Thick conditioner, great…

I'm Caucasian and have fine, type 3A curly hair. My biggest concern is my curls getting weighed down, and because of this, I clarify with every wash and wash 2-3 times per week. After washing and conditioning, I squeeze excess water out of my hair and gently squish in a little gel, then I let my hair air-dry. This routine gives me big, soft, corkscrew curls.
I used the Real Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Conditioner with the clarifying Shampoothie. Although the containers looked like glass online, in reality they are soft, squeezable plastic. I was concerned that this conditioner would smell like vinegar, but it definitely does not. It smells light, fresh, clean, like a much more expensive salon product. This conditioner is very thick coming out of the bottle. The first time I used it, I definitely applied too much - after that, I tried just squishing a bit into my hair, starting at the ends. A little bit goes a long way!
After rinsing and squeezing the excess water out of my hair, I scrunched in my usual gel and let it air dry. I got very soft, shiny hair, with minimal frizz! I think for a lot of curlies, this would be perfect!
I love that the first ingredients of this conditioner are aloe and coconut water. The conditioner also contains apple cider vinegar, which is known for reducing frizz. This conditioner also contains some good fatty alcohols. This conditioner would not be Curly Girl-approved, however. If you're following the CG method, you should know that this contains PPG-1 tricedeth-6, a harsh nonionic surfactant. It also contains polyquaternium-37 and -10. Ultimately, I think it's the polyquats in this that are weighing my hair down. After several uses, my hair is flat at the crown and my curls are looking more like waves. That said, if your hair is thicker than mine, this might be great for you! Like I mentioned before, I do love the softness and shine I'm getting from these products.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
