Fantasia IC Naturals Avocado Cilantro Conditioner - Deep Hydration & Strength for Natural Hair 355ml/12 oz
Avocado and cilantro, or coriander as it is sold over here, is an unusual pairing for a conditioner. Avocado is the part doing the heavy work. The oil is thick, carries vitamins A, D and E along with fatty acids, and behaves more like a treatment than a standard rinse-out.
That matters most on hair that has gone brittle. Dry ends snap during detangling and the fix is slip, meaning enough conditioning that the comb keeps moving instead of catching. This one delivers it, and the 355ml bottle is generous enough that you can use a proper handful on thick hair rather than rationing it out.
Softness and shine come with it, and frizz settles for the day. Fantasia pitch the conditioner at all hair types, though it earns its keep on 2a to 4a textures that are dry, coarse or worked hard by styling.

Application tips
Squeeze the excess water out after shampooing, otherwise half of it runs straight down the drain. Work a handful through mid-lengths and ends in four parts, separating with your fingers as you go, then leave it to sit for three to five minutes. Comb it out with something wide toothed while the product is still on, working up from the bottom. Rinse cool. Keep it off the roots if your hair goes flat easily.
Results
Hair comes out of the shower already behaving. Ends feel padded rather than papery, the surface lies down instead of standing up, and the difference shows most the following morning when there is no cloud of fluff to flatten. Coarse textures soften without going limp, and the gloss looks like conditioned hair rather than added oil. Two or three washes in, less snaps off in the comb.
Composition

- Rich in fatty acids, it softens brittle ends so combing stops tearing them
