Loves it!!!

One of my favorite leave-in conditioners is Giovanni Direct Leave-In. This leave in is awesome!

It's an organic product, which is especially great for the natural kiddies and it really makes curls pop. Since this leave-in has a thick, creamy consistency, I like to apply it to wet hair. It's great after a co-wash or after shampooing and deep conditioning. If I use it and I haven't washed the hair, I just spritz the hair with water then apply. This product provides great slip, so I don't really feel the need to apply additional detanglers to the hair and I don't have to add a moisturizer because the ingredients are moisturizing enough on their own. I do seal with an oil after applying. On Sunshine, I like to seal with carrier oils like extra-virgin olive oil (evoo,) coconut oil, almond oil, etc. I don't partucularly like to use greases because they tend to contain mineral oil or petroleum which can be damaging to the hair. I order most of my Giovanni products online at vitacost.com because they offer it at a very reasonable price (around four bucks and some change) and they have flat rate shipping for $4.99. What I usually do is order a couple of bottles along with any vitamins that I need to stock up on so I can benefit fully from the reduced pricing and flat rate shipping. Did you think I was kidding when I said I don't do full price?! LOL. Anyhoo, this product is great for any hair type from curly to straight, natural to relaxed, black to white - it's good for anyone. Try it and let me know how you like it!
