Giovanni's Smooth As Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner combines botanical extracts and hydrolyzed soy protein to detangle and soften curls while adding shine. This CGM-approved formula works particularly well for those seeking a lightweight conditioner that provides slip without weighing hair down. The blend of grapefruit, orange, and mango extracts brings a subtle citrus scent that doesn't linger too long after rinsing.
Aloe vera and sea kelp extract help hydrate while the plant proteins work to strengthen hair structure. For curls prone to frizz, this conditioner smooths the cuticle and helps manage flyaways. The formula provides enough slip for detangling during the conditioning process, making it easier to work through knots without excessive breakage. Works across various curl patterns from loose waves to tighter coils.
Low porosity hair benefits from the lightweight moisture that won't cause buildup over time, while high porosity curls find it helps seal the cuticle without feeling heavy. Those with fine to medium density hair appreciate how it conditions without leaving a coated feeling. Apply after shampooing, work through to the ends, and rinse thoroughly—some also dilute it as a leave-in for added moisture between wash days.
Users frequently mention the pleasant fruity scent, soft texture, and improved manageability, with many noting reduced frizz and increased shine. Some with very dry or coarse curly hair find it lacks deep moisture for their needs, while those with fine hair praise its lightweight feel and detangling properties.
