Sorry, I forgot to respond.
Warning: Super long review below
Background: I have somewhat severe scalp issues that has limited my hair from reaching its potential and I think also changed the structure of my hair strands for some parts of my head. I typically cannot use most products as they leave a buildup/ or just plain iriritate my scalp. All this to say I always end it cutting all my hair every couple of years after severe flare ups. This go round I have been so uninterested in spending money or time to care for it.
Now on to the review
Texture - it is thick like honey and it feels exactly like smooth thick honey, not the grainy ones. It emulsifies on contact with water/hair, and melts in - instead of just sitting on my hair/pulling out my hair in the damaged areas (thin brittle strands/low density areas like some condition) ( 5 stars)
Smell: Heavenly, she uses great ingredients cos I also do not have a headache from the fragrance. This feels like I am at a luxurious spa (5 stars)
Application: best applied on wet hair, it glides on/ melts in ( 5 stars)
Performance: well conditioned hair (3.5 -4 stars)
Scalp effect - my scalp had no buildup, for the first time I could apply to my roots and my scalp did not dry out or flare up for days after (5 stars)
So overall grade is 4.5 stars
I believe there are some conditioners that might perform better, though none that would give me the other things I need for my scalp, putting them out of the running for me. The best conditioner I have ever used was the Nexxus humctress in the grey cap( old formula).
My background on my scalp explains why I am stocking up on her products ( I recently made a large order and I used the Vanilla Whiskey last wash day and it was a winner as well). It has awoken my desire to care for my hair again, the moment I opened my jar of Y.A.M, I wanted to do a whole day of self care ( scrub/treat my skin, masque my face, mani/pedi/ exercise, eat clean
) this is a huge deal for me, as I have neglected myself in the last 2 years.
I will say give it a try but be warned it is small and I saw a post of yours where you mentioned you have super long hair, so depending on how heavy handed you are, this will be about 3 - 4 applications
