Review
Positive: Aunt Jackie's Knot on my Watch is by far the best and easiest detangler I have used on my hair in the history of EVER!! It is fantastic and smells great as well. The smell actually lasts for about a week. Knot on My Watch is Paraben, Sulfate, Mineral Oil and Patrolatum free so it doesn't have that yucky stuff in it that us naturalistas try really hard to stay away from. The first ingredient is water so it was winning before I even out it on my head!! Let's go back a few...I first started using Aunt Jackie's after a visit to Family Dollar for a hair brush and durag for my daughter. I was browsing the product aisle like I do at EVERY store I go to and low and behold, there it was..for $5.00!! Of course being the reforming product junkie that I am, I had to try it...a detangler, for $5.00, that smelled good AND it was made with natural products. Even if it didn't work, I figured it was worth a shot. I began to use it on my daughter's hair which is beyond a tangled mess after a wash and it worked a miracle on her head. She didn't even cry during the process. So I used the one small bottle (they only come in 6 oz bottles at Family Dollar) in no time. I figured I could make it a staple product so I bought more. Then I found a place that was selling a bigger (10 oz) bottle and I went for it! $7.99 and no tears when combing is worth every penny!
Not only do I back this product for children, I use it on my hair (mid back/bra strap length), as well. It provides awesome slip for detangling and with the Shea butter and olive oil enriched in the product, it is an awesome leave in conditioner as well.
After using it for a while, I noticed that my hair became much easier to detangle cutting my total wash day routine down by quite a bit of time. It also provides lots of moisture to my hair. I love that you don't have to use the entire line to feel like the product works well. I don't typically use an entire product line anyway. I like to mix and match!!
I HIGHLY recommend Aunt Jackie's to naturalistas that experience lots of tangles from fairy knots to larger tangles. If you like a lingering scent of product, this scent will usually last about a week if you don't put too much other products on your hair. It also provides some moisture which can reduce the amount of other products you may need for that. Like I mentioned before, I use it as a cream leave in during my process and my hair LOVES it!!
Negatives: It doesn't last a long time! I need a pump size bottle of this stuff!! I prefer not to by the smaller 6 oz package because it won't last very long if I stick to a weekly wash schedule. Unfortunately, this is the most common package in the stores. This product can also be very messy...it's a loose consistency (similar to conditioner) and since you use A LOT to get those harder to soften areas, it can make a bit of a mess.
Overall: This product will remain in my "must haves." It worked the very first time the same way it works now. I will recommend this to any and everyone that struggles with tangles and difficult to manage coils or curls after a wash.
It's available at more locations now that it has become more popular. They also have a website auntjackiescurlsandcoils.com with more information.
