This really is a great product. I'm half black/half white (3C hair) and for years it's been hard to find products that will make my hair look AND feel great. This stuff is not just leave-in conditioner, but it will also replace mousse or a medium hold gel. I would not recommend using this with another holding product, but every type of hair is different.

I was a little wary of the reviews that I've seen on Mixed Chicks (they seemed a little too good to be true) but my hair has never looked and felt so great. I've been complimented by people I didn't even think would notice! Plus, it smells great! I will definitely buy more and more of this.

Also, I recommend buying the shampoo and deep conditioner as well.

***UPDATE***
About 9 months ago I quit using Mixed Chicks products because I decided to try the Curly Girl method, which involves eliminating certain ingredients that this contains. I will not change my star rating because it is still one of the best non-CG products I've used, and it totally changed my hair.

Anyway, I would like to mention that after hanging around the naturallycurly.com message boards, I have found that you either love this product or hate it. I am saddened that several people have tried this with poor results, and it just goes to show that people with similar looking hair can still require different types of products for their hair. If that is you, I've heard good things about Blended Beauty products, so maybe that is the product for you. You also might want to consider the Curly Girl/Guy (CG) method as explained on the NC message boards.

I am going to post this update on my reviews of Mixed Chick's products as well.

P.S. For those that experience "crunchiness" remember to scrunch out the crunch with damp hands after your hair is finished drying.

I purchased the leave-in conditioner for my 2 1/2 yr. old daughter, and received it yesterday. I had to write my own review because I wouldn't believe it if it didn't see it for myself. My daughter has never had a good hair day since the day she was born. No lie. I have spent a lot of money trying to find something that would work on her unusually soft, very, very curly, frizzy hair. Living in humid Florida, no matter what product I used she somehow would end up looking like Don King or Albert Einstein -- the latter would be considered a good day. HOWEVER, I tried the Mixed Chicks product on her and IT WORKED! I am still in disbelief. It's like a dream. Nothing has ever worked! My husband came home yesterday afternoon and commented how Zoe's hair is the best he's ever seen it and what did I do to it. FYI, my husband never notices anything! I dyed my hair several shades lighter weeks ago and he still hasn't noticed. But he noticed my daughter's hair. The next day (today) I just spritz her hair with water and it looked great. I didn't even have to re-apply. Wow! I've already told my parents and siblings (we're mixed hispanics)about his product. The ladies should expect a lot more customers. I'm going to tell everyone!!!

I am a mother of a black/puerto rican daughter...Whose hair is very curly. However, upon ordering Mixed Chicks...Our war with the comb is over! Her hair is beautiful and the frizz is GONE!!!!!!!!!!! This product was ordered on a Thursday and recvd. on Saturday...How great is that....And, the customer svc. (Brad) was wonderful and very helpful with ALL my questions. I was sent samples to try and now I am hooked for my daughter...Thank you and hope this is helpful for any mother who has to go to war with a 3 yr. old and a comb.

The thing about this leave-in conditioner is that you need a lot of product in order to achieve a decent look. Don't get me wrong, it does work... But you only get so much in that tiny little bottle. It's kind of weird how the owners decided to make the bottle so small when the majority of people with curly hair have very thick, unruly hair. Why such a small body? Anyway, back to the point... it dries crunchy and sometimes leaves my hair hard.

This conditioner is ok. If you use a whole lot if makes your curls look real nice. But you have the more you have in your hair the heavier it makes your hair. Both me and my daughter have long thick hair and with all that product it makes my neck hurt. I didn't like how it also made your hair hard and that you could not touch it too much after it dryed or else it would give you flakes.

Let me start out by saying I used the products exactly as the instructions stated. I had extremely high hopes for the Mixed Chicks products (I tried the trial pack that contained all three -- which is a very good deal). It's enough for more than one application. Unfortunately, after I used the shampoo, my hair felt WRONG, it felt a little hard and matted (I have 3c hair). Then when I put in the deep conditioner in my hair felt MUCH better. So I thought, ok, this might work. And then when I applied the leave-in conditioner, it felt nice. The problem is after my hair dried. I have fine hair, so as the MC video instructed, I did not use alot of product. However, my hair still was a little hard and "crunchy" after it was completely dry. And on day two, it felt really dry (even after I applied the Daily Moisturizer that I use ... which normally does a very good job. So, this hardness, crunchiness, and dryness of my hair prompted me to research the ingredients in the MC Products and I found that the shampoo contains tea lauryl sulfate which is VERY drying for the hair. I will not be buying anymore of this product for ME. I am sure it works for some people, as evidenced by so many rave reviews. But it does not work for ALL of us Mixed Chicks!

I've recently decided to accept the reality that I have curly hair, will always have curly hair, and I shouldn't waste time straightening it every day. On a mission to find the perfect product I came across Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner. Although initially I wasn't getting amazing results, after awhile I perfected a method and now I can say this is by far the best product I've used for my curls. Although it seems a bit expensive, a little goes a long way and it's completely worth it. I have chin length hair with a mix of 3a curls on the top and 3b curls on the bottom and this is how I use the product to end up with seriously NO FRIZZ perfect curls that are completely soft, bouncy, and shiny:

1. After a shower I towel dry my hair slightly so it isn't dripping wet, but not much more than that.
2. I put a pea size drop of Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner in my hands and evenly distribute it around my hair. I don't use any other products: no gels, mousses, or hair spray. I know, it's hard not to, but just try it.
3. I do the twirl hair around finger trick on the top layer of my hair to make curly sections.
4. Then LEAVE IT ALONE. Don't touch it. Don't look at it. Don't even think about your hair. Don't twiddle it. Don't scrunch it some more. Don't blow dry it. I know, also quite difficult.
5. When it is completely dry (yes, completely, don't cheat here) you'll notice it kind of looks like you put gel in your hair: a little crispy. Scrunch the hair a bit and the crunchiness goes completely away and you get the softest curls that have zero frizz (unless it's like 100% humidity...no cure for that other than moving to a desert).

I follow the curlygirls method of no shampooing/avoiding silicone products/etc for the most part, except I use this product. I haven't had a problem with build up to this point (I've been using it for about two months) so I recommend trying that if you hadn't already.

Bottom line: GREAT product. Try it, if it doesn't work for you you can always give it to another curly head friend. They'll end up loving you forever.

excellent for curly hair. Leaves it soft, shiny and smelling nice. Very good for children's hair because it does not have harsh chemicals.

This is some of the best curling stuff on the market. It actually does do what it says it is gonna do, it really does define those curls.

I have been using this on my now 3 year old daughter for a year and a half now. She is black/Mexican and this is the only product that has turned her hair into beautiful, soft curls. I saw in feautured in Parent's magazine and ordered 1 bottle. I cannot tell you how many I have ordered since. I recommend this to all of my friend, relative and basically anyone else that has kids with curly hair. I have even used it on my own hair and it works great!
