Side by Side Comparison of: Giovanni Cosmetics, Inc. vs InstaNatural

So far so good. Leaves hair nice and soft and smooth. Not heavy on the hair and not greasy. I think I need something more powerful for my curly hair though. It smells great too!

Love love love this conditioner. My hair soaks it up. Leaving it soft enough to detangle with ease. There is no smell to it. It's very lightweight.

This is my favorite summer leave-in. I am an African-American woman with natural hair who tends to wear twist-outs for the whole summer. This holds in moisture without lots of weight or flakes. I can use this with an oil and cream moisturizer and not need to re-moisturize my hair for the next 3-4 days. Be forewarned though, as with most leave in conditioners, it will take a long time for your hair to dry after applying - especially if you do not use heat.

This is my favorite leave-in conditioner. I have really curly hair, and I'm super picky with what I use. My hair dresser throughout the years has tried different products to keep my hair looking smooth and feeling soft. Once he tried Giovanni's Direct Leave-In Conditioner, I needed to look no further. It smells pretty, it keeps my hair soft, looking smooth, and helps add some weight to my curls so when I let my hair out my hair goes down not up.If you're debating just to try this product, I suggest that you do because you will not be disappointed.

I have been using this product for many years. Each bottle lasts for a long time. I have frizzy hair that has been very long, to my waist. This helps tame the frizz and makes long hair more manageable without leaving it greasy.

I think it might work.. Just tried this conditioner last night. My hair looks great this morning. I have tried so many product on my hair! My hair is dry and a little frizzy, and nothing would tame it. So far, I am pleased with this product. Best of all, I like the fact that Giovanni products are cruelty-free!!! That is a HUGE selling point for me.

This is the best product ever for protecting my hair. I am in my 60s and still have long hair. This product prevents breakage and dryness, yet is never oily looking. In the short time since I have tried it, many of my friends and family have started using it because they loved the way my hair looked.

i have frizzy hair when i get out of the shower, no blow dry, no products applied. with that being said, my hair gets crazy tangled and it frustrates me when i try to come it with my fingers and my comb/brush. i lose a lot of my hair this way, so i needed something that will help with this frustration and this seemed to be it from what the customers reviewed. it has safe ingredients and it's a leave in conditioner. I bought this at first for just the frizz and my dry hair, but recently i had gone to the salon (after a year) and got an ombre and it's refreshing to know this product also is good for colored hair. i didn't need to purchase another hair products just for colors, this has it all. it's been working well for me if not better and my hair when i apply this, detangles and leaves the tips of my hair soft, smoothe, frizz free and light. does not leave that greasy, heavy feel like most serum. i'd recommend this.

Nice product packaging for a good product. A little goes a long way. My hair is formerly brown, now grey, colored blonde and dry. This is an oily product that adds shine and silkiness. The difference between this product and "repair and shine" is the pump. One pump delivers a tiny amount.Good shine on hair.

This leave in hair treatment is HEAVEN! I have long, thick color treated hair that tends to get some breakage and some flyaways - This does the trick! My hair remains silky soft for days with just one application!! I like the smell too. A little of this goes a long way. Argan oil is great for skin, nails and hair. I couldn't be happier :)

My hair has gotten thin and flyaway and it does exactly what IT wants to do unless I perm it, which hurts it more. I got a curling iron and this Argan to see if it might hold the curl on top where the perm has grown out. I was surprised that the directions said to only use about a dime size amount in your hand. I was much more surprised that that little bit conditioned my hair as well as if I had deep conditioned it. I did heat set my hair and it actually stayed most of the day. I did not think to get mousse or hair spray or it would have held up longer. I will use this from now on to smooth my hair, even if it has a perm. Another plus is that it has almost no scent since my husband is allergic to many scents. I have taken many things back for that reason so this is a gift for the whole household.

Argan Oil Hair Treatment - The Best Leave-in Conditioner for Vibrant Color & Volume Growth - With Organic Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Shea Butter and More - InstaNatural - 4 OZSo I've ordered this product and had it for 4 weeks in a few days. I try my best to write good reviews and cover the important parts. I know when I was looking for hair products I felt lost in the sea of options to choose from. I did my best to do research and find something at a fair price as well. I have very curly, very kinky hair. So my review will be from the perspective of a newcomer.I ordered the product looking for a quality leave in conditioner, after reading about how important it is to keep my hair moisturized and hydrated. All my early life I let my hair stay short, because working with my curls proved ineffective. It wasn't until my later years I realized the difficulties of my hair. Especially the problems of washing curly hair so frequently. So this seemed like a great product to try out and rejuvenate my dry and curly hair. First I'll say if you want something pleasant smelling, this isn't for you. It smells very plant like, which I assume is good, but it doesn't smell wonderful at all. I haven't used it as a leave in conditioner during the day, but I have used it as a leave in treatment at night after a good thorough wash. My hair has begun to shine and is much easier to style. My favorite part is the hair is softer, which I like because the only time I could get my hair soft was not washing my hair so often, to allow my natural oils time to really get up the hair. So this allows me to wash my hair a bit more, but more importantly get to my ends right away.All in all, I like it! I'll eventually come back to this and compare it towards another treatment, but not until this bottle runs out. 15$ on a 4oz bottle of oils although compared to others fairly priced, still not something I can do so quickly. The bottle is very sturdy, it fell out of my bag onto asphalt, about a four ft fall from where my hand was, and only scratched the body. The nozzle fell off but I was able to place it back on quite easily by hand.

