Does the name of this have anyone else thinking of The Great Gatsby when they read it? It sure does for me. I tried a few Taliah Waajid products a few years back and none of them worked at all for me. I keep seeing them..and avoiding them until I just really needed a detangler and wanted to buy from a black owned brand. Figured it was time to give the brand another try anyway.

• Helps to eliminate tangles on contact
• Works to define curl pattern while combating breakage
• Rich with moisturizers and proteins for soft and healthy hair
How to Use:
Detangle and Leave-in Conditioning: Use on wet or dry hair. Separate a section of hair. Apply a liberal amount of The Great Detangler™. Use fingers to work the product through the hair to loosen tangles. Use medium to large wide tooth comb and start combing from ends of hair up to scalp area. Style as desired. Deep Conditioning: Use after Taliah Waajid Clean & Natural shampoo™. Use liberal amount on hair, sit under dryer for 15 minutes or more and rinse out. Dryer not necessary for instant conditioning.
What It Does:
The Great Detangler™ that lightly coats, softens, protects and helps strengthen hair; leaving to leave it soft and manageable. It is rich with moisturizers, proteins, and conditioners to leave it more manageable. The Great Detangler™ is specially formulated for curly, kinky, wavy and coily hair textures. It eliminates tangles on contact. It works to prevent breakage while combing and gently softens the hair. For best results, use the complete line of Black Earth Products™.
I'm glad I gave this brand another try because I really like this product. So much that I went and bought a back up. It's not often that I do that either.
It's a gel cream sort of texture that really aides in detangling with the slip it provides. I think the past Taliah products I tried had a laundry scent to it, which I really hate for hair products. This is still a really fresh scent but it doesn't bother me. Kinda reminds me of a bubble bath scent.
The only thing slightly negative I can say is it's not one of those products where a little goes a long way. I tend to use up quite a bit in a detangling session. Luckily, it's not toooo expensive. The listed price on the website is $8. I can't remember what I paid for it, but in terms of black owned brands that's a pretty great price. Remember back in the day when products aimed at natural hair were ridiculously priced? There are still some, but I appreciate this brand for being on the more affordable end.
If you comb through with the right tool, you can get some good definition...but I don't find this provides any hold. But it's not designed to do that anyway so I'm not mad.
The ingredients aren't horrible...in fact for the price, I think it's alright!
Ingredients:
Deionized Water (Aqua), (Vegetable) Glycerin, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, (Vegetable) Propanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol (From Coconut Oil), Cetyl Alcohol (From Coconut Oil), Cetrimonium Bromide, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera), Hydrolyzed Silk Protein, Ceteareth 20, Balsam, Caprylyl Glycol (Plant Extract), Phenoxyethanol, Parfum (Fragrance).
Overall, I already bought a backup and will probably keep on buying it until I want to try something new or it stops working for me.
