I was initially super skeptical about this 2-in-1, especially with my super long, thick hair (down-to-my-waist long)! I’ve always needed a separate conditioner to keep my hair soft and manageable, so I honestly didn’t think one bar could handle it all. But I decided to give it a shot, followed the recommendations, and skipped extra products to let my hair adjust. After about 5 washes, I was surprised to find I didn’t need a separate conditioner! This bar left my hair soft, smooth, and even a bit easier to brush than it was before. It lathers like a dream, smells amazing, and even with my extra-thick hair, it lasted around 3 months with weekly washes.