I love this leave in conditioner! The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because there's one leave in conditioner that suits my type of curly hair more. But this is a close second. I'm certain I'll use and buy again.

I use this on my daughter's natural hair and it makes it soft and manageable. I would purchase it and again and also recommend it to others.

I like this leave-in condioner, it does the trick. I like that it's not strongly scented, the scent is mild and pleasant. It's not oily at all (as long as you don't use too much).

I'm not a big fan of this as a leave in. It's ok for moisture but there's no curl defining properties to it. I definitely prefer my Shea moisture jbco leave in above this but it's an amazing detangler. I just wet my hair and put a dime size amount of this in the section I'm working on and the comb glides through.

I like it, I don't love it. If you're a natural looking for a leave in with good slip that's heavy enough for 4a-c hair, it's a good one, but I've been natural my whole life and when I was a broke college girl, I used Suave Conditioner as a leave in (and for everything else) and it was just as good. Honestly, it's not worth the price unless you're not concerned about price. I'd stick with tresseme or even suave coconut for a good smell, good slip and great conditioning. I like it and I understand why so many girls like it because it SAYS leave in while still being heavy enough to provide slip and deep moisture, but you can use regular conditioner as leave in, check the ingredients! They're exactly the same as a regular conditioner.

I love the product itself, but I think the size selection is not reasonable. The packaging makes it look much bigger than it is, but in reality, an 8.5 oz container is smaller than a 12 oz can of soda (think about it). It's time to make it available in larger sizes to the public. Like I said, I like the product, but not enough to buy this amount/price for use on a regular basis.

Great product for my hair. I can't use regular conditioner in my hair due to being extremely sensitive to a lot of products, but this stuff works great! I didn't give it a full 5 stars, just because I can only use it on the ends of my hair and if my hair is wet. Otherwise if I use it too close to my scalp, on my bangs, or if my hair is dry, it makes your hair have a weird texture and from afar makes it look greasy. You'd don't need very much of this stuff, and this small bottle has lasted me about a year with everyday use and I have really long hair (mid to low back). Definitely recommend, just make sure you know what your hair needs and where it needs it, otherwise you look like you haven't washed your hair in a couple of weeks!

My hair was severely damaged from daily shampooing, color treated, and blow drying. The cold weather has also caused my hair to frizz. I was surprised that after applying 2 dime size of the Argan Oil leave in treatment my hair looks and feels more healthy. Don't take my word as my husband even noticed and said my hair looked good. Thank you

I like the effect that this product has on hair but I really don't like the smell of it. Odd, because I note some other reviewers said there was no smell.

I like many of the products that I have tried from Insta Natural as well as Foxbrim. This is no exception. However, the consistency of this product was a little heavy and so I felt it weighed down my hair. I would just make sure the apply a small amount.If you are searching for a hair product that provides shine then this definitely does! It will also help with some conditioning. I will buy again unless I find something better.

I have dry, dull medium length, thin hair.This was a product I wanted to absolutely love, but it didn't do too much for my hair. It smells amazing, feels amazing to put on, but I ended up using it more like a prewash treatment rather than leave in conditioner because it made my hair clumpy. I bought it because of the wonderful positive reviews, and gave it 4 stars because it really does feel nice but it didn't work for me as a leave in conditioner and as a prewash treatment I rather use something else.

I've been using it on my daughter's ethnic brittle hair for over 3 weeks now. I have to admit that I have seen a positive difference in her hair. It hasn't been breaking off as easily as before, resulting in fewer split ends, almost none at all. I can only believe that if I continue the treatment, it will her help her hair in it's totality. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the scent. It's unpleasant. I mix it in with another nourishing creme to try and disguise it. I want to try another product with a better scent, but if I have to come back to this one, I will definitely update.

I was told this was the best leave in conditioner for thick curly hair. I can't say I agree. I used it as a leave in and then blew dry my hair. Made my hair stiff and greasy feeling. Maybe it'll work better on air dried hair. Definitely not good for blow drying!

