I felt that this product definitely stood up to its claims. I never used it with an egg, so if you have let me know how it went. My hair felt fuller and stronger with repeated use. I tried it as a dc only. My main purpose when purchasing this product awhile ago was for a prepoo. I didn't want to miss out on the dc experience if I prepoo'd and b/c I am not repurchasing anything anytime soon, I try to make the best of what I have. It's a truly great dc. I like the strength, but for me I found that using it even every other week was too much. I had to go for every 3rd/4th wash with this product. I am kind of, almost comparing this to my beloved Motions CPR Treatment Conditioner. The main difference being that my beloved is a light protein and can be used weekly. This one could possibly be a cheaper alternative to my Joico DPR. I must say that it wasn't great on slip, but that ended up being fine. My hair wasn't really tangled or matted it just wasn't buttery. I would definitely repurchase this product. WOuld it be a first choice staple,no. This a back-up staple for me. Who knows when I get down to nothing which I am very close to I will repurchase this and the Motions CPR Treatment Conditioner to compare and see which one I like better. Motions gave me great slip and was cheaper, but the herbs were harder to rinse out.

P.S. Yes, this can be purchased at your local BSS. I was ordering my entire wishlist at the time I purchased this so I figured might as well get it shipped to me. It was maybe $2 more expensive this way than just driving down the street.

STAPLE: Yes, 2nd Place, though
