I use the Elucence conditioner as a leave in mostly and I love it. I use it as a deep conditioner as well but I really don't see the point of deep conditoning with it, rinse, then add more for a leave in lol. Now that I think about it, deep conditioning may not be necessary since I use it as a leave in already and it is in fact a conditioner. How much deeper can it get than that??...I don't know, just rambling....Ummmm the shampoo worked good on my relaxed hair but dries out my natural hair.
