My son tends to forget to put conditioner in his longish hair, so this is a quick addition to complete his hair routine. He loves the smell of pineapples so I figured this would be perfect for him. The scent is heavier on the Papaya I suppose, as we can barely make out the pineapple. The scent is sweet, but still nice. I am not sure how much this is helping detangle and protect his hair from frizz, but his hair does look a bit healthier after using for a bit, so I would say it is doing its job.
