Design Essentials Almond Butter Express Instant Conditioner, 11 oz | Moisturizing Lightweight Sulfate-Free Hydration for Dry, Curly & Damaged Hair | Softens, Adds Shine & Detangles

It moisturized my hair better than I expected it would. I was able to silk press my hair the way that I needed to using this product. I used a generous amount and used it as a deep conditioner and deep conditioning method I can’t really say if it makes hair shine because I also used one of my other products for frizz which gives my hair a shine. I love the way it smells. I like the consistency, it’s not really thick like my deep conditioner and I love the way it bonds to my hair. I actually like this conditioner better than my conditioner and deep conditioner. My hair is naturally curly and no matter what good quality conditioning products I’ve used so far, each one always define my curls and this one was no different so I guess depending on your hair type and hair regimen it will define your curls. Needless to say I am very satisfied with my purchase. However I will say do your own research and/or purchase a smaller amount if you’re just learning to care for your hair or to try out on your hair. I purchased the 2lb jar because I trust my initial introduction to this product as well as my own research.

Design Essential is a wonderful product. Lightweight on my hair. Softens it wonderfully. No scalp irritation. Smells nice not over whelming.

UPDATE, I bought the 32 oz one as well . I saw many people say the jar was half full.. I had a theory that the jar is bigger but there is 32 oz in each one, making the illusion it is half full. I weighed it out... 35.5 oz with the top off, 36.5 with the top on. Sooooo there IS 32oz in the big jar. The top sucks though, might need to transfer this to another container. Original review: i say this as a faithful TGIN user, thinking nothing could sway me, i love this design line. i appreciate the quality, the value, and the pricing. my hair is very fine and sensitive to breakage, and this exceeded expectations. i actually mixed it with castor oil to slather on my hair before swimming so water couldnt damage it (i used two swim caps, no chlorinated water got in!!) and when i rinsed it out of my hair and gave it a wash my hair was soooooo soft and clean and curly. i recently used it to smooth my frizzies into small bantu buns and it does it for me. i have 3c hair and whew. yes. my hair loves this. the reviews were lifesavers in helping me choose, so i have to pay it forward. note i live in a place with disgustingly hard water, even filters dont work - so i ise gallons of spring water to wash my hair with and it made a hugeee dofference in the way all products interact with my hair, plus the breakage stopped happening. i clipped my ends weeks ago and they still look super clean. i have been keeping my hair in bantu knots because the air is dry where i live, making my ends look SO bad very quickly, and this conditioner seems to be the stuff of dreams. i ordered a much bigger size so i can use what i need for swim life and everyday life. just sharing for anyone who might also need that context!

Makes my hair softer and smooth

Great product but dropping 1 star due to the packaging. Product was placed in a small box with no padding. Box was rough around the edges and the only thing preventing this product spilling all over was the plastic seal around the lid. The lid was starting to come off with the cream already leaking out and if this package got tossed 1 more time, it would have been over. Again, the product is great, helps soften and moisturize my kids curls and will buy again, just need to improve the packing.

My hair drinks this stuff up! Holy grail deep conditioner that never fails me. I'm a recovering all-natural/ no-poo natural since 2014 and Lord knows dryness is my biggest hair fear. However, for my mental and physical health I am extremely active, so I've recently been using the Kinky Curly shampoo to clarify and RevAir oil shampoo once or twice a month b/c the sweat, buildup, and itchiness on my scalp is a no for me. This conditioner never lets me down on wash day. I have high porosity, fine, 3b-4a curls and coils. I also have eczema and a sensitive skin but this never breaks me out. It does have mineral oil in it though, sooo... SHAMPOO is your friend; it can be scary in these natural hair streets but I know buildup is real. Having said that, this smooths my cuticles and keeps my hair from drying out. The ingredients are solid and it has great slip. This, plus a ***gentle*** hand, definitely gives the detangling factor my strands need.

This conditioner is a powerhouse in a jar. A little goes a seriously long way. I'm talking about dime-sized dollops transforming my sad, straw-like strands into hydrated, softness. Did I mention this stuff smells divine? Bonus points: - Super quick and easy to use. Apply, leave in for a few minutes, rinse, and BAM! Instant hair nirvana. - Gentle enough for even the most sensitive scalps. No irritation here, just pure hair-loving goodness. - Affordable AF. You don't need to break the bank to get amazing results. This conditioner is a permanent resident in my shower, and I'm recommending it to everyone with a pulse (and hair, obviously). P.S. Seriously, the smell is unreal. I might need to start using this as a body lotion too. Don't judge.

Everything I've ever wanted in a conditioner. I love deep moisturization, and most importantly slip. I have relaxed hair, and its thirsty, so this conditioner fits the bill. It doesn't weigh my hair down, but gives good wet and dry comb-ability. After blow drying, my hair feels luscious, and the same as when I go to the salon. 10/10, highly recommend.

This product made my Afro hair feel really dry. For the price paid, I expected it to add moisture, not take it away. I gave it a few tries, but no. It’s not for me, so as costly as it was, I put it in the bin. Maybe relaxed hair would have different results. Maybe.

I've used DE- Conditioner for years and it does what it says on the bottle.

Très bon produit pour les cheveux afro. Je le conseille fortement.

Gorgeous product smells really nice
