CURL Ecstasy - Asian Hair Tea Conditioner

[Heiricka]

Great Scott!  This conditioner is awesome!!  I took my braids down last night and shampooed with MOP.  I decided to try the Curls conditioner that I ordered which was on special for half off (shoulda bought 2).  This conditioner is the absolute best conditioner I have used in my entire life.  It made my hair wikkit soft!  I wish I had the milkshake and Quenched Curls to go with it.  I give this product 5 stars!

I this conditioner!  I stopped using it b/c I went on a pj spree, but I just got more!  This stuff makes my hair look/feel good (I used it in my current avatar).  I just wish it was a little bit cheaper b/c my thristy hair uses quite a bit. 4.5 stars

See I would give it 3 stars for deep conditioning with it full strength.

But I give it 4.5 stars  when it's diluted and I used it as a rinse or co. wash.

As a deep it was thick and it smelled nice but when I rinsed it felt a little coated but ok. The thing is though, when I get a good deep conditioner the effects last for a couple of days and my hair stays moisturized. That didn't happen with Asian Hair tea.

As a co.wash it worked fine, kind of like Elucence. Had slip, left it soft, a little buildup but nothing crazy.

I rated it 5 stars!

Great deep conditioner, hydrator, and hair detangler!

My experience was similar to TroDous'.  As a deep conditioner, 3 stars and I had to use too much of it to get the job done.  I went on to use it as in a leave-in mixture and it worked very well in that mix. 

I'm rating it as a deep conditioner because that's how it's marketed.  3 stars.

Meh....I give this 2 stars.  Nothing spectacular about this one at all.  I didnt like the smell and it didnt have enough slip.  Didnt give me the moisture I like.

I know this one gets raves, but I've sampled it twice now and still don't really get the glory.  It's quite thick (not a bad thing) but I had a tough time squeezing it out of the sample bottle and had to knock it on my palm many times to get the stuff out, then add some water.  I doesn't have enough slip, and takes a while to get into my hair.  I've used it as a conditioner, so maybe if I were to add heat it would do better. It's just tough to handle.

ETA - it also has a non-water soluble cone now as well as a water soluble one (copied from Curls website)

1 star because of the 'cone.

I still have bottles of the old version (no 'cones) so the old version - 4 Stars

Based on the ingredients list of old vs. new, the "Asian Tea" ingredients are no longer the higher proportion....

3 stars.  It's ok when used alone.  I felt like it just sat on my hair, and I agree with blaqpearl that there wasn't much slip to it.

However, it gets 3.5 stars when used in conjunction with other products (ie oils, honey).
