Doesn't Soften
Definitely don’t get for softening or smoothing! This feels like more of a texturizing formula, similar to those “sea salt beach hair” vibes.

Doesn't moistuize
Smells good but doesn’t moisturize at all. Most of the positive reviews were paid reviews.

Really not a fan
Ugh I would never buy this again. I dislike it so much I’ll just throw it away, even though I’ve only used it a few times, it’s not even worth using up the bottle so I don’t waste it. I don’t really hate the scent but I don’t really like it either, but that’s not even the main issue. After using it my hair feels really weird after it dries, almost a bit sticky or even crunchy. (And I’m really not using too much of it, maybe 2 or 3 sprays). I don’t feel like it makes my hair particularly easier to brush out but especially after a few hours it seems to make it even harder to brush out. It does make my hair shinier I guess, but it’s not worth it for the awful way it feels. Everyone’s hair is different, maybe it will work great for yours. But I do not like it for mine.

Please make a cream!
Wish this came in a cream formula! Spray conditioner is not effective on my hair. I love the scent though

Great product to refresh your styles
I love using this when my hair is in twists or wearing a wash no go. It keeps my hair hydrated and prevents dry ends. I continue to go back to it. The smell is a bit strong at first but it doesn't bother me.

Not for me.
I love the smell of vanilla, but I really didn’t like this. It’s very very strong. I even rinsed my hair with water and I could still smell it. It was also very heavy, it left my hair very greasy.

Meh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was just okay. I don’t think it was hydrating but I mostly used it as a refresher if my hair was feeling dry and I didn’t want to wash it just yet.

I have 2a/2b hair and this left my hair feeling soft and reduced most of the frizz. It helped my waves look more defined too. I would recommend.

Not vanilla
I’m not sure if I got a defective bottle or these reviews are paid promotions but this stuff smells horrid. The vanilla scent is a weird overpowering smell, not the usual soft vanilla. I wanted to wash my hair again to get rid of the smell. Returning.

This was the product that made me fall in love with Carol’s Daighter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the product that got me hooked on Carol’s Daughter many years ago, mainly because of the scent. It smells so nice in your hair. As far as effectiveness, I’m not too sure. I have thick, coarse hair and I feel like this product just sucks it up but with no benefit aside from the fragrance.

OK, but not great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like the sense of the product however, I don’t feel that it provided more moisture than any other product but maybe that is because my hair is low porosity it might work better for other textures.
