In not-so-perfect harmony

A year ago I won a contest where the prize was a deep conditioning treatment from the brand Curl Harmony. At the time I had just big chopped about a week before I won and I had just started my “Product Junkie” phase. Needless to say I bought so many other products to try I forgot that I even owned this deep conditioner. I tried it maybe twice around the time I received it, but not enough to determine whether it was worth it’s wild. So last night I decided to give it a try.

Curl Harmony Intensive Repair Deep Conditioner:

Curl Harmony Intense Repair is a luxurious deep treatment that strengthens and moisturizes. Essential for curls damaged by heat styling and/or relaxers. Enriched with healing Shea Butter, Coconut Butter and smoothing Jojoba oil. Perfect for reviving damaged, dull or dry hair. For all hair types

Ingredients: Aqua , Behentrimonium MethosulphateCetearyl Alcohol,ﾠCocos Nucifera (Coconut Butter), Butyrospermum parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Hydrolysed Corn and Wheat protein, Cetyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Glycerine, DL-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Parfum, Silk Amino Acid Powder, Lactic Acid

The consistency is what my hair loves. Because my hair is so thick, it needs a very thick conditioner to coat the strands. Not to mention a little goes a long way. The ingredients aren’t that bad either. A lot of good stuff like jojoba oil, shea butter and coconut butter are inside. Because it claims to help with damaged hair I thought it would be a good idea to try because my hair has been feeling very dry and almost brittle lately (signs that I need a trim and a good protein treatment in the near future).

I used it on some chunky twist and put on a plastic shower cap. The directions say to leave it on for 20 to 30 min but I chose to leave it on overnight.

In the morning I rinsed the conditioner out of my hair and my hair felt…well….real regular. I’ve made deep conditioners myself that gave my hair much more softness and moisture. When I rinsed this DC out It felt exactly like it would if I had just rinsed out a shampoo. Not like I just rinsed out a conditioner.

Maybe next time I’ll incorporate honey, aloe vera juice and some oils to enhance it, but as of right now I won’t be picking this item up, personally. Which isn’t a big deal since the company is based in England and currency conversion and shipping would bring the price of this product WAY over my budget.

What deep conditioners have you tried and loved....or not loved very much?
