My opinion:

I have been using this product on and off for a few months now so I figured it was time for a review. Now I am not the biggest fan of spray moisturisers because my hair doesn't tend to stay Moisturied for long so I have to follow it up with a thicker leave in. However as I as protective styling (using wigs) i find that this leave in makes moisturising my hair easier. 

This leave in claims to instantly detangle I personally haven't used it to detangle as I always detangle on wet hair with my shea butter leave in by African pride so I can not give my opinion on that. If you used it to detangle please let me know. 

I also use its when I was to do the L.O.C method, I spray this leave in on to my hair. I will be using this conditioner until it is finished then I will decided on if I want to buy it again.

Sodium Chloride: The cause of my scalp issues

Over the past year or so I have been trying to get to the bottom of my itchy scalp problem, and no matter what products I tired I still couldn't seem to get my scalp to corporate.

I kind of gave up on trying to find a solution until a few months ago when I tried a new co wash cleanser, at the time I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to the Shea moisture co wash and I decided to try Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Hair Co-Wash Conditioner when I initially used it my hair and scalp seemed fined however fast forward a few days and my scalp began to go crazy no amount of oil seemed to help.

After retracing my steps lol, I realised that it was the new co wash that was causing the problem, I googled some of the ingredients and one stood out sodium chloride which is the 10th ingredient.

Sodium chloride: better known as table salt, is used as a thickener in shampoos and conditioners containing sodium lauryl sulfate. It's a contributing factor to the eye irritation experienced with most shampoos, and it may also cause dry and itchy scalp. It may also cause hair loss. In shampoos containing ammonium-based surfactants, ammonium chloride is used instead. - Livestong.com

Now I keep a close eye on the Ingredients in my products just to avoid any future scalp problems.
