After reviewing several products in various places, I decided to check out Tropic Isle Living Leave-In Conditioner & Detangler with a Fusion of Rosemary, Shea & Black Castor Oil . It comes in an 8 ounce bottle and it has a light herbal, slightly citrusy scent. It is a liquid spray and when I sprayed it on my hair, it felt pretty light. After washing and conditioning my hair, I sectioned my hair and sprayed it, then took my wide tooth comb and began detangling. I was pleasantly surprised that this product did in fact assist with my detangling.

My hair is type 4 normal porosity medium length Afro textured fine hair. My hair strands are quite fine but my hair density is increasing after battling thinness. I have several allergies including allergies to synthetic dyes. Therefore, I have found that mostly natural products work well for me. Also, I have a scalp condition known as seborrhea dermatitis. Due to my scalp condition, I have to be careful in selecting a product that does not cause redness, irritation, or flaking.
I have used this product for the past month with great success. Not only does it assist me with detangling, but it moisturizes and helps with elongation of my curls. My coffee stirrer sized curls are wonderful, but they are tightly packed causing major shrinkage. When I use this product I am able to use my wide tooth comb to comb out my curls and stretch them a little. If I am doing twists then my twists comb out smooth and tangle free. If I opt to do a twist out or braid out, then I get more "hang time" with my hair hanging all over.
In conclusion, I give this product 4 hair balls for a great, light citrus smell and it performs as promised. Tropic Isle Living has a wonderful product that provides excellent ingredients and it is easy to use. I purchased my product from my local beauty supply store for under $14. Although I have used it for about a month, the bottle is still almost full. A little goes a long way and this is great considering that I won't be needing to spend a lot of money replenishing my supply. If you are looking for a natural detangler that will help you cut down the amount of time you spend fighting knots and tangles, then this may be the product for you!!
Thanks for the review, Raven! It looks like you have a new staple in your regimen :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting! Yes, this leave-in detangler has in fact become a part of my updated routine. With so much to do from day to day it helps to have a product to assist with detangling. I don't have hrs to spend on my hair.
ReplyDeleteMan, I would love to try this but the hydrolized protein wouldn't work for me. I may try it when I get braids though as a braid spray. I have to be careful because products with protein make my hair feel hard and dry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts, Braelynn! I know some curlies have problems with protein, but protein is like Scoobie snacks for my hair. Lol.. My hair just LOVES it and in fact, I learned that having steady protein helped my hair growth. But, I know you have to do what's best for your hair. If you use it as a braid spray let me know how it works. :)
Deletehello. why did it only get 4?
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley! You have to apply this detangler strategically. If you let it get dry then it's not as good as when used wet. I find that using it on wet hair is the best method. So, I figured 4 hairballs out of 5 since it has to be applied a certain way to work best.
