Suave has really come up in the world. i have not used the brand since i moved outta my mother's house where all she would buy is suave and i hated the brand with a passion. but for some reaons i just *knew* that this stuff would be good and i was right. the conditioner is fairly thick and smells nice, you apply, wait and rinse and BOOM, shiny, soft healthy looking hair that is not weighed down in the least, which is really nice b/c i can use this anytime. usually i have to restrict my deep conditioner use to during nighttime b/c no matter which ones they are they leave my hair weighed down, but not this one. definitly comparable if not better than high end.
