot
I especially love this because you can use it as a leave-in OR a deep conditioner. I use it when I twist.
