I have used sunny isle for around 8 months now. The shampoo and conditioner with black castor oil my hair drinks it up. When I seen this pomade especially with lavender I knew I had to try it. When it came I wasn't sure at first. It was a solid and was more like a balm than anything else. I use it on my scalp and the ends of my hair after I put in leave in conditioner. I have to say I am a huge fan of it. It isn't oily in the hair. It melts into the hair strands extremely well and even though it is only 4oz it will last me a very long time for what I use it for. A little goes a long way. Price wise I can't complain especially with how long I will have it for. I highly recommend it especially if you have dry, damaged hair or naturally curly hair like I do. You hair will love it!
