Review:
Since I’m on a quest to find more products that I can buy locally and that are also all natural, this really caught my eye in the wholefoods grocery store. I hesitated to buy it at first but then I saw ladies raving over it at the online hotspots.
I finally took the plunge not too long ago, after having tried the Aubrey Oraganics While Camillia (AOWC) . It’s a wonderful DC. I applied this to dry, freshly washed hair overnight and my hair was soft and lovely smelling in the morning.
I also see the difference in the AOWC and the AOHSR. AOHSR is much more moisturizing and therefore more suited to a DC. I’d been using the AOWC for a DC occasionally, but I see it better suited for cowashing since I’ve tried AOHSR. I also prefer the smell of AOHSR. Though don’t get me wrong, AOWC was pretty kick butt too.
The only really bad thing I can say about this product is that it is so hard to get out of the container when you get down to the last bit. It’s super thick and clings to the bottom. The only way to get it out that I’ve found is to pour in some water.
Will I buy this again? You bettah believe it!

I love your blog! I’m two months into wearing my “own” hair. I’m also a product junkie, having collected Miss Jessie’s, Curls, Mixed Chicks and other products for over a year. I may try this conditioner from Whole Foods. I love love love Miss Jessie’s Rapid Recovery, and have been trying others to see if any compare. I like Carol’s Daughter Smoothies, but not enough to give up RR. But I’m willing to hunt for a replacement.
I really like the twistout you’re wearing with the scarf. What product did you use, and were they small or medium twists?
Hi! Thanks for the comment
Congrats on wearing your own hair, doesn’t it feel great? I’ve not yet tried RR, but will probably try to get ahold of a sample one of these days.
In the picture of the twist out I used shea butter and aloe vera gel. This is what I usually use on twists.
Yes, I love,love and love the honeysuckle rose conditioner! I too, experience problems getting it out of the bottle. My hair feels like silk afterwards, you get what you pay for!
I am not new to being a natural, but I am new to healthy & proper care for my hair. I just learned the basics like not using hair grease, never combing hair dry, only using a wide tooth comb etc etc about two months ago. I also have been hiding my hair under braids & stocking cap quick weaves for my entire adult like so far (i am 25) Since learning more about my hair I have gone all natural with the products- no silicones and everything. This is the first time in my life that a conditioner or a deep conditioner has made my hair soft or conditioned at all. I was amazed my hair has seriously never felt like this. I will use this conditioner forever. it also smells so good. i give this conditioner ten stars!
tried to love this conditioner….but it actually makes my hair dry unless i mix it w. another DC once i pull the conditioning cap back my hair looks dry & doesnt feel moisturized.
Do you use it like the bottle says, on Dry Hair? I’ve never heard of deep conditioning your hair when the hair is dry before. Any tips on how to use this conditioner?
