It comes in a 5 lb tub for $6 where I live. I put some in a Gladware container and I can see that it has some kind of oil in it. But it rinses clean. No icky, slick feel.

It just leaves my hair soft, detangled and smelling good.

Surge--I've used it 1x per day for approx. 2 weeks. My hair isn't longer, but it sure is soft!

I really like this as a leave-in spray.

Carolyn Gray's HHIB Moisturizing & Detangling Mist--I've tried to make my own distilled water/glycerin/eo spray and it always came out too watery, too herb-y smelling or too sticky. This one is perfect! I just wish it came in a bigger bottle.

Miss:
Perfect Results Cherry Hair & Body Oil. Too heavy and greasy for my hair. I like it on my body, though. When I bought it, the fresh boy who works in the bss told me he uses it for Kama Sutra on his girlfriend!

Re: December Hits and Misses

HITS

-Cream of Nature (ultra moisturizing kind with the green label). I tried it on a whim on Xmas day when I was prepping the ringlets down style for my mom's dinner party. It moisturizes and softens SO WELL, and I had fewer tangles.

-Detangling with my fingers and not shower combing at all (goodbye Jilbere shower comb!)

-PCJ lye relaxer (but I underprocessed, so I'll adjust the technique next try)
 
Re: December Hits and Misses

Hits: Surge Revitalizer Plus 14, Aubrey GPB, Aubrey J.A.Y Shampoo, Aubrey Jojoba/Aloe Conditioner and Giovanni Direct Leave-In.

Misses: Refined Coconut Oil (when I used it as a hot oil treatment my hair felt hard).
