Cones, Very strong smell,
|

On my 2a/F hair this produced very interesting affects. First it felt like it "thickened" my hair, which was kind of a fun feeling to run my hands through. Which I kept doing because I just couldn't get over the cool feeling.
My waves were decreased a bit, but they were still there. Just not as well defined as usual. But considering how amazing my hair felt, I really didn't care.
As the name implies it does give you sort of a wind swept "beachy" messy look. But you can brush it out to look like you normally wear it. Or comb it with wide tooth comb and keep the "beachy" look.
The slip was ok. It did take me about 10 swipes with a wide tooth comb to get through with the occassional smaller knot mass to deal with, but if you're a person with tangly hair that can take up to an hour to detangle than this is a dream in comparison!
The smell is very very strong and stays for a long time. This is fine if you like the smell, but if you don't, it is cloying and nasty.
The moisture seemed to be the right level for my hair.
In my case, I was allergic to something in it and it was closing up my wind pipe. Otherwise this would be my new favorite conditioner. That's not to say that I would have stopped looking for a better conditioner. I would still have been searching for one that gave better slip and one that didn't decrease my wave pattern. But all in all, I would have happily used it until I found the "perfect" product.

Pros:
|
does some light conditioning
|
|
Cons:
|
foamy, sticky, weird texture
|
|
The "good"
The scent is not as over-powering as most H.E. product, its light and non-specifically floral. The conditioner provides no shine (its slightly mattifying compared to using no conditioner), minimal slip, and some moisture. Its better than your average rest-stop 2-in-1.
The "bad"
Weird foamy, sticky, white mess as a leave-in. Rinse it out then 5 minutes later its a foamy sticky weird mess again. Its almost like mouse is built into the conditioner.

Pros:
|
super thick, very conditioning (but not greasy or heavy), makes hair silky
|
|
Cons:
|
strong chemical scent overwhelms intended fragrance
|
|
This conditioner is so thick, it's like a paste. With most conditioners, I have to use a whole handful, but this is so thick, I don't really need to use that much. It makes my hair very silky and shiny. The only reason I won't buy this again is because it has a very chemically scent that overwhelms the intended floral fragrance. It is so strong that I can taste it. (By the way,I do not consider myself to be scentsitive and have had no problems with other Herbal Essences scents, strong as they may be). Luckily, the chemical smell goes away as soon as my hair dries, but the lovely wildflower smell stays
