Mielle OrganicsMongongo Oil Protein-Free Hydrating Conditioner, 8 Ounces

I’ve been using this gem for a few years now. I found it when I started my natural hair journey a few years back after I had some bleach damage & was trying to restore my hairs health. It’s been in my shower ever since and I probably only buy it twice a year because a little goes a LONG way with this, you seriously don’t need much. I put some on my finger tip and run it through my mid to my ends lol, and I have long thicker hair.Whether I wear my hair natural or straight/styled, this stuff just works. It’s like water for my hair lol. I don’t know how else to describe it.My hair seems to love it and it goes on like butter. I instantly feel it melt into my hair and leave it so soft and smooth.I personally shampoo my hair first, then condition it with a different shampoo and conditioner that I’ve also used for years and has grown my hair and kept it healthy, and then once I wash out most of the conditioner, I use this Mielle conditioner as a leave in. Sometimes I’ll use it on top of my other conditioner and then rinse and put more in as a leave in. Just depends on how I’m feeling and how my hair is doing. When I travel I usually just use this conditioner to keep it simple. But it’s been in my routine for years now and I’ve recommended it to all my friends because it’s just so good.I’ve had my hair bleached again and also went back darker again in the past few years and my hair has stayed healthy through it all. My stylist always comments on how healthy my hair is.This stuff is truly a gem and the ingredients and natural ingredients in it just make it even better. My hair stays growing, healthy, soft and smooth. Even when I wear it natural. I’ve tried a ton of other natural products, products way more expensive & none of them do what this does. (Didn’t have any pics without my face showing so I just uploaded this pic where it’s straight for reference).

I have type 3 curly hair and my partner has type 4 curly hair. This moisturizes extremely well without weighing hair down your hair or leaving too much residue. It helps soften hair and decrease frizz as long as you style your hair well. It gives your hair great slip allowing for easy detangling with a wide tooth comb or tangle teaser. The smell is great, like all other products from this brand. You get a decent amount of product for the price and it preforms better than many expensive hair masks.

I couldn't figure out why my hair had gotten so fragile and was breaking off so easily. It turns out (after much research) that proteins are added to so many hair products it's difficult to escape it. My favorite styling cream is loaded with it and I didn't realize it had gone from helping to damaging. This lightweight creamy conditioner does NOT contain any proteins, and leaves my hair incredibly soft. Never greasy-looking or weighed down. It's kind of pricey to wash down the drain so I actually use a small quantity as a leave-in sometimes, and make sure to do a deep condition twice a month at least. Very delicate smell, not all gross and candy or flowery scented. BTW my hair is wavy, grey and fine textured. I think this product is best for curly/wavy hair.

This is my go to conditioner when I want to hydrate and moisturize my hair, and want to make sure I avoid protein overload. The mongongo line is simply amazing, including the exfoliating shampoo. I have 2b curls and hair that is prone to tangling and falling off due to stress. This conditioner helps bring back shine to my hair and shape my curls to look their best.

I bought this deep conditioner to see how my hair would respond to it, and I’m really impressed! After using it, my hair felt incredibly soft and moisturized. I’ll definitely be repurchasing

I'm starting this review with a desperate plea to Mielle- please make this in bigger product sizes! I go through it so fast and I'd love to buy it in a 16 or 24 oz size!I have extremely fine (yet thick) low porosity 2A hair. When I say low porosity I mean it. I can't color my hair because the color won't penetrate the cuticle. Every product lays on my hair and leaves my hair greasy and nasty. This product is amazing. It smells like heaven. It doesn't break out my sensitive skin. It has amazing slip, and I can rub it in to moisturize my scalp and it rinses clean without making my hair oily. This is a huge deal because I've only ever been able to use conditioner on my ends. I use this as a rinse out conditioner, and wash every 2-3 days (low porosity+oily scalp problems).My dream is them making a version thin enough to put in a 32 oz pump bottle instead of a tub. This thicker version makes a great mask but I go through it too quickly using it as a rinse out. Thin it so it's easier to distribute in thick hair and it will be absolute perfection!I think the market for low porosity products is hugely untapped and bigger than these companies realize. A lot of people with fine hair and straight hair actually need low porosity products because the cuticle is tiny and tight. So many people with straight hair are sleeping on this brand and this product because porosity is really only discussed in the curly and coily community, but I've been telling everyone I know. I want this brand to get the support it deserves and to recognize the demand for more products like this one.
