I’m Australian with European heritage and my husband is of African heritage from Zimbabwe. He brought this product for himself as his hair kept on breaking and was dry. I used it once out of curiosity on my very fine thick wavy hair and was blown away by the results. I now use this once a week leaving in for 2-5 minutes and my hair is now much softer, shinier and silkier making it much easier to manage. So not just for African hair!

The colour looks fun. Deffinently a good cheap hair mask, better then most expensive ones ive used. I wouldnt say its a lush smell but it doesnt but me off. I put it on my dry hair and rinsed an hour later, all i can say is this is my savier! xx

AMAZING PRODUCT! WHAT CAN I SAY! I have very dry brittle hear that breaks as i half persian and half irish, i had been wearing weaves for a year after cancer treatment and although my hair grew back it was dull lifeless and thin so i permed it, this is on top of the monthly black dyes, then i decided to go pink and stripped it which didnt work , hair was still black but dead dead dead.... to the point where it was breaking off at the root and i getting bald spots, i was recommeded this and can honestly say after the years battling to grow my hair losing my hair to surgery and medications , colouring perming etc, this is a miracle, i have spent fortunes on expensive promises of products but this actually works, my hair is thicker, fuller, and so so so soft and shine is great, absolutley best product i have used,cholesterol is a wierd name but it works

Amazing product, does wonders :) However, the smell is defineltly it's let down! We don't want that weird washing opwer smell. Doesn't look appealing at all, but hey! It does the job. My hairs curly, like really tight curls, frizzy and thanks to the last bleaching experiment, my hair was realy dry, and with consistent use of this wonderous butterlike cream, it's getting so much better :D

i use this product on my sons hair he is mixed raced it has been so brilliant on him he loves it cause he knows it isnt gona hurt when it comes to trying to brush through his hair.
i agree it doesnt smell to good at all but it does the job brilliantly i cannot comment on how it could work on other hair textures but i no it works wonders on my sons hair i would say definatly give it a try because it is so cheap i was very shocked at how cheap and how good it was!
i dont realy rate the childrens D & L hair products but maybe his hair texture just needs a stronger product.

This product transforms my dry split coarse curly hair into beautiful soft shiny manageable curls. It doesn't cost the earth either.
I have tried so many hair products and spent so much money over the years trying to manage my mediterranean mop. I love it and I love my curls now. they look fabulous!

If your hair is dry and damaged and you've tried everything out there this is the product for you! My hair has been through hell and back, perms, colors, straightening, etc. This truly worked for me..

Made my hair soft. Don't care for the smell at all. I had to leave it on for way longer than the instructed time to get some results. Satisfactory, but was expecting better.

I love, love, LOVE, this deep conditioner. I have been using it for about 7 years and I am devoted. I see a lot of women on the internet complaining about the results. I guess it's true that everything doesn't work for everybody. I have very thick, multi-textured hair. When I say multi-textured, I mean, coarse in some places, soft in others, straight-ish and wavy in some places, tightly coiled and kinky in others. Yes, I am black and no I am not mixed (other than through my ancestry). I have waves, curls, coils and kinks. My fro at it's biggest was about the equivalent of two basketball sitting on both sides of my head. I have recently cut my hair but at its longest, straightened, my hair was waist length. The Dark and Lovely cholesterol does WONDERS in detangling my hair while wet and my hair feels so soft and silky afterwards. I love it and I will continue to buy it. The only reason I didn't give this product a "10" rating is because it is so hard to find these days. I order it online now, from places like amazon and texas beauty. Please bring it back to the store shelves!

Dark and Lovely products aren't good at all. Their dyes dry and break your hair, they claim to have deep condtioners but it's not true. Please don't use their products try Henna or a Mayo Deep conditoner with Olive oil.

When a flatmate recommend me to try Dark and lovely Ultra Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment, I was a bit sceptical (I am usually sceptical about brands that I have never heard of before), but to my surprise this one really is the best hair treatment I have come across so far (and I have tried L'Oreal, and TIGI etc). It smells lovely, goes on like a dream, and your hair is turned from straw into silk in just 5 minutes. My hair was in good condition before, but this one had a BIG effect afterwards (much smoother and softer, and totally moisturised and nourished), and it really lasts. Using a shower cap is optional, but the heat guarantees even smoother results!
