For the cost, there are alternatives.

I purchase this product as a promotion and with the intensive repair conditioner. I found with my hair it seemed to make it dryer and stiff. I followed all the instructions properly and used for over a month without any additions off brand products and stopped blow drying or using heat on my hair. Although this products has reports of working well with some people, I would encourage a way to sample some before commuting to a full size purchase for the price. It does have an interesting smell which I did enjoy.
