Hi!
Please give me a review of the shea restorative condish. I loved the shampoo but I hated the deep treatment masque!

Well my hair loves protein, and this condition is more of a protein conditioner. It makes my hair strong and not overly moisturized. For me it's like the perfect balance. I also use it as my Leave in. I does not have the "slip" that alot of people look for in conditioners but that's ok with me. The smell is ehh. Nothing special. But I like that it's an all natural product and I can tag team it as my leave in.
The deep treatment mask did nothing for me at all but it wasn't bad
I actually like all of their products.

What do you hope to achieve by cowashing? Lush thick healthy ends, more moisturized hair, and more manageability

How often (if ever) will you use shampoo? Good question lol...I recently read a post where a girl used just conditioner that worked for here with no build up. By anywho I thought about it decided to stick with my regular reggie of shampoo when needed and usually that's a sulfate free shampoo that's ultra moisturizing.

After prepooing I cowashed with Shea butter restorative conditioner. It did absolutely nothing for my hair. My hair was softer after rinsing out my prepoo and after rinsing out this stuff it was bleh not soft but not totally stripped. I'm taking this back tomorrow.
