Review of Baba de Caracol conditioner

Okay, so I've pretty much used up my Baba de Caracol conditioner. This is a Domincan conditioner, and I've tried it before. The verdict is it's a no go. I do like this conditioner, but not enough to have to order it online (I must absolutely love a product to be willing to order online on a regular basis). The product does provide moisture, and it is good for detangling the hair while the conditioner is on. However, it was not much better than the other products I use. The product, for me, wasn't good enough to go through the hassle of online purchasing. So, I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't mind ordering online (and paying shipping and handling, I mean, really? Just ship the product as is, forget the box, stick a stamp on it and send it to my house :-/) and/or who has very tangled hair and has had a problem finding a conditioner that works well for detangling. I must say that one big pro to this conditioner is that it is cheap; I think it's like $5 for 8oz. however, that is not taking into account that pesky shipping and handling which ends up being as much or close to the price of the product. So if anyone is interested, you can order it online from Amazon.com or you can get it from a Dominican hair product based website such as Roundbrushhair.com, Bluebeez.com or others. If anyone is into ordering online and trying new products the Dominican conditioners are typically good, and get a lot of good reviews from African Americans with natural hair. If you're ever bored it's kind of fun to go on one of the websites (I really like roundbrushhair) and seeing all the different products, they use some crazy ingredients. I have tried a plethora of these conditioners and overall agree that they are good at moisturizing and detangling, but again, the hassle of online purchasing for something that must be replaced so frequently is too much for me.

So, summary
Pros

• moisturizing


• good detangler


• cheap (if you don't include S&H)

Cons

• must be ordered online (unless you are in the Dominican and some places in NY or NJ)


• not really a big con, but it doesn't smell great, it doesn't smell bad, but just not anything I long to smell (hope that was confusing enough ;-)
