Babo Botanicals, Detangler Instantly Smooth Berry Primrose, 8 Fl Oz

We've been purchasing this detangler spray for our three-year-old daughter's hair for the past two years or so, now, and it's always worked wonders to untangle her curly mixed hair (which is also coupled with Babo's shampoo and conditioner, as well as, most recently, a deep conditioning treatment via Shea Moisture's Hydrating Hair Masque). However, our most recent purchase last month had the incredibly strong, synthetic smelling scent that others have also spoken about, making it quite off putting to continue using. Seeing that no one here was getting any straight answers about whether or not Babo had changed the ingredients without our knowing (obviously), I had to ask them directly via their website. And after explaining everything, plus giving the requested expiration date (which mine is/was 03/2020, so check yours if that's the batch which might smell off/strongly), the person informed me that they did temporarily try to switch up the scent, using a 'Rosey Berry' scent instead of the original we're 'all' used to. However, apparently the customer feedback wasn't well received, so they no longer supply this newer scent. (After which, I've been sent a complimentary bottle to compensate which, once it arrives, I'll update this review to verify it is the original scent.) So if your bottle's scent is too strong and isn't the usual, soft flowery scent it's always been, then (presumably) don't worry anymore, since Babo's apparently aware of our distaste for it and have returned to the original smell. They did also say that since Amazon (which I specified was where I've always purchased my bottles) does have third party sellers, they obviously can't control that. But since I also let them know that I buy/have bought these bottles (including this recent one) from Amazon, itself, I suppose we'll have to cross our fingers and see if they, too, stop having the 'Rosey Berry' scent in stock. Hope this helps anyone else who might be unsure of their bottle's suddenly overpowering scent! UPDATE (11/21/18): Just received the complimentary replacement bottle, and although at first (after opening the bottle, itself) we were afraid it was still the same overpowering scent, after using it in our daughter's hair, it really is/was the original, soft berry smell. :) (The expiration date for this bottle is 06/2020, so if you order again, check the date to see if it's the same batch.)

I have been using this product for my daughter for 2 years! It’s a great smelling, competent product that delivers amazing results. Detangles my daughters curly hair and I started using it on my hair and I constantly am getting compliment on how lustrous my hair is at work and I attribute it to this product. Other than that I only use head and shoulders shampoo on my hair. I doubt it’s from the head and shoulders shampoo and instead the shine is coming from this product.

I was concerned about the scent because strong "fake" scents give me headaches and sore throat but this has a very light and natural berry scent. I don't find it strong or irritating and it dissipates within a short time as well. De-tangles my fine but thick curly hair very well and it doesn't seem greasy. Very pleased and I would buy again.

The smell is strong smells like fruit loops which im not a fan of at all. But the product itself is amazing !!!! Leaves the hair so soft and frizz free. Best detangler ever ! Just wish the smell was more of a natural berry smell .

I know this product is marketed to little ones, and I am an adult woman lol but I always have had super tangly hair. I’ve been growing my hair out long and I intend to go longer, but constant knots and tangles left me struggling to brush my hair and in near tears every time I brushed my hair out. I bought one bottle that lasted me 7-8 months, and I just bought another bottle because I love it so much. If you ever start to get low or something you can add some water to it, shake it well, and it still works really nicely. Smells suuuupeer nice and sweet. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin nor does it dry out my hair. It’s very moisturizing. In fact you might want to be careful if you spray too much because it can weigh your hair down a bit from the oils in it. I honestly feel beautiful when I use it, and that’s just the truth. I was a very sensitive-skinned baby, and I am still as an adult. I wish little me had this for her hair!

Great product with great ingredients. Hair stays soft and no frizz

I should have listened to the reviews about the smell but was hopeful that the new formula they mentioned was better as I like Babo products. This was the strongest and worst smelling product for baby or adult I have ever purchased. I instantly washed it out of my baby's hair and my husband said it burned his forehead when he rubbed his face. I have used Babo products in the past as a trusted clean and non-toxic company, so this was very surprising and extremely disappointing. There is no way that this is a 100% natural product. It is a good reminder to check the label for 'fragrance' as it serves as an umbrella term for over 3K chemicals that companies do have have to disclose. Our babies deserve better, do better Babo.

The product is decent for its price, it revitalizes my daughter's curls but it is not hydrating, even when I wet her hair first and lock in moisture with oil. It doesn't do it for me. Plus, I don't like the smell, the smell is a bit strong despite it being natural and organic. The smell lingers in her hair for days. So I'll try something else.

Deja el cabello de mi hija muy suave, brilloso y oliendo muy bien, viene bien empacado.

A little goes a long way and it's very moisturising. Its got a nice floral scent which some people might like, but I am not big on fragrance.

Cap breaks after 2 sprays

Al tiempo de haberlo aplicado, estoy hablando de varias horas, adquiere un olor como fermentado. de ahi funciona muy bien
