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.

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

Product conditioned very well. I like this product.

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

I really like this product but was surprised that it was so little.

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?

I have very dry natural African American hair and I saw many Youtube reviews on this product so I said what the heck I'll give it a try. Well I washed my hair ,let it air dry 50% then I applied a small amount of the product and did a twist out on my hair. The next morning my hair was soo soft no frizz and just the best it has ever looked since I became a natural. So all your natural hair gals need to jump on the Giovanni band wagon. p.s. alittle goes a long way!!

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
