Silk Protein Conditioner for Damaged Hair - Ultra Moisturizing Conditioner for Dry Hair with Deeply Nourishing Shea Butter Argan Oil Green Tea & Aloe - Helps Define Curls & Control Frizz (16 Fl Oz)

I've been using this conditioner for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it! I have wavy-curly hair (in terms of length, it's about 3-inches below shoulder-length right now, when dried and curly) and I'm long overdue for a haircut (it's probably been about 6 or 7 months since I got one). And I know, I know...I should get my hair trimmed more regularly, but it's such a pain finding a reasonably-priced stylist, who also knows how to deal with curly hair, that I tend to judge when I need to bite the bullet and get a cut, by when my ends become completely unmanageable and unstylable. I mention all this, because about a month or two after I got my most "recent" haircut, I realized that I was already having problems keeping my hair styled not at my ends, but at my roots! Which definitely were NOT dried or damaged. At this point, I had been using Tresemme's curly hair conditioner for years, but decided it was time to test out new hair products, to see if that could help with this issue. I stumbled on Maple Holistics while doing some online Christmas shopping last year, and decided that it was worth a shot to splurge on a more natural product, even if it wasn't specifically a curly-hair product. Flash forward 4 months to today, and I am SO glad that I decided to test out this conditioner. Even though I DEFINITELY need to get a cut soon, I'm having no problem styling my curls, which still appear relatively undamaged. Best of all, my hair just looks and feels incredible now! This conditioner has made my hair unbelievably soft, and now I even find that after I shower, my hair has that hair commercial-like shininess to it (which I honestly thought only straight-haired women got). Overall, my hair now looks better, my scalp feels healthier (I've started having less trouble with dandruff, which tends to be an issue for me in the Spring and the Fall), AND my curls are much easier to style. In fact, I've found that since I started using this conditioner, my curls keep their shape for much longer, so now I'm able to avoid drying-out my scalp (and my curls) with too many washes in a week. Plus, I've also started getting tons of compliments from friends about how good my hair looks, since I started using this product. I'd say, that only downside about this conditioner is that the bottle is a little bit small. I have to pretty carefully ration-out my conditioner-use when I'm in the shower, but on the plus side, this stuff is so creamy and nourishing, that I don't have to use as much on my roots as I used to, when I was using other conditioners. Also, another slight note: if you don't like sweet-smelling products, it will take a few uses to get used to this product's smell. I'm really NOT into super "feminine" odors (for instance, floral, fruity, or cookie-based scents in perfumes or body products...they either make me want to gag or track down a bakery, because why on earth would you want to smell like a cookie or cinnamon roll, unless you have constant access to those desserts???) and this conditioner DOES smell like vanilla. Normally, I would hate this in a body/hair product, and it was a bit overly sweet-smelling for me the first few times I used it, but I've also gotten used to the aroma and I don't mind it anymore. In fact, the vanilla scent is only a bit strong while your using the conditioner in the shower, but afterwards, the scent becomes very subtle and I don't smell it at all, once I put in my other hair products. All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend this conditioner to anyone with wavy-curly hair, or just more generally, to anyone with dry hair. It will definitely help to condition your scalp and, if you are a sometimes-dandruff sufferer, like I am, the combination of this conditioner with the occasional use of any tea-tree oil shampoo, should really help to get rid of any dry scalp problems.

