Best Conditioner Ever!
I have always been plagued with dry, brittle hair and the only conditioner that ever made it manageable was Aveda Brilliant Conditioner. After losing half of my long hair during Chemo, I tried using other supposedly moisturizing brands to keep what I had left manageable. The only one that worked was Aveda. Is is the BEST.

Used to love
Doesn't condition my hair as well as it used to. I had to put large amounts in my hair and it's still not soft. So I've already used half the bottle in only a few shampoos . This used to be my favorite conditioner ... what happened? Did you change the formula?

Nice but a bit heavy, no detangling power
Nice conditioner but is not a detangler. My hair is long and thick so I prefer a conditioner that also has elements of detangling power. I also feel like this weighs my hair down a bit. Smells amazing though and I like using Aveda products so I am keeping and will just switch off with other conditioners when my hair is more tangled.

Did not know it's for textured and treated hair
I did not realize this is intended for use with textured and treated hair. The description online did not mention it, but if you look closely at the bottle it says this. I returned it as I have neither textured nor treated hair.