Was ok on my hair (4c); phenomenal on my son's hair (3c). I'm not counting it out... I will say when it is first applied it looks like it's not going to blend in well, thick white coating; but that's not the case, very happy about that!

Not sure what the hype is with this product. I used it a few times but didnt' find it to be the "holy grail" that many claim it is. I don't hate it but probably wont' be ordering more. Wasn't the best product I've ever used for my hair

This didn't perform so well for my kinky hair as it may have for others. It did nothing to detangle my hair the way some other deep conditioners do. Sorry, I tried.

I just think this is ok. Perhaps I need to dilute it? It did not play well with the gel I applied on top of it and there was massive flaking and I was not impressed with that.I will try it diluted and then change my review based on that.

Leave in conditioners tend to feel heavy on me and if I go a couple of days without a wash it feels like it gets crusty. This product is less than other but still not super awesome. To me it doesn't have any fragrance at all which is better than a strong fragrance but I don't mind a inconspicuous scent. :)

THIS OIL SMELLS AMAZING, IT IS LIGHT AND MOISTERIZING WITHOUT BEING GREASY..I LOVE IT AND WILL DEF BE BUYING AGAIN, THANKS!update :( I just realized this has silicone in it from reading other reviews and googling the ingredients... such a shame. I will not purchase this again as I was looking for something natural..

I used to love this product. I have two more bottles. I compared the ingredients because I noticed my hair wasn't as good as it was before. They put silicone in this. I am changing my review to 3 stars. The company is great. They reached out to me and offered one of their natural oils complimentary. I'm still not thrilled they changed the ingredient list on this. But the company obviously cares which is nice in this day and age

I expected this to be a way to use argan oil that wouldn't leave my blonde hair looking greasy, like using plain Argan oil does. The product works OK and doesn't leave my hair looking greasy but I'm not sure that it adds the amount of smoothing or moisture that I would have expected based on the description and customer reviews of the product.

This product was better when it came in the dark glass bottle with no scent. My last reorder the packaging has changed and the oil is loaded with perfume that smells like a nightmare involving me not finding the exit in Macy's.As a guy who used this product for his hair and beard, the new scent is enough to make me look for an alternative daily hair oil.

This "Argan oil" is just a complete waste of money. Don't be fooled by product advertisements. Always check ingredients and look through reviews. I was under the impression this was just a mixture of oils...an argan oil infused hair treatment as stated. However these oils are not even the main ingredients. There are polymers in this. This is a SILICONE BASED hair treatment and it only addresses any symptoms of the hair such as instant shine and smoothness and/or "quick fix" for split ends. It does not get to the root cause as if you were to use the oils alone. If you are looking for an all natural oil based hair treatment that is for the long term health of your hair this is not for you. I suggest making your own oil hair treatment as I ended up doing or purchasing 100% pure argan oil.I had to do a clay hair mask detox after this to rid my hair of this because a silicone-free shampoo just would not do it.*Used on kinky-curly 3c/4a-ish type hair.

My fiance has not seen the same softening results from this product as we have seen when he has used other brands of beard/hair oil. This does seem to be a good value, and I specifically looked at this brand because it's unscented. Unfortunately it's not for us. Also, and know this is confusing because I just said we got this because of the unscented nature of the product, but this smells a bit musty to me. It may just the combination of oils, or maybe I'm used to a scented product that covers up their true smell, but I didn't love snuggling up to him when this was recently applied.

I should have listened to the other reviewers. This stuff is very thick. Thicker than the kind you rinse off. And it does leave your hair kind of stiff. I was expecting a spray or at least something more fluid like Paul Newman's leave in conditioner. The only thing I like is the citrus scent.

Loved this product until I bought it the other day and the texture changed and it doesn't have the slip that it had before. Very disappointed!

I have thick curly hair. It's fine not coarse which may be why this product did not work for me. It actually dried my hair out so I stopped using it. It sounds like if you have the right hair type it this works quite well though.

I tried to use to because I bought it but it was a big fail. I followed the Youtube hype and purchased it. I do not see the big deal. It does not have a great smell to it and it left my hair feeling dry and stripped oppose to conditioned. I have use most of it just to give it a chance and mix with other things to see if it would be different but it hasnt been. At this point, it will stay under my bathroom counter until I find someone to give it to.

This leaves a greasy film on my hair and doesn't do much for thickness either. Waste of money as far as I'm concerned.

I've been using this product for 2 month now, I'm from Perú and here there aren't good products for wavy hair so searching the web I found very good reviews from this product... so I order it hoping it would do the same for my wavy frizzy hair... but it really didn't help at all =(

The product arrived all greasy ... the oils have leaked...

