This is a detangling heavy hitter. It does not cause any reaction. The conditioning effect lasts until my day 3 wash day, and hair is not dry or snarled on wash day.
If I compare the feel and effect to the original here goes:
This has more slip
Less "waxy" feel
Seems to do a great job at helping to protect lengths from mechanical damage. Can not comment in heat because I usually do not use
I like this one more than original - but have not really compared benefits. I also love the lite, but this is a safer bet for allergies and reactions
The only thing is it is a wee bit heavy/smoothing for my fine wavy hair because waves are fun - and they are cast out day 2. Well, at least it looks shiny, remains pliable until wash day. Yes, I know - Use less. I am trying to experiment with this
What would be Awesome is the 10 lite have a fragrance free version! But I do really like this and thanks for thinking of us ill health freaks.
