The It's a 10 Leave-in is the truth. I usually just get the sample sized because the full sized price makes me cringe.

I also like the Eva NYC mask. It's always sold out at Ulta but I was able to get a few samples. Make hair soft and super easy to detangle.
YES! I need to get some more. I think that's why I have been experiencing some breakage. Love this stuff!!!!

I want to know this too. I put it in my amazon cart before because of one of the reviews on here but I'm not sure...

I purchased the DC based on LHCF and Amazon reviews. Ordered from Amazon. I'll try to remember to review it in the Hits and Misses thread once I use it.
