Product Review: She Scent It Riche Moisture Mask (The Deep Conditioner Files #2)

Price: $12.50 for 9 oz.

Ingredients: Purified Water infused with Sapote extract, Rose Flower Extract, Avocado Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Sweet Almond Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium chloride, Vegetable Glycerin, Panthenol Vit B5, Hydrolyzed Silk, Germall Plus, Fragrance, Orange essential oil, Citric Acid

Promise: From the website - "This creamy conditioner nourishes hair that is dry and frizzy. A rich formula loaded with vitamins A, D, E lecithin and amino acids (from Avocados). A special blend of conditioning agents, moisturizers and oils work to soften, detangle and add shine to hair. Sapote oil nourishes the scalp, combats dryness & helps retain moisture. Leaves hair silky soft and healthy."

Scent: Like strong floral perfume

Consistency: Very thin and light. While it is white in color, it is translucent because of how thin it is.

Results: I first tried to use this as a deep conditioner under a heat cap. Unfortunately, I think that after almost a decade of use, my heat cap finally died. It stopped giving off heat during my deep conditioning session. Even without heat, this conditioner had some slip when I rinsed it out and some moisture. I was even able to detangle with it a little. Next, I tried it a second time as a deep conditioner overnight. Again, it gave my hair some moisture. Overall, if you don't mind the scent, this is an ok deep conditioner. It provides moisture and slip, though I have gotten better moisture from other deep conditioners.

Love it, Like it or Leave It: Leave it. I am sensitive to strong fragrances, and this one was too much for me.