This is a great product. I have long, VERY thick (I clog the shower drain every time I shower because I shed so frequently), coarse hair normally. It's unruly, it frizzes easily, and it's a huge hassle if I don't do something with it and let it dry au naturale. Allow me to walk you through why I believe you should give this product a chance: First there is the smell. It has a vanilla scent with a slight almond undertone. It's very fragrant and will dull out post-shower. The smell is not nauseating to me, and it's hands down a better (and cheaper) product than Wen. (Sorry Wen!) Second, there is the quality. I don't leave it in that very long (about 2 minutes while I shave) and after my hair is very soft. With Wen I had to use it twice and leave it in for an indeterminable amount of time. Third, there is it's magical ability to be used as a leave-in conditioner (I do NOT recommend that ladies or gents with thin hair use this as a leave-in because it may be too heavy for your hair.) I use it as a leave-in and no frizz (I took a hint from Wen) even when it's moist out. (Didn't use it as a leave-in one time and it was a huge mistake!) Fourth, it does help my hair feel different--in a good way! A few hints that may help (science or superstition, I don't know but I think it helps.) * Leave it in while you shave or do other things to give your hair a chance to absorb. * Rinse in cold water (my hair becomes extra shiny when I rinse in cold water!) and, for my thick-haired ladies, add a small amount to your palm and try to spread evenly. (I find that the Wet Paddle Brush helps to spread evenly without pulling, stretching, and breaking wet hair.) * Post shower, do NOT towel dry your hair. It causes breakage and it's not good for your hair. Instead, I recommend the MICROFIBER turbie twist. I love it because it keeps my hair in place, it isn't bulky, it helps the hair absorb moisture while drying, and allows me to focus on the first thing that I work on in the mornings post shower....my facial regimen. Feel free to ask some questions! I'll be happy to help! :-) Please feel free to ask some questions and I'll be happy to reply. *I did not receive free product to try before I purchased this product. That being said, if you post a review after you purchase you can follow the instructions on the card to receive free product. I did notice that there's a difference in coloration in the bottles from the free and purchased product but when I tried the product I got for free I didn't notice any noticeable differences in my hair. I will post pictures of the free product vs. purchased product in a day or so. I will also experiment by using my clarifying shampoo paired with both the free and purchased product and show differences between this and the conditioner by Garnier - Brazilian Smooth and style as normal. I hope that this helps those purchasing! Pictures to come in the next week!*

At first I was skeptical, simply because I have made many shopping mistakes online, and ended up with a product that didn't work as well as it said it did, thus with less money, and thus with a feeling of disappointment. Also i was unsure about buying this because some natural products (such as natural bug spray) don't work as well as they claim. After reading about this product and all the greatness it has to offer (natural ingredients that i can pronounce, no animal testing, and all the great reviews, etc.), I was intrigued, and i realized that this product might really be worth it. I have an all natural conditioner that is paraben free, sulfate free, with no dyes or artificial fragrances or dyes, AND no animal testing!! Plus the bottle is made of recycled materials, all of which are big to me. Unfortunately, the conditioner didn't work as well as I thought it would. So I went back to using store bought, chemical filled conditioner. After receiving graduation money as a gift, I decided to invest in some good conditioner, and I am so glad I chose Silk 18! Unlike my other natural conditioner, after one use of this product I noticed dramatic differences in the texture and appearance of my hair. Not only did it feel amazingly soft, it also made it really really shiny. My sister has bleached platinum blonde hair, so I let her use it and she said it made her hair soft and reduced the appearance & feel of damage! I absolutely LOVE this product, and will definitely consider purchasing another bottle when this one is gone. I also love the smell of it, it doesn't smell fake, it smells like vanilla and natural ingredients. And IT WORKS. It is NATURAL, NO ANIMAL TESTING, and it WORKS AMAZINGLY! And not to mention it is affordable. It is the best conditioner I have ever used. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

After dying & bleaching my hair multiple times, I was doubtful that there was a conditioner out there that'd give me silky smooth hair. My hair was a major pain to deal with since it was so damaged (My hair has literally been every color in the rainbow so you can imagine how damaged it must be), and the only time it'd look pretty good was right after a visit to the hair salon. However after an hour of researching for the perfect conditioner for my hair, I finally decided to go with Maple Holistics since their reviews were just hard to beat. At first I was a bit disappointed since the bottle is pretty small and I'm not the type of person who'd usually pay $13 for a bottle of conditioner. Heck the most I'd ever pay was $6 for the Herbal Essences 22oz conditioner, which is twice as much product. I also noticed that it didn't really seem to have a strong scent, which was a bit disappointing after using Herbal Essences for so long. It has a light coconut scent to it and I'm not the biggest fan of coconut, which is why I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars. Now when it comes to the quality of the product, I have absolutely no disappointments there. I couldn't really tell how much of a difference the conditioner made to my hair while it was still wet since most conditioners leave that smooth feel after application. However, I was completely blown away with the results as I was styling my hair. I could actually run my fingers through my hair with ease and I honestly couldn't stop touching my hair since it has never felt so smooth before. It was definitely comparable to how my hair felt after a salon visit and that's essentially what every girl wants their hair to feel like after each shower. Now my hair tends to get super frizzy since I also flat iron it everyday (Yes, I know... I torture my hair). But the conditioner actually helped a lot with the frizz as well! I haven't washed my hair in two days and it's still silky smooth with absolutely no frizz. Quite unbelievable I must say. Best part about it all is that my boyfriend can't stop playing with my hair. He actually likes the coconut smell, which is a huge relief, and he can't seem to stop taking in whiffs of the scent. I guess I shouldn't mention to him that I didn't wash my hair in two days =P My brother even said his hair felt ridiculously smooth after using some of my conditioner. I have to admit I got a little territorial at first since I now have to share my small bottle with someone else...but I'm actually glad he's now a fan :) He normally never uses conditioner so it'd be funny to see him use it religiously after trying out this product. All in all, I'm super pleased with this product and with the company's customer service (they check up on you with an email after you receive the product and are super responsive to any questions or inquiries you may have). I'll definitely be ordering again soon =)

