I have long wavy hair (type 2b) which is very fine and an oily scalp. I found it cleaned my hair well and left it hydrated without feeling over-moisturised. My curls looked and smelt great. The product is clear, has a lightweight gel/jelly texture and a nice soapy fragrance. It comes in a metal tube which you squeeze to get the product out. This is a cleansing conditioner so you do not need to use shampoo with it - just work it in well and leave in for 3 mins before rinsing. It does not lather as much as a traditional shampoo but there is a bit of lather when you rinse it out. Beware if you use a lot of styling products, especially if they contain silicones, or if you have a very greasy scalp as you may find this doesn't clean all the build up. I use a clarifying shampoo every 3rd wash and that seems to work great. The only thing that disappoints me is the price! If it was more affordable I would repurchase so I guess my hunt continues.
