I have highly porous, 4C type hair, which needs tons of moisture. As an experimental person, I'm yet to find a hair custard that leaves my hair as happy and as manageable as AJ's Curl La La does. My hair's left feeling incredibly soft, becomes easy to work with, and leaves neither residue nor causes build-up/ residue. Listen, even my hair dresser is sold. The smell is an added bonus. I swear by it so much that I'm due the next purchase.
