Where to Buy:
I purchased mine from Wal Mart but it is surely available at most retailers (CVS, Target, Walgreens, etc.) You can also purchase online at amazon.com if you like to buy in bulk.

My Take:
I love this stuff. Hands down it is one of the best cheap conditioners that I like to use as a leave in. It moisturized my hair both times I have used it. Combined with a bit of oil on damp twists, my hair was smooth and lightly frangranced for days. It has a very fruity smell, very fresh. It also works nicely as a cowash conditioner if you like to skip shampoo. I was able to detangle my hair pretty quickly with my wide tooth comb and my denman bush. It is not the most slippery conditioner I have ever used, I will probably reserve major detangling sessions for my Herbal Essences. But, it still got the job done and was a great leave-in/styler for my twists. Once dry, there were no flakes or visible buildup. Overall a keeper for the rotation.
