Giovanni Direct Leave-In Treatment Conditioner, 2 Fluid Ounce

This does not weigh down my hair, relaxing the curls. Also, it does not make my hair greasy looking, though I apply a huge amount. (I buy the full sized container at Target when there is a deal or through Swanson Vitamins at just $5.99 for 8.5 oz.) I accidentally discovered that this conditioner makes a better styling product for curly hair than anything else I can find, including toxic products. I do not use any other conditioner or styling gel, though I will reapply in windy conditions to tame frizziness. (As I age, my hair has more natural frizz. I'm 55.) Hair products get on pillow cases. We breathe them all day, then smoosh them into our pillow cases at night. I used to have sinus problems caused by styling products, but have used this for years with no problems at all. It's rating on EWG's (Environmental Working Group's) site is just a 2, so I don't have to worry about it affecting my hormones either. My hair is thick & curly, so I pin parts of it up & apply this conditioner heavily to one section at a time. Placed on a child's hair after washing, it eliminates tangles, conditions, & serves as a setting gel. Great time saver for curly headed people.

I have 3c/4a hair and this leave in make my hair soft when wet, then it makes it dry. I seal with evoo. I'm on a no silicone regimen right now. I noticed that my hair was more moisturized when I used silicone conditioners.

Not a fan of this product. Left my hair feeling dry and brittle.

Light non-greasy formula leaves my hair shiny and tangle free. No static

I've been using it for a while now and I really like it. It leaves my hair nice and curled instead of frizzy. Just make sure you apply it while your hair is still damp

Maybe there was just something wrong with the bottle I received? Someone who has been using this can probably confirm or deny this, but I got a 2oz bottle to try this direct leave in conditioner. I love Giovanni products. I usually use the smooth as silk conditioner (that has a slightly sweet-candy-like smell that fades quickly as your hair dries) but I put that on and leave it on for about 10 minutes before rinsing. I got this leave-in thinking it would be better for traveling (not taking up as much bathroom time when the bathroom has to be shared with multiple people) just a simple apply after shampoo and leave it, but as soon as I opened it there was a VERY strong car-engine smell like a hot engine running and inhaling the oil or gasoline type fumes. I thought perhaps it was the bottle--maybe heated up in travel to hot Florida, but when I applied it to my hair the smell was worse. I don't even know if it's good for my hair or not because I had to re-shampoo and condition with my regular conditioner to get the smell out. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Product conditioned very well. I like this product.

Makes hair kind of stringy, I didn't see a difference in moisture really... If i put it on right after a shower it was more soft than if I had waited 10 minutes...
