Somehow, this conditioner (and really the accompanying shampoo also) is great at smoothing out split ends and detangling. I usually do have to use a leave-in conditioner after my shower to help with frizz, and I realize that this stuff is just temporarily making my damaged hair look better, but it works for me. My hair is a tall order because it is tangly, frizzy and somewhat curly so needs a heavy-duty conditioner but is also extremely fine and thin so can be weighed down easily by heavy products. Somehow this product works. I would truly recommend this and the shampoo, as well as the leave-in dry oil for touch ups. Especially since I've tried more expensive products and haven't really seen better or even as-good-as results.
