The smell is awesome, first and foremost! Next, some info about me. I'm a melanated beauty with thick, dense, and curly/coily hair. Always very thirsty and I also suffer with scalp psoriasis.
After using the shampoo, I squeezed out some access water and went in with this. Initially I was a bit concerned about how much hydration I would get, but as I rubbed the bar throughout and went in to emulsify, it felt pretty great. Not a super heavy feel, but my curls were loving the hydration as I let it sit for 5-7 mins or so.
Definitely want to make sure you thoroughly rinse, but I'm really happy with how my curls looked and felt after getting out of the shower! A winner so far, look forward to using it again
