The promise: "It's in the stars! See smoothness in your future? How about some protection from humidity? Try this deep conditioning formula for all hair types so your ppath to soft, smoothe hair is perfectly clear."

During the cowash I noticed a BIG difference between TS and LTR... no not for the better. LTR always melts over my hair and pretty much dissolves tangles upon application, TS... not so much, I couldn't get that good saturated feeling.
During the combout/ detangling it didn't slip as much as LTR does. LTR gives instant slip, add more water and the comb glides thru, TS... again not so much. Don't get me wrong, it detangles, but I had to stand under the shower head to get close to the same slip as with LTR.
During the rinse out it rinsed out clean, and although I was turned off during the past two steps; I was surprised at how soft it left my hair after I removed my turbie twist... very silky. And ofcourse it smells amazing, like roses (or maybe its lillies... as the bottle says its fused with pink lily and asian silk).
Overall I liked the final result as far as the softness. My curls weren't anymore defined or as defined as they are when I use LTR, and I disliked that part. Just because it says its a smoothing condish, I didn't expect to have someone elses texture, but I kinda wanted it to un-frizz at least a little... I don't feel it did that. When I co-wash I like for my condish to be a bit foamy/ frothy, this didn't offer that to me (LTR does.) When I detangle I like to use as little effort as possible, especially since my 3c hair doesn't require any tugging or pulling at all when wet and saturated with condish. I had to try to get my wide tooth comb thru my hair with TS until I stood under the shower head. But as I stated before, my hair was touchably soft... I guess smooth. Sooo... it pretty much does what it says but if you're looking for moisture, not here. My hair needs moisture and this didn't do it for me (I guess that was my bad, cuz it says nothing about moisture).
Will I use this again?? Probably the next time I decide to straighten my hair (which won't be until a good while from now), so back to LTR it is for me.
P.S. the whole time I was using this I felt like I was cheating, and not even enjoying it. LoL!!
I may try HH (hello hydration) next, or break's over (if I can find it) word on the web is its been discontinued. But as my staple cowash... I'm sticking with LTR, it hasn't let me down (unless they do a formula change or worse- discontinues it... +insert blood curdling scream here* lol... but seriously.)
