For best results, alternate Hydratherma Naturals, Amino Plus Protein Deep Conditioning Treatment with Hydratherma Naturals, Moisture Boosting Deep Conditioner weekly.

My Experience:
The scent reminds me of the "Baked Beans" candy I used to eat as a child. I know sounds gross, they were actually pretty good and they were really roasted peanuts with a hardened candy crust. Anyway, it has a really creamy texture. I found this dc to do exactly what it says it would do. It added strength to my hair without the drying or stiffness that protein dc's can add. Again, I am pleased, but honestly I was kind of expecting wow!!! from these products. My experience with the HN line is getting better so I look forward to trying my other samples.

I would use this product again, I don't guess I would buy it as a staple, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was just blah and I already have a protein dc in mind that I compare my others to and this one doesn't beat my Joico. I'm not sure there are any out there that can beat Joico KPAK and Motions CPR, but b/c I have so many products in my pj stash I will use each and every one of my products up.
