For me, conditioners are one of — if not the most — important parts of any hair-care routine. Not only do they need to soften and hydrate, but it should also have enough slip to act as a detangler. The Curlsmith Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash ($25), which doubles as a co-wash, accomplished that and more thanks to its shea butter-infused formula. I used it just as I would a normal conditioner since I don't co-wash anymore. After sectioning my hair, I applied the conditioner to each section, detangled it, and twisted it to keep it out of the way. Doing so allowed my hair to remain detangled and allowed the product to actually soak in for the three minutes that the brand instructed on the label.
I was impressed with how my comb glided through my curls without any painful snarls, and when my hair was fully detangled and ready to be washed again, it felt soft to the touch. This conditioner now sits next to my holy grail detangler, and I am more than comfortable switching between the two of them without a second thought. That's how good it is.
