I tried the carrot cream and the olive oil cream, both were bad for me. I would put it on when my hair was wet, and it would feel nice, but as soon as it dried, my hair was ashy, flaky, and dry. No matter what I did, it worked out like this. I was trying to find an alternative to the ORS olive oil cream b/c it is kindy pricey, but I had to go back to it, cause this stuff was terrible. I use it on my legs when i get out of the shower just to get rid of it.