Discouraging! The ORIGINAL product by same name was remarkable!!! It's a VERY DISAPPOINTING SWITCH. This product is 'OK' but NOT the SAME QUALITY and has the SAME NAME.PLEASE InstaNatural BRING BACK ORIGINAL PRODUCT which was a 5 STAR!

I have thin-ish hair and was hoping this would give me some volume, but it's failed to deliver. I've tried it for about two weeks on wet hair/damp hair/uncombed wet hair, but nothing seems to work. Sadly, the only difference I've noticed is that my hair seems greasy! I've avoided touching my roots/scalp and have mostly focused on the bottom half of my hair. Bummed. On to the next hair product...

I have very hard to manage, tangle prone, dry, frizzy hair. If it's humid or hot my hair looks insane and it's not even curly so it looks like I just haven't bothered to brush it for a week. It's awful. This product helped while the temperature and humidity were at normal levels in my house... But after being outside on a hot & muggy summer day, it poofed up just as it always does.So in my case, it's not helpful in heat or humidity at all but if I'm inside, in the ac, it does make my hair softer and less frizzy, a lot less tangled. It just can't stand the weather I guess.For hair similar to mine, you may want to look elsewhere, this product isn't for severely frizzy and tangled hair. I think it would work wonders on women with less bothersome hair.I wouldn't knock this product, but it isn't as great as it's cracked up to be, for me anyways. I will likely return it.

This smells like diarrhea! I tried it three times, and the experience was the same each time. It's okay when smelling it in the bottle, but when putting it through my hair, it's horrible. I left it in my hair for a few hours and kept smelling diarrhea throughout. I love all the oils blended into this - and none of them smell this way on their own! - but this is definitely going back.

This is not a leave in conditioner. Its too oily if you dont wash your hair with shampoo. I thought it will not be sticky after applying this oil but it is. Even description says wash your hair after applying. I am very confused why it is " leave in conditioner".

Yuck. Made your hair super dirty and oily with even a small amount. Smell wasn't pleasurable either

This product is not as advertised. It is both heavy and sticky. Not sure how they can advertise weightless

Worst I have used and I have tried many.

After using Nexxus Headdress this is a big let down. Makes my hair greasy

I bought this product believing that I would be getting what I ordered. The ingredients listed for this product is not what you actually get when you receive the product. The ingredients on the product are actually: Aqua (Purified water). Cetyl Alcohol. Tocopherol (vitamin E). Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5). Citric Acid. Phenoxyethanol. *Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice. *Helanthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil. *Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract. *Betula Alba Extract. *Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract. *Achillea Millefolium Extract. *Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract. *Equisetum Arvense Extract. *Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract. *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract. *Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Extract. *Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract. *Tussilago Farfara (Coltsfoot) Flower Extract. *Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract.This product did nothing for my hair and if I had known "Phenoxyethanol" was going to be in it I would have never bought the product.

It did absolutely nothing! I tried it as a leave in conditioner- adding it to a few drops of oil sometimes... If anything the oil helps tame some frizz.. This actually make my hair feel like the ends of a broomstick. And I tried everything- a little, a lot, with oil, with no oil- no results!

This is the worst experience I have ever had on Amazon.When I bought this product last year, it was composed of just natural and organic ingredients. So. I went to re-order it from my history list and it said "Buy again" so I did thinking it would be the same product. Well.. it WASN'T. The first 4 or 5 ingredients in the product are not even anything I could pronounce. Not only that but the product was completely different from the original one. It was weird and smelly and didn't do anything nice to my hair. Shame on you, whoever you are who are selling this product.

The positive reviews refer to a previous product. The company seems to be trying to make money using the same name on an inferior new product that is hardly more than cheap silicone serum. I'll try to return my opened bottle, but am not counting on their taking it back.

Either the below reviews are lying, or the company has changed their ingredients. I ordered from this company and I'm quite disappointed because of the ingredients the previous reviewers had listed. It has dried out my scalp and made my hair dryer. The following ingredients are:Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Caprylyl Methicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Fragrance, Organic Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa), Carrot Seed Oil, (Daucus Carota Sativa), Organic Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera)

They changed the product by a lower quality and effectiveness one.All the great reviews you read are about the old product.

This purchase was a reorder. The original order's ingredients were six natural oils. This purchase's first six ingredients were unpronouncable chemicals including a polymer which usually refers to a plastic. I didn't read the ingredients before purchasing because I thought it was the same product - same manufacturer - same name. My mistake. Caveat emporium.

I've used it for about a month now and it does nothing for my 4c hair. Still searching for the product that works vest for me. Oddly enough I have added it to other things to use on my skin because of the many oils in it and it makes NY skin feel soft.
