I was curious about several products, but could not find alot of reviews to compare. So I purchased a few things and used them over the last couple of months. Here are my reviews.
BTW,I have Natural,3c,medium textured hair.
Product Reviews scale: 1 = Poo , 5 = Good, 10 = Silky Soft Goodness
New Clairol Nice and Easy color #120 $2.99
purchased @ supermarket
The first thing I noticed is the smell. It is totally not offensive. I left it on according to the directions. Applied the condiioner that was included. The color is even. My hair feels very smooth and moisturized. Compared to Garnier the Nice and Easy is more mild. Compared to L'oreal Open, Nice and Easy is a little more harsh.
Con: The amount provided is very small. If your hair is very thick, longer than medium legth or both, buy two.

Pantene Pro-V Deep Fortifying Treatment
8.5 oz. $3.99
purchased @ Target w/ coupon
Pantene Pro-V Deep Moisturizing Treatment
6.8 oz. $3.84
purchased @ Target w/ coupon
Both products have the same listed Ingredients:
Water, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Dimethicone,Glutamic Acid,Benzyl Alcohol, Panthenol,Panthenyl Ethyl Ether,Fragrance,EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone
The Deep Fortifying Treatment claims to undo 3 months of damage.
My hair isn't damaged. So based on it's conditioning and moisturizing properties alone; I love it. My hair Feels like silk and completely tangle free. It has a good thick consistency.
The Deep moisturizing Treatment claims to make your hair up to 60 % silkier. I love silky, this prodict gives good slip. I had the same great results as the Deep Fortifying Treatment.
Con: Two Products with the same ingriedients. Different amounts and prices ?

Elasta QP Intense conditioner
8 oz. $3.75
purchased @ Beauty Supply Store
Ingredients:
Water, Cetyl alcohol, Quaternium-18, Hydrolyzed Silk Protein, Squalene, Cetrimonium Bromide, Stearyl Alcohol, Extracts of Chamomile, Nettle, Birch,Rosemary, Coltsfoot, Horsetail, Lemon Balm, Sage, Horse Chestnut, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Benzophenone-4, fragrance, FD&C yellow # 5
The smell is great, it's cheap and this conditioner does nothing for my hair. I always follow with a different conditioner to get the level of conditioning I want. This could be good for a conditioner wash.
it's much better imo than Suave Tropical Coconut.

Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner
8 oz. $8.00
purchased @ Whole Foods Market
INGREDIENTS: Deionized Water, Coconut Fatty Acid, Natural Grain Alcohol, Lactalbumin, Wheat Germ Oil, Organic Aloe Vera*, Glycogen, Horsetail Extract, Coltsfoot Extract, Amino Acid Complex (Cysteine and Methionine), Balsam Oil, Extracts of Fennel, Hops, Balm-mint, Mistletoe, Camomile and Yarrow, Allantoin (Comfrey Root Extract), White Camellia Oil, Sunflower Oil, Aubrey's Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E), Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil, Carrot Oil.
Awww, This product looks pearly like my beloved Jf Lazartigue micro pearl shampoo for less than half the price. The smell is sort of fruity/musky but very nice kind of like a cologne. If you liked Aviance night musk back in the day you will love this conditioner's smell.
The consistency is thick and very moisturizing. my hair does not respond well to protein conditioners. I maybe use them once or twice a year. However, This stuff is different. I could use it once a month.
It left my hair soft, silky, and not all clumped together in spiral curls but loose and curly (like a jeri curl). I love,love,love it.
P.S. I followed up with Pantene deep moisturizing conditoner.
