Product Review- Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Conditioner

Many curlies I know loooooove them some Herbal Essences. It's cheap, available, and heavily ladden with silicone goodness (great for detangling the super tight curl textures). It's usually a toss-up between Hello Hydration (HEHH) and the one I will be reviewing today- Totally Twisted (HETT).  Sometimes I'll see a Long Term Relation (LTR) thrown in there, but normally...it's one of the first two in the tightly curly community.

I've tried the HEHH before, but I don't remember a lot about it in comparison with other conditioners.  What makes the HETT stand out for me, is the smell!  It smells sooo good.  It is a strong scent described on the bottle as wild cherry and orchid.  Yum! I like it to linger.  Certain conditioners and butters that I have used have had men (total strangers) secretly all up in my hair bun sniffing it.  It's flattering really.  Who doesn't like to smell nice?

Performance...for me...is ok.  I would repurchase if the mood strikes.  If on vacay and I don't want to pack conditioner for security purposes, I would feel comfortable grabbing this from the local pharmacy.  You see the balance?  I can live with it or I can live without it.  It is good for detangling.  It just doesn't give the lingering moisturizing benefits.

I have used it as a leave-in.  It mixes well with other things.  It has a nice, violet hue so it doesn't dry white!  I have been doing the LOC moisture method that I found on Chicoro's website (see right side bar for link)...so I have been experimenting with several conditioners to be my liquid, water-based leave-in.  This is good.  I had two bottles to use up that I got on sale months ago.

The bottles are skinny and because it smells so good, just throw it in your gym bag, co-wash after that workout, and get to brunch smelling like a million bucks.  Gives light-medium moisture, useable as a leave-in, decent conditioning and detangling properties.  It's a solid product.

Have a happy love-filled day beautifuls.