This conditioner I bought based on the reviews and the fact that I already own the Maple Holistics Argan Oil Sulfate-Free Shampoo (this conditioner was recommended to use with this shampoo). I have to say, I actually really like this conditioner a lot! It has a nice balance between being thick enough where your hair really does feel silky (in the shower) while not being too hard or too heavy to wash out of my hair (which is a problem for me especially given my hair is prone to getting oily). I feel like it helps my color and heat-damaged hair, and also helps make it easy to detangle once I get out of the shower. One thing to note is the size shown in the picture- it makes it look like you are getting a much larger product, so the 8oz bottle I received did look a lot smaller than expected (however the item description does state 8oz, the picture is just a little misleading). It has a pleasant, slightly sweet vanilla smell to it, but it doesn’t leave a scent in your hair (at least for me, and this may be a positive or negative depending if you are sensitive to smells or prefer your hair to smell “pretty”). It’s easy to get the product out of the bottle and it goes nicely. Even though the bottle may seem small when you look at it, it really does last a long time because you don’t need to use that much in your hair. I’ve had it for about a month or two and it barely looks like I’ve used it! I have to be careful what ingredients are in my shampoo/conditioner because my hair is Keratin-treated and also colored, so I have to stay away from certain chemicals/ingredients that are commonly found in other shampoos/conditioners- and I’m happy to say that this one fits the bill for me. I’m also pretty familiar with ingredients/chemicals as I’ve been reading labels for years, so I can honestly say that this conditioner has no harsh chemicals or synthetic dyes, and specifically for me no sulfates or sodium chloride which strip the keratin from hair. On the bottle it says it’s hypoallergenic, BPA free, non-toxic and non-sensitizing (I can’t comment on the authenticity of these claims, but thought I’d share what is written on the actual bottle). However, I’d be pretty inclined to believe it given its performance and the list of ingredients (mainly amino acids and argan and jojoba oil- these work to strengthen hair as amino acids make up proteins, and the oils help with moisture and detangling- aka the “silk” that’s in its name). Also, the price is actually very reasonable and pretty comparable to many drugstore conditioners, but the quality is much higher- this is why I gave the product 5 stars- it’s an excellent value for the price and quality. I’m including a few pics for reference of size and ingredients. *I also was NOT compensated or given any incentive to write this review, as I saw a ton of others were, when I was researching this product. This is strictly from someone who relies on and values honest product reviews from others, especially when buying on Amazon. Hopefully someone finds this review helpful!

New Review-- I've had to knock a couple of stars off my old, glowing review. The scent has changed. They've added some floral, perfumey scent that is not at all pleasant compared to the old scent. The vanilla still is there, but the perfume tends to overwhelm I do not have an allergy problem with the new scent. I just do not at all like it. Fortunately, it does not linger (just as before), so I can finish the bottle I have, but I will not purchase this again (and I'm returning the spare bottle I recently bought). It still does a good job as a conditioner, but there are other conditioners that do a good job but that also have a desireable scent. ------------------- I use this daily, and I love it. I have thick, stiff, wavy hair that's prone to frizzing when shorter and just generally misbehaving when longer. This conditioner cuts down on both problems without nasty buildup or other fuss. It rinses out cleanly but the effect remains. The scent mostly is vanilla and quite pleasant--no perfume or other heavy, strong, offensive scents. As best as I can tell, the scent does not linger significantly, which is very nice. I am allergic to orris root, something found in many fragrances, but I have no problem with this product. A little goes a long way, especially if you can leave it in for a minute or more, but even a short rest has beneficial effect. If you can, shampoo first and leave this in while you clean the rest of yourself. A bottle seems to last quite some time. My last bottle lasted about 7 months with regular use. Of course, my hair is only medium, men's length. Longer hair will use more and go through it more quickly. It's also great for beards. Update 1/3/2019 -- I've been using this almost daily for about a year and a half. While I've received the offer for free product, I've not actually accepted it. I probably will take the offer because no review was required in order to receive anything. That hardly matters, though. I wouldn't use anything that wasn't good, free or not.

