I was admonished by the wise BlackCardinal to do my duty as an LHCF member and give a thorough review of this product since no one else had...
So this summer, I wore my hair curly every day until a got a relaxer recently. The easiest way to handle this was the wash and go. However, I discovered that while my hair was stronger and more moisturized than ever, my scalp (particularly my nape area) was a little perturbed. The washing made it itchy. This weekend I did a marathon conditioning session. Nothing but time to pamper my hair. But that left me horrendously itchy, and the itch was spreading. Now, I noticed that this Tea Tree Conditioning Treatment I got from Proclaim soothed my scalp. So when I saw this Paul Mitchell conditioner, I figured it couldn't hurt to see if it helped.
WELL. When I first put it on, the tingling wasn't evident. But in about 30 seconds my scalp felt so amazing. Cool, tingling, refreshing, all of that. I was going to just leave it in for the course of the shower, but I decided the spa treatment should continue. So I left it on with a shower cap for about a half hour. The wonderful sensation didn't go away. I rinsed it out because I didn't want to undo the help to my scalp by over wetting it again. I sprayed in this Proclaim Tea Tree Leave-In (Diff. than the Conditioning Treatment). All through dinner, my scalp still felt all pepperminty. It was awesome!
But what did it do to my HAIR you ask? My hair was/is soo soft. It had a very nice slip so detangling was almost unnecessary. As my hair air dried, it didn't start to harden up or anything. My curls were downy soft (my hair's rather texlaxed). I put it in two buns and took them down this morning and the softness is still there. I wonder what this'd be like with heat... hmm...
This is a definite keeper for the arsenal. My scalp is still soothed and my hair feels great. What more can a girl ask for?

both the shampoo and conditioner. These two together (or alone) will definitely leave your scalp tingling...
Self-control reigned for the moment. But when I get back to school and have used up what I've got, I'm going to give the Sally's version a spin. If it works the same, that'll save a looot of money.
