After trying many different organic and supposedly "natural" shampoos and conditioners over the years, I recently discovered this product, Silk 18 by Maple Holistics. It met all of my initial criteria: natural, non-toxic ingredients, sulfate free, reasonably priced, and highly rated. As a frequent Amazon shopper, I always read product reviews, and I have to admit I was impressed with all of the positive experiences shared by other customers.
As for how it works for me, it might be helpful to know that I am a caucasian woman with medium length, wavy/curly thick-but-fine hair that is extremely frizz prone. I have always been particular about the conditioner I use because it can mean the difference between having a tangled, knotted mess or having hair I can comb through relatively easily. Having the benefits of a conditioner extend past "comb-ability" to ease of styling and frizz reduction is something I have almost never experienced... until I tried Silk 18.
I can say honestly and without reservation that this is by far the best natural conditioner I have ever used. I do find that I have to use a lot, but that's true for me with every conditioner so it's not a deal breaker. Comparatively, Silk 18 is very reasonably priced and the larger size is comparable, per ounce, to the cost of drugstore brand names, and definitely cheaper than salon brands.
The smell is a light vanilla that is mellow and not at all overpowering, with no weird chemical undertones.
I have to say, I used to hate washing my hair because of how hard it is to comb through afterward, but now I look forward to it thanks to this conditioner. And while there is probably no such thing as a hair product that is perfect for every hair type, I believe most people would be at least satisfied with this one, even if not quite as in love with it as I am.
Important note: As a busy mom of two young children, I rarely have time to write product reviews. That's why it's so nice when companies offer discounts or - better yet - free products in exchange for posting a review. Apparently I just needed a little motivation! Maple Holistics has such a program, however, I have not received anything for free or been promised anything in return for leaving positive feedback. The instructions I received with my initial purchase simply require one to provide proof of their review via a link in order to receive a free product. Hopefully that is honored... I will try and remember to update this review as to how that process goes.

Natural and works? Keep me signed up!
This is a great product. I have long, VERY thick (I clog the shower drain every time I shower because I shed so frequently), coarse hair normally. It's unruly, it frizzes easily, and it's a huge hassle if I don't do something with it and let it dry au naturale. Allow me to walk you through why I believe you should give this product a chance:First there is the smell. It has a vanilla scent with a slight almond undertone. It's very fragrant and will dull out post-shower. The smell is not nauseating to me, and it's hands down a better (and cheaper) product than Wen. (Sorry Wen!)Second, there is the quality. I don't leave it in that very long (about 2 minutes while I shave) and after my hair is very soft. With Wen I had to use it twice and leave it in for an indeterminable amount of time.Third, there is it's magical ability to be used as a leave-in conditioner (I do NOT recommend that ladies or gents with thin hair use this as a leave-in because it may be too heavy for your hair.) I use it as a leave-in and no frizz (I took a hint from Wen) even when it's moist out. (Didn't use it as a leave-in one time and it was a huge mistake!)Fourth, it does help my hair feel different--in a good way!A few hints that may help (science or superstition, I don't know but I think it helps.)* Leave it in while you shave or do other things to give your hair a chance to absorb.* Rinse in cold water (my hair becomes extra shiny when I rinse in cold water!) and, for my thick-haired ladies, add a small amount to your palm and try to spread evenly. (I find that the Wet Paddle Brush helps to spread evenly without pulling, stretching, and breaking wet hair.)* Post shower, do NOT towel dry your hair. It causes breakage and it's not good for your hair. Instead, I recommend the MICROFIBER turbie twist. I love it because it keeps my hair in place, it isn't bulky, it helps the hair absorb moisture while drying, and allows me to focus on the first thing that I work on in the mornings post shower....my facial regimen.Feel free to ask some questions! I'll be happy to help! :-)Please feel free to ask some questions and I'll be happy to reply.*I did not receive free product to try before I purchased this product. That being said, if you post a review after you purchase you can follow the instructions on the card to receive free product. I did notice that there's a difference in coloration in the bottles from the free and purchased product but when I tried the product I got for free I didn't notice any noticeable differences in my hair. I will post pictures of the free product vs. purchased product in a day or so. I will also experiment by using my clarifying shampoo paired with both the free and purchased product and show differences between this and the conditioner by Garnier - Brazilian Smooth and style as normal. I hope that this helps those purchasing! Pictures to come in the next week!*