After trying many different organic and supposedly "natural" shampoos and conditioners over the years, I recently discovered this product, Silk 18 by Maple Holistics. It met all of my initial criteria: natural, non-toxic ingredients, sulfate free, reasonably priced, and highly rated. As a frequent Amazon shopper, I always read product reviews, and I have to admit I was impressed with all of the positive experiences shared by other customers. As for how it works for me, it might be helpful to know that I am a caucasian woman with medium length, wavy/curly thick-but-fine hair that is extremely frizz prone. I have always been particular about the conditioner I use because it can mean the difference between having a tangled, knotted mess or having hair I can comb through relatively easily. Having the benefits of a conditioner extend past "comb-ability" to ease of styling and frizz reduction is something I have almost never experienced... until I tried Silk 18. I can say honestly and without reservation that this is by far the best natural conditioner I have ever used. I do find that I have to use a lot, but that's true for me with every conditioner so it's not a deal breaker. Comparatively, Silk 18 is very reasonably priced and the larger size is comparable, per ounce, to the cost of drugstore brand names, and definitely cheaper than salon brands. The smell is a light vanilla that is mellow and not at all overpowering, with no weird chemical undertones. I have to say, I used to hate washing my hair because of how hard it is to comb through afterward, but now I look forward to it thanks to this conditioner. And while there is probably no such thing as a hair product that is perfect for every hair type, I believe most people would be at least satisfied with this one, even if not quite as in love with it as I am. Important note: As a busy mom of two young children, I rarely have time to write product reviews. That's why it's so nice when companies offer discounts or - better yet - free products in exchange for posting a review. Apparently I just needed a little motivation! Maple Holistics has such a program, however, I have not received anything for free or been promised anything in return for leaving positive feedback. The instructions I received with my initial purchase simply require one to provide proof of their review via a link in order to receive a free product. Hopefully that is honored... I will try and remember to update this review as to how that process goes.

The short version - My hair is very dry and frizzy and used to be thick and course, but has been thinning significantly as I've gotten older. This stuff made my hair very soft, with a feeling like a toddler's hair. My hair feels lighter, not as weighed down, so the shorter, broken hairs are still a bit flyaway, but not in the same frizzy sort of way they used to be. And after 2 months, my hair is not as thin anymore. I love it and would recommend other give it a try. The slightly longer version - I have very dry, frizzy, wavy hair that has thinned as I've gotten older and became much more broken since I've moved to a house with very hard water a few years ago. It is medium length, about mid-shoulder blades when wet. I've been using this Silk18 conditioner with the the Maple Holistics Hydrate Shampoo for Dry Hair and Flaking Scalp for about 2 months now. I wanted to know how it would work somewhat longer term. I've used some shampoo/conditioners that seem great for the first couple of weeks and then don't work well anymore. Nothing I've tried has worked well for this long, and I've tried things from the inexpensive Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine to the more expensive Wen Fig and a lot in between. The first thing I noticed after using the Maple Holistics shampoo & conditioner was that it made my hair really soft. It also made my hair feel light and not weighed down. Because of this I think that some of the broken hairs that I have at the front were actually a bit more flyaway at first, but not in the frizzy way they used to be. As time has gone by, my hair is still soft, the flyaway broken hair is slightly (but not a lot) less flyaway, and my hair feels somewhat thicker and fuller at the roots as well as through the length of my hair. I am very happy that I've finally found something that helps my hair look and feel healthier and I'm hoping that it will help with the broken hair as time goes by. I would recommend it to others with dry or frizzy hair. I will update in the future if there is any significant difference in my hair after a few more months.

My hair fall increased. Also no conditioning effect.made my hair fizzy.don't buy u will regret

This is a beautiful conditioner that puts protein and spring back in my curls without any weight. I prefer this to many hair masks I've tried. Leaves your hair touchable soft and springy, weightless and well hydrated.

I don’t know how this hasn’t got 5 stars!! I discovered this 2 years ago and it’s still going strong. I’ve never experienced any conditioner that consistently gives you such soft silky hair and it’s natural! I’m my opinion it is the only conditioner worth buying. I used to have to always alternate my conditioners after a first good experience with them but now I don’t need to mix it up as much, I can use it for weeks on end before I feel like I might need to give it a rest, then I go back to it and it’s amazing all over again!

Das Zeug bringt nichts. Hier wird viel Geld für wenig Leistung gefordert. Das würde ich auf keinen Fall nochmal kaufen. Keine Empfehlung.

Amazing product! Started using it recently and my hair has never been better! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top quality conditioner!
