I've been using this for about 2 months now and it is, by far, my favorite leave in product for my curly hair! I had been using the same leave in product for years as it was the only thing I could find that made my hair shiny and made my curls behave. Even after it was discontinued I could still find it online and had stocked up. I recently depleted my supply and had searched online for a suitable replacement with no luck. I saw an article about Kinky Curly Knot Today and found it at a local store so thought I would try it. I was thrilled that I actually like it better than my old favorite!! It's creamy but not super thick and has a wonderful coconut smell! My old vaorite leave in had a slimy consistency where this is mostly creamy and just a little slimy. I put a generous amount of it in my soaking wet hair at the end of my shower, then I bend over and squeeze out the excess while scrunching up my curls. It dries nice and soft and not at all crispy or crunchy. The first time I used it I actually put it on my hair while it was just a little damp and was not happy with the results. Actually thought I didn't like the product. But, once I tried putting it on soaking wet hair, I realized I LOVE it! You can also use to to detangle knots and then rinse out if you don't use a leave in product but, if you have curly hair, you really should be using a leave in product! Since I have been using Kinky Curly Knot Today, I very rarely use a regular conditioner in my hair. I hardly ever wash my hair, something else that is good for us curly heads, so this is pretty much the only product I use in my hair on a daily basis. The ingredients are: Organic mango fruit extract, organic slippery elm, organic marshmallow root, organic lemongrass, cetyl alcohol, behentrimonium methosulfate, citric acid, phenoxyethanol and natural fragrance. This product is made in the USA, which is always a bonus as my family tries to buy as many products as we can that are made in the USA. And it is cruelty free, meaning no animal testing was done on this product. It's funny, I had been looking for a leave in product that has slippery and/or marshmallow root and didn't realize until looking at the ingredients just now that this contains both! If you have curly or wavy hair and are looking for something to get your knots out or a leave in to make your hair shiny and soft, you really should give this a try!
