For some background I have fine, thin, long, straight, colored, hair with very little damage. It is also on the oily side and I wash it either everyday or every other day depending on how active I was.
The Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner is going for $16.95 at Target while the It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product is going for $14.59. However, consider that the Healthy Sexy Hair one is 8.5 fluid ounces ($1.99 per ounce) and the It's a 10 one is only 4 fluid ounces ($3.64 per ounce). I also have to tell you that I bought my It's a 10 one in a double pack for around $20 at Target a couple of months back so it is possible to get good deals on these products especially if you do your research.
So here are the pros, cons, and general details of each product...
Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner:
Product is very thin
It's a really good detangler
Doesn't add a lot of moisture
Have to use a lot to get moisture
The smell is not offensive or even noticeable
The mist is fine and narrow
It is bigger and cheaper
Not that great for travel because it can leak
Works ok on wet, damp, and dry hair
Is solely a leave in conditioner and detangler
It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product:
Product is very thick
Not great at detangling
Good at conditioning and makes my hair feel soft
You don't have to use a lot to get moisture
Has a strange, strong smell (Doesn't linger)
The bottle is small yet expensive
There is a bit of residue that lingers for awhile
The mist is wide and thick
The bottle is thick, sturdy, and small so good for travel
Works best on wet hair
Also claims to do other things like act like a heat protectant
All in all I do prefer the It's a 10 one because I feel like I can use less to get results (which makes the cost difference better), I like that I can skip the heat protect if I use this, I travel a lot and I enjoy traveling with it more, and I think it does more for me (see the product's 10 claims). I also don't have bad tangles in my hair but I do need a lot of moisture; if the opposite if true for you than maybe you would prefer the Healthy Sexy Hair one.
Now, this is just my opinion and experience with these products. I know when I was standing in Target it was really hard for me to choose between the two and I hope this post helps those of you out there with your decision. Thanks for reading! ~ Alissa
