Usually conditioners weigh my hair down. This one, however, is the lightest I ever used. It is fairly thick but spreads well and definitely detangles. It doesn't feel overly loaded with silicones like any average conditioner. For those who look for intense moisture for their hair, I would give this a miss. But for us whose hair is flat I think this conditioner definitely contibutes to more volume because it doesn't feel like you used one. At the same time my hair looks tame enough and sleek. Really recommended!
