GVP Detangler: Who Uses It?

[Miss Monae]

I have the Paul Mitchell detangler , the first time I used it I wasn't impressed. It doesn't seem to work if you have major tangle and knot issues like I had.
I used it again today as a rinse out conditioner on my 9 week post hair after I shampooed. It was good, I was able to comb through it, and it was pretty tangled and unmanageable I lost hair, but not a whole bunch. I also hardly comb from wash to wash so I'm hoping it was mostly shed.
Anyway I rinsed my hair got out of the shower then applied my DC.
I don't know if I will repurchase Paul Mitchell when my detangler is up. It hasn't impressed me to the point of hairgasm but I'll give it a couple of more chances.
Maybe I'll give the GVP a spin after. Anybody use both and know how they compare?

I haven't used the Paul Mitchell brand yet. I will give it a go for comparison.

I'm so glad this thread was bumped up! So I'm trying the co-washing thing this summer & my hair was matted after not touching it for several days. Do I co washed,dc'd & applied the detangler I found that when I left it for 2 mins my comb didn't give me as much resistance than me messing with my hair after slapping it on. I didn't give it the time of day b4 but now..I'll keep it stocked!

Another good thing about Paul Mitchell the Detangler, and I'm assuming the GVP version is that it's pH balanced like Roux Porosity control, I heard the pH is 4.5 so that's another plus.
here is a thread I started on the detangler back in the day, like most of my threads this one died pretty quickly
LOL

I tried the Paul Mitchell brand this week and I like the results on both the same. I have been using it solely as a in-shower detangler especially since I have 5months+ of newgrowth. It has definitely been a savior, to say the least.

I will use up the rest of the Paul Mitchell Detangler I have then go back to my trusty GVP brand.

I'm glad to see this thread. I just started using this product and I love it. I do have natural hair so I don't know if that makes a difference. However, I co-wash with a diffferent conditioner then I use this to detangle. Takes maybe 5 minutes at the most. Then I rinse-out. After I rinse-out I add a little more, brush it through with my denman and then get under the shower for a second or two for even distribution. I haven't had a problem leaving it in. But, then again I also leave-in Aussie Moist too!

it is not a normal conditioner, it is a detangler only and no I would not suggest you use it as a leave-in either. It worked well on my 6 months of new growth when I couldn't seem to comb it using any other conditioner. When I add it to my hair, I simply grab my detangling shower comb and start detangling while wet, and it detangles like a breeze. AFter detangling, I wash it out as stated on the bottle.

Yea! I tried again, after conditioning and it was a no-go.

This is exactly the way I used it. It sort of leaves a coating on your hair if you are using it as your primary conditioner. I get best results when I wet hair, shampoo (if necessary), then detangle by slapping this on my hair making sure it is saturated. Comb through in small sections then rinse. I use this time to either do a ACV rinse or I use PC. After which, I condition again (Not using the Detangler) and then rinse and I am done.

Gotcha. If I try again, I will keep this in mind.

I've started using this as a leave-in instead and my hair loves it better as a leave-in. Not sure if it makes a difference since I am natural. But, I switch between this and Kinky-Curly Knot Today.

Just as an fyi, I live in Texas and I saw the Paul Mitchell Brand on sale yesterday 2 bottles (10oz) for $9.99. Sally's is still cheaper, but for those that want to try the name brand without paying the full price.
